first off, wheres the "search" feature for the forum??

alrighty, onto my q's.

when i first started lifting last year, i took methyl masterdrol. i was really happy with what it did for me(with hardwork i went from 152 to 183), but, its no longer available.

i now just went off my first 6 week cycle with 4*AD and now im using arom-x. ive made some gains, but noting im too happy with. I do have another bottle of the 4*AD but im curious to know what others think, and if anyone has used the SuperMastervol. i was checking it out on massnutrition and it sounds good (just like everything else, it **sounds** good, ha)

this time around i also started taking a multi vitamin. (centrum). i havent noticed anything better or worse from taking it...should i continue?

i have a semi akward looking body right now. my nonexistant chest is starting to show signs of muscle finally, my arms are getting a little bigger, my shoulders are very cut when compared to the rest of my body, and ive can see two abs up top, and a pooch around my mid section and the dreaded love handles. i want to burn that off, i was looking at hydroxycut since some local guys said they liked it, but looking on this forum im starting to think i should stay away. what do you guys suggest to help aid in burning fat without breaking the bank?

Well let's see.

The Search feature is underneath the Login box.

There is more to burning fat than taking a fat burner- which I can tell you've noticed on your tuesday/thursday workouts.

Cardio and an extremely strict diet is how you're going to lose that body fat. Get a clean low carb diet going and results will come quicker than you know.

As far as your workout. You perform 5 workouts 3 times a week? That's very minimal weight training from what I can see. Have you seen results with that? If not then I would suggest a more organized 3-5 day split. Use that Search feature to find examples of ones, many people have given examples- including myself.

Take a protein also, anything of choice. Continue the Multi V as well.

Diet + Cardio + Specific training + proper supplementation = results you're looking for.

^Cosign completely.

Multi's aren't going to give you a feeling so to speak but your body will be happy that you are taking one, since most people cannot get all the vitamins and minerals from food on a daily basis.

If you want to lose fat faster do it every day for about 30-45 minutes after your workout. Or for ultra fast results do it in the AM on an empty stomach (drink 2 glasses of water only when you wake up) and then do 45-60 minutes of cardio, come home eat your breakfast and diet throughout the day. Then do your weight training routine whenever during the day and follow that with another cardio session afterwards. Since its so intense you really need to make sure you have a great diet in place to make sure you don't **** yourself up and do more damage then good.

As for dieting, aim to eat at least 6 times a day (if you need to use shakes to make sure you get at least 6 thats ok, but make sure you are eating at least 3 or 4 of the meals. Here's an example.

Wake Up: 1 Hour Cardio
Breakfast: 1 Cup egg whites, 1/2-1 cup oatmeal w/ protein powder, multivitamin, EFA's, BCAA's
MidMorning Snack: 35-40grams protein shake
Lunch: 2 Chicken Breasts, 1 Cup Brown Rice, Veggies, serving of BCAA's
MidAfternoon Snack: 35-40grams protein Shake
1 hour Preworkout: 35-40grams protein Shake
Preworkout: Preworkout supps if you take any, serving of BCAA's
Workout: Your routine here.
PostWorkout: 60grams protein & 60grams carbs (both fast digesting), serving of BCAA's
Dinner: Fish/Chicken/LeanSteak, 1/2 brown rice, veggies
Before Bed: Casein protein shake, serving of BCAA's

Just an example, its actually close to what I follow, I do make sure to get more carbs in my diet but they are all whole wheat products except for the post workout shake because it needs to be fast digesting in order to fuel up the muscles you just trained in order to start repair on them.

^Great bro! If you want to lose fat, try exercising in the morning. No food in your stomach so you'll be exercising on an empty stomach using stored fat and energy to get you going. This will ultimately help if it is convenient for you.

Also follow a diet, a similar if not the same as the one THG has given you. Low calorie or carb diets preferably.
