what about those bars that help protein absorption? i bought some of those and finished it, and i'm thinking about getting some more. is that a good idea?

i'll start working out when i know i can be committed to it...damn daily quizzes and homework!

you should get only a "normal" amount of protein, that is only what a sedentary person of your stature should be eating if you are not going to work out

bars are fine but they are expensive, I supplement with whey powder and egg powder and don't bother with bars, they can be total meal replacement or a snack depending on caloric content, nothing wrong with them but I can think of things I'd rather eat

basically what I am saying is don't spend any money on any of this stuff if you are not going to be working consistantly

eat normal meals and try to eat more often (5-6 times a day!) and eat your brain food since that is all you are using right now

there is always the option of doing split routines, you can do shoulders/arms, legs, back/chest; this will only take three mornings or evenings from your schedule and you can compress these workouts into an hour easily if you are efficient and do not take breaks

with a pair of dumbbells and an adjustable bench, a pull up bar, some push ups you can do everything you need, you can even do squats with dumbbells at your side, this is a small investment and you can improve your build at home on your schedule

quit pissing in the wind and get to work!

hahaha, yeah, i think i'm going to hold off on those supplements until later. i do have some dumbbells, but only 10lbs each. i'll try to squeeze in an hour in the morning since i have night classes.
