I’m not that tall, I’m about 5’5, so I look pretty rip already. I don’t wanna be stocky, ya feel me there? I just wanna reach about 135 - 140 lbs and I’ll be all set. I found the best way to gain weight, is through the legs. and alot of people tend to skip the leg work out, which I feel is the most important part of the body.
The Mullah: I really don’t have pics, but you can the difference from my face, that’s about it.
ahh, i would like to see pictures, i’m very jealous of your progress, i wish i could have gained that much strength so quickly.
How much protien is there in 1/2 gal milk?
Glutamine in any form is a waste of money. Read around about the science, but money is better spent elsewhere. Perry when does your new cycle start? Let me know and good luck.
such body kinda reminds me alot of Daigo Kazama from rival schools series .
slim waist .
big ass shoulder chest and back …
but in capcom’s artwork , everything is exaggerated … big hands and fit .
I start in the next two weeks…I’m sending the money tomorrow and expect my order in early next week…I might wait to start until I have the HCG and Aromasin on hand…I already have a ton of nolvadex…I decided against the clen, and am just gonna try T3…this cycle will be about 1200mgs every 8 days…so wish me luck everybody…
About the glutamine…it’s not a must have but hell it’s not expensive either…some people just like to have everything GNC will sell em…
don’t a lot of you guys use isopure? isn’t there a lot of glutamine in that?
btw, what do some of you guys put in your protein shakes and how do you make them less… frothy?
The Mullah: the key is to let your body rest and I tend to work out for at LEAST minimum 90 minutes a day. I go minimum 5 days a week. Sometimes I’ll even go 7 days a week and on certain days I’ll work out for 3 hours or so, but like everyone else, I have my own work out routine. One day I’ll do Chest, next day I’ll do Legs, the next day is back, and the next day is arms. I don’t have a set day where I would do this or that, but I tend rotate daily like that. I’m telling you man, the chicks WILL NOTICE.

I’ve been reading this thread, and there’s a lot of good information here. I wanted to post what I’ve been doing, and see what you guys think. I appreciate your feedback.
I started at the beginning of this year, so I’ve been doing this for two months now every day. I realize that my program is somewhat limited (I didn’t want to start out doing too much, and not be able to sustain it). My main focus is on losing weight and getting some definition in my muscles. I’m 6’0" and currently 209 lbs. When I started at the beginning of this year, I was 224 lbs. I would like to be around 185 lbs. For the weights portion of my workout, I’m using the only thing I have right now - 10 lb dumbells. I know the weight is too light for me, and I’m compensating by adding more reps (I want more muscle definition anyway, not bulk). So here’s what I’ve been doing:
1 hour cardio (treadmill) - usually between 5 and 6 miles per session
Crunches (forward) - 3 sets of 25
Crunches (right side for obliques) - 3 sets of 25
Crunches (left side for obliques) - 3 sets of 25
Leg Raises (lower stomach) - 3 sets of 12 (these are a bitch)
Pushups - 4 sets of 15
The following all done with 10 lbs dumbells:
Curls - 4 sets of 30
Shoulder Press - 4 sets of 25
Reverse Curls (triceps) - 4 sets of 25
Standing Flys (chest) - 4 sets of 25
I alternate every day between the two above. I don’t take any days off. I’m either doing the cardio, or the crunches/lifting. To complete this, here’s what I’ve been doing for my diet:
1 bowl Total cereal with 1 cup 1% milk and a banana
1 clementine orange
1 bowl of pasta with meat sauce
1 oz. cashews
1 Diet soda
Tuna sandwich (tuna packed in water) with light mayo and on wheat grain bread
1 Serving Goldfish cheese crackers
1 Diet soda
1 bag of Popcorn (no added butter)
I think I’m probably coming in at around 1700 calories, so I don’t think I should go any lower than that. As restrictive as my diet is, I’m actually ok with it. I’m not hungry and I don’t feel sick from it or anything. When it’s time to eat, I’m hungry, and when I’m done, I feel satisfied. I also drink a lot of water each day (probably more than 8 glasses/day).
I’m making good progress so far, but there’s probably different things that I could do that would be more effective.
Thanks for your comments/advice in advance.

Couldn’t help but notice the recommendation of either juice or milk for whey protein. Post-workout you should only intake your protein shake with water, always. It should be mixed with glucose and maltodextrin; high GI carbs to replenish muscle glycogen levels after lifting.
And glutamine is not a waste of money. It’s one of the most widely-advocated supplements around.
7days a week!!! 3 hours lol I think thats too much dude, If its working for you fair play too you.
Ive started training recently but I go 3days I kinda broke it down like you like i do chest/shoulders/tris for one day then legs for another and back and arms for the last.
You right about people mising legs out their work out, every little helps, not only that it looks kind of stupid when someone has tiny legs but massive upper body.
Yea I hope to stay focused on training for 6months and see where I get, hopefully I’ll get the girls attention like you lol.
3 hours a day??? your joking right???
none of my workouts go beyond an hour…normally for muscle hypertrophy(sp) (muscle growth) you are only supposed to rest 30sec- 1 min30sec inbetween sets…
so if you are working out to get bigger or to gain muscle i cannot imagine someone working out for 3 hours…
im outi

Yeah, three hours is too much. You’re just burning your muscle through catabolism at that point.
yes, yes, and yes…
One of the BBer’s at my gym makes all his shakes with creatine, whey protein, glutamine, and ground oatmeal…
On that note cytogainer is a great PWO shake…lots of cals/carbs/glutamine/protein/creatine…
Alright jim…to have muscle definition, ur going to have to build muscle…25 rep sets with 10lb dumbells and a diet that’s clearly deficient of nutritional value isn’t going to build muscle…no offense man…not saying you won’t lose weight though…ur going to burn through a ton of muscle and fat in the process…and if you start to gain weight again, it will all be fat and you will be worse off than before…
Starting out can be tough, especially if ur goal is a body recompsition. You’re going to have to either get a home gym or a gym membership…you must have access to SOME kind of free weights or equipment…once you get that, somebody can help you put together a good program…for a beginner like yourself, full body routines, circuit style, 3 times a week would be fine…You have also got to start eating more…and I don’t mean bullshit like popcorn either…we’re talking grilled fish, grilled chicken, rice, oatmeal, eggs, tuna etc. 5-6 times a day minimum…you will have no desire to snack if you’re eating every 2-3 hours…
Hope that helps some…
Glutamin really does work and it tastes better than most supplements in its pure form.
About the CytoGainer: it’s good stuff, but not for after a workout. Weightgainers have fat in them, which is usually healthy but post-workout isn’t a good aspect because it complicates digestion in that critical time for glycogen replenishment.
www.abcbodybuilding.com is by far the best nutrition site for weightlifters, in my eyes. Every article is cited and backed by a plethora of scientific journals at the bottom.
heh, it’s not like i do 3 hours everyday man. i say on some days i do up to 3 hours. but usually that’s when I have so much adreneline running through me I just keep going and going. that’s how i found i could do 2 plates. i’m pushing my body to the limits, but this is only on certains days man.
Umm, cytogainer isn’t high in fat…it’s almost fat free, as well as lactose free…
610 cals per serving (4 scoops)
3.5g fat
84g carbs (only 5g being sugar, others are complexed maltodextrins)
54g protein
3g creatine
2g glutamine
And the previous question asked about shakes being frothy…try stirring it with a spoon instead of shaking it…isopure mixed in water especially gets a little foamy, but you can put it in a shaker and just kinda swirl it around until it’s dissolved maybe shaking it once or twice…
3 hours in the gym is absolutely ridiculous ANY day, even if ur on HGH, insulin, test, and whatever else…I could BLITZ my ENTIRE body in 3 hours…
I seriously advise you to post up ur workout regimen and let me, chaos, romie, opticallyinvis and whoever else rip it apart…
