Yesterday was an anomaly (stupidity on my part)

I usually take 2.5 scoops before
1 scoop immediately after
Then a full meal half an hour later…

Yesterday (and a few other days now that I think about it), the second had 2.5 scoops as well… I don’t how I missed that, the power of routine I suppose… I dont usually have gas problems, but the days that I do that by mistake I get too much gas, and I am in the crapper VERY often (not to crap, but to release gas)

When I follow this routine correctly, I crap around 3 - 5 times a day

and hell yeah! Berserk is the shit! (no pun intended)

Edit: Nevermind

For those of you doing HIIT

Do you guys use an interval stopwatch? If so, which one did you guys get?
If not, what do you guys do, count how many light poles you pass or something?

Also, do you guys do all out sprint to jog intervals, or somewhere slightly below sprint to jog? And how many intervals do you guys end up doing (I know from experience in the past, 1:3 sprint:complete rest, I was dead by the time I did around 7, noob I know)

Oh and how often do you guys do this?

Meh, I just do 1 scoop whey in 10 oz. of milk with a banana. That fills me up a bit until my next meal at least. Spaghetti and meatballs sounds like you’ll be hardcore stuffed though. I would save that for later like around 2-3 hours after my workout.

Anyone here use slimmer belts?

I have a great Everlast one that even has little “magnets” in the back area for better blood circulation.

I have a question, are you supposed to wash these? Mine is getting a bit dirty. I’m also a little hesitant because of the little magnets, I don’t want to fuck them up or anything.

Personally I wouldn’t go all out unless you could sustain it for a period of time. If you can’t then just do about 3/4 of your sprint. I wouldn’t really spend too much time on complete rest unless you were doing sets of something. It’s better to jog after your sprint to get your heart rate back to normal. It’ll actually help you do more repetitions of these.

Started my stack today. Had some great pumps at the gym and was there for 2 hours. I could’ve gone on longer if I wanted to but I did a shit load of stuff. Controlled Labs products are so far so good, but then again its only been one day. I’ll give a better review of this stuff next week.

What’s the diff between a hammer curl and a reg curl, muscle wise?

ok can someone help me design a work out that would allow me to lift weights monday-fri. and gain about 10-15 pounds.

i weigh right now 143-150(depends on the week u catch me)…i’d like to jump up to 165.

now heres the thing i know alot of weight building/muscle building involves whey and nuts and such.

i cant drink milk…i’m semi allergic to milk…im mainly also allergic to whey and nuts.

thats why i need the help design this workout. id be much appreciative.

Damn being allergic to whey sucks. But here’s a workout you could try, but I’m by no means a personal trainer or future Mr. Olympia.

Monday - Chest/Tricep
Tuesday - Legs
Wed - OFF
Thur - Back/Bicep
Fri - Shoulders
Sat/Sun - OFF

This gives you enough time to rest while still hitting everything pretty hard. Now for the diet part, unfortunately this is where the most work comes into play and is pretty expensive as well. You probably wanna eat every 2 and a half hours, at around 300+ g of protein a day. Maybe start on a weight gainer. Eating foods like Eggs, Meat, Chicken, Tuna, Fish, Sweet Potatoes, Regular Potatoes, White rice, Brown rice, Veggies, Asparagus, Broccoli, Peanut Butter. You need to eat alot, once ur sick of eating, u know ur making progress.

I would recommend asking this same question on the bodybuilding forum at bodybuilding.com

Good luck man :tup:

thnks for the help appreciate it alot.

^ That post also benefits me too. I’ve been meaning to change my routine (was doing push/pull) . I know you guys have answered this a million times but in a routine like the one outlined by Biggzy, how many exercises would you do for each day?

eg. Friday is shoulders - would you just do 3 different types of shoulder exercises?

what kinda excercises should i do for back/bicep and wut kind for back.

FYI that program is not good especially for an athlete like yourself…

why’s that?

i figured it would be good i can work out in the morning and then go to martial arts at nite.

Agreed.

If you can’t drink regular milk, how’s soy? Try getting your protein from lean meats since whey is out of the picture. Nuts are better for a source of healthy fats. A good program for bulking would utilize either a 3 day full-body routine or a 4 day upper-lower body-split. Can you perform squats, deadlifts, and power cleans?

I recommend to not do any lifting within the first hour of waking up.

honestly i havent lifted in forever and when i did i didnt have a real program. i just benched in the morning before classes. i was lifting my weight at the time which is 145.

but im trying to design a real program cause im looking to really work out this summer.

i have no idea if i can do deadlifts or power cleans…honestly i dont even know what they are. i can do squats.

im allergic to whey and nuts. also i can get protein from pills i guess if need be.

i dont go to the gym til around 2:30…im there for like an hour and a half…any longer and i get easily bored.

And why is my program no good?

i dont even see a rep scheme on there???
