I recently got a membership to a gym out here...I find myself using their basketball court way more than their work out facility. I need to motivate myself and start, though. Maybe I'll go today.

Ya, you shouldnt be lifting anymore then 5 days a week, cause if you are, your over training and your muscles aint gonna grow for shit. The only reason you should be lifting 6+ days a week is if your a advanced bodybuilder or your preparing for a contest. The best thing to do is workout 2 days on and 1 off, that seems to work the best. And make sure your taking in enough protein, 1 gram per pound of bodyweight AT LEAST!!!

Working out is so simple but people are too naive and careless to get some results in the end. To tell it quickly there's 3 things you need to take care of:

a) When working out, do the excersises correctly. When you're in a gym like 90% of the people around you do it wrong. As men, we have big egos, so we put mad weights on to look cool but that shit is just hurting you and you're never gonna develop like you oughta. Just check bench press for example, so many people put too much weight and as a result, when doing bench, their shoulders and triceps are doing most of the work and not chests like it's suppose to.

b) Change your workout routine every month and within that month change the order of excersises you are doing every week. Because if you don't do that, you'r muscles get used to it and you don't develop.

c) And most importantly: proper food! Especially when you wanna get cut you have to be on a strict diet for couple of weeks, whichs means lots of proteins like 2/3grams per pound of bodywieght (so that you don't lose your muscle mass, while being on a diet) (meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes), very little carbs like 1g per pound your body weight (and you eat them only in the morning and before and after the workout) (rice, vegetables) and healthy fat (nuts and shit like that, olive oil, fish oil). If your trying to gains muscle mass then you can lower your proteins for a little bit and add more carbs. The goal is to have 6,7 meals in a day, every 2,3 hours. And drink lots of water!

But working out is a learning process, you learn new things every day.

Yup, your spot on with that. But for the protein intake, i wouldnt take in anymore then 1.5 grams per pound of bodywieght, the rest your just gonna shit out and its gonna be a waist. Im 200 pounds, and i take in no more then 300 grams a day and thats ALOT, i usually get in 200-220 grams a day, thats just enough. O and take your multi vitamin everyday!!!

No doubt, I weigh 100 kg and I take about 250 grams of proteins per day, so that make's it about 2,5 g per body weight.

@Real City's Most, it does help. I was having the same problem as you are, I was stuck at 90 kilos and last year I changed my routine and I gained 10 kilos and now I'm still at 100 kilos but I'm eating really proper since new year so I'm more cut.

If your tryna gain weight, get in at least 3000 cals a day, thats minimum, you should aim for 3500 a day though. Get in around 200 grams of protein a day, im assuming ur not over 200 pounds. Dont worry to much about how many carbs or fats your getting in, just eat 5-6 meals a day. All consisting of Chicken, fish, steak, patatoes, oatmeal, eggs, chicken sandwhiches, subway and just all of that kinda stuff man. If you gain fat really easily though, stay away from stuff like subway, but some people can get away with it. For sweets, limit yourself to cheating only like once or twice a week, its only gonna hinder your gains, just think of how badly you want it lol. But it aint a big deal, you need to cheat for you to stay on track and not fall off, just dont do it too much!!!

Post by: MontrealCity's Most on June 08, 2008, 03:57:14 PM
yeah im no where close to 200 im more close to the 140. I dont gain fat easy at all so Subway it is i go there everyday anyways.

yeah u know whats up...however your example of the bench press, I don't know how u can use ur shoulders and tri's more than chest.

BTW who is that girl?
Title: Re: health/working out
Post by: Meho on June 08, 2008, 04:10:48 PM
Like Johnny said if you wanna gain weight than lots of carbs, proteins and healthy fatt, try to keep them in 1:1:1. Then you weight yourself every week, once a day, it has to be the same day every week and same hours (for example: every Tuesday at 20.00). And if you are gaining wieght then it's cool, if not, you increase the dose of carbs. I can't give you an exact number, everybody has a different body, metabolism, that's why you need to weigh yourself.

And yeah, you can sweets every know and then, that's normal. Try to keep it at the minimum and if you're gonna eat proper, you'll see that you won't miss it at all. And you're trying to gain wieght, so it's not that big of a deal for you anyway. Im trying to lose 5 kg and I still "cheat" every 2 weeks with shit like McDonalds, chocolate, ice cream... To eat 100% proper all the time is impossible, unless you have zero social life because at every party or whatever there's always some bullshit to eat.

What I mean by that is some people put mad weight on and the actual push is being made by shoulder, triceps and of course some chests. But if you put normal weight, you can really isolate the muscle and you can easilly tell the difference. I used to do the same but now I do it like it's suppose to and the diffence is huge.

Yup, that's why you got all these guys at the gym benching 375, but they have no development in the pectoral muscle. I'm sure if I pushed my limits, I could do the same. I only bench a little more than my body weight (about 160-180 lbs) but I do the full motion of the muscle and give it a complete workout so I see lots of development.

Who the fuck wants to impress a bunch of dudes at the gym anyways?

Sure. Right now I'm doing only about 60kg/130lbs but I take 3 seconds to put the weight down, hold it for 3 seconds in that maximum muscle contraction and then lift it up for 3 seconds. That's very little wieght but that shit hurts like a motherfucker but it's that good pain.

Ya you want that feeling where you know your working it. I see all kinda of shit in the gym. Some kids just fuckin doing there set like there late for a meeting or something, its like relax buddy, your not getting the full potential of your set if your tryna finish it in 5 seconds lol. Do the exercises nice and slow (not too slow, you'll know wuts 2 slow and whats not) with a moderate weight and make sure your doing it properly. I always see people pick up a fuckin 40 pound dumbell and just throw it around like an idiot, using there back and everything to pick it up LOL. The gym aint no fuckin weight lifting contest, lift what you can lift and you'll see some solid gains. And Meho, ya, i dont really like the bench press, your using mainly your shoulders and tri's. Thats why i only bring it half way up now and back down, the last 50% going up, your using only your tri's. But if your doing chest/tri's on the same day then its all good!!!

So how im gonna start counting protein and calories starting today.

So i read non some sites calories is yuor weight times 15 or 20 and protein is you weight times 0.8.


NOw my other trip was , what about olive oil, when you bread somethihg ( does the batter and egg count) ...stuff like that.

Anther thing too say tonights im suppose to be eating mac and cheese..how the hell im i suppose to calculate that?

i got the illest bicep routine, or tricep routine ever


meho , got it right

GYM = STIMULUS

EATING/SLEEPING RIGHT = GROWTH

ill never stop working out i love getting stronger and that feeling that you get when you walk out of the gym after your workouts' is PRICELESS. that certain euphoria that you get..


if your just starting out, dont let others ruin your confidence if they are doing more weight than you are.. the most important thing when your starting out is doing the appropriate ammount of weight with the correct movement/posture.. its alot of dudes some big dudes out there also that just swing there bodies around lol with the weight.. ooh and make sure you do isolation excercises like my fav as of late seated INCLINE (with ur head against the cushion) Hammer Curls.... also do preacher curls make sure u put your arms above the cushion where its touching your arm pit thats the correct way to do em....
ima give you 2 dope excercises for building sick tri's...  CLOSE GRIP INCLINE BENCH PRESSES and DECLINE SKULL CRUSHERS those are the shit

Exactly. This is exactly what I did at first, but my watching some instructional videos online I have mastered the proper technique. It takes time though, if you're learning from scratch and working out alone then it takes a long time for all this new information and techniques to be stored.

Yeah I never had a personal trainer or anything, I learned everything by myself, which takes longer but it's probably more exciting that way, than to know everything from the scratch. I am still learning a lot and like somebody else said, going to the gym is one of the best feelings in the world, I'm gonna do it as long as my body can take it.

I weigh 180lb, and want to put on lean muscle. I don't want to have to bulk 20lbs and then cut again if I don't have to. I have about 11% body fat atm.

I usually take between 180-220g of Protein per day, but I am stuck with how much Carbs and Fats I should take daily, can someone help me here?
I feel like I might be taking too much/too little at times.
I eat the right stuff - oatmeal, wholegrain rice etc, but I dont have the exact ratio down yet..

I have been really slacking the last 3 weeks - no gym and excess alcohol has messed me up big time in terms of development, I have took some serious steps back and I am looking to rectify it from this weekend onwards.
Another problem I have is that my diet is excellent, but only 5 days a week.. Saturday I am out all day drinking, and Sunday is recovery day so I don't take in many calories at all.. i think this is hurting my progress big time.

I hear you about the diet thing and the days you fuck it up. I take it as something normal, we're young, we go to partys all the time, like I've said before, in order to keep a strict diet for a month or two, you would have zero social life.

About nutrition, I'm also still learning about it, I actually want to make it my career. Like untill this year, I ate like 50% right, just the basic, logic food I thought was the right thing. But I studied about it in Feb., March for a while, learned a lot and I'm gonna finish it as soon as I finish with my exams.

About carbs, you have 2 sections (I am on a diet btw):

a) on the day of the workout: I take 50g of oat meals in the morning, 50/100g of oatmeals before the workout and rice and vegetables 1 hour after the workout = everything  amoutns to about 140/150 grams of carbs per day
b)on the day when I don't workout: 50g of oatmeals in the morning and rice and vegetables in 1 meal = everything amounts to about 100g of carbs or lower

And this shit works like a charm, I started it about 2,3 weeks ago and went from 103 kg to 98kg's. I want to get to 95kg's by the beginning of July, which shouldn't be a problem. But you have to eat a lot of proteins and healthy fatt, so that you don't lose to many muscle mass, while being on a diet.

Yeah see I am taking a hell of a lot more carbs, and I am eating carbs still too late in the day - having sweat potatoe with salmon as one of my last meals is not ideal.
I usually take 60-80g of Oatmeal with a Banana for breakfast, 4 slices of wholemeal bread, 120g of rice or pasta and 1/2 sweet potatoes and veg at night, thats roughly an average day in terms of carb consumption for me.

I think I need to start taking more fats later in the day, and more protein through the course of the day. How good is Flaxseed Oil? I have not read up on that too much.

You said you eat an hour after you work out, but do you take a PWO shake immediately after you finish the gym?
I am taking a custom made formula of: 30% Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, 30% Maltodextrin, 30% Dextrose, 5% Creatine, 5% BCAA's.

I take 50g of that formula immediately to recover, then eat something like two fillets of salmon and wholegrain rice about 1hr 30mins later.

+1 for dropping knowledge.

I take whey protein right after the workout, the ideal combo would be like you have with BCAA and Maltodextrin but it just wouldn't work for me financial wise and as long as I live with my parents, I'm gonna try to eat as much natural food as possible and go easy on the powders.
And yeah 1h and a half after the workout a meal that involves proteins, complex carbs and vegetables, you have a good one.
Potatoes as your last meal will definetly fuck it up, just like you said, try to eat carbs only in the morning and during the day and helthy fat at night.

Nice thread idea.

I started with old man's 10lb DB's again bout two weeks ago after noticing my upper arms were looking Calista Flockhart-skinny when I flexed them.  :-X  :-\ Eventually googled 'bodybuilding' and sure enough bodybuilding.com has been my first and only port of call. It's got great articles on there, just read one the other day about how to target specific muscle groups which is exactly what I'm after!

Been sticking to certain foods after reading another article; wholemeal bread for sandwiches with chicken or tuna as filler. Drinking water more instead of Irn Bru (Addictive-ass Scottish soda) and trying to have an apple, banana or even a tangarine instead of chocolate bars or any other shit. Lucky in that my dinners are usually something with freshly cooked beef or chicken but I'm really struggling to think what else I can eat. Veggies?  ???

All I really want to do is bulk up on my upper arms but I've never experimented with multi-vitamins or creatine, etc. Been working out* at home one day on and one day off for about two weeks now to try and allow it to develop some. *Like one isolated tricep exercise a day for an hour with small breaks, ie. Monday - Reverse Grip Tricep Pushdowns, Tues - Rest, Wed - Seated Overhead Barbell Tricep Extensions, Thurs -Rest, etc.

What u guys in the know think? To little for a beginner? What else could I or should I be eating to bulk up my guns!?  :-[

I keep reading that oatmeal is good, and beans too?
Title: Re: health/working out

Beans is great. Tuna and oisters too as well as cottage cheese full of proteins.

Yeah I never had a personal trainer or anything, I learned everything by myself, which takes longer but it's probably more exciting that way, than to know everything from the scratch. I am still learning a lot and like somebody else said, going to the gym is one of the best feelings in the world, I'm gonna do it as long as my body can take it.

You can stay at about 11-13% bf if you want and still be gaining lean body mass, you dont have to keep on bulking and cutting if you dont want too. BUT your diets gotta be 1000% strict and your training has to be really good too. Do cardio like 3 times a week, make sure your lifting enough and not too much, dont cheat as often. If you keep on doing that, you wont have to keep bulking and cutting. You'll be gaining mainly muscle with VERY little fat!!!

Before and after, before because while you workout your muscles will be getting fed, but more so after because your muscles are gonna be feinin to get fed even more. Eat a good carb/protein meal 30-45 minutes before your workout and then after your workout take the shake!!!

You must take whey proteins right after the workout because the muscle's need em and whey proteins get in your blood circulation very fast, that's why you take them only right after the workout. And they're harmless, like Johnny said you use them everyday and every athlete takes them. Besides that I take fish oil caps (they're really hard to get from normal food, pluis they're really good for you heart, chorestelol level, vain system), multvitamins and a mix of different proteins (just in case I have a busy day, you take them instead of a normal food protein meal).

BTW somebody should sticky this topic, so that it's like an official workout section on Dubcc.

Yeah, even the lite tastes good and it doesn't have as much sugar.  The only bad thinng is that it becomes a little expensive after a while.  One thing you could do if you dont have enough time to make a shake, is drink chocolate milk.

you guys also have to remember to stretch your muscles your working on, stretch your chest, your arms 
getting 2 big can inhibit range of motion (ROM) stretching prevents this, and decreases soreness..

It sucks very much.  I injured my knee in the middle of last year training for a marathon and I'm barely starting to feel better.  I've gained about 15lbs. and my knees feel like shit trying to get back to running.

Oh shit this thread is back. Well just a little update on my behalf.

- I am bulding muscle mass since November, when from 86 kg to 95 in 3 months. My goal is to get quality muscle mass at 100kg, max. 105 kg till May, June

- Eating habits: 235 grams of protein, 250g carbs, 190g of healthy fatt. As you can see I am not using so much carbs because when I had like 350 carbs I was tired and sleepy all the time. How do you calculate how much to eat ?

a) body weight * 35= 95 *35= 3325 calories (which means an average I should eat per day is 3325cal)

b) If you're buliding muscle mass you need to have more than the ammount in a), if you're dieting less.

c) proteins * 4= 235 * 4= 940; carbs= 250 * 4= 1000, healthy fat= 190 * 9== 1710
sum= 3650. Which means I have about 300 cals in sufficit. How much depends from person to person; especially metabolism. I can gain wieght easilly so I don't have to eat that many extra calories

d) supplements: proteins, carb powder (I take these 2 after workout), fish oil caps, vitamin c and calcium + magnesium

e) Don't forget to drink lots of water and eat vegetables so you can take a shit like a king  ;D


Just some tips for all the fellow gym rats.

^^ yeah you always come thru. So you gained 9 pounds in 3 months, i gained 10 in 6.

I guess i should realy srta calculaitng what i eat.

Is powders nessecry? And if so they are all natural right os i dont have to worry about side effects ie, headaces, sweats, palpiations or such??

HOw do you stay constabnt with what you eat, its damn hard what with work and everything.

HOw do you stay constabnt with what you eat, its damn hard what with work and everything.

I would say it's very useful after the workout. Because you need the proteins and carbs to get in your blood fast and powder is the only way. And you shouldn't worry about these 2 powders, you eat it every day in normal food. I don't fuck with anything else like creatine, BCAA, glutamin; simply because I don't know what it is and I plan to go study for a nutricionist in 3 years and untill I know everything about that, I am not eating anything else then protein and carb powder.

I don't work (I'm in college) but most of the time I also have a fucked up schedule and I always work in the summer for 3 months, 8 hours. It's not hard at all: you wake up in the morning and you eat your breakfast (consitent of proteins, carbs and healthy fat). Then the easiest thing to do is take some protein powder, some oatmeal and nuts and you mix that shit in a blender with water and you've got yourself a great meal. So to sum up, we have breakfast at 7.00 in the morning, 1st shake at 11.00 and 2nd one at 14.00. Let's say you get home at 17.00 and then you make yourself a lunch with meat, rice and vegies.

Word on the oatmeal i started eating it? Why is it so good tho?

My breakfest now consists of 1 banana, bowl of oatmeal and a yogourt or 2 with a orange juice.

then ill eat once at work once when i get home and then another time after the gym.

So i think a shake here and there could help uh?

Have you just started doing these excersises with dumbells ? If so, it usually takes a couple times before you get a hang of it and becomes a routine. Just use small weights in the beginning and you should be just fine.

glutamine is simple a recovery agent. And I just came back from the gym...hit chest n bi's.  135 warm up for 15 reps, 185 for 12, 225 for 8 and 275 for 3.

here's a tip on buying protein powders from GNC.. do not get the 70g or 60 or 50 g protein joint for 80$$$ !!!
 

your body wont be able to consume all that protein in one sitting. your body's only going to absorb about 35g or so and the rest is going to get released in your waste. its way better to get the 20-35g joints at walmart and drink that 2 or 3 times throughout the day

I've also been hearing mixed results, I've never used, I heard it can damagae your kidneys if not used properly. And it sound like to much chemistry to me anways, I don't see the pleasure of being buff when you're using so many unnatural supplements.

^^^ damn son how tall are you? 30 pounds in not so much time i ganed 20 in a year and a few months.

5'9".  i just got hooked man, straight up drug.  went to bodybuilding.com and picked up mad game as someone suggested on dubcc.(i forget who)  and my cousin is an avid gym rat, he can squat 500 lbs and is 5' 10' 210lbs.

im on the bulking stage right now.  when i get to 165, i will start my cutting.  however, it is good that im still only at 10%, cutting will be cupcake(8pack lookin good!) plus im doing muay thai, thats major conditioning.

how often do you workout, do you go through the bulking and cutting phase?
