Default workout people in here.

So i have been working out and i just do it to stay in shape i dont try to be a monster as i am already a big guy at 6'1 215 pounds. I have been taking GNC's "Thermo Boost" to get extra energy and turn up my matabolism to burn more caliors and help keep my weight down.

So my question is does anyone have any susgestions on a suplement that gives more energy and burns calories? i need to buy a new bottle and wanted to see if there is anything better out there that doesnt cost and arm and a leg.

thanks.

When I work I take Muscle Builder protein supplement by Weider and Creatine Monohydrate. This stuff is used to add muscle though.

adding muscle isnt the problem. I just need something that helps burn more calories. I just was at GNC and talked to the guy there he said there thermo boost is just like the new Hydrxycut Hardcore which does the same thing. So i think i am gonna stick with GNC's as its only $22 with my gold card and has been good ot me so far.

Hey anyone here use there protein shakes as well? i just got some last month and i used to take "muscle milk" and that stuff tasted soooo good. But man does the GNC kind taste like crap. Works well to keep me from being sore and build up muscle but damn its gross tasting stuff. wish there was something better tasting that was cheap like it.

When I was working out I tried multiple different things, creatine, andriostine, and a lot of other GNC stuff. The absolute most result proving thing I found was Amino Acid pills. Went from Benching 225 to 365 very quick, and i noticed I either lost some fat or it turned to muscle a lot quicker than any of the other stuff I tried.

If I ever get the time to get back into working out, I'll be taking them again.



BTW: strong reccomendation, don't do andriostine, that **** makes you crazy, I got in a punching match with a chain link fence.......not good..

The Muscle Builder by Weider is a protein shake. But with all protein shakes you have to work out with them or they will make you FAT!

During football all i take is Glutamine from GNC, but during off season i take the thermo burst before i work out creatine (unflavored) and glutamine (unflavored) in a Gatorade after i work out. And i used to take the Soy and Whey protein mix(vanilla flavored) from GNC,but it tastes like crap so i quit taking it. Oh and i take GNC's Mega Men Sport Multi-vitamin everyday.

whenever i take my protein shake, i add a whole banana, and a thing of strawberry yogurt. i think the banana really makes it taste a hell of a lot better. this might not be what you're looking for though because i also do it to try and add more calories to my diet.

I take Xyience NOX-CG3 and thats the only thing I take. I already have a high motabolism and pretty good energy. Results are GREAT and you can pick up 780 grams on ebay for like 60 bucks. It also tastes decent. Its a nitro/creatine supplement for increased muscle, reduced downtime, and energy.

Thanks for the pointers guys but you all kinda got side tracked on muscle gain for some reason lol. I am gonna get the big bottle of thermo boost and keep with that, it seems to work well for me in giving extra energy and helping burn more caloires. Thanks guys.

yeah i said that in my first post lol but thats ok.Thats why i was like wtf are they all talking about weight gainers for? any hoot, I dont need to lose 15 lbs i am by no means heavy. That sounds a bit to hardcore for what i need. But if the price is right i might give it a shot. for 30buck for a large bottle of the GNC kind its hard to beat that stuff as it lasts me about 2-3 months per bottle. but i will check it out tomarrow thanks for the heads up.
