It’s not a bad time at all, maybe right before you hit the sack... Just a little way to kickstart the metabolism, which basically means burning more calories while you sleep.

There are tons of different drugs people smoke (often using a pipe), but what you usually see on screen is probably crack cocaine.

You're asking how it affects the body? That’s an easy one... It's bad. Really bad.

Now, I know my way around chemistry—and honestly, I've picked up quite a bit about pretty much all kinds of drugs, meds, and various chemicals out there—but I really don't want to get into the weeds with anyone here. Drugs aren't something anyone actually needs, and they're best avoided entirely... just stay far away from them.

Dehydration happens because of alcohol, food coloring additives, and all those other fermentation byproducts. There’s really no magic cure for a hangover, except maybe staying ahead of it by drinking water while you drink—like, grab a glass of water for every beer—or just chugging some before you hit the hay.
But here’s something pretty wild... there’s actually a compound that almost completely shuts down how alcohol hits your system. Basically, you could keep drinking until your liver gives up, but you wouldn't feel a thing; you won't even get buzzed. It's called "Naltrexone." So, if anyone out there can get their hands on it, I say go for it... maybe try a competitive drinking contest until you pass out 👍 just kidding, obviously 😉

I don't even use that old handle anymore, I haven't hung out on that site in ages. I used to be active though, I even became a featured user profile once...

Look, Dennis White9 (iPhone) is totally missing the point here, or maybe he just doesn't get what this guy is actually aiming for. He’s not trying to bulk up into a giant; he wants to lean out, drop the body fat, and show off more definition. Based on the routine I laid out for him, he’s definitely going to hit that goal—less fluff, much sharper muscle tone...

By the way, I was scrolling through some old fitness forums and saw your photos, iPhone. Let's just say you're "top tier" on there... which puts me nowhere near your level... I'm way down the list... 😉

Don't take it personally, but I'll dig up an old photo of myself to show you. It seems like you think physical appearance is the only true measure of expertise...

Later!

Nice, thanks for the link. You actually have an account over there?
If you do, would you mind dropping your username?

Look, let's not get ahead of ourselves with all the theories and assumptions. Neither of us really knows who the other person is here... plus, it seems like you're still figuring things out too 😉

I don't see why not. Any kind of workout works...

Look, I don't think you can really compare your progress to mine, or even my level of experience. Honestly, all those searches you’ve been doing feel a bit pointless if you're just relying on supplements... or are you running gear?

Take some TechCrunch whey and take it to a lab for testing first. Once you know the actual purity and what's inside, come back and tell us here 😉 I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not what I go for... there are plenty of better options out there that won't break the bank either 🙂

To get started, since you're looking to build muscle and drop some fat... try hitting some light cardio on an empty stomach in the morning. Just a brisk walk for about an hour... maybe 3 or 4 times a week, and then slowly bump up the duration over time...
Then, you definitely need anaerobic training—weights. Your best bet is to join a local gym. You'll find people there who can actually give you solid advice, otherwise, I'd be sitting here for two hours typing out stuff about form, reps, blah blah blah 🙂
After your workout (within an hour at most, ideally right away), grab some whey (ideally from a brand like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey or Dymatize ISO100...) and mix it with glucose, dextrose, or maltodextrin (you can pick up some glucose at a drugstore like CVS) in a 1:2 ratio favoring the glucose. That should get you going. Of course, you have to clean up your diet too—cut back on the junk, swap white bread for whole grain or rye, and load up on protein and omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids... there's a massive amount of other stuff I could tell you, but let's start here... it's probably easier if you just ask me something specific

I'm pretty new to this group, but I definitely know my stuff when it comes to this topic... So, you were asking about protein. First things first, though—what are you actually trying to achieve? I can't really give you any solid advice until I know your goal.

btw, for anyone out there who’s been using those heavy weight gainers like Mega Mass, you might as well have been force-feeding your body straight sugar. Most of those gainers are basically just maltodextrin in a tub. They are—honestly, pure GARBAGE.

TechCrunch isn't even that great of a company, there are way better options out there... but anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from a buddy first, then we can dive deeper...
