You're stupid if you purchase any form of powder believing it'll help you
How could the above have been understood as the below? :dontknow:
If you work out 7 times or more a week then it's a good idea.

I've been working out for a while now, but I only do it 2-3 times a week. Is the powder nutrition still a good idéa or do I have to, as Oli says, train more times a week to get any results?

"Powder" nutrition is always a good idea post workout. Or, as mentioned, go and eat 3 or 4 cans of tuna. Whatever you feel more comfortable doing.

Working out 7 days a week is a bad idea. You'll hurt yourself if you aren't careful. I came down with wrist splints, as i call them, because of improper technique and intense working out for 6 days a week. I took a month off from the gym, but I'm back at it. Now i keep it around 5 days a week, and on the days off maintain a good cardio workout, though you should have cardio 5 times a week as well. One day of the week must be a rest day. The rest day is essential or you'll burn out quickly. Don't think usuing wrist guards or gloves are for pussies; for some reason a lot of people think this. They can really help your technique and prevent wrist injuries, as well as give you much better grip on weights.

Mike, it depends on what kind of results you want. Do you want to get "huge"? Or do you simply want to maintain your weight and muscle size? To get "huge", your workouts shouldnt last more than an hour of weights a day. Lift heavy, but if you are doing over 8 reps you aren't pushing your muscles to thier limits. Always stretch for 20 minutes before and after to prevent injury as well.

To maintain, make sure you are using light weights and doing plenty of repetitions. I'm sure most people arleady know this. But whatever you are trying to achieve, make sure you keep your diet right and full of protein. After working out is the key period, when your muscles are "thirsty."

Did you benchpress 4-5 times a week or did you it once a week? How is/should a nice looking schedual be?

I'm having a hard time being able doing the gym 4-5 times a week. 2-3 is my max I can do.

I'll give the powder a try, seeing as big is what I want to get.

When you say it like that it sounds as if you know something about the subject. Elite put out some own experience stuffs making him trustworthy. What do you have to back yourself up? Or is it just something you believe?

the powder elite used is not good for your body, not because of the protein but because of the creatine. try taking only protein, but remember you dont have to take any protein shakes or something like that, water is enough

creatine

Healthy if utilized correctly.

Water isn't always enough.

Mike, you may want to take your question to a weightlifting/strength training forum too.

Have you ever eaten fish? You've had creatine. I don't want to get rude but are you all stupid? You may not want to eat any food then, totalfootball10, because you might get obese. How do you not get obese? By controlling the way you eat. How do you properly intake protein, creatine, glutamine, etc.? By consuming the proper amount. Don't be so ignorant. I'm not sitting here talking about anabolic steroids. I'm talking about protien and creatine, supplements that your body need in order to maximize muscle building capacity. Don't be a fucking idiot. If you don't want to use protien powder because it will kill you, then you shouldn't eat peanut butter, tuna, turkey, sardines, milk, eggs, etc. They have protein in them and they might harm you :rolleyes:

Mike let every muscle rest 48 hours before you work it out next time. It's about katabol and anabol faces which are both important for the muscles. The anabol face is when you work the muscle out and the katabol is when it rests, your muscle needs both to get stronger and the katabol face should be 48 hours clocking from the hour you stop working the muscle out. Also you might want to consider working out more than your upper body because you generate muscle cells when you work out all parts and that doesn't only help the parts that are worked out but the whole body. 

Power
Honestly I shouldn't talk about it that much because I myself don't know about it fully certainly, but, I've hade tips from experts who said it isn't the best idea unless you work out very seriously, eat correctly and keep up with that. So that you don't start with the powder then have a mood swing and quitting.

Has anyone tried it?
