I just wanna say, baked sweet potato fries are the bomb!

Slice up a sweet potato in fries shape. Put them into a bowl and lightly toss them in some EVOO, sea salt and pepper. For other flavors you can add cumin or cinnamon too. Bake at 450 for 20 minutes and enjoy an amazing healthy treat!!

BA you're really winning the internet today :)

Buncha haters. Donnie just knows because his schedule is so swamped the next few months he's going to end up the fat guy in our relationship now. :happy175:

You agree with him again today I will ban you for the rest of the day. Don't encourage him! :p: :Wedgie:

LOL der Fuhrer has spoken :)

In your dreams Veggie Man, I am still working out even though my schedule sucks donkey dick.

going to try and squeeze in one more cardio day a week. I'm only doing it 4 days a week after lifting but I'm wanting to fit in one more day. Damn my schedule sucks right now.

I love CT Fletcher. lol

Steroids are awesome

Nothing works unless you do.

This week is my first week back in the gym in 3 weeks. Everything is so heavy.... and I am so sore

Sissy. lol

Speaking of, I need to come in town so you can take me to lunch that you owe me :D

And doing steroids is the reason he is that big. I'm not saying he doesn't work hard but he wouldn't be near that size without the juice

I hope you like tofu...

Juice doesn't make you big. It speeds up recovery. Big misconception. You could take steroids without lifting and it wouldn't do anything for you. You have to lift heavy and frequently in order to get "big".

Holy fuck I'm done with this thread. Your worse than Dominic these days. You've been dieting for 6 months and working out so now all of a sudden your a fucking expert on everything. Damn everybody else has been annoyed for a long time and I finally got there. Your right about everything Steve, you are the all knowing Steve and how dare we say anything.

It's called studying/research numbnuts. Why do you take it as an argument? It's a discussion. Lighten the fuck up. lol

Did you just tell me to go fuck myself?

LMAO!!!! this is the best post in this thread :D

Oh it does something for you alright, it makes you fat if you don't workout while on it.

LMAO!

Don't encourage him being grumpy.

I haven't heard that.

Something for consideration on whether or not steroids makes you big. I've read that without proper cycling, it will make your fingers and jaws larger. Considering you use those pretty frequently throughout the day especially moreso than anything else you use, I think it's safe to say that steroids does make you bigger. You don't need to recover from chewing, speaking, or typing. Just sayin.

Had a friend use it and decided to be lazy and not workout, he got fat. Think about it, being on that kind of stuff makes you hungry all the damn time, which is part of the reason you get big cause you're taking in so many calories. Well, he ate more and didn't work out so he got fat

I almost took steroids years ago, but my wife didn't want me to for health reasons. I almost did it behind her back but realized that was probably a bad idea.

I haven't researched steroids. Not interested at all. I see why they are worth the hyp but, not for me.

I think it, as with any type of supplement, that it has to do with many more factors than just taking it. As you stated, he didn't workout. Also could have to do with his cycling method. What type of steroid he was taking etc. Most people that I see that claim to take steroids are RIPPED, so gaining fat just from taking steroids doesn't add up to me.

-Alex

I want to, but I'm a big 'ol pussy when it comes to needles. Safe to say I will never be a heroin addict


I do want to try some over the counter shit though, but then comes the problem of me being a big cheap ass. My brother did a bottle of Dragon, shit works pretty damn good

With the health issues you have had the last few years its a good thing you didnt do it. That may have really complicated things for you.

My brother had a high school football buddy who took steroids. He ended up dying at 35 years old from an enlarged heart due to direct result of taking steroids.

Im 6'2 210. Just need a lil more muscle mass and less taco bell. Lol

Yeah steriods are NO joke. You really have to know what you're doing and stay on top of everything. It's illegal for a reason and there really isn't a "safe" way to monitor everything I'd stay away.

I found a vegan bodybuilder for you Steve. Watch this video it will give you motivation

https://www.yahoo.com/food/so-a-come...115124293.html

Donnie, im gonna take your advice and try to weigh myself only once a week for awhile to see how it works out. Maybe i will stop stressin over this shit. Lol

You must not have watched the video. The guy is a buck 30 soak and wet

"Reader Question: Josh and Joel, if my goal is fatloss, when should I be eating carbs? Or should I be avoiding carbs altogether? Thank you!

-Mary S., New York

Josh & Joel's Response: Hi Mary! Thanks for your question. Carb consumption is a topic that many folks are indeed confused about, so we're happy to clear up the "if" and "when" surrounding your carb intake.

First, NO, you definitely shouldn't be avoiding carbs altogether as there simply ;isn't any good reason to do so. With the right approach, you can enjoy carbs and still drop flab; in fact, eating carbs can even speed your fatloss along when done strategically, which leads us right in to the second part of your question -- WHEN should you eat carbs?

Well, there are actually TWO times of day in which carbs are an ideal choice. The first time is in the morning hours. After an overnight fast your internal carbohydrate stores (known as glycogen) will be somewhat depleted, so carbs eaten in the morning are less likely to spill over into fat storage. Not only that, but research shows that carbohydrate tolerance and insulin sensitivity are highest in the morning and only get worse as the day progresses. So, if you want a flat belly, eat carbs in the morning and avoid carbs in the evening, especially in the late evening hours.

The second "best" time to eat carbs is after a workout. The only time that insulin sensitivity and carb tolerance is higher than in the morning is immediately following a workout. So, choosing carbs after an intense exercise session is a great way to refuel your energy stores while avoiding fat storage."
