Too many unknown variables:

Your diet
Body Fat %
Cardio routine
Weight lifting routine



I just buy protein at Costco and eat healthy food.

If by getting cut, you mean a six pack, I think supplements are much less important than your diet and workout routines.

cardio routine-mauy thai boxing mon-weds-fri 1-2 hrs a day (just started a week ago)

weight lifting- 2 days a week nothing major tho

tricep extentions
leg extentions

I don't think 2,000 calories is nearly enough for someone who does kickboxing and weight lifting! You will probably be very tired that way and not have enough nutrients to build muscle.

If you wanna build muscle you need more energy to work out. Looks like you've been at it two weeks and like your results...keep at it then. When I was lifting regularly I was eating significantly more than 2000 calories a day and losing body fat.

I havent had any results for 5 classes lol Im just interested to see if there is anything that will increase my results. Or maybe give me more energy without going up in my calorie count too much. I know xyience makes xelerate wich is good for energy and metabolism. heres the link

im guessing ur a new mma fan, hence the mt and the xyience. i guess the guys at ufc marketed it right then.

xyience is just supplements marketed well, or rather to that demographic. go to any gnc or health store and ask them.

the key is to train consistent, at least 4 times a week (being fit was never meant to be easy, and it will take up a lot of ur lifestyle, thats why they call it a lifestyle change, so forget about having late night drinking sessions)

weight sessions are also good, and diet is the key. there r a lot of weight loss products out there.

as far as the xyience energy drink goes, isnt it like a red bull? energy drink with taurine/ guarana
