Stretching and exercising with no weights really help. Like if you were doing chest and your chest is sore, do some pushups.
Thanx 
Do a search for nitro-techā¦thatās a good proteinā¦(you can also get it at GNC, kinda expensive though, around 70 bucks for a 4 pound tub)
You may want to check out sports-performance-news.comā¦they sell nitro max protein powderā¦Iāve tried it at my gym and itās one of the best tasting protein powders aroundā¦and if you get the 25 pound tub itās a great value at only 150 bucks. (around 165 after shipping I believe)
about stretching, don;t stretch too hard on your chest during your chest workoutā¦it can actually limit the growth of your chest
do very light stretching of your chest before, during and after the workoutā¦
chest was one of my biggest problems but itās getting betterā¦stronger anyway not so much bigger
Try 1000mg of vitamin C in time-release capsules daily for muscle soreness. I used to work with a doctor who was in to weightlifting, he was chock-full of handy tips.
Nitro is frikkin expensive man. Optimum Nutrition is probably the best you can get for your money. I personally use Isopure.
Absolutely false, there is evidence extreme stretching in and of itself my cause muscle hyperplasia.
I have some questions about lifting and nutrition, obviously. Anyways I am about six feet tall and I weigh 155 lbs. Since I have about 10-12% body fat I am just looking to get bulk on my muscles so they can show through. What kind of foods can help me with a 3 day a week lifting routine? I also have protein powder that I make shakes with but when is the best time to use it?
read the directions on the protein powderā¦most tell you the best time to take itā¦and most say right after you work out, or before, or right as you wake upā¦I would suggest one right as you wake upā¦and one after you work out. As far as foods goā¦I would suggest alot of red meat first and foremostā¦because aside from having the necessary protein they also have more fats than chicken and fish and a 6 footer who ways 155 needs all the fats and calories they can get.
The name of the game is weight gainingā¦and to do it you need to work outā¦and load up on carbs and calories while taking in a gram of protein for every pound you weigh every day. Consistency is crucial.
Romieā¦nitro is expensive but itās rumored to be one of the best so me and my roommate tried it outā¦My roommate did nitro and weight gainer (1/2 servings) and put on 7 pounds already (itās only been 2 or 3 weeks.)
And isopure tastes so bad it makes my asshole wanna suck on a lemon.
Anyways romieā¦check out that website sports-performance-news.com and read the artical on their protein NitroMax. Itās an interesting read.
you cant minimalize the pain when u just start out. what should do is do less work out cuz u just started. and also make sure to rest up until the pain is totally gone before you go again. dont injure urself.

Next time ur back in town, I want you to come to ironworks with me and show me this training in personā¦Iām starting to plateau pretty hardcore and this training sounds like the truth. I think itād be fun too.
No problem I will be home for four weeks for holiday break from around december 14th or so until January 10th. Extra long break for us to balance up the quarter schedule.
ok guysā¦I need help putting together a good diet, cuz I think thatās the one thing Iām lackingā¦Iām about to get alot more serious here next weekā¦I was reading that link chaos made to the DC training and I noticed him saying something about taking in 500 grams of protein a dayā¦thatās an ungodly amount of proteinā¦is that really necessary?? Iāve always heard the rule 1 gram for every pound you weighā¦
Yeah the general rule is 1 gram for every pound of your weight. I read a article a sometime ago and it said that even 1 gram for every pound was a lil too much but didnt hurt, ill try to look it it up and post a link.
what kind of diet are you looking or leaning towards?
well Iād like to put on some weightā¦but only lean mass not fatā¦Iām afraid that Iām not eating enough thatās all. Cuz I sleep in for the most part every day ( I wait tables at night) wake up drink a shakeā¦go to the gymā¦drink a shakeā¦and the shakes leave me pretty satisfied for the most part and then I get ready and go to work.
Iāve read about people loading up on carbs and calories and am wondering if I should follow suitā¦
Preciate the info Magnus. Yeah I probably can afford to eat a lot more when I want to just because of how damn skinny I am. Iām trying to eat a more balanced diet along with taking in more protein.
My metabolism is unstoppable. I few weeks ago I was eating my usual 2000 or so calories a day and I weighed 130. I upped my calories to 2500 calories a day, and only gained half a pound. I then upped my calories again to 3000 calories a day, and lost a pound heh. Now Iām 129.5.
You donāt eat enough crouching tiger, point blank. Iām 6ā1 or so, 200 pounds and Iām currently eating 5-6000 calories a day. Iām gaining weight, but Iām also getting chubby, such is life. I find it much easier to diet down where I want to be than to gain weight, eating the way I currently am is a pain in the ass. Just make sure your getting in as many meals a day as you can, gains will come. Also you may be weighing yourself to often, I would weigh at most once every two weeks, always on teh same scale, always at the same time of day. Your weight can vary drastically throughout the day remember.
Perry, the 500-600 grams of protein DC and some of his elite clients (silverback,Inhuman) take in is because they are elite level lifters. 300-ish pound people. Basically DC suggests around 2 times bodyweight in protein daily, 5-6 meals. The eating is one of the toughest parts of the training system, it just wears on you after a time. Also after about 5 weeks on the program when you get back to the exercises for the third and fourth times the weights start to get daunting. Tomorrow I to smith squat 3 plates for 20 reps, and I know now its gonna be totally balls out. In short the reason he demands such high protein intake is that the system is designed for gaining mass, and it stresses your bodies ability to recover.
Thanks for the info guys. Interesting reads.
Iām currently like 6ā1 and 220 lbs. So, yeah Iām big enough to scare off my sisterās would be boyfriends 
Most people that find out my weight are like "Where are you hiding it?!? O_O " Soā¦whatever.
anyways, lately Iāve been kinda on this vegetarian kick. Fruits for breakfast, salads for lunch, veggie pizza or whatever for supper, and random glasses of fresh carrot juice through the day. Please note I am NOT A HIPPIE! lol I love meat and have no problems killing animals for food, but itās a good diet for me because I have a medical problem with my Kidney and protien will kill me 
But anyway, it was interesting because when looking into this way of eating they made the point that meat is not as essential to muscle growth as we thought. They go into the scientifics of it all, but a logicalpoint being that humans and gorrillas have like the exact same digestive/whatever system. Meaning both of our bodies use food in exactly the same way. And the gorrilaās #1 favorite food is fruit and if it canāt find fruit itāll eat vegetables. No meat whatsoever. However just look at the gorilla, I would kill to be as buff as a gorrilla! :lol: Just not the hair 
But anyway, was curious if anyone else has tried this stuff. Iāll let you guys know (with seski gay pics like
Herny wanted LoL j/k )if it magically works and I get buff as fuck. :rolleyes:
Keep up the good work :tup:
