i hope you didn't start with a $$$$ base. did the micro-brew once or twice, it was drinkable, but took too long. can make a kick ass maraschino cherry liquor (cherry moonshine) that I almost killed myself on.

you sound like an ectomorphic body type. Hard to gain muscle right? gotta work on nutrition (you'll get tired of eating). lean protein, (labrada, eas, twinlab shakes) especially after a heavy workout. supplements will help. NiOx helps with vascularity, cr
-Mangangali (7Q / 4712A) Thu Sep 4, 2008 1:12pm

weights for mass, cardio/ calisthenics for leaning out.
-Mangangali (7Q / 4712A) Thu Sep 4, 2008 1:16pm

(To Mangangali)
creatine for muscle building and l glutamine/dextrose so your muscles don't canibalize themselves.
Natural way is learn protein and calories, lift heavy weights for strength or mass. gotta tear it (micro tears, not injure yourself) so you can build mass.
-Mangangali (7Q / 4712A) Thu Sep 4, 2008 1:13pm


go to gym 2-4 times per week; generally ~30 mins cardio, 10-15 mins weights (I like classes like cardio kickboxing and body sculping and such b/c keeps my interest much better than bike, eliptical, etc.)
-meowdoc (18Q / 357A) Thu Sep 4, 2008 8:05pm


After work regimen: open case of beer, open beer, lift to mouth, repeat. Once in awhile I walk to the bar and lift mixed drinks instead. Bonus: continuous trips to the bathroom.

a bunch when husband was in hospital 48 hrs for copperhead bite on arm. I don't remember the figure, but I do know they gave us a pretty good discount for just going ahead and paying it outright rather than payment plan.

FWIW you can always just get the board you want, and get someone local to print your graphics and attach. Or get someone to airbrush it.
