    I've been thinking about giving that stuff a shot. Any side bad effects? What's the best flavor?

    Fish Oil. Everyone should be taking the stuff and it has Antidepressant properties. The EPA specifically. Make sure you get decent stuff though. Must have vitamin E in it.

    No bad side effects. I've tried about every flavor and Grape Bubblegum is the best.

    Its different than most pre-workout stuff because it doesn't have a bunch of "filler" ingredients. They kept it simple.

    I think CoQ10 was for high blood pressure? So it acts as an energizer too? I was gonna buy a bottle to try out to see if it would drop my BP a little bit. I've gone from Stage 1 Hypertension to Pre-Hypertension levels just by eating right, exercising, taking vitamins, & fish oil. Maybe CoQ10 will put me at healthy levels if I take it religiously.

    Will not that it was 6pm when I took it. If I want to really work my legs, it has to be at night. Will just use it during the day and use something else if I need a pick me up at night.

    I would consult with your doctor, but it sounds like you are already on the correct path. It is also supposed to help with Parkinson's and a few other medical problems. Cannot vouch that it does anything for them though.

    It was the Pro-N.O. from Costco. Second time using it after 6pm. Will probably be ok with just taking my Co Q10 for tonights workout.

    Ever workout without it? Did you get pretty dependent on it?

    I took some creatine in pill form for a while. Helped out some; nothing great though.

    I workout with out it every once in awhile. As soon as I run out I give myself a 2 to 3 week break from it. It helps so it doesn't lose its potency.

    All creatine does is help with water retention in your muscles, its a very overrated product. Jack3d has a good amount of creatine in it anyway.

    Another thing. Buy it online or at Vitamin Shoppe or Vitamin World. I rarely buy at GNC its a ripoff. You can find best deals online for sure.

    Yesterday, my friend, who isn't a blazer/nba fan, put on a belt and put weight on the belt to do dips for the first time. He had 25 pounds on the belt, dangling between his legs, and when he stood up and looked at us he said "so this is what it feels like to be Greg Oden".

    I proceeded to laugh my ass off.

    Hey guys figured I'd sign in for the first time in a while and contribute. Started working out about a month ago regularly (5x a week), I needed a lifestyle change and what better reason then after breaking up with the girlfriend?

    Anyways, started at about 179 on Oct. 13 and am now down to 167.6, as of this morning. I actually have been taking OxyElite Pro and it has definitely helped. It is a thermogenic, and I can really tell the difference in my energy levels while I work out, as well as how much I sweat.

    I'm only 5'6, so my goal when I started was to get down to 165-160. I'm almost at my first goal, but I want to continue to get down and finally get rid of this stomach. :)

    Currently my diet is looking like this (roughly):

    Breakfast: Bagel with PB or Bowl of Cereal
    Lunch: Leftover Dinner/ Something small
    Dinner: Rice/Tilapia or Wheat Spaghetti/Broccoli

    I'm just a college student and not a great cook, so I'm making what I have work. ;)

    Do you guys have any tips on getting rid of stomach fat?
