    Does the Thermogenic make warming up go better?

    What do you like for Creatine when you`re taking it? Are you not taking it all the time? (I`ve only cycled off it once in the last ~25years, and that didn`t last long as it *killed* my performance on Cardio.)

    That`d be wishful thinking hehe. I`m just really looking forward to that number starting with a 1 haha. Making progress. I`ve got a week vacation coming up at the end of June and I`ve set a goal to be at about 192 (which at the time i set the goal had me losing about 1.5 lbs/week). On track so far

    OK, that`s enough of a timeframe that it might not be too stressful. And yeah...I do get it about wanting the number to start with a "1"!

    I tried it for the first time yesterday and loved it. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical as a warm up and felt great. I remember thinking "I`m sweating a lot....oh yeah I took C4". Then as soon as I got off the machine I felt laser focused. The thermogenic is supposed to help with fat loss.

    This is my first time in the gym in over 5 years so I`ll need to do research when I`m ready for it. I`ve dieted and worked out in different way but this time I`m ready to be a gym rat again. I think it was just monohydrate I tried in the past.

    RaysWAy- Sounds like the Thermogenic is working for you, that`s gotta be a boost as you get back into this stuff.

    With the Creatine, I quit taking the Drink Mixes (the ones with flavors/sugar/etc. in `em) and switched to the plain Creatine Monohydrate (Optimum Nutrition brand) that we give the dogs. It`s supposedly "micronized" but you can`t prove it by how it is in suspension (gritty stuff..). Still, mixing it with a little grapejuice works just as well for me as the Drinks, which had *MUCH* more sugar and cost many times as much.

    Accumulator-

    It`s interesting how anti cardio Mentzer and his disciple Marcus Reinhart are. I`d forgotten about Marcus. Guess he`s still at it, was on his website last night. I mean to tell you he is MILITANTLY anti cardio. As in don`t do any. Sure, many probably over do it for fat loss and such, but to advocate never doing any? Seems extreme to me.

    I`ve gone to the gym 5 days out of 7 this week

    It was rough and getting all the rust off is annoying but I`m excited to break thru that point. Today will be a rest day....my body needs it.

    jrock645- Heh heh, anybody who dismisses Cardio loses some credibility with me. I mean..don`t all those studies, showing the same thing each time, matter?!? And my personal experiences with it are impossible to ignore.

    A few weeks without cardio impacts my cardiovascular fitness. Obviously, easily quantified. So that`s bad. End of story IMO. Why allow physical downgrading if it`s avoidable?

    Yeah, people sure do idolize some of those guys. Sigh...[certain comments deleted]. Mentzer got a lot of mileage out of some maybe-almost-correct verbiage (that some mistook for "genius") and/but for a student of Rand his writings are chock full of Logical Fallacies. Eh, I still learned TONS from reading his stuff and consider his input to the topic invaluable.

    ..As I keep saying, somebody says something interesting, research it. These days there aren`t too many genuine mysteries about this stuff, SO much as been figured out over the last few decades.

    I`ll be interested to hear if the Creatine Nitrate gives you anything that the Monohydrate didn`t.

    RaysWay- Gee, I *BET* you`re ready for an off day! Heh heh, five in a row is like two weeks` worth of exercise for me. Are you doing different stuff each time?

    I did back or "pull" workouts yesterday and after dead lifts I felt like I was running on fumes lol. So yes I`m happy today is rest day.

    This first week I just wanted to hit every body part to get the rust off. Back was yesterday, legs the day before, etc etc. I`ll do 20-30 minutes of cardio to warm up first.

    Be careful not to overdo it on deadlifts. Really easy to burn out on those

    Easy to have all sorts of unintended consequences from Deadlifts! A guy we know (my age) just can`t stop himself from doing `em and he messes himself up every time (eventually).

    I only do semi-stiff/Romanian style Deads, and only as an occasional/alternate hamstring exercise. I get the same effects by doing *incredibly light* Good Mornings, and I mean with baby-weights on the bar compared to a lot of guys. One set and my hams are SORE for days...that stretch works wonders even with minimal resistance.

    Sure not knocking Deads! Just not something I do, in part because I question my form and see no need for them *in my case*. Not about to learn a complex and tricky movement at my age, though I wish I *had* maybe 30 years ago.

    RaysWay- I do get the idea of whole-body for getting back into it, but !oh man! doing Legs and Back so close together is something!

    Glad to hear you do the warming up. I somehow do fine with just a couple very light sets of whatever my first movement is, but IMO most people oughta do infinitely more than I do.

    Heh heh, this is one of those "Do as I say, not..." posts

    Re: 2018 Health and Fitness Thread

    Hey, can we have a concensus on Chin Ups vs. Pull Ups?!? I`ve read conflicting versions of which is which since forever and generally just say "chins" and then specify what hand position I`m talking about- "Chins with a Pronated/Supinated/Neutral Grip".

    I`ll try to go along with whatever we come up with, but have always thought that Chins = Palms Down and Pullups = Palms Up.

    I do ~90% of mine with Down/Pronated and the others with a Neutral/parallel grip (sometimes with a pair of IronMind Rolling Thunders). I simply don`t do Up/Supinated even though there are some real pluses to that; they hurt me from my wrists to my shoulders, so No Thanks.

    So which will we say is which- Chins = Palms Up or Palms Down? Pullups = ?what?

    Chins with added weight (both plates and elastic bands) are *always* my first Back movement. I alternate between Body Perpendicular to floor vs. angled back at ~45°, usually one set of each,but sometimes just one or the other. Today is Back Day as soon as I log off here
