Back to incorporating three sets of 100 crunches every other day. I haven't done so many in about eight months, so I am in quite a bit of pain XD

I just do strength 6 days a week, ab ripper x every other day, cardio whenever im not a fat lazy fuck.
I only take whey, I've been told to take creatine, I've also been told I'm cheap (so no creatine for me).

All I ever do is 4-5 chin ups a day >.> Need to train for the upcoming physical test so as to ensure I don't get sent into army early

The chin-up bar I ordered actually just arrived this morning. I am really looking forward to using it in my workouts. It's one of the best pieces of gym equipment you can own

Yeah... I tried a whole bunch of different combinations of protein powder and liquids. The best was probably chocolate whey powder and skim milk, but even that was gag-worthy when I could only stir it together in a tumbler.

My favorite at the moment is skim milk, chocolate protein powder, a smidgen of peanut butter, and fresh baby spinach leaves or fresh kale. You can't taste the spinach at all, and can only taste the kale a tiny bit--not enough to mind it.

chocolate milk
seriously just keep it simple
it has the perfect 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein
which is ideal for a workout recovery

i do 2% milk + rich choco carnation instant breakfast

side notes::

fish oil is great
but make sure you are getting a good one
look for a high dose of EPA
as not all omega-3 is the same
you are wanting that which comes from deep sea fish

if you are going to do a whey supplement choose one that has whey protein isolate as the first ingredient
if the supplement does not distinguish between which whey they are using don't buy it
whey is a fast acting protein that will prevent muscle synthesis quickly
however, it is not long lasting (like casein) both of which are found naturally in milk

also if you are experiencing pain (knees, joints, etc) a high dosage of fish oil can be a good a alternative to medicines such as advil, tylenol, etc
or you could just throw in some swimming over running, get new shoes/rotate pairs, run on grass instead of pavement, etc

I'm joining a local gym Sunday and doing a guest pass tomorrow. I'm excited because I've been nothing but a lazy slug for almost a year now since the other gym I used closed. I'm only going for toning up and getting back in shape in general. I feel better when I go to the gym and my body has been stiff and achy for a while now. My membership is supposed to include group fitness like spinning, zumba, yoga, Tai Chi, body pump, and some other stuff. I've got to change something. I haven't felt well in a while and I'm sure I can blame it on lack of activity and not eating well.
