I stayed for 1 year with fitness 1st(makati)... Lost alot of extra luggage.
Mainly, cardio workouts ko... konti free weight pero fav ko is resistance training and gym ball work outs.

True, hassle free "passports". Any branch you're nearby pwede access, been to ABS-CBN, Libis and Alabang too. "Rome was not built in one day." that's my favorite. Cardios, konting free weight and Body pump tapos SPA!....sarap Have you tried cosmic cycling?

Madali ako tamarin sa gym, 1 month pa lang absent na Fortunately, konting buhat lang, madali ako tubuan ng muscle. Nakaktamad lang mag weights Mas gusto nalang sumabay sa training ng local triathletes dito. At least outdoor, and kukulitin ka, pag tatamad tamad ka

(but why go for spinning and cardios if you've got the real thing here during nyt ryds, xcs and dhs? hehe) Going to the gym 3 times a week. Do free weights and machine just to stay fit (1 hour). I used 65 to 75% of max power 3 sets of 12 each exercise. I do leg press, squats, backs, shoulder, culves, etc). I'm doing spinning twice a week (using roller at home) since the weather is really bad. Spinning is excellent for recovery and intervals. After an long rides the body needs to recover. This is good if you preapering for upcoming races.

Going to the gym is better than doing at home. Is kind of boring sa bahay kong minsan cause no motivation. I have trademill and Bowflex but rearly use. I used the trademill just for emergency and no need to drive.

Korteng sponge bob? Di problema ni feline yan, she's Laaarraa Croft Seriously, how do you guys take that diet Whey protein, egg whites?!, skinless chicken? Ganyan din lasa ng food sa bilibid I guess thats my problem , walang disiplina sa pagkain I took creatine for a while, you do gain muscles , pero I stopped takin it kasi wala daw effect sa endurance

Kaya recommended that it is taken prior to weight training.

Kaya recommended that it is taken prior to weight training. i beg to differ, the science behind creatine is that of creating a "pool" of creatine in your body which in turn is used by our bodies to create adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). that's why there's a loading phase to creatine because you have to push more creatine into your cells and that only happens over time. its best taken post work-out with a high carb/ low acid (like grape juice...not orange) drink to replenish energy stores (thats the carb part) and cell stores (thats the creatine part). some creatine manufacturers suggest taking it pre-workout but in reality its the high sugar that gives you those "surges". spent alot of time with with a nutritionist who's a friend of the doctor of the philippine bodybuilders and powerlifters and this was the advise he gave me when i was doing research when i was first starting out in the business of food and sports nutrition supplements

Hmmm.... vey interesting. Well, I know creatine does give off a phosphate group to ADP which is turned in ATP and does fend off lactic build up( tama ba?) What I did'nt know is that you actually have to create a "pool". Thinking about it does somehow make sense and then again, di ba the excretion rate is relative to the amount of intake of creatine? So, how do you go about it? gwm, Do you have literature for NOS? PM mo naman sa akin. Unfortunately, I can't take protein or creatine suppliments kasi I had a history of kidney disease (just playing safe) so I'm also on the look out for other alternatives.

I dont lift weights anymore ( mabilis ako lumaki at bumigat ) Pero if I were to, I'd use the creatine The month I took creatine I gained 5lbs and lumaki muscles , I just dont know if it's because of the water retention

Unfortunately, I can't take protein or creatine suppliments kasi I had a history of kidney disease (just playing safe) so I'm also on the look out for other alternatives. Your question on NOS got me curious and i found out the following info. NOS suplements promotes muscle growth, increases strength, speeds up muscle recovery and helps sustain long lasting muscular blood flow. This suplement contains a compound called arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) to boost Nitric Oxide levels in skeletal muscle. During work-outs nitric oxide production can help support circulation and muscles since Nitric oxide is the muscle's "cell-signaling" molecule responsible for blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, and muscle growth. I personally havent tried it yet but these are usually coupled with Glutamine (Glutamine NOS, MetRx) or in capsule or tablet form NOS. I used to try out creatine but did not finish it all up since i'm concerned of the additoinal water retention it gives out, not wanting any of that -- I now am sticking with whey protein since i try to fill up my protein requirement of 1g per bodywt. I end up using it as a post work-out shake at times na lang though.

Unfortunately, I can't take protein or creatine suppliments kasi I had a history of kidney disease (just playing safe) so I'm also on the look out for other alternatives. just so we're all clear on this the NOS we're talking about is NO2 (or nitric oxide) right? i can get you the book on NO2 i'll pm you the name and price when i get my hands on it, the guy who wrote it is ed byrd. the guy behind the original creatine "phosphagen" by a company called EAS (you may have seen this brand at the local gnc). to address some creatine concerns: yep, creatine makes you bigger... because you retain more water! creatine is flooded into your cells through water so you make a bigger "pool" of creatine by retaining more water in the body. another thing to watch out for when taking creatine is the high sugar (mostly dextrose) content of some creatine powders, that if not burned, can be stored as fat ( @#$%! ) creatine need not be cycled. you can take it as long as you want to. if you go past 10g creatine a day guess what you're literally pissing away hard earned cash (its water soluble remember?) ;D ...NOW ABOUT NO2... NO2 is seen as primarily as a vasodilator. this thing is supposed to open up your veins and let more blood flow in and out of your muscles and increase circulation. if you're a lifting weights then thats a very GOOD thing. more blood flowing through your muscles translates to an increased "PUMP". more blood to the muscles means more oxygen is pumped in there making room for less lactic acid which translates to longer workouts because you don't fatigue as easily. guess what... you get to lift more too. i've personally used this before and i can attest to what they call a "perpetual pump" its when your body looks like it just came from a workout 24/7 because you've got great circulation and every muscle looks like it just finished a set of intense ecercise... i ain't kidding!!! ...now the downside of NO2... NO2 is a supplement that MUST BE CYCLED!!!key component of NO2 is the amino acid arginine... if taken too much too long can cause (AND THIS IS DISGUSTING) HERPES!!! so if you're thinking about taking a supplement with NO2 keep a schedule and stick to it... so far everybody who i have known to take it is very strict about that schedule coz they're scared of the potential side effect if they make a mistake. but of the countless people i've sold it to, nobody yet has ever come to me complaining about a herpes infection... well i certainly don't wanna wait for 1 anything else?

I end up using it as a post work-out shake at times na lang though. guess what... that's the right time to drink whey!. but if thy tell you that you're supposed to drink whey right after working out...WRONG! proper supplementation of whey protein is about 45-60 mins after training. the things that would help as a post work out shake after a work out would include only 4 things: 1) creatine (if you take it) 2) Glutamine (the only amino acid that is responsible for muscle repair/ recovery) 3) taurine... acts as a catalyst for both creatine and glutamine 4) carbs (its like getting a refill when you're fuels low). working out in the gym with weights is essentially ripping appart your muscles so that it will repair itself to tolerate the kind of stress you're going to put it through the next time around. that explains muscles getting bigger when you lift heavy... thats your body trying to compensate for the stress that muscle group goes through by "reinforcing" itself with more muscle... the more muscle there is... the more stress it can take... the harder they are to rip apart... that forces you to lift heavier to get bigger take in the protein when you've given you're body time to heal/recover. that way you use all those amino acids to help "rebuild" muscle instead of "recover" ...proper nutrition is half the equation

"abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym" so they say.
