neutrino-(cool name BTW, i bet most people dont know what it means.) do you do cardio in the mornings? i am going to start, and i was wondering if it affected your stomach. wake up at 7am, take the pill, go do cardio, then eat breakfast. thats what i plan to do. i have a pansy stomach though, it gets upset quite easily.

Thanks, I chose the name because I have a hobby in quantum physics, in particular, particle physics/standard model. And yes I have weird hobbies.
Well I have been taking the supplement combination, eating a lot, pushing myself harder than usual, and of course good old fashioned placebo
and I managed to put over 6 pounds. True part of it its fat (rather unavoidable during a weight gain period) but it’s a small amount. I'm keeping a very close watch on the fat percentage. I meet once a week to my trainer to revise the meal plan and take measurements.
About cardio I've been told to do as little as possible during this period. So I do it only 3 times a week and only for 10 min (med-high intensity) beside the warm-up of course. After I reach the desired muscle mass and a bit extra to make up for the muscle loss during definition phase I'll start the proper cardio.
The pills, its true they are fairly harsh on an empty stomach so don't wait much longer than the recommended 30 min before eating. There is no point in ruining the stomach and not being able to take them anymore. Pus personally I hate doing cardio on a completely empty stomach (despite the fact that it is very effective fat burner) so add some pills to that and my stomach will definitively have issues too. Guess you can try it and see how you feel.
Oh and BTW I have a very new and interesting workout routine. Basically it goes something like this:
4-6 quick reps of a stable exercise (e.g. machine) followed without interruption by 12 slow reps (the same muscle target) of a highly unstable exercise (e.g. dumbbell press on an exercise ball) 60-90 sec rest then repeat
I just got it from my trainer and I'll start it on Monday.
