So, I dropped lifting weights about 4 years ago (replaced largely by mountain biking and errr... laziness), but now I'm thinking about picking it up again. I happened upon Body-for-LIFE. It is sponsored by EAS (the folks that make Myoplex stuff), but even if you don’t buy their products, the web site has very specific dietary and exercise routines... a neat site overall...

Their whole marketing deal is this "before and after" craze... contests for results ($$$) etc...

Anywhoo... anyone have any experience with this program or starting to lift after a long absence? … and what about this Myoplex stuff…. Any good?

body for life isn't new.

search the fitness forum.

It's a good program. Effective and safer than that fuking atkins bullshyt. Do it and do it properly and you'll have great results.

interesting... I just searched eBay, and it looks like you can get the Myoplex drinks for about $1.10 per serving... has anyone used it for any extended period of time?

.... I wonder if their nutrition bars taste any good...

I read the BFL book and it is too strict for my taste. It leaves nothing to the imagination. However, it is a decent program if you are new to working out and losing weight.

Myoplex products are top quality, but way overpriced thanks to the marketing machine that is EAS. There are just as effective supplement companies out there that produce similar quality products at much lower prices.

Don't let the before and after pics fool you. All of those men had a lot of muscle under their fat prior to starting the program. All they really had to do was cut their calories to get ripped.

For you Crashby, I suggest the Thug4Life program: a prison diet and plenty of weightlifting, supplemented by the occasional shanking.



Seriously bud -- you already eat right, go back to lifting some weights + mtb

 

[Crashby]

hehehh... I swear some of those before and after pics are photochopped...

I ended up buying 96 drinks of "Pro-sculped" brand for $54 shipped (has almost the same exact makeup as Myoplex) then I won another auction for 37 Myoplex drinks for $38 shipped (so I could see what Myoplex taste like mostly) - so Im in for about 70 cents per drink... (man I friggin love eBay)

I think all that stuff is created to sell what amounts basically to Snake Oil. Of course, even the Snake Oil Salesmen of the world need to make a living..........

Maybe it's because I'm a skeptical grump.

Current height: 5'10
Current weight: 153
Current BF%: 14
Top weight ever (with a little lower body fat): 171

Bro, I think you need to ditch the BFL program and go on a bulking routine!

No doubt he is lucky that he doesn't get blown away in a strong wind...

Its simply difficult to get a ton of low-fat protien without them, so they have value as long as they SUPPLIMENT, not REPLACEMENT...

of course I could just suck (I mean eat) eggs...

1 egg= 4 grams protien
1 serving Myoplex (or similar) = 42 grams...

10 egg whites? no thanks

What I meant to say was when you do eat (something), your eating habits are OK. But since your diet often consists of Slimfast, Pepto, shots of vinegar, and pepper snorts, you've got some room to work with.

I prefer this source of low-fat protein:

8 oz. = 56 grams

... eating habits are OK....

... had a lot of muscle under their fat ... cut their calories to get ripped.

I eat like a pig, whatever I want, whenever I want & as much as I want.
If I ate correctly, I'm sure I'd be "ripped"

I actually tried BFL 4 years ago...
Stuck with it for 6 weeks, lost 15lbs but didn't change my look/body.
(I blame genetics)
What it did tho was start me weight lifting again to suppliment the biking...

47 years old, 5'10 190lbs

What's in a Body Mass Index anyways?

Just stick with the diet you had on the way home from Whiteface............1 convienience store steamed hot dog, mozzarella sticks, and a package of chocolate covered donuts. I'm sure you'll bulk up in no time.
