Damn this inspiration bro. I am trying my best to get under 200 llbs. I am at 235 right now....
Man I take so many I am ashamed to list them...LOL
I just start B12 a few weeks ago as suggested by my doc.
All my blood work was good except my white blood cells were down. I don’t have any underlying health issues, so he wanted be to take b12 to see if my count would improve.
I won’t know anything until next month, but there is a noticeable difference in my energy levels and metabolism.
You can do it. The crazy thing is, most people kill themselves working out but keep the same bad eating habits (I was “most people”). Even if you make a few adjustments to your eating, more times than not it will make a big difference. What was your heaviest weight?
I think people rush the process and either give up or injure themselves not being patient
Getting discouraged has stopped allot of people

These are the 2 biggest things people need to read before they start a weight loss/gym journey, my brother just started working out with me and first thing I told him was about food, you don't have to immediately go into starvation mode just start cutting back from your normal eating habits, add water, some fruits and vegetables. I changed my workouts too because I saw on the very first day he was trying to match what I was doing and getting a little discouraged when he couldn't. Some months ago I started focusing more on calisthenics (body weight exercises) so our workouts consist of a lot of different variations of pushups, pullups, dips, jump rope, walking and squats. Lol..He said he started working out on his own a few weeks before joining me to prepare himself but gym weights and body weight exercises are on a different level especially pullups and dips, I don't jog/run as much as I walk 3-6 miles so that's different for him too
Just got finishing doing a HIIT workout. Monday - Friday doing HIIT and IF....
Great that's what I wanted to hear! You weren't just wishing it but doing something about it.
Now you have to focus on what's on that

I'm taking Vitamin-D, L-Citrulline and beet root powder. I want to get to consistently eating beets but the taste
Have you tried beet powder? I use an organic brand that I just add into my smoothies.
I use the juice and mix it with tart cherry juice(both organic)
What is Beet Root powder good for?
Can Beetroot Powder Improve Athletic Performance?
The supplement can boost endurance and offer other benefits, including for sexual healthFACEBOOKTWITTERLINKEDINPINTERESTEmail
A powder made from grinding dried beets may be the secret to better performance in activities such as distance running, cycling and … ahem … a certain other sweaty endeavor.
Research shows that consuming beetroot powder or beet juice can boost physical performance and stamina by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery in your body. Basically, it’s blood doping via a root vegetable.
So, what kind of magic is the humble beet using? Let’s find out from registered dietitian Carly Sedlacek, RDN, LD.
What is beetroot powder?
Beets are a knobby root vegetable with a distinctive dark red coloring. It’s an easy-to-grow crop that’s been around for eons, which may explain why it pops up in so many recipes and cultural cuisines.Beetroot powder is made from dehydrated beets that are ground down into tiny particles. The powder is a concentrated version of the vegetable. (One teaspoon of beetroot powder is considered the same as a whole beet!)
Many view beets as a “superfood” given their impressive nutritional resume, says Sedlacek. Beetroot powder is growing in popularity as a supplement that taps into those natural health benefits.
Beetroot powder can be mixed with water to make a juice or added to smoothies, sauces or even baked goods for a nutritional bump.
Beetroot powder as a performance enhancer
Understanding how beetroot powder can serve as a natural performance enhancer takes a little knowledge of biological science.Let’s start with this fact: Beetroot powder is rich in nitrate, a compound made of nitrogen and oxygen. On its own, nitrate doesn’t do much for your body. But when your saliva converts it to nitrite and nitric oxide … well, good things happen.
“Nitric oxide relaxes and expands your blood vessels, which allows for increased blood flow and more oxygen delivered throughout your body,” explains Sedlacek. “In athletic terms, that can help you perform better for longer.”
There’s plenty of evidence showing how consuming beetroot powder can improve performance in endurance activities, too. For instance:
- Recreational athletes were able to ride exercise bikes longer at higher intensity levels after just six days of drinking beetroot juice. Researchers called the findings “remarkable.”
- Walking up steep hills became easier with less overall energy burned after participants took a beetroot supplement. Recovery time was faster, too.
- Kayakers on a national team improved time trial performances by an average of 1.7% after being given a beetroot supplement. The improvements at that level of competition were considered significant.
- Adolescents having obesity experienced improved exercise tolerance after drinking beetroot juice, which worked to extend the time spent doing physical activity.
When to use beetroot powder
Timing is key if you’re planning to use beetroot powder to gain a competitive edge. The reason? It’s not exactly a fast-acting pre-workout supplement.“Beetroot powder works best if taken about two to three hours before performance,” says Sedlacek. “It needs some time to get in your system. You’re not going to take it and see instant results.”
Plus, a big boost isn’t guaranteed: “Supplements affect everyone differently,” notes Sedlacek. “It might be something you need to experiment with a bit within the recommended amounts to take.”
Beetroot powder for sexual health?
Beetroot powder also may help enhance amorous physical activity for men and women.Studies show that nitric oxide “is an essential mediator of erectile function.” Given that, many believe that beetroot powder can help alleviate erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving blood flow to the penis.
In addition, beetroot powder works to decrease high blood pressure — another common cause of ED.
High blood pressure also can reduce blood flow to the clitoris and vagina, lowering libido and making it more difficult to get aroused. In theory, beetroot powder may address those issues and improve the sexual experience.
It should be noted, though, that claims related to beetroot powder and sexual health are thin on scientific confirmation and heavy on anecdotal tales.
Other potential benefits of beetroot powder
The list of potential benefits offered by beetroot powder also includes:- Fighting inflammation. Beets and beetroot powder contain betalains, an antioxidant and natural pigment with anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is linked to diseases such as heart disease, asthma and Type 2 diabetes.
- High-fiber content. Eating a diet high in fiber can lower your risk of chronic disease — and beetroot powder is packed with fiber.
- Better brain function. Increased blood flow to your brain can help with cognitive function.
- Potassium source. Surprise! A beet contains more potassium than a banana, an attribute that’s passed along in beetroot powder. Potassium can help lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
Risks of beetroot
If you’ve ever passed a kidney stone, you NEVER want to experience the feeling again. So, know this about beetroot powder: It’s high in oxalates, which can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.“Beetroot powder can put you at risk of kidney stones, especially if you’ve had them previously,” cautions Sedlacek.
Also, be aware that your restroom output may look a bit different if you consume beetroot powder. The vibrant red coloring of the supplement may add a different tint to your urine and poop.
In general, too, it’s best to talk to your healthcare provider about adding a supplement to your routine if you’re taking medications or working through a health condition.
Bottom line
Beetroot powder and beetroot juice have gained in popularity as “functional foods” for athletic performance. The International Olympic Committee even recognized beet juice as a legitimate sports food.“Beetroot is generally recognized as being safe to use,” states Sedlacek. “It’s worth trying if you’re looking for an edge, but don’t expect miracles. There’s some good research showing potential benefits — but as with anything, there are no guarantees.”

There's a guy in his 60's that goes to my gym that says he gets that shot, he said he had tried Neugenix and some other testosterone boosters but they didn't really work, but got the shot and it works wonders, he comes in the gym some mornings walking with his chest out talking about how he just got finished putting in about 30 minutes of work on his wife
It's great because it helps your body produce natural test instead of getting supplementsThere's a guy in his 60's that goes to my gym that says he gets that shot, he said he had tried Neugenix and some other testosterone boosters but they didn't really work, but got the shot and it works wonders, he comes in the gym some mornings walking with his chest out talking about how he just got finished putting in about 30 minutes of work on his wife
