they're called boxer's fracture for a reason. sorry to see it, mine still gives me pain 10 plus years later. esp at the gym on a bench press. mine broke in the same spot yours did and it's now a weak link.

thank God mine's never gave me pain after it healed up..

did you drink 20oz or more of water with it.. i at first didnt see much difference. then after doing a lil research found out you must drink plenty of water with it to work.. i then did so and have since had great results.

hmmm i usually just drink a shaker cup pre workout and then drink another one during, do you have to chug 20 oz before working out for it to work?

yes, i dont remember the science behind it, but you need to drink at least 20oz water with it 30 min prior to workout for it to work. and aren't supposed to eat 90 min before workout.. its a little tempramental.

i hopped off all stimulants supps now, i find it pump you up too much and makes you work too hard thus weaken you CNS and makes you only have 1 good day outta the week versus 5 good days when you just take non stimulant and have good rest.

i take hemavol, creatine, and protein, as well as fishoil and a daily..
i agree it makes you work out hard, i just have to remember to keep it to around 45 min and i only workout 3 days a week since im training for hypertrophy.

[MENTION=47554]t4r4life[/MENTION] - I didn't read up on the thread but how did IF work for you? I follow it really loosely. Like on*some days I break my fast early.

*gasp* a woman that loves 4runners and lifts weights too!! I know I am shocking people right and left now, huh? [MENTION=75725]OffRoadGuy[/MENTION]

thats a good list of supps man, good for the muscle good for the body. some bcaa would help with muscle endurance too if you are into that

it worked real good for losing weight but it sucked for packing on muscle, so i ditched the short window IF, now my window is 9 hours long so im pretty much not IFing anymore lol

Not a knock, just a question, but do you guys see results from the supps you take. I can understand protein, omega's and vitamins, but what about the cell volumizers?

I think it would be just water weight.

Again, just a question- no flaming anyone for their choices...

The other thing, I know this is a workout thread, but is anyone juicing?
Not THAT kind of juicing, but juicing with a juicer. We started and it seems to help. I'm thinking of doing a 5 day "cleanse" with it, but I like food way too much...

there is no magical supps that make your muscle bigger other than steroids. but there are supps that are proven to help performance, citrulline malate reduce lactic acid build up, BCAA reduce catabolic effect of muscle, caffeine increase performance and endurance, creatine increase blood flow and oxygen in muscle, beta alanine increases performance by blocking metabolic waste made by muscle.

I tried it for a 5 day cleanse felt great, i do it at least once a year now.

lol I don't use steroids and I am not trying to look manly. I don't bench heavy, my focus is my booty and legs, so I do lots of lower body heavy lifting!
