Personally I buy unflavoured impact whey protein (from myprotein.com), the protein itself has very little taste And is also cheap (£12 for 1kg), then I just add Nesquick and believe it or not I actually enjoy the protein shakes! They go down a treat.

Incredible stuff, this is how it's done, more specifically, this is how everything is done :smile:

At what point should i consider myself an intermediate lifter? Time frames probably won't work for me as i have been on and off strength training. I'm still making gains on squat and deadlift, but stalling on bench. I currently weigh 66kg (145 lbs), squat 100kg (220lbs)x5, deadlift 110kg (242lbs)x5, and bench 66kg…

You're not a failure, the only true failures in life are never trying, give yourself some credit. You've earned it. Also i second the recommendation of strength training and believe that it may hold the key to the success and goals you are talking about.

Judging by the fact you are on a body part split routine, working out 6 days a week is fine. The only real indication of over training (which i believe to be an over taxing of the central nervous system) is a decrease in strength over subsequent weeks, if this is not occurring and progression is continuous, you're doing…

... Eat your dog instead.

Great doc, i saw this a while ago but the information is more relevant and interesting to me now, many thanks.

Caloric surplus and resistance training, need i say more. Beyond that it is just about finding what works for you, what you enjoy (exercises and diet wise), making small adjustments, and making it happen.

Kk gonna try a slight surplus calories and see where I go from there, thanks

Didn't I mention I am pregnant?

If you are looking to lose your love handles whilst building your glutes then I recommend you start a program including squats, deadlifts and possibly include some cardio, but don't bulk. Just Eat at maintenance calories and squat, with some cardio, and you will build bigger glutes whilst minimising/losing body fat.

Oh, and please check my profile for my pics on body type. Ty

Awww, I saw the two posts and thought maybe I already did :,( We'll see...

Great find on that vid, thanks :D

Ok, gathering that i'm fairly content with my current bf% (for the moment) i think i'm going to hit the strength training with high calories for some months, or until i'm happy with my mass. Anyway thanks for the replies everyone, wish me luck. And i think it's about time i went anabolic, and hit the sack. Night.

If you're really bricking it, i'm sure that half the time spent waiting to get on the rides, and also whilst on the ride, your heart rate and respiration is elevated, not to mention adrenaline, so it's possible. but a very unorthodox weight loss plan.

@brillmer 17 yrs 5ft 9in 135lbs workout 3 days a week, all full body workouts. The stronglifts 5x5 routine if you've heard of it. And i've just started. Goals: gain 1-2lb mass per month, with as little fat gain as possible.

Hell of a transformation bud, and thanks for tha advice

to tarekstein that was

Hey thanks, just wondering, for my height and weight, what kind of calories should i be getting for a cut and should i include cardio (once i've bulked up that is)?

Hehe, well if that wasn't motivating enough i don't know what is, thanks for the advice, think i'm going for a bulk.

Definitely the squat rack, much more free range of motion, causes you to use more stabilization muscles etc. to balance the weight. Which in my opinion helps to build a more balanced physique, not to mention lifting weights, rater than using machines, is probably more beneficial for most sports due to the naturalness of…

I'm pretty light for my height, 135lbs 5ft 9in As for my bf% i have some of those electric scales that measure conductivity in your body to find bf% I know it's not incredibly accurate but they are pretty consistent and it seems right for me.

Ok, cheers guys, appreciate the advice. Think i'll go for adding muscle first and losing fat second then, thanks.

anyone?..
