Cant seem to gain muscle
I have lost 100 lbs. I weigh 145, 5'6" now and am a male 61 years old. I am trying to gain muscle and not fat, so lifting moderate weights and eating a lot of protein. I am very toned but can't seem to gain mass. Ive been told that after age 60 you will not gain much muscle. Is that the consensus? Thanks

Just back from a weekend helping our son move house. Worked my butt off all weekend. I'm too shattered to shop or cook and can't face another takeout meal so,for dinner tonight I'm having porridge,a protein shake,a yoghurt and some chocolate. In my head I know it's a perfectly adequate meal but I can hear my mum's voice at…

Lean muscle... as opposed to what??
Struggling to understand / not be annoyed by the concept of "building lean muscle". As opposed to what?? Building chubby muscles? Surely muscle by definition is lean. Any bulk either comes from accompanying fat or just building more muscle. No?? Am I missing something??

Doies Bulking Get Too Much Press?
Would appreciate some thoughts. There is a lot of discussion on forums, articles on line, in magazines, etc on bulking. Many of the posters on here and many of the experts would suggest a male should not begin a bulk until they are in the 10-12% bf range. Looking around most gyms and even more on the streets, beaches, etc,…

Pre-Workout Drinks are a scam
I'm sure most of you will disagree with me on this but hear me out. Only over the past couple or three years have pre-workouts become really popular. 4 to 5 years ago people really weren't drinking pre-workouts and you never really heard much about them. It's funny that people go to the gym to get healthy yet they put in a…

Lose Chubby Cheeks
So I've begun the process of bulking and I'm trying to consume 3500 calories to do this. However I've noticed I have chubby cheeks which I may think is because of water retention. I've read that drinking water and cutting down on sugar and salt will help lose the chubby cheeks. Will I still be able to put on mass, whilst…

The PED questions I get
Let's set the record straight since so many people either comment or write me accusing me of being on steroids so my advice is to others is worthless. Have I done steroids.... yep! Not ashamed or afraid to admit it. With that being said, I am not on a cycle nor have I been for almost 2 years now. And I won't go on them…

I accidentally bulked..
Ok, so I really just failed at staying in maintenance and then at going into a deficit once I realized I was gaining. I'd say I put on about ten pounds in say, six months. I'm pretty sure I gained a little bit of muscle along the way though! I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go back to the BodPod to see just what…

thoughts on IIFYM? Is it just as effective as clean dieting?
Hey guys, im 18 and I just recently started working out. Im around 5 months in and have gained 20 pounds. I haven't really gained any bodyfat but I'm still not looking that big. Maybe it's just the typical bodybuilder's perception of always thinking that they dont look big enough. But anyways, I'm eating roughly 3300…
