What kind of supplements do you take/recommend?

I don't really want to put more muscle on, but I'd like to keep what I have an lose some fat... if I add some muscle in the process, wouldn't hurt my feelings too much.

I workout about 5 days a week as it is and I've been doing more cardio than lifting the last two months. I am starting to tell some difference, but as Saltman reminds me, I am getting older and it's harder and harder to lose that fat.

<<<<old guy. Hate to break it to you, but since I've quit drinking during the week, its alot easier for me to keep lean. :D I'm also running alot more than I used to. Never did supplements other than protein powders. Now I just make sure I eat enough protein-rich foods.

Yeah, I don't drink as much as I should... :lol: so that's not really an issue.

My diet is getting better but that is an issue. I've cut sodas out... well, mostly. I regress on that sometimes. I generally eat healthy now. I don't do a lot of running, mainly because it kills my knees.

I should have said I take a bunch of vitamins/ minerals every morning. I guess those are supplements, technically. Might be wasting $ but eh.

I drink a soda maybe once a month. Only water, or beer. :)

Me? 38... 6'0", 215

Ok at 215 even at your age you should still be able to drain about 15 - 20 lbs off with relative ease

What kind of stuff do you usually do .. I know you said cardio but if you could be specific like .. do you run? Plyometrics ( jumping , jump rope yada yada ) ?

BTW Chad Ochocinco said it best if you workout like you're supposed to , you can eat or drink whatever the hell you want :p

I really like using this website, bodybuilding.com, and they generally have some pretty good deals compared to other places and they really have a lot of info and member reviews that really help. Just go to set up your plan and it will give you a video overview and a list of products that will be best for you.

Personally I really like Gold Standard as a source of protein and multi-vit and NOW vitamins are also pretty good. If you have more specific questions after that I can try and help, but usually everyone has their preferences. If you are not looking to really add muscle, I'd just stick to vitamins and omegas and go from there.

If you go balls to the wall with all your workouts your diet isn't that big of a deal unless your eating 20+ bigmacs a day or something. Just eat like regular and maybe lessen the soda intake and you'll be fine. I lost 30 pounds running and lifting weights and i ate whatever i wanted including burritos and hamburgers every once in awhile.

But as for supplements you can take Jack3d 3d pre-workout and drink muscle milk post workout. These are the too most common supplements.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By bythenbrs · Posted

      In another post, Snow says about three years before you can properly grade a rookie class.  Sounds about right…

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, the high expectations after a draft. Keep your expectations low, people. Darin Gantt's latest "Ask The Old Guy" gives life to one of those lessons about pro football reality as a fan: "Rasheed Walker was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, so Freeling is going to have to work. Hunter's got another big 'un in front of him in Bobby Brown III and a different kind of defensive tackle in Tershawn Wharton. Chris Brazzell II's got a lot of traffic at his position. Zakee Wheatley has to be better than the chronically underappreciated Nick Scott, and Sam Hecht is a fifth-round rookie at the hardest position on the line to play, who probably doesn't have immediate positional flexibility, and a solid free agent addition in Luke Fortner in front of him. "Fans generally love their draft class as soon as it arrives, because there is no evidence to the contrary yet. Once guys get on the field, the reality begins to creep in, and the seasoned among you remember that if you get three or four good players out of a draft, that was an amazing draft." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-things-looking-up-after-the-draft-monroe-freeling-luke-kuechly-bryce-young-derrick-brown Don't get crazy. Winning the draft (or the offseason BTW) on paper always leads to good feelings and great expectations, especially when you seemingly succeeded the season before, but let's remember that the Panthers are very much a work in progress. Team building takes time. If we get a couple of starters out of the draft, it's a good draft, but three or four would be an amazing draft, and anything more than that is actually sensational--even if entails a few multiple high end rotational players along with three starters. Moreover, kind of within that same vein, the coaches have to let the kids off the chain. Remember the coach-speak of past coaches about competition that is anything but because coaches have their notions about veteran experience? Not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but sometimes I think their reluctance to put the young guys out there is based somewhat in dogma or possibly fear because big stakes are on the line (e.g., their jobs). It can be frustrating to say the least, but the coaches are supposed to know best. Again, I say all of this so that we can remember to temper expectations and keep them within the realm of reality. It's like telling your mind to think of it as something akin to under-promising and over-delivering. Leave room to be pleasantly surprised for the best case scenario, but be cognizant that that rarely happens. I would think at this point, most of us should be able to recognize growth when we see it, and sometimes that growth doesn't manifest itself in the form of immediate supremacy, but a setting of the stage for long term dominance for years to come. It seems like we're on track for an emergence by 2028 or 2029. We still have huge questions, but by 2029, hopefully we will take our seat at the table of the perennial contenders in the NFL.
