Are prohormones legal in Canada?

They can be fun to take.

CC1GC · #**167** 03-14-2004, 10:22 PM

I don't think so.

Bumping up this thread since summer is basically here!

Does anyone know of any good exercises that work your hips? Or I guess you could call them love handles. I have an inch or so that I'd like to make disappear. I run pretty regularly, I do lots of abdominal work, and I eat pretty healthy. Nothing seems to work. Help. Please.

James · #**171** 05-10-2004, 11:35 AM

ITs just a factor of body fat sweetie. I think we chatted about this before. I would ask:

1. Do you eat every three hours and make sure you take protein each time?

2. Make sure you don't do a lot of excercises for the Obliques, it gives you muscular love handles.

3. Do you get a gallon of water a day?

4. Do you write down what you eat and drink, and what time you eat and drink them every day? Factoring in calories, protein etc?

Those are the simple keys. IF you are that close to where all you need to loe is a little hip fat then just getting a little stricter shoul do the trick.

But if you want a simple recomendation. Eat the same thing breakfst, lunch and dinner and make sure that meal is appropriate to your goals. That way you have a set menu which gives you almost absolute control.

Being even 5 percent off can be the difference between being flabby or ripped in a month.

Yes James, we have chatted about this before.

I was just hoping that by some miracle, someone actually knows of an exercise that makes this stubborn spot melt away. Thanks for your suggestions though. I'm in the process of making my meal plan over for the summertime to include the summer fruits and veggies.

James · #**173** 05-10-2004, 12:31 PM

Do 6 ounces of prime rib three times a day. And thats all.

Take 500mg of GLA an Essential Ftty Acid found in Borage oil or evening primrose.

Take 1500mg of DHA an EFA found in fish oil . .. make sure oyu get a pill that is 500mg of DHA per capsule, other wise you will be taking a lot of pills.

Take 1000mg of glutamine with each meal, it kills carb cravings.

Eliminate caffeine.

Take 2 grams of liquid creatine on weight training days.

Change your workout completely . . now.

Isn't creatine REALLY bad for your liver and other organs? Mr. ZTAngel had been taking it for a while until he read a study on it in one of his Medical journals that talked about the damaging effects of creatine.

So is alcohol, tobacco and many other things. Shit, stress is bad for your entire well being. Its all about sacrificing to get what you want.

Do you mean what "device", as in dumbells or curling bar, or what excercise? Personally, I like 50lb dumbells as opposed to the curling bar. They, dumbells, help get all the muscles. Its kind of like wanting to build up your chest. You can tell a HUGE difference when you take two dumbells and do a dumbell press as opposed to doing the bench press. The problem is once you get to a certain point you need more and more weight and then and only then would the bench press/culring bar be more usefull as opposed ot the dumbells.

UKDaisy · #**179** 06-20-2004, 10:06 PM

Okay, I recently have gained 5 lbs. But they somehow -instead of going to my butt, thighs, stomach - went to my chest!

Now I'm super happy about my chest size....but I'm worried about losing weight and losing them too. I would love to lose 10lbs....but that is going to be the first thing that goes, isn't it????

Edited to say: Sorry if this was already talked about. But this is a long thread.....

Wine&SilverBlue · #**180** 06-20-2004, 11:47 PM

here's a challenge for ya

I'm a pretty unique situation:

last summer I was diagnosed w/ a mild case of Crohns disease -- an auto-immune intestinal thing -- but basically I now cant eat things that are hard to digest (ex: popcorn, corn, nuts, most raw veggies, things w/ lots of seeds, fruit w/ skin is bad, etc)

so basically I'm on a carb/protein diet lol.. low on the veggies... my fav veggies used to be raw broccoli, corn, potatos cooked in every possible way, peas, etc... but i cant have corn or raw brocc anymore

and salad gives me a stomachache unless its in very small quantities.

i try to eat some fruit (raspberris, grapes, strawberries, etc) but the skins and seeds in large amounts prob isnt good for me :-\

I used to be in pretty good shape (I played varsity badminton for 4 years) but after spending a month in the hospital last summer I basically lost most of my muscle tone... and 20 lbs on my 115ish frame

right now im back to ~ 113 (I'm 5'4") which is about right but hardly any of it is muscle... (basically w/ crohns im never going to get FAT persay.. but I'm one of those people who is thin and looks alright but is not in good shape and doesnt really have much muscle) I really dont want to lose weight (I wouldnt mind gaining up to another 5lbs if it was muscle) but I want to get TONED and I want to get at least some muscle back...

what would you go about doing?

I work in NYC and walk like 10-15 blocks each way every day but I'm pretty lazy... I've done the treadmill (4mph for 30 min) once since ive been home, walked a decent amt (random places w/ friends) and tried to do some weight training but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.. and the highest free weights we have are 4lbs... I was thinkin about buying 8 lbs weights....

what advice do you have?

ps. I dont drink soda bc the bubbles mess w/ my stomach and I drink a lot of water.. and lemonade..
