Starting To Lift

only problem is that you can't buy the hot chicks at the gym. (or could you?

I dont know man, if I worked out at a gym I dont think I'd ever have time to workout, I'd be too busy getting numbers.

everybody wants my number Im to cute.

I dont know guyz, personally I have no problem loosing fat an gaining muscle at the same time. When I bulk, I just eat like a horse, pizza, burgers, whatever, as long as I'm getting around 500 G's of protein, I dont care about the fat that follows. I dont care because I know I'm going to cut right after I bulk, and I never get fat anyway because I workout the same when Im cutting or bulking. the only difference is in what I eat when Im cutting. When I'm cutting I eat only fruits and veggies, and use various supplements to keep my muscles skin tight. I usualy have a little fat on my abs, thats it, and 3 days into my cutting I get rid of that by doing cardio (which I dont do when bulking). I keep the protein up by taking a powder called "nitro-gen", its like 60 G's every 2 scoops, so i take mad scoops of that a day, its a bit costly, but it works, and so do i so i have the cash...lol. Most people I know, in fact I dont know anyone else that is like me, who can eat all that stuff and loose the cumilative fat 3 days into his cutting cycle and cont. to grow muscle just he did before, so maybe my way isnt the best for you. So if I were to specifically give advice to the general public on how to eat, I would say that when you are bulking, eat as much protein as possible, but be sure to know your own metabolism, if its fast, eat like a horse, whatever you want (high in protein), if its slow, turn yourself into a label looker and be sure the protein/fat ratio is in favor of the protein. When your cutting, no matter your metabolism, eat a lot of fruit and veggies, and protein with little or no fat accompanied by. Just my advice Ive learned over the years. Hope I helped ya, peace.

GoalKeeper, you do some crazy stuff but your on waaaay too many supplements

as long as I'm getting around 500 G's of protein,

There will be no difference in muscle growth if you get 500g or 300g a day. The best ratio to stick with is 1-1/2 g of protein per lb of body weight. So if you weight 200, then 200-300g will be fine. I could see 500g of protein if you weighed 330lbs and how many of us weight that?

oh I just learned some thing new

so does that mean if im 135 lbs i should be taking about 200g. That makes like 10 scoops of whey protein a day. Do I take 10 scoops? lol

Actually it's anywhere from 1 to 1.5g per pound. I have frequently seen the 1.5/pound using Lean BM not total BM.

EDIT:Um, plus you know that it's per day, right?

yeah one to one and a half grams per pound of body weight. whats the difference in your post and mine? would this make more sense, 1 1/2, excluding the dash? If others need more of an explanation, then weigh yourself and take that total to figure out your suggested protein intake. Im not talking body mass, im talking total body weight.

Ex. 215lbs, so 215 * 1 = 215 ...... 215 * 1 1/2 = 322.5, so any where between 215-323 is the goal for that desired weight

Do I take 10 scoops?

yep if thats all you consume during the day? But im sure you eat food as well, so then 10 scoops would be too much.....Read the labels and do the math as to how much protein your are getting in your food and supplement the rest.

Come on man, your better than that. And I'm not even that great. What SUCKS though is that I broke my arm wrestling and now I have to start halfway in the summer to catch up on the bulk competition. F***!

Leave the teeth mark on the barrel of the gun...

I guess im some freak...lol, more has always worked better for me, i didnt start out doing 500G's, I just did it for a while at the recomended dose, 180G's a day, and I wanted to see what would happen if I used more, and I'll be damned if I didnt get better results each time I cycled it at higher dosages, I would go higher than 500, but I dont have the money, nor the stomach...lol.
