i do my own thing beaches, lol

i didnt feel like i hit my chest/tris hard yesterday but theyre sore today, especially my tris!

and cytogainer tastes freakin awesome

 

I loved cytogain back in the day.

The stuff I use now is a brand called Intek and it tastes even better and is super lean. I really like it.

 

What do you guys think about the monster drinks?


My friend picked one up, (I'm trying to eat healthy drink healthy like everything) and he got me to try it and its great!

So I checked out the calories and garbage it seems pretty good at only 20 calories, but the caffeine is not in there..

It was the

Monster Rojo + Energy

 

i think its poison

 

I drink some Monster drinks, just the non carbonated ones. And Spike. Spike is like....tiger blood. Amazing.

 

What is this spike you speak of?


I mean more towards how bad is it for the body? Does anyone know?

Like I cut soda/pop completely because it's not helping me ya know?

 

Used to be a fan back in the day. But, now that I'm on a health kick I stay away. That goes for soda as well. I cant remember the last time I drank one.

 

0 cal, 0 carbs, 0 fat, B12, B6 and shit loads of caffeine.

A friend of mine I was working out with suggested that we do some core workout's on the suspension trainer. Holy fuck... This thing is crazy my abs and back are burning from the workouts we did.

 

^^^ the TRX trainers are awesome. we have 7 downstairs in the functional training room at my work

 

monster rehab tea's are good, they have green, red and regular tea, 10 calories, 3 carbs and a ton of caffine, non carbonated. i either drink one of those or i mix half a redline with a 20 ounce bottle of water and drink it during my workout.

 

thats still not bad.

 

I drink all water, fruit juice, and coconut water... not trying to be healthy it's all I like lol

 

I don't drink coffee at all but some days at the gym if it's been a long day I'll grab an extreme shock, extreme nos, or one of the vpx drinks out of the cooler.

I'm pretty strict about counting all my calories but the the way I look at energy drinks is hey its 10,20, maybe 60 cals. But caffeine does speed you up and you tend to move around more and workout a little harder so it works out.

Just gotta be careful drinking extreme amounts regularly. And it prohibits iron absorption if that's a concern to you.

Human Performance Lab I used to be at is doing a study now on whether caffeine has an effect on protein absorption. I hope it doesn't! Would mean no more caffeine ever for this guy!

 

My caffeine intake comes from animal rage. Which I'm still giving an A+ rating

 

I've never tried it I'll look into it now though!

 

I only drink the Blood of my enemies....It does a body good.
