Yeah, I knew several people that were juicing, including my two workout partners.
The biggest difference I noticed was the amount of energy they had.
I would do a set at about 85% of a weight for max reps and I would be pretty much toast.
They, on the other hand, could do two more sets at 85% max and really lose nothing. Then, the next day they'd be right back at the gym lifting heavy.
I would be on the couch cursing them because I was too sore to get up to go to the bathroom.

my roommate is huge on lifting, power lifting, ct fletcher, jay cutler type stuff. he will do a workout and stop midway and ill think he's done, then hell pound out 10 more reps, its crazy. he takes every supplement there is to get bigger, has pre workout drinks, during drinks, post drinks, then theres the protein intake. i just don't want to be that big or strong that bad..

Crazy. I used to know people like that. I've never really been a supplement kinda-guy (believe it or not). I took creatine years ago, tried NO2 once. But now just protein and a Power Bar before workouts.

theres a couple dudes at my gym that are just monsters, they cant even wear normal shirts. they have ripped up tank tops. good for them. thats a lot of dedication but yeah...i have zero desire to be that big/strong. im not going to be lifting VW beetles anytime soon.

dam..you dudes are all strong as shi*...im no where near those numbers. i thought i was doing good when i finally broke down that 400lb barrier on leg press and 200lbs on squat..now i feel like a wuss

[MENTION=55855]zopperman[/MENTION] i went to the gym today and did dumbbell press just for you, i worked up to 70's for 3 reps, if i had a spotter its possible i could have done more

I love creatine. I don't eat meat so it's hard for me to get it naturally and to get protein.

I take C4 and Kre Alkalyn and a protein shake. Creatine is gonna be awesome for me when my hand heals up

it burns man, i only do out tho, my hips rotate inwards naturally so im trying to combat that(i got knock knee), they are way better now with all the mobility work i do. sucks because its the most unattractive look you can get as a man, its cool when girls get it, they actually look good.

 

[t4r4life]

your hips and outter glutes

 

[t4r4life]

most guys in the gyms don't even bother, cuz they think it looks gay, whatever man F the haters

 

[leftyguns21]

for me works that inside thigh and my hips. sore as F after first couple times using it since i wasnt used to it. i do 3*20. theres an abductor and inductor(?) i do both

Have you tried NO2? It worked well for me.

Ive tried them all, NO ones arginine ones etc and c4 kicks the crap out of everything. It makes my face feel like its going to explode and I just want to rage on everything and it's awesome.

I cant wait to get back to the gym. I hate to say it though, it's been good for me to cycle out for a while I think, my body needed a little break and so did my mind. I've been drowning in school work this semester and I really needed to focus and lifting 5 days a week wasnt helping, but the semester is starting to slow down after next week and i *should* be freed of my hardware on Monday. sh!t is gonna hurt when they yank the pins out

thats funny cause the reason i decided to never use the pre workout stuff is because it made my entire face tingle and i hated that lol

Yeah, a break is always a good thing. Allows you to get hungry again.

I'd leave the hardware in- you have a built in lifting strap! Hook the bar or handle on to the hooks and pull!

Got my pins out today. feels really weird, i cant move my pinky

 

[WillK]

Nice! Heck, if all you needed were the pins out, you shoulda came to me.
I got needle nose, rubbing alcohol and a band aid....:biggrin2:

Congrats man. Take it slow. I never had pins, but broke my wrist and my muscles were soo weak when I got the cast off.
