Thanks for the support everyone! I am curious about a product called need2slin. Anyone ever used this? Can I take it on a low carb diet?

Welcome and great to see your log up.

I, personally, don't use much for supplements (including much in the way of shakes) but I have used need2slin and saw some good results with it. It will work whether you are cutting or bulking. I'd recommend giving it a good 2-3 months but you will start to notice changes before then. In terms of the bloat, it went away after the first week or so and I think that is what most experience...that the bloat is temporary. It really is a great product.

You'll have to keep us posted!

No effing intensity in the gym today. Which really sort of sucked considering it was leg day. I lost my piece of paper with my 1rm on it, so I had to start by going back and doing it all again. My first squat hit the muscles of my outer thigh, right above the knees so hard that I was afraid to use the increase of 75% for fear of pulling a muscle. Better safe than laid up for a couple of weeks, but it was really discouraging for the rest of my workout. I think I'll throw in an extra protein shake today and hope it will help with the pain tomorrow. Pain is weakness leaving the body right? I'm still stoked. Gonna kill it tomorrow.

great job starting the log! good luck! theres alot great help on here.

How much did you try and squat today when you felt the tightness? do you train w/ a partner?

My hubby is my partner! I was only squatting 125lbs. Some of the problem lies with my feet. I have a high arch and a high instep. Because of this, I can't do squats with my feet straight ahead. When I try, my knees draw together and buckle. I really think that my problem today was that I went in too gung-ho and didn't really stretch like I should have. I've always had a problem with squats when I first start. By the second set I feel myself using one side of my body more than the other. (SUPER BAD!) It'll get better, I've just got to hang in there until my muscles remember how to be strong.

gung-ho and no stretching = massive problems!!! ahhh. yeah sometimes they need a rude awakening though lol

Great to see you here, keep it up ,that leaning and such shows that your stabilizer muscles are weak, no worries just keep going everything will fall into place soon.

 

[nick0597]

Yeah... It's not my quads or my butt that's sore. It's those tee-niny muscles right behind my quads.

Nailed it at the gym today! I even threw in some flyes cause I didn't feel like quittin! I'm so hungry right now, though. Feel like I could eat a whole cow. I'll stick to a small portion of it... (sigh)

oh ,and to answer your question Need2slin works I've used it and got another one on the way ,just take 2 caps 30min before meals!

Alright... I'm going to order the need2slin next week. I'll take pictures every week so that we can all see what the progress looks like. I'm not gonna post em until I start seeing some results, though. Hang in there with me guys! I love how supportive everyone is! Does anybody have a discount code for need2buildmuscle? CB was looking for me, but I haven't heard from her in a couple of days.

Does anyone have any lower cal, high protein recipes they can give me? It's not too difficult for me to stick to my diet, but I do get a little bored. I wouldn't mind going with some higher carb stuff too. Especially since I've got the need2slin coming.

Still having a rough time with those small muscles in my legs. I did deadlifts first thing at the gym today and they started feeling really tight again. Ihad to drop way down on the weight for my front squats and it made me feel like shit. I was so exhausted, I didn't do my normal uphill walk. I just finished with my abs and went to my truck for a recovery shake. (Still doing the 800 ibuprofen twice daily Radar. Thanks for suggesting it. It seems to help some.)

I wonder if I'm pushing my out of shape body too hard right now. I'm sleeping an average of 10 hours a night. Is this pretty normal when you first start working out again? I never slept longer than 8 hours(usually 6 hours) when I was in the best shape of my life. I'm just gonna keep pushing...
