I've never had any problems with NOXplode, but everyone reacts differently. Also, once you spend the money on the supplements you feel guilty if you think about not going to the gym or think about cheating on your eating habits. It helps me stay committed otherwise its a waste of money.

 

i agree. p90x. It really has worked for me. It takes dedication. 1 hour a day, 6 days a week for 90 days. And a STRONG mental edge.

 

i use it for the ab ripper work out. only thing that iv ever done thats been able to give me somewhat of a 6 pack.
other then that, i have my own workouts i do. im more into bulking right now, rather then definately. besides the ab part

 

skip the noxplode. don't waste your money. The only supplement you should concern yourself with is protein, because A) it can be difficult to get the required amount from eating ordinary food (hence the term SUPPLEMENT.. as in, it supplements your diet, it doesn't replace anything) and B) you need fast absorbing protein post workout to feed your muscles.. the protein from most food is slow absorbing.

I drink a 50/50 whey/casein protein shake in the morning to supplement my breakfast, and a whey shake post workout.

You can get an ok workout using only dumbels. flat bench on your couch's foot rest if it's hard -- you need a strong base, standing military press, db deadlift, db squats, pullups on a tree branch, dips between two chairs. Thats pretty much all you need for now. If you want to look cool to people peeking in on you through your windows, you can do some curls.

Legs are THE MOST important muscle group that you need to work out. Whether you're trying to cut fat, or build mass in your upper body, you should be doing leg work.

You should really join a gym though.. mine is open 24 hours a day, and cost me $10/month. Traveling time is 20 minutes round trip, and I don't spend more than 45 minutes there ever.. You could make time for the gym. Don't lie.

I swear, please no one say the word tone, or I'll have to kill a bunny. Wtf does tone mean.. how do you build tone in a muscle? lifting high reps is some how going to alter the physical makeup of my muscles from mass molecules to tone molecules? ama... zing. Replace tone with muscle definition. The only way to get good definition is to cut fat. The only way to cut fat is to burn more calories than you consume. Your goal is to get good definition, so you want to burn fat while maintaining your current muscle mass. The best way to do this while eating a cloric deficit is to lift heavy, with low reps (3-8).

If you want some specifics, send me a pm.

 

I was a skinny lean kid going into the military, up until about 2004 when I got stationed in Portugal. With nothing better to do, I ventured into the gym and began my weighlifting journey.

First and foremost, your diet counts for about 60%, whereas the actual weightlifting and exercise covers the other 40%. You CANNOT expect to have a muscular/ tone body if you eat like crap. You could lift weigths all day, which will get you the size, but if your diet is bad, then you'll carry the fat along with it.

When you lift, stay within your means. Dont be an idiot and over-strain your muscles, take gradual increases in weight as you progress with your program. Keep your reps within 8-10, with sets of 3-5 per exercise. This has been IMO the best for both mass and definition. You could go super heavy, with low reps, if you want to look like a beefy tank, or low weight, high reps if you want to have an athletic tone build.

FORM FORM FORM! I cannot stress how important this is! Dont be that guy in the gym with the tight underarmor shirt who has to swing his whole body to do a standing arm curl. This is where using the correct weight comes in. You should be able to sufficiently lift weights where the last 7-10 reps puts a "maximum failure" load on the muscle. Dont follow the other geniuses in the gym and over exert yourself. You wont reap any benefits and can injure yourself.

Make sure you have a diet high in protein, low on waste carbs, and waste calories. Chicken, lean meats, protein shakes, egg whites (no yolks high in cholesterol)vegetables, and multi vitamins are your friends! Whole grain carbs are great for energy like whole wheat pasta, brown rice, etc.

Make sure you do a good amount of cardio, I would say 3 times a week about 25-30 minutes of running. This will help with your cardiovascular system as well as increase endurance and stamina. You will notice that you can sleep better at night, and when you exercise, will have much more energy.

All this with some dedication in the gym, eating right, and proper lifting...you're golden.

 

Scratch cardio. Replace with HIIT 2-3x/week. Better for burning fat. Better for maintaining muscle mass (high likelyhood you will burn muscle when doing cardio). Fits in with your goal better. Walk to your street. Jog for 3 minutes to warmup. sprint for 30 seconds, slow jog for 30 seconds, rinse, repeat 4-5 times session one, 5-6 times session two.. up to 15 minutes total session X. finish with 3 minute cool down of slow jog/brisk walk

 

$10/month... I really don't think there's such a cheap place around here. Leg is the main problem. Can't exercise legs with free weights. I've already ordered whey and noxplode. I'll give noxplod a try... hope it won't kill my health lol. I'm not sure for multivitamin, if I really need to order one from bodybuilding website or a normal multivitamin i have at my home. The normal ones seem very good too...

 

Yes you can exercise legs with free weights.. it's called squats.. you don't even need any weight. Squats are the most important exercise you need anyway. If a smart man could only do one lift the rest of his life, he would select the squat. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Gluteu...us/DBSquat.html do those. and these http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Gluteu...us/DBLunge.html and these http://www.criticalbench.com/exercis...l-deadlift.htm

done with legs.
