Muscle Building

[Mouse]

Muscle Milk is bad...It has too much fat(the bad type of fat)which is why it's the best tasting protein you'll take.

Arching you're back while benching....Go ahead and do that if you want to break it. It's the same when working out legs. You never lock your legs it will destroy your knees.

N-Large protein...you can buy it in a bucket....I believe it has 53g of protein and 80 something carbs per shake. You want to take 2 grams of protein per pound to bulk up.

Another product you can take aside with the protein is NO-Xplode. Take it before workout. You will get an insane pump. Trust me I max out on bench 275lbs and leg press I can do 810lbs 4 times.

The pyramid workout is the best way to go...But I suggest 4 sets instead of 3. So do 10...8...6..4. Move on to the next workout. Do at minimum 5 different workouts a day.

Monday....Chest
Tuesday...Arms
Wednesdays...Back and shoulders
Thursdays...Legs
Fridays...Chest and arms

Plus every two weeks I change my workout completely...Gotta keep your body guessing.
I got to.....

Mondays...Circuit training
Tuesdays....Cardio
Wednesdays....Circuit training
Thursdays...Cardio
Fridays...Circuit training

And then i go back to the first workout above...But you need to remember that everyone is different. So what might work for me could possibly not work for you.

Good luck.

If you want i can scan you my workouts tomorrow.

Anothering thing to note....If you miss a day during the week. Just make it up on the weekend.

The circuit training consists of 3x12. No pyramid on circuits.
Cardio ranges from 40 to 60 minutes.

No clue what circuit training means. A lot of people recommend Muscle Milk??? I'm still deciding on which brand to get after I'm through with the Muscle Milk tho.

Scan your workout? Not sure what you mean, but sure, can you please?

think he means send you a copy

and as for muscle milk... it just reminds me of that movie with rob schneider where he drinks badger milk. lol. i could never bring myself to buy a protein with such a cheesy name.

circuit training isn't something i'd recommend for someone trying to gain weight but i guess you can always give it a try. anyway to me circuit training is like cardio and muscle building combined. normally when you lift weights you aren't trying to get your heart rate up. this is anaerobic. when you do cardio you goal is to maintain an elevated heart rate. this is aerobic. circuit training combines both in a way. to me though if you have your heart rate up you can't be building muscle mass. building endurance? yes. mass? no. please someone correct me if i am wrong cause circuit training really isn't my area of expertise.

You're right about the circuit training. I do it basically shock my body....Break it down...In circuit training you workout everything...Not just a specific part of the body.

hmmm, I don't think I'll be doing circuit training until I bulk up to the size I want. hehe. Thanks for telling me what that is. I guess I won't be getting Muscle Milk next time around.

lol... you can always try it and see. this is what i usually use just cause i think it tastes pretty good mixed in with my milk and cheerios. i can't NOT eat cereal in the morning. it just feels wrong.

Muscle Milk is fine. It's just really expensive. You just need whey protein. Maybe buy some carbs supplement powder and mix it in.

You don't need to do circuit training. Just mix up your work outs like every 3 weeks. Oh yah, and lift HEAVY!

LOL. I don't eat cereal anymore...since I became lactose intolerant and since cereal never touched me. I would have to eat x amount of bowls to get anywhere near full

Yeah it is. Probably the cost is due to it actually tasting decent. lol. I gotta switch it up pretty soon, although I've been increasing my weight load every week...does that count?

When I come back from lunch I'll post up the workout.

If this is your first time lifting weights, I don't think you should even switch up your exercises for atleast a month or so. That's just me. Most people switch up their exercises because muscle has memory and they want it to always guess, and they do it if they hit plateus. I hope you are doing legs. Legs are connected to other muscles in the body and are a vital part in making you bigger. Also, one exercise that will make you big......DEADLIFTS. Nuff said.

If you want to do one workout that does every part of your body.........

POWER CLEANS

[Mouse]

Here is the workout...they are in .pdf format.

to be honest, you dont need alot of fancy protein supplements or any anything. you just need to eat more and lift heavy. i put on a good 20 lbs of muscle (from 135-155) by doing the GOMD (gallon of milk a day) and doing squats/deadlifts/bench/shoulder press. im not a huge guy, but i went from skinny to athletic. im not a power lifter, and i dont want to win any medals, i just wanted to be more athletic, and i got it. i used startingstrength.net to build my base. check the site out, the stuff makes sense...

Thanks for checking up. I started this whole thing at 128lbs, and I'm at 135lbs now, gaining 1-2 pounds a week. I'll be doing P90X this summer, but for now, it's power stacking and eating lots and often. I'm also going to start taking some fish oil capsules as well, just because it can help prevent CAD. Thanks for all of your help.

[PETERPOOP]

lol. dont get use to gaining 1-2lbs a week. ;)
