FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 You dudes that have been argueing over shit, stop doing that. Everybody that were talking about serious work out plans and posting helpful links and shit, start doing that again. I've read this thread for a long time, I try most of the shit suggested by the guys that seem to know what they're talking about. So, yeah, post more cool shit.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2006 Ok back to protein shakes. I bought some protein to take after I lift. But I was looking at my schedule and I'll be lifting before I go to class. Which means I won't really be able to drink a protein shake after I lift b/c I'll be going to class. My mom(a freaking health nut) suggested that I drink it in the morning before I start my day because the protein will be there no matter what and it'll be there for when I work out. Any thoughts? What I should do? I can't really take it with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 The morning isn't a bad idea, neither is after a real heavy cardio workout, because you want to build up the muscles, and when you burn a lot of calories, it'll go after the muscles before fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 ON 100% Whey is good stuff, I've used it since 2004. It's good because it has hardly any grams of sugar and uncessary ingridients. Dama don't rule out eggs for breakfast. When I was trying to bulk up I'd eat three egg whites and a whole egg for breakfast. Don't buy the excess cholesterol or other garbage. You get a shitload of protein and some cholesterol ain't bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 This is why I have a weight bench at home with all the freeweights I need. Machines are overrated and limit your ROM...but honestly dude if you don't have time to workout here is a great little bodyweight routine... Pushups/Incline Pushups (switch to depth pushups when you feel you are man enough) Widegrip Pullups Close Grip Pullups Hindu Squats Dips Calf Raises There is never an excuse not to work out...(so sayeth the dumbass who hasn't lifted in over a month ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 Getting a pull up bar when you're over six feet can be a hassle. Plus wouldn't it fuck up a doorframe but good. Anyways, you want be be cool, get a climbers pull up bar and work on your grips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted August 31, 2006 I do pullups outside on the side of a shed. There is a ceiling joist about 7 feet up so its just right...but yeah i'm 6'0 and would NEVER attempt to hook up a pullup bar to a door frame. I'm serious enough about my lifting i'd just go buy the real pullup/drip apparatus gimmick at a sporting goods store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 DRH, what are the Hindu squats, I heard they are pretty bad ass once you get the technique going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Just a body weight squat, but with a hand motion. Kinda like like you are sitting in an armchair and pushing up and out when you hit the bottom of the movement. Ass to floor. I wouldn't recommend doing over 150 the first time you do them, unless you enjoy not walking very comfortably a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 So... As of a few days ago, I weighed in at 151.6 pounds at Gold's Gym, surpassing my then-current goal of 150. That means that in just short of 8 months (I started February 21st) I have gained 26.6 pounds of almost all muscle. That's been with mostly machines and very few free weights, and I have trouble eating enough calories. I'm hoping that when I switch completely to free weights soon and get a weight gainer to add calories, I'll see even better results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Paul Report post Posted November 6, 2006 I drink a good post workout shake that has done me good for years. I use ON 100% whey Gold, use about 2 scoops, some 1% milk, a cup of uncooked oats and about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Filling, good and it'll put some weight on. That's what I drink DIRECTLY after a workout, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Paul Report post Posted November 8, 2006 I like to eat some meat, like tuna or turkey. I don't really go for powderized proteins... Well, it depends whether I'm bulking or cutting. I generally use more of the powdered WHEY when bulking. Chicken, turkey, steaks are part of my everyday diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 See, I generally don't have the cash or organization for the whole bulk/cut thing. I just eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
