Questions w/ No-Xplode, Cellmass, On 100% whey..

[Glockwork3]

Hey i just started running about 3 weeks ago everyday for 20 min. at a dead run not a jog, with a 2 min warm-up and 5 minute cool-down. So before someone posts "thats too much" i know it probably is but i really wanna lose this weight im tired of being (bigger) im not really that "FAT" i guess lol.

ne ways onto the ?'s

So last year i took On 100% whey SOMETIMES after my workout, no-xplode for maybe a month, and sometimes cellmass after i was done w/ my work out, it was a 10 lb bag of protein so i have a bunch left, my cellmass and no-xplode are now about 1/3 full.

so heres how a day of supps looks for me, (btw i workout mon-fri, weekends off---and i run every day)

1.Morning Protein shake (all my shakes are with water and 2 scoops 48g of protein)

2. i have lunch, then during 5th hour (highschool) i take no-xplode but its kinda hard to get it consistantly down at the same time becuase our school only allows water in classrooms so i have to sneak it, so sometimes its only about 10 min. before working out. So i take that then work out, at the end of the lifting period i take cellmass (1 scoop) then down my protein shake before 7th hour.

3. Run around 9:00 or 9:30 if i have work, then take another protein shake. Idk if im doing too much or not enough? i also heard that you should take 1 scoop of cellmass TWICE a day to keep up the creatine levels, has anyone proven this?


**my meals,
1.breakfast usually just my shake, and perhaps toast w/ peanut butter on it

2.sometimes a snack an hour before lunch a nutrigrain bar or something

3.lunch-whatever the school has its not too good for you, bu ti dont get extras or crap food.

4. maybe an orange after school then dinner, my mom makes it or i get subway so its pretty good

5. maybe another fruit or something like toast and peanut butter an hour before bed.

Please post your crits or thoughts on this THANK YOU!

that fruit/toast/peanut butter you could definitley do without. Try not to have carbs at night. Make sure your workout routine is good. As far as running when you say 'dead run' how hard are you pushing yourself. Intensity is key and HIIT would be something to look into.

I understand your wanting to lose the gut but i still have to say running at full tilt for 20 minutes just isnt necessary. It looks to me like its probably your diet thats holding you back. More protein, less carbs especially later in the day and the carbs you do eat should be low GI(glycemic index-google it). Something like this would be better.

meal1 shake, 2 eggs, whole wheat toast
meal2 tuna sandwich, fruit
meal3 chicken breast, vegetables
meal4 subway sub on wheat bread
meal5 dinner-meat, veggies
meal6 before bed-lowfat cottage cheese, shake

Couple that diet with cardio 3-4 times a week and youll be on your way. For cardio you dont have to kill yourself. 30-45 mins on the treadmill or elliptical with your heart rate in the 130ish range is plenty. Thats basically a brisk walk. Weights would be a nice addition too if you dont already lift. Lose the noxplode unless you lift and then you only really need to use it b4 workouts.
These are just some ideas to get you going but to go into more depth would require more info like your training goals, current stats, etc..

Well ok, heres the stats

age-17 *just turned*
height-5'11
weight-170-175... i fluxuate
bf%-16-18

goals, look lean, i had a bit of excess fat and my gut is the worst..

ALSO thanks for the replies and mitch heres the only problems with your meal idea...

meal1 shake, 2 eggs, whole wheat toast
--I could do this just 1 peice of bread with nothing on it right?

meal 2tuna sandwich, fruit
-- second meal is at lunch at Highschool, so i pretty much eat what they give me...

meal 3 chicken breast,vegetables
--would probably be my after school/dinner which would probably be that subway on wheat which is what i already get...
^meal 4 subway sub on wheat bread^

--Meal 5 by now it owuld only be a snack and i probably wouldnt even be hungry... it would be something like an orange instead of "dinner" with meat since i pretty much already had my larger meal *dinner* subway or whatever meat my mom cooked

meal6 before bed-lowfat cottage cheese, shake
--i cringe at the taste and texture of cottage cheese... i take a shake every night, anything i could replace the cottage cheese with? or should i just take the shake?

You dont have to follow that to a T as it was just a suggested plan but i would try to stick with those types of foods. Id say based on your weight you should be aiming for about 2000 calories a day split as evenly as possible into 5-6 meals. Take food with you to school if all they serve is junk. Stay away from carbs late in the day, eat lots of protein, no fried foods as theyre just all fat and a waste of calories, and if you dont like cottage cheese just do the shake before bed. Heres a good list of foods to choose from.

Lean meats- fish, tuna, chicken breast, lean cuts of steak, venison
Vegetables
whole grain breads
dairy-yogurt, skim milk, lowfat cottage cheese
Natural peanut butter
pasta- real pasta not chef boy ardee
fruits
oatmeal
eggs

ok, sounds good, anyone have any info on my supps/timing and if i should take cellmass twice a day?

[Glockwork3]

-Bump

[Glockwork3]

oook... well i guess i'll take it twice once in the morning and once after my workout... but i would really like some personal experience to back this up, but i gotta go hit the treadmill, i ran mon-thurs and i didnt run fri or sat and i had some candy yesterday and famous daves ribs and cornbread today oh well im gonna go run it off!

[bigk-78]

cellmass? well if so then idk, maybe a scoop b4 workout, then one rite after. days with no lifting then just one prbly early in the morn or so. thats what i did when i took it neways

[Glockwork3]

hmm idk bout the one before, i was thinking after (like i normally do) then one like 6 hours lat (or at night time) But i doubt (even if your supposed to) i would be able to get one in before workout, b/c im almost water logged because between when i wake up and up to 5th hour i've consumed about 2 or 3 20oz bottles of water (1 is solemny for my green tea pill i take before lunch) the other is just to be hydrated. So then halfway thru 5th hour i chug my noxplode (another 20 oz or a little less) then head to 6th hour (strength training aka lifting period) then after i chug cellmass (20 oz) then chug my protein (another 20 oz) so by about 4 pm i've consumed 120 oz of water maybe a little under, but i also dont drink a whole lot after school...
