What do you recommend as a good multivitamin for men? Especially those men in the neighborhood of 40 yrs old.

Any multi that does not have added iron. The cheap ones are often just as good as the expensive ones.

Been focusing on the nutrition aspect much more lately. Start each morning with a shake consisting of oatmeal, pb, banana, milk. On non-workout days I add whey and creatine.

Why only on non-workout days?

Because I'm taking whey and creatine after my workouts anyways.

That still makes no sense. It would make more sense to add the extra protein/calories/creatine on days when you are working out.

I guess i'm confused. You are recommended to take 5 g of creatine per day wheater your working out or not...thats what I do.

As far as not throwing whey into the morning blended shake, I'm just trying to conserve it a little bit since on those days I will be taking a couple scoops post-workout anyways. My focus is getting the rest of the protein through actual foods. I shoot for around 1g/lb of bodyweight.

You only take whey and creating on non-workout days? I'm confused.

Let me break this down real simple.

Be strong. Be in shape.

That's it. That's the whole ****ing show.

You get stronger by adding more plates to the bar, or adding more reps with that weight.

You get in shape by doing shit from walking to sprinting to car pushing to bag work. Whatever.

You get the adipose off by dropping some food out. Usually carbs. I rarely eat carbs anymore and I feel great. I pulled 675 from below the knee last night easily and did shrugged it for a triple. Then did 585x11. This is on like 20 grams of carbs all day. I feel great and have never been this big and this lean at the same time.

It's not about vitamins or whey or creatine or shit like that. It's about consistency over a long period of time, busting ass, and doing basic shit. This stuff is very uncomplicated.

Obviously consistency is key. I've lifted 4 times a week for over the past year never missing a workout except for a recovery week here and there.

Now i've still been plateaud out on bench at 260 for quite some time. Which is in my context impressive being 100 lbs over my bodyweight. I'm now focusing on the nutrition aspect more as I stated earlier today with an emphasis in adding 10-15 lbs. Most everything I read says nutrition is probably 70-80% of lifting. You have some very impressive lifts what is your take on nutrition?

Haven't decided. Those fields kill my knees. And I'm still not sure I like my team.
