I'm new and have a few questions...

[Milford Jenings]

Hey guys...don't want to go into all the details here so I will get straight to the point.

1. The first time around that I was seriously lifting, I was younger and recovered a whale of a lot quicker. Now my body does not want to bounce back as fast. I can only lift on MWF but feel my body likes 36-48 hours of recovery time. Since I can't fit that in, what do you guys use, over the counter, that speeds recovery? It's been a while since I really looked into this and want to side step any polished BS from companies that just want to sell their wares.

2. This time around I have to shave off a lot of fat, due to a serious back injury and some life changing events that I handled improperly. Also I am trying to build up my endurance for my future employment. I don't want to be just a strong man, but a strong man that lasts all day. Therefore I am training for endurance and strength. This works well with my goals to loose fat. To make a long question even longer, I am type 2 diabetic and have to watch my carbs, but I find that if I don't carb up before a workout that I am really flat 15 minutes into it. What are some good food-bars that are not loaded with simple sugars?

Ok..that's all for now and any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
MJ

Working out Mon Wed Fri should not be a problem if you work out three different groups say Mon=shoulders, back and biceps, wed = legs and Fri= Chest and Triceps. That will give you plenty of rest in between.

As far as pep for the gym, Creatine 30 minutes before wll give you strength and some endurance, Glutamine can aid in endurance and Caffiene and or a good fat burner Xenadrine can help out.

But I would not do both Creatine and caffiene before a work out.

Maybe one dose of xenadrene 2 hours before and 5 grams of Creatine 30 minutes before, and then just do it, dont let your mind set tell you you have had enough, you have had enough when you finish that last rep in the last set of your routine.....

And thats the bottom line.............

Cuz this jabroni....said so

for recovery: Glutamine, BCAA's, and postworkout shake.

For stamina i would do reps b/w 8-12 and cardio after your weights. For bars, check out DPSnutrition.com.

steroids are what people use to aid recovery and lift more often-other than that, get a lot of sleep and eat well

Thanks guys. I am working different muscle groups on the different days and then doing cardio after my lifting is done. I will look into the things you mentioned except the A/S...since I really want a good base before I start to add any enhanced mass. Besides my chosen career path may preclude me from ever using juice.

Thanks,
MJ
