I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

Washboard abs are more a vanity thing, but good strong abs in general are a good thing to have, and something of a necessity when it comes to rock climbing.

I wouldn't imagine a proper bench would be all that expensive. Do you already have the weights? The weights would be the most expensive part of that investment...

No. I don't have weights or a bench... Nor do I really have anywhere to put them if I did.

Small condo FTW!

Re: I work out! (well not yet... but I need to)

Now that my protein powder finally expired, does anyone have any advice on where to buy from? For that matter... do you have any suggestions on where to buy ANY of my suppliments?

Creatine... post workout suppliments... protein... multivitimins... Amino Acids.

I'm looking for quality at a low cost. I lucked out when I went to CVS a few months back and they were running a buy 1 get 1 50% off sale in the suppliment department. I loaded up. Now that the sale is over... I'm really not willing to pay $25 for 2lbs when I know I can get 10lbs for $50 if I wait long enough.

I'm shelling out to build a stack for myself for the next 2 months. I really need to buckle down. My workouts are intense and I'm doing just fine in that department. Now I just need to make sure I'm not busting my ass in vein.

Advice? Links? Discount Coupons? Anything? I'm all ears.

Doesn't your gym have a shop inside selling it? Also have you tried supermarkets I know tescos sells it here in the uk.

A good price point for good protein is $50 for four pounds. As far as coupons go, Bodybuilding.com always has a 10% off coupon running, but the trick is to guessing what it is. A short search on their forums usually does the trick, and it's always something like MILITARY10, BENCH10, COMEBACK10, PRESS10, or the like.

As far as brands go, I suggest Controlled Labs. Pronom 23 is an excellent protein, Orange Triad is the best multi-vitamin hands down, and White Flood is definitely one of the best pre-workouts. Their creatine, Green Magnitude, is great and their amino acid, Purple Wraath, is also great. The PWO, Creatine, and EAA all mix together very well. This ain't your CVS trash, so expect to spend a little more.

Aside from the I've heard Super Cissus from USP Labs is excellent for your joints, although the rest of their products are garbage. If you're looking for a testosterone booster, that's a little bit more complicated, but the usual combo is Triazole and Activate Xtreme from Driven Sports. Personally, I'm using T-Up Black, Inhibit-P, and Erase Pro, and am seeing an increase in acne, which is what you would expect to see. If you're looking for a stimulant free pre-workout then Hemavol is a good choice. And, finally, Focus XT is a great all-around addition to any PWO.

Attention

DO NOT PURCHASE SUPPLEMENTS FROM GYMS, GNC, OR ANYBODY ELSE PUSHING YOU TO BUY - THERE IS A SERIOUS MARK-UP IN PRICE INVOLVED

I would never buy from the gym or GNC. Absolutely never. How they stay in business is beyond me.

They sell snake oil. Most supplements are snake oil.

Find me the current 10% off coupon. I cant find it anywhere. I'm not sure there currently is one...

Worked. Thanks!

I just nabbed Pronom 23 (Vanilla Cupcake Batter) 4LBS, Green Mag (Sour Apple) 40 Servings and Purple Wraath (Lemonade) 45 Servings all for $98.00. Along with it, they're sending me White Flood (20 Servings) and a shaker bottle for free. Not a bad deal. Your coupon cut it down to $89.00 and gave me free shipping.

Thanks for the advice, Dak! Just comparing labels... I'm ashamed I was ever using the crap I just finished. Now to pick up the Multivitamin on my way home. I'd get the one you suggested, but Orange Triad seems to pride itself on being "Iron Free". As a vegetarian... I NEED a supplemental that includes it... or else I need to eat my weight in Spinach.
