It's been hard as hell for me to get on a gym schedule the last three weeks or so. Work has gotten so busy to the point that I cannot break away for 90 minutes a day like I used to be able to do. And it's pissing me off.

When I lived in PA and was losing all the weight, I was there 6 days a week for 90mins+. When I was working inside the office down here I could go after work. Now that I'm outside and busier than hell, some times I can't go for two or three days in a row. I still get 3-4 days a week in, but it just doesn't feel the same.

For example..today I thought I had time to go. I got in there, got about 15 minutes into my sets and had to leave because of work. I'm going to try to go early in the morning again, but that 6am stuff is a bitch.

WASHINGTON — Government health officials warned dieters and body builders Friday to immediately stop using Hydroxycut, a widely sold supplement linked to cases of serious liver damage and at least one death.

The Food and Drug Administration said the company that makes the dietary supplement has agreed to recall 14 Hydroxycut products. Available in grocery stores and pharmacies, Hydroxycut is advertised as made from natural ingredients. At least 9 million packages were sold last year, the FDA said.

Dr. Linda Katz of the FDA's food and nutrition division said the agency has received 23 reports of liver problems, including the death of a 19-year-old boy living in the Southwest. The teenager died in 2007, and the death was reported to the FDA this March.

Other patients experienced symptoms ranging from jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, to liver failure. One received a transplant and another was placed on a list to await a new liver. The patients were otherwise healthy and their symptoms began after they started using Hydroxycut, regulators said.

Wow. I've taken Hydroxycut Hardcore for about 2 years on and off. I last used it about 6 weeks ago. I was about to order more, but never mind that.

I've had no issues though.

I've been lucky enough to avoid using any type of supplement ever. I've always tried to keep it clean, but the temptation is always there.


I squatted on Wednesday for the first time in months....I've hated myself the last two days for doing it. farging squats.

How is that luck? You're happy one didn't jump into your mouth?

Haven't used Hydroxycut in 3 or 4 years but that's some scary shtein.

Because it's been a huge temptation since freshman year of high school. You go into any high school gym and 85% of the kids in there are using some sort of supplement. And they're always willing to share.

[Zanshin]

That's still not luck.

Luck is when they pin him down in the shower and force feed him protein shakes instead of supplements.

[Zanshin]

Exactly.

Flax seed oil. Thoughts?

good for stiff joints, stiff wangs, causes mud butt, zombies hate it.

for real though--

it tastes like garbage, so add it to a shake or something to make it easier to digest. There are plenty of clinical benefits as Im sure you already googled it. Get yourself a nice grub and take it an 1 hr before your workout. It will slow the absorption of proteins in your muscles and build mass quicker when lifting
