HELP ME GAIN LEAN MUSCLE!!!

[meat12]

Actually bro, I did answer your question for ya maybe not in full though. You said you train six days a week..Which yeah is too much …cut down the routine a bit. I gave you the other half of what you will need to do to achieve your goal, training and nutrition go hand in hand. If your training too much yes you will have a hard time gaining. But even if you you were training just as you should and you don’t have proper calorie intake..you will not achieve your goal. My bad if I was being a dick about it, caught me on a bad day. Alright good luck man I’m out

[b]If your a serious athlete that does'nt want to cut back on your cardio I dont see why you would want to gain more muscle. muscle=weight which will slow you down.

That is a misconception, muscle doesnt slow you down.


You cannot gain muscle without gaining some fat!

I would say your definately going to need to cut your cardio. You do alot. Including your biking. I never really saw you eat up there, other than a snack, which tells me you might not been eating nearly enough. I don't know if you ever saw P at the front desk at night but basically all he did was stand there and eat. He has a hell of time putting on weight with his metabolism so high. I don't know if you saw my thread about getting help with my diet but as I found out is still needed some real improvement. Post your diet in the nutrition section and work with the help here to get it together to achieve your goals. It will take some time and patience and but there is alot of help here.

what in the blue hell did you just say? please explain, i'm dying to hear this...

[Shibby]

I really don't know. It has I think like 120 carbs in one drink. It made by ABB (american body building). The lady that does the pro shop/Merchandise for the gyms was telling me about it. They sell alot in the two locations in the city (SF, Cali). She was saying something about it was due to that. I was just more making a point to him of why that location carries a large selection in flavors and a stock of it in the back. I didn't sell but a few when I was working at that location.

Its simply a carb drink bro. Just like any other carb drink it is used pre and post workout to replenish glycogen stores. I think that lady is talking jiberish.

Your diet is your problem. You're eating like a bird. You need to eat more for breakfast like 6-8 egg whites making two of those whole eggs. Start eating more protein with every meal.

To be more precise: eat 30 grams of protein 7 times a day about every 2 1/2 hours. Add to that your normal carbs. If you feel tired eat more carbs. If your bodyfat starts increasing eat less carbs.

Do not eat less protein!

Considering stats and diet stated so far, you must be gifted, so you should grow like a weed!

I figured she didn't know what she was talking about. That's why I didn't ask anything else.

You ever hear people say stuff and it just kind of stuns you because it makes no sense and you just let it go? That's basically what it felt like.

but if you knew it was nonsense, you shouldn't go around repeating it...

ya shib, again i dont mean to keep riding you about this but you stated your comment above as fact, not as something some dumb women said.

[Shibby]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Got distracted from this being a public board and was talking to him personally. I went back and re-read alot of it and there was alot I left assumed between him and I.

i think what shibby said makes sense, people with aids have immuno deficiency. if the little immune system they have is used fighting off every little cold imaginable cuz it could possibly kill them, it makes sense that would use alot of energy. energy equals carbs, hence the drinks. aids do run rampant in san fran and shibb is right, i asked the stock lady at our gym and they sell mass amounts of those drinks there.....

[MDAM21]

so 30 grams 7 times a day huh. i eat alot of bars and protein shakes and really only have real food for lunch and dinner, maybe a couple bannanas and a couple yogurts a day. should i be eating different stuff? like can my body only recept a maximum amount of protein through that manufactured shit? should i have more "real food". i have been eating hardboiled eggs in the morning, which i think is helping. i've gained a pound since i put this post up and lost one percent body fat, im now at 9.7. i will try to get a pic up asap so u guys can see im not bull shitting

i'm sorry - if you really want to learn, don't listen to the "lady who works at the pro shop" because she's obviously a moron.

#1. you are giving into the misconception that AIDS is only a gay man's disease and therefore "rampant" in san fran. recent statistics show that AIDS is mainly a growing disease in poor black communities.

#2. it makes no sense that people with AIDS would need a carbo force. they sell mass amounts of the drinks because a lot of people like the energy it gives them through the workout. not because they have AIDS. if AIDS patients need anything, it is nutrients that give them energy. not sugar. i don't know enough about the wasting disease associated with AIDS but i can tell you that it makes no logical sense that Carbo Forces would be used to help combat that.

#3. go complain about that lady at the pro shop because she's spreading mumbo jumbo and making her and the gym look like idiots, especially if trainers at your gym are going around telling people that Carbo Force are for people with AIDS.

eat more real food.

and you should be aiming for more than 30g's of protein. 30 grams is about 3oz (cooked) of chicken. that's like 3 bites. 1 cooked chicken breast is about 5oz. that's more appropriate and if you're bulking, should be eating closer to 2 chicken breasts per meal.

[MDAM21]

ok, so then my question is can i just eat chicken all day? like can i go: shake, then one hour later 2 chicken breasts, then an hour after that a bar, then have chicken again? or is it possible to over kill on that too
