Miralax. This is what you use before a colonoscopy.

Great size on back, thighs, and chest!

I would take it after your workout and first thing in the morning on non-workout days. This maximize insulin's effects of shuttling the creatine to your cells.

LMFAO! Thanks for the visual. :dance2:

At the very least you can practice isometric contractions at varying ranges to maintain your strength and muscle mass.

I disagree. Franco Columbu lifted heavy year round as many do and he had plenty of veins. I think it is more related to low bodyfat percentage.

Blackbeard, I have definitely listened to the advice I have received on this board. There are many people with more experience then me and a lot of lifting weights is trial and error. If someone has more experience then they most likely have tried things and errored more than myself. This...

I believe you should rest your calves unless you use very light weight and higher reps to stimulate blood flow. I don't believe in the "calves are used everyday so they can handle it" theory. Many muscles are used everyday that still need to be trained a specific way. Furthermore, the range...

Thanks blackbeard. This is good info to know.

Proper hydration will help kidney function as well so drink lots of water.
