by "this stuff" I meant some of the non-protein supplements.
I'm not afraid of protein powder.

It's very good to know about my ratios, thank you.
looks like my fats are ok, but the carbs need to come down
and proteins up. Time for more chicken and eggs!

on a side note, the vita-shop gave me a sample of MRI's Black Powder...
a 15g little packet.
I've never felt so amped in all my life. My reps went thru the
roof...just doing pushups and dips I did a lot more than I thought I could. Perhaps that's a psyche thing more than
anything.
The down side is that I took all 15g on an empty stomach and
30 minutes into the work out I felt so sick I had to lie down for
a while and pray hard that I didn't puke. Eventually that passed
and I kept going...felt like the stuff shot itself in the foot
tho. If you feel like puking, do you really want to do crunches?
so I won't do THAT again. blah.

Also, I've been impressed with how many muscle groups
I could work out without weights. A good size book proved
awesome for working out the delts, the couch held my feet for crunches, a small chair raised my legs for dips off the counter,
and getting down and lifting one end of the coffee table worked out well for biceps in a curling motion.
Squats and leg lifts were pretty easy too.

gotta figure a way to do lats tho....

gonna go eat some chicken, eggs, and probably sausage (just a little).
thanks again
