March 26, 200619 yr pm me your email and i could help you out. I've been working out for about 5 years now so i have some pretty helpful advice. If you don't want to give me your email than just start out by looking at http://www.intense-workout.com read all the diet stuff their (the actual workout on that site is crap but the diet is good info) Edit- oops i posted before reading the rest of the thread. But yeah here are some good tips which will 100% give you results. I have done just about every kind of exercise and gimmick for 2 years before i found what was actually working. -prepare yourself to get in a commitment to workout for at least a year. If you don't think you can then give up now -eat chicken like crazy -find out how many calories you normally eat, then add 500-800 more -this is for bulking up incase your skinny, which you can tone later -join as many teams as possible that you will enjoy -drink that whey of yours at least 3-4 times a day even if you are not working out that day -Do cardio first thing in the morning, even before you eat, to get max results -if your taking creatine dont use it for more then 1-2 months straight or your body will become dependent and not create its own creatine -eat a banana or two before you workout -if you want good results than do not workout biceps, or any other muscle, every other day. Your muscles need at least two full days rest. And for the secondary muscles they can be worked out every other day. ***incase you do not know what i mean: working out chest= works out triceps secondary. Working out back= works out biceps secondary. So you can workout your chest monday, triceps tues, then biceps wed and you could be safe for example. -lift fewer but very heavy (make sure you can only do a max of 8 reps on your first set) -give up all fast food all unhealthy food/drinks. Make sure to stick with water and lots of it -limit your lazy time, like being on the computer to a extreme limit. Try to choose either watching tv for a few or going to the computer for a few minutes. -get 9 hours sleep every night as a minimum -lift weights properlly, curling 60's completely wrong will get you nowhere but in pain - if you are going to use creatine and whey you might as well by something like cytogainer (you can get it at a GMC) -do not trusts exercises from any site or person completely. Cause it took me forever to figure out that everyone if different and after working out for so long your body will tell you how you should be working out - do cardio every day -ill add to this every week or so when i come back on as i think of stuff -buy some bigger shirts my freind
March 26, 200619 yr "Why aren't you growing?" written by 0311. 1. You overtrain and under eat. These are listed as the main primary reason because they go hand in hand and BOTH must be balanced or you can forget growth. The most perfect training regimen will fail miserably if diet is not there to support it. And conversely, the most perfect diet will be wasted if the trainee is doing more workload than they can recover from—most do WAY too much! 2. The training workload is not varied. Doing the exact same lift the same way stops being productive for most trainees within 3-6 weeks. Once the body has adapted to the loading it must be changed if you are to continue to force the body to adapt. 3. Too much focus on isolation exercises, not enough compound work. You can do all the “small” lifts until you are blue in the face, but until you are moving big poundage’s in the big lifts you will remain small. Which brings up point #4. 4. You MUST squat and deadlift if you are going to reach your bodies growth potential. Think it through. Doing squats or deads activates 70-85% of the bodies overall musculature in one move. Doing a set of curls maybe 3-5%. Which sends a big signal that the body better get better at synthesizing protein and better at handling the need to grow as a unit? You will NEVER reach your potential without doing the squats and deads. 5. You constantly fluctuate between lifts that have bad carry-over. Here is an example: I have seen many times, and one I have done myself. The trainee burns out on benching and decides to do Hammer Strength Benches for a change. He makes the switch and is jazzed. His Hammer press is going up every week and he is stoked. After a time he has added 50 lbs to his Hammer bench and decides to go back and hit the bench, only to find it’s up a whole 10 lbs!!!!! That doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with Hammer Benches. It just means that the lifts are dissimilar enough that an increase in one may not necessarily help increase the lift on another. Use of stabilizers and inter and intra-muscular coordination are two primary reasons, along with neural recruitment pattern gains that don’t apply well to the other lift. 6. You don’t know when to de-load/cruise , or take time off. NO ONES body takes a constant pounding of hard training without periods of active or full rest recovery. Until you learn how and when to don this your training will never be optimal 7. Your micro-nutrient support SUCKS! I can’t count the number of guys I have seen trying to build great physiques taking a “one a day” vitamin and thinking they have it covered. If you want great things out of your body, you need to put great fuel in it. 8. You train with the intensity of a arthritic old lady. Nuff said. 9. You have no clearly defined goals. Most people just “lift to get bigger”, and while this is a fine goal, not having and strength related goals will kill your progress in the long run. Your primary goal should be getting stronger on the big lifts on a CONSTANT basis. Setting short and long-term strength goals and achieving them is what equals a big strong trainee in the long run. 10. You are inconsistent. Getting excited about your training and killing yourself in the gym only to burn out and few weeks later and miss a bunch of sessions ends up being 1 step forward, 3/4 steps backward for many trainees. Getting and staying consistent and racking up sustainable gains over the long-term is what it’s about.
March 27, 200619 yr Hmm, I hope you mean short distances like 5 minutes as I doubt you could run every day for 20 minutes unless you are uber-fit. Like I said, I run 5 miles once a week which takes me about 25-27 minutes depending what kind of shape I'm in and I wouldn't be able to do that on a daily basis. are you saying that you can run 5 miles in 25 minutes?

You've just lost all validity to anything you've ever said in this thread because I bet my car, house and all my earthly possessions you cannot run a mile in 5 miles, let alone 5 miles in under 30.

March 27, 200619 yr Your body weight x 24 (+ 300 to 500) is your daily calorie requirement without doing anything! If you train hard add 1000 - 1500 calories, not more because you gain too much fat. 500 mg Testo/week (16 weeks) + 30 mg dianabol/day (the first 8 weeks), if you are done you should use clomid or nolvadex for a few weeks to boost your own testosterone production... Good luck soldier!
March 27, 200619 yr i swim and play tennis only during the season, eat what i want, and have a body fat % of 13.7 swim. a lot. k?

I am not a fitness guru by any means but I like to keep healthy and I'm trying to learn more ways to keep getting fitter all the time. You said eat a banana before or 2 before workout but you also say do cardio first thing when you wake up without eating anything so what's it to be? I'm not trying to pick you up on a mistake I just want to know why you said two contradicting things. Secondly, I don't really like water, it's too bland for me, I usually stick some orange cordial in it or something like that, is that still as good as water for me? Like I said above I workout a bit of everything, 3 nights a week which is usually every other night, I'm not big on working out, I only do it for health reasons, so do you recommend I change my routine or does it not matter if I'm not actively trying to beef up? As for the comments about 5 miles in 25 minutes, OK here's the deal. I run around a park nearby my home which is 2.3 miles around, hence 4.6 miles twice round. My best time is 25.24, I hit 26 if I am upto it but my average is about 27 minutes. If anyone wants to doubt me I don't give a shit, it doesn't change reality.

Do cardio in the morning on an empty stomache, that way you target the fat itself. Eat foods containing protein throughout the day and before the workout, something which banana's lack.
March 27, 200619 yr Author Rofl, i remember 3 years ago... I was a real skinny person. (my weight * 24 = 1080) .... 45 x 24 = 1080 3 years ago you weighed 45 pounds? What are you 5 now or something?
March 27, 200619 yr Hmm, I hope you mean short distances like 5 minutes as I doubt you could run every day for 20 minutes unless you are uber-fit. Like I said, I run 5 miles once a week which takes me about 25-27 minutes depending what kind of shape I'm in and I wouldn't be able to do that on a daily basis. yea dude that would mean you have a 5 minute mile :lmfao: and im pretty sure your fatass cant do that. 2nd of all I never said you had to run long distance every time you run ;) If you dont want to run long distance switch it up every other day...start off with a mile one day...the next do sprints...etc etc etc Now Hooden Hen, stop being a dumb fat ass and let the people who know what they are talking about speak.

I never doubted you I just wanted to verify you thought what I thought you meant. And I don't need to prove myself for you, I've always been good at endurance, to me it's just a matter of not thinking about your pain, I usually do this by thinking about whatever comes into my head whilst I'm running. I believe I know as much about the subject matter as more than half of the people in this thread, but it isn't a matter of 'knowing what you're talking about', everyone has their own different say on how to keep fit and build up your muscles, but at the end of the day it comes down to you. Everybody's routine will be different depending on the kind of shape you are. Even the top health experts suggest different things to keep healthy, there is no set way to go about things. If I've learnt anything from trying to keep in shape it is that it's the little things that matter. You'll definitely notice the weight pile on if you eat more fatty food than usual in the course of a week, your muscles will go down slightly if you skip your workout for a couple of days, etc.
March 27, 200619 yr dietwise, fat is not a bad thing, especially when working out the thing is, the type of fat that you feed your body is very important avoid saturated and transaturated fats, these will just make you fat and make it that much harder to bulk up. other fats, however, are a very good idea. eating foods high in unsaturated fats like avacados will help. whole wheats and grains are are a good idea, fruits and vegetables(except for potatoes, all starch there) will help give you needed fiber, good carbs, vitamins and minerals. make sure you get enough calcium, you use it every time you contract a muscle, and all of that flexing is going to take a tole on your skeletal structure, so you will need calcium. this doesn't mean you have to drink a lot of milk, you can get it from most leafy/green vegetables. for protein eating fish, chicken, and eggs should help. eggs actually help prevent cholesterol from building up in your blood stream, so the more meat/dairy you consume, the more eggs will help you keep healthy. as far as working out, doing exercises on a daily basis is very important. just make sure to give your muscles time to recover. hope some of this helps.
