I'm getting results

:sad:

 

Haha, really apprecate the input fellas. Gonna take a day off today, and tomorrow probably start up the new routine.
As far as results, is there any goal as far as body weight/strength that I should keep a watch for, or is it way too hard to tell, considering everyone is different?

 

eat more!

 

And a little more healthy....

You definitely need to eat more, and more frequently.

Try to eat six times a day, it keeps your metabolism working, but it also aids in your body always having nutrients to reubild when it can.

Make sure you are getting sleep, that is when the majority of muscle repair and growth happens.

You are going to have a hard time seeing results till you eat some more since you have such a fast metabolism, your body is burning all the calories you have eaten, and have none left to rebuild.

I have been lifting for about three years now, and have proven results, ask just about anyone in here. If you need any help, feel free to ask any of us....

 

yeah i was gonna say before reading the latest posts that you should try to increase your calorie intake significantly w/o using lots of fatty foods. when your muscles need to regenerate and you dont have enough energy in your body, it wont get any bigger and you'll be the same size. gettin big/in shape is half exercise and half diet (what you eat). general rule of thumb that i (and other 'meatheads', although im not a meathead) use is that your 2 biggest meals should be 1.5-2 hrs before your workout and then w/in 45 mins of your workout. gives you your body plenty of energy and time to digest prior to your workout and replenishes and builds your body at a crucial time where it tries to repair itself. so on top of that, a solid but not huge 2-3 meals should be had during other parts of the day. and make sure you eat a solid breakfast, cuz like everyone said it helps w/ your metabolism to get working early. goodluck man and try not to miss gym days. lack of consistency will kill you.

 

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I'm off to eat a horse for breakfast now.

 

You are eating something else too arent you :deek:

 

:rofl: I thought of that when I was typing it

 

exactly. if you are really only around 3% bodyfat, you have to take in way more calories if you want to put on some noticeable mass. somewhere in the 3000+ calories a day.

about a month ago i started back on a gain cycle and with it comes heavy, and laborious eating. eating is just as important as the weight lifting to see gains. since everyone else has posted their lifting routines, i'll go ahead and post my eating routines.

7a: cytogainer calorie shake 600 calories w/water or 900 calories w/milk
8a: fruit and cereal or boiled eggs
10a: turkey or tuna sandwhich
12p: big lunch, it depends on where everyone else is going for lunch, but it's always a pretty big meal
2p: another turkey or tuna sandwhich or something similar
5p: cytogainer calorie shake
7p: large, healthy (protein heavy) dinner
9p: some kind of snack
11p: protein whey shake

and before a workout, i usually have a cup of rice, or something else that's pure carbs. as far as other supplements the cytogainer shake has creatine and glutamine, and i'm taking a shark cartilidge supplement for my achy joints.

 

you wanna gain muscle mass protein and carbo loading work extremely well...In highschool when I used to work out everyday twice a day for football I would eat huge amounts of pasta and meats (along with my veggies too, well rounded is important) I would also try and eat at least 5 times a day....that is with how much conditioning we did I was burnin a shit ton of calories so you mite be a touch different....and like dubcac said...high weight low reps for a good build.
