myo-plex is really good to take post workout within an hour. it replenishes everything you lost in the workout and all around gains you muscle

protein, creatine, & glutamine. 1.5 grams of protein for every lb of your body weight. lift heavy for bulk, lift light and repetitious for cut. thats the most generic answer I can give you. search bodybuilding.com for more info.

and yes I work out.

i work out.  a ton of cardio, biking and running.  i'm joining a gym tomorrow, so then i'll go every day or so to work out.  i also do a lot of stuff to strengthen my core.  like planks and sit ups, and all that stuff you can do with a medicine ball.  people seem to forget that your core is one of the most important parts of your body to get strong.  i also do lift a little, although i hate it.

i lift weights everyday, chest and tricepts one day, back and biceps the next. i also run four miles everyday, and ten miles one day a week. when i lift, i do my workout in circuits, so i do one set of about 10 different lifts. and i do that 4 times, with 2 ab exercises mixed into the circuit. and when im finished, i do about ten minutes worth of ab workouts. then i swim for 20 minutes.

when i get home i make a protein shake with some cheap ass stuff from costco, i mix it with frozen berries, ice, and water. make sure to take your protein within an hour after you lift to get the best results. but there's no magic, you dont need to go spend 100 bucks at gnc getting pump fuel or no explode or riduculously expensive protein. work hard and it'll show.

i highly reccomend all of that.

i lift about 4-5 days a week. honestly it's my favorite thing to do in the world aside from skiing. I've been doing whey protein since junior year of HS (i just graduated college) and creatine cycles on and off occasionally. I'm pretty muscular at this point but I'd like to put on another 10 pounds to be honest (i'm 5'11", 165 lbs.). I can't say enough about working out, it helps with everything. Helps your confidence, helps you to stay healthy, helps your skiing, helps you get girls, helps me to focus on school. It's the best.

I try and keep my workouts mostly natural and no gym type exercises. Usually I start with a little 15 minute jog to a park. At the park I do a couple sets of pushups, a couple sets of situps. Then I do some stretches and jog back to my house. At my house I do squats, frog jumper things, and curls.

1. Form

2. Dedication

Start by analyzing why you want to start "working out" and where you want it to take your body. Everybody and their mother wants to run out and buy a supplement to do the work for them; worry about supplements after you start a consistent program. Bodybuilding.com has a lot of great information I suggest you start there.

"Getting big", "toned", "ripped" ect. takes a lot of time and dedication. If it was easy everyone would look jacked. Don't worry about how much weight you can lift, worry about doing the exercise correctly and following your workouts through to completion. Everything else will come in time.

Supplements are a great tool to use and are very helpful, but don't depend on them to help you reach your goals. An hour and a half in the gym daily will do much more for you than you might expect. After experimenting with different types of supplements I personally find cycling creatine and taking protein works the best for me.

creatine is pretty gnarly, after a while it can mess up your liver and stuff
work hard and get lots of protein and you'll be good

I hate working out. I did it for a semester like seven years ago, and that was pretty much that. instead, i just run a bunch, play tennis, climb, do a lot of outdoor shit, and that seems to keep me pretty damn fit.

i find that typing, especially in CAPS and rapid mouse movements allow for all the upper body strength you need.

as for legs, get a rolly chair and spin around, or if your feeling robust, roll around the room.



jk, i keep two 25s in my room 4 whenever i feel like in getting fat

as far as gaining weight and bulking up try eating over 5,000 calories a day and close to 1-2g of protein per lb. of body weight.

for supps, take Cytosport Cytogainer at night or Universal Real Gains at night - these 54g+ of protein shakes will hell the anabolic rate of gaining muscle/weight and rebuilding/strengthening sore muscles after that days workout. at night is when your metabolism is at its lowest and these 600cal high protein shakes will help with that. Take whey protein in the morning within 30mins of waking up, in the after noon about 2hrs before workout and immediately after workout with water (the ther times with milk or soymilk which is healthier). I used SizeOn during workout which is a creatine powder and i noticed a bigger increase in size of my frame maybe others didnt, but by the end of the can in 1 month.

if yo are just starting id recommend: Optimum Nutrition 100% whey its #1 choice for high quality whey for last 2 years or so and is at your local GNC. Also try stacking with a creatine monohydrate pill to help grow muscle faster and gain that size you want if thats what yo are looking for.

my workout

monday- chest, tri's, abs
tuesday- back,shoulders
wednesday-legs, abs
thursday-bi's,shoulders
friday-chest,back,abs

its good to mix it up after a couple weeks with different weights even lighter weights and really fast reps to help stimulate and use the fast flexor muscles and incase you fel you are plateauing - try different exercises and mix up your day to day routine.



remember-quality over quantity

hope this helps.

hmmm, to become a sexy beast such as me (lol-but seriously), climb, core workout stuff, bike, swim, and just do stuff. but i now pose a question, any other good leg workout options? probably more skiing directed.

Get a membership at a gym. Lift and get a nice mix of cardio in there too. There's this thing program in my town called acceleration that I do. It whips my ass into shape super fast, so if you can try to find workouts like that. Most gyms have classes that you can do too. And when you are done working out drink a protein shake. If you hate the taste of those like I do then add alternatives to your shakes like flax seed and such, which is better for you and adds even more protein then the regular powder stuff.

not unless you take retarded amounts of it. your bodily gets creatine naturally from dietary meats but most people benefit from taking 3-5 grams of it on workout days.

A strange exercise i've discovered that works well for me is to perform bicep curls/tricep stuff while on the balance board. engages your core and lower body and is just all around entertaining

please no god, no no no.

creatine is naturally produced by our liver by combining the three amino acids arginine, glycine and methynine (sp?) which we get naturally from mostly animal meat. what it does is help cycle the ADP back in ATP so that our muscles can use it for energy therefore giving us more strength/endurance when weightlifting. im not goin to go into the chemical processes of ATP but basically the chemical reaction gives our muscles energy. the average person has about 120 grams of creatine stored in there muscles and liver right now. but that is not considered muscle saturation. if you want to fully saturate your muscles and take advantage of the extra strength then you should take 3-5 grams of creatine on your workout days. creatine is in no way a steroid however you must make sure to drink plenty of water as the creatine acts almost like  a sponge and can dehydrate you.
