It starts Tuesday

This Tuesday I go to my first appointment to quit chewing tobacco. I have chewed or dipped for 29 years. I am going to the doctor this time because the last time i tried to quit by myself, I gained 50lbs in 4 months. My wife has been using the program since October and is doing great, so it's my turn. I am looking forward to all the extra money to buy training equipment and new programs. Wish me luck!

Best of luck Todd!

Brian, Thanks.

My family doctor already told me that I am going to gain weight, so given that I am on CBME for the next 3 months, I am taking extra protein and Creatine monohydrate again. If I am going to gain, it might as well be muscle.....LOL

Todd, you might want to add in some BCAA's t that mix as well. good luck, I think a little weight gain is OK, quitting the Chew will be a benefit in the long run.

Dean, thanks for the recommendation. Actually, the Body Tech Whey protein also includes BCAAs. The only one missing is L-Ornithine. I remember back in the day, L-Ornithine and L-Arginine used to make me big(reformed wanna be bodybuilder):)
Your training has been looking well. Is the knee 100% yet?

My knee is doing pretty good. There are a few things like Shinbox and Pigeon that are uncomfortable to do so I've been staying away from those, other than that though it's on the mend and getting better. Right now my elbow is more of a concern. Tendonitis. Hopefully by the Spring or Summer I'll be able to train with clubbells again. Staying away for now:(

Hey if you've been spending a small fortune on supplements check out "vitacost" on the web. They have really great prices.

Dean, I will definitely check it out. Even though the Vitamin Shoppe is right around the corner. I hope the elbow gets better. TacFit Clubbells is coming according to the post on RMAX. I don't remember which one, but I believe it was the one Herman stated about TacFit 2.0. Sonnon said it was coming this year along with TFCB. I can't wait! I just need to get a real set of 15s, and another bruiser and i will be all set!
