[Zany]

[Steroids]

e.g. a protein shake that has LOTS of calories in.

[Zany]

and where do i get this extremely gross liquid.

[Desi Don]

thanks you put alot of time into this im guessing

Ive been having trouble building muscle this should help :)

[Blitz]

Already favourited this, will keep coming back to it.

Mate's been pressuring me to go gym again for a while, i went a few times a bit ago and like, last week, just don't go like, every day/couple days, so i'ma start doing. Thanks Moffit.

[I Meleed I]

You're welcome guys :).

[Ollie]

My metabolism is sky-high like Zany's rofl

I just eat fuck loads and it seems to be working for me, slowly but surely. I'm only using a 100 calorie protein shake though. I've been looking at Maximuscle Progain because it has high calories and high protein, maybe you should try something like this as well as eating big, Zany?

I'm no expert though  ;o

[Steroids]

seriously mate you're still using the holland and barrets protein arn't you. throw it away.

get a weight gainer or atleast a 250 calorie per serving shake.

One tip is to eat something like 2 poached eggs and a piece of toast for breakfast.This is because Eggs are relatively filling so you can go longer without having to eat,it worked for me a little....

Also you say eat more exotic meats,may I ask why Lamb is included?It isn't very exotic as all around me I see sheep and i'm not sure where you are from but in Britain it is not considered "exotic".

And what does Alligator taste like?:P

[Flex]

[Nick]

Hi guys, I have just broken up for my Easter holidays and as well as revising for my GCSE exams id like to get fit & put on muscle, if I state my regular diet below, would someone experienced give me some advice, also on what to train ect.

Weight : 57.8 Kg / 127 pounds, 9.1 Stone

Height : 159 cm / 5.2 ft / 62.6 inch

Breakfast - Nothing atm - will start eating fruit since on hols.

Snack - packet of crisps / small chocolate bar.

Lunch - Meat (Chicken, Beef, Lamb) with pasta normally.

Snack - Small piece of flapjack or something.

Dinner - Sausages and pasta - potatoes.

Normally I do press-ups & Pull-ups - Im training to enter an army college next year, and over my 4 wk break will hopefully do 4-8 gym sessions.

Aims - im not really interested in "rock-hard abs" or a six pack, mainly big arms but STRONG too. And for fitness, my cardio is good.

[Env]

I really like the 10 myths that you have there

[Sam|Hooded]

Personally I'd say if someone was trying to lose weight seriously, do high intensity interval training. Lots of stop start stop start at a high intensity, one my corporal reccomended to me was: Find a hill and mark about 20 metres up, sprint as fast as you can up it, jog back down + do 20 press ups. Then repeat this until you can't breathe, rest for 60-120 seconds and do it again, and again, and again. Then do a long slow run slogging out at a slow pace afterwards.

[Octavarium]

you make it sound a lot more fun...

time to start exercise. thanks moffitt.

[IJAY]

shudda put about cannabis and alchohol, cannabis reduces 30% of muscle, good topic tho

[VacantPlains]

I am currently working on just pull ups and push ups as you need to be able to do quite a few to get into the Air Force Academy. It's pretty amazing what you can accomplish in a short while if you set yourself to it. I went from doing 0 pull ups to 8 in about a month. These strength plans look good too, Ill have to try them out.

[Silenced]

Also too much cardio increases cortisol levels in the body which is the bodys anti-testosterone pretty much. Cortisol attempts to remove muscle mass and store it in your body as fat. something to that extent

Dont be an idiot, muscle can't be changed into fat.

Cortisol - insulin. 2 opposite hormones.

Cortisol triggered by stress causes catabolism.

Insulin triggered by working out etc causes anabolic growth.

Estrogen - Testosterone. 2 opposite hormones.
