Heya! No, I don’t compete, but lifting has been a big part of my life over these past six years or so. I usually hit up Orient, though recently I have been going to this great little place that is actually a converted wearhouse. There are a few weight machines, a lot of racks and benches and LOADS of free weights and plates. A real lifters gym… not a treadmill to be seen lol! Only thing is that its hot as hell in there!
I can’t say that I disagree with you on anything you posted, because as i’m sure you already know, different things work for different people. For example, I stand by my scoop of ON Casein before bed. Gives me a steady flow of amino acids, BCAAs, Glutamine and protein to my muscles throughout the 8-9 hours I am asleep. Since I have started taking it, I have stopped waking up hungry and have noticed a difference in recovery times. Though I am sure some tasty beef would keep me full as well! haha!
I guess the thing about me is that I really don’t like eating, never have. Not that you would know looking at me (175cm and a cut 98kg this summer). Not huge, but not small. Even though I do get my target macros in every day, it is a struggle. If only there were a single pill that delivered everything we needed lol!
