Well I hope he has a mentor to show him exercises in the gym, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If he doesn't lose any weight, but cuts out *kitten* foods. He'll actually build some muscle, and then do a caloric deficit by 200-300 calories then when the weight comes off, he'll actually have baby muscles. And good…

I'm more about working them in, showing them the gym and making better choices in the kitchen first. Then once they get into a routine of making better choices, then have them learn how to count calories... that's just me I guess, I'm not saying your wrong, I'd just go about it a little differently.

Try MASS JYM or just make your own weight gainer. Milk or water, protein powder, peanut butter, almonds, bananas, honey, cinnamon, whatever you can think of and blend it up

I'm talking for beginners bro... I've been into fitness for a while now, I know what works and what doesn't. I ain't a child, it's not bro science.. Trying to be a nice as possible, but you're telling me what I'm saying is bro science, and I never once said what you said is wrong...

A kid? Who just started training? Maybe for some advice...
-
I practice what I preach, and it works for me. So I only pass on what works, it may not work for everyone and I understand that. But, I would also let someone know if something didn't work, or I think it's not beneficial. At the end of the day, it's trial and error, what works for you may not work for me, vice versa.. This…

Counting calories is tedious for those who've been in the game a long time, for beginners... I would not recommend it, clean up the diet, get on a good program, get into a routine of making better choices... Consistency will lead to results, and results will boost self esteem, then that's what gets people addicted. But I…

Yeah, good one

If I were you, I would personally focus on just getting to the gym, and cutting the garbage foods out. Not saying you eat them but if you do (cupcakes, cookies, donuts, soda, chips, etc..) just cut them out, drink tons of water and get on a workout program. Once you maintain a consistent routine, diet, and gym time... then…

Alright well first off, I train in the afternoon. I have breakfast which is mostly fats and protein, then before my workout I get some carbs. I don't like to eat a lot and go to the gym, it has a negative effect on my training. Fast digesting carbs, slow digesting carbs, little fat, little protein... I just never felt…
-
I take it where it is combined with a pre and post workout formula. So if you take it straight, you're correct. Doesn't matter when you consume it, I still would take it pre and post tho..

I eat very light before going to the gym, normally a PB&J sandwich with 1.5 scoops of my pre workout. I do a push, pull, legs. So I'm burning tons of calories.. I go heavy on my first exercise for each body part, normally in the 4-6 rep range, with 2-3 minutes between sets. After the first exercise of each body part, its…

I'm in a 500+ caloric surplus a day, goal is to get bigger but minimize body fat as much as possible.

Creatine is a great supplement, I like HCL. Monohydrate is good, tends to bloat people a bit, but if you can deal with the bloating, take the Monohydrate. It'll definitely put some size on you and you will get stronger over time. You'll see noticeable improvements in strength and size within 4 weeks. Monohydrate and HCL…

BCAA's or just Leucine will not hurt, and the risk vs reward factor is on its side. I mean cardio for me is a must, 4 days a week, 130 minutes, always after my weight training. So my glycogen levels are most likely fully depleted after an hour push, pull, or legs workout. So I really believe that it's a great idea to…
-
I mean you could take straight Leucine, which helps maintain muscle mass. No one really wants to sacrifice muscle mass, really do cardio to minimize body fat. So I would recommend at least taking 1 to 2 servings of Leucine while doing cardio.
-
Yeah, that's about the same for me as well. 2-3 cups and I'm ready to take on my day
-
That makes two of us my friend
-
Big fan of columbian roast for sure, the darker and more bold the better for me lol
-
I'm with ya, I've done all the hazelnut, and French vanilla, pumpkin spice (which is actually my favorite) but black is just the best... Can't beat it
-
If ya have some free time, I'll take one of those. Sounds pretty damn amazing
-
Sometimes those things happen, I feel ya brother
-
Work will do that to ya ehh, I know all about it haha
-
For sure!
-
That would have me up for days lol

Squats, which will recruit a lot more muscles than just the quads; like glutes, hamstrings, and core... But, can be done with dumbbells, barbell, and the smith machine. A good isolation exercise for the quads are leg extensions. Also, try the leg press, light weight, and keep your feet low on the press. The closer your…
-
I do it 4 times a week... 130 minutes a week.. I guess I'm Superman.
-
HIIT is a technique in which you give all out 100% effort in quick, intense bursts of exercise... followed by, short sometimes more than active recovery periods. Which gets and keeps your heart rate up, and burns more fat in less time. Sounds a little like what I just explained yeah?
-
Lol

So what you're telling me is... A run which should be a sprint for 30 seconds or 1 minute, followed by a jog for 30 seconds or 1 minute... That type of pace for 20 to 30 minutes, not including the warm up nor the cool down, is not high intensity?
