Sure u can learn how to cook but in the meantime those are some suggestions.

I use to drink the shit out of protein shakes

Id take some chocolate and put it in the blender, Id add Ice to make it smooth and cold, Id add 3 raw eggs and a tablespoon of peanut butter and mix it up

it would taste like a peanut butter chocolate smoothie, was great!

Im gonna invest in some protein powder when I get somemoney and start back doing that.

In that case, eat breakfast,lunch and dinner and drink a shake sometime in between breakfast and lunch and sometime before u go to bed.

invest in some cook books, follow the instructions and it is basically trial and error stuff. but eventually it will be good.

i love sport
i run a lot
i play soccer and tennis like 4 times a week

but i CAN'T go work out
thats one of the reason i stopped soccer, it was getting too serious (national champ) and coaches were asking for 2 work outs a week  4 training session ...

i hate working out
it's gay
it's full of sweating men
it's full of dirty ness

and what i hate the most , 90% of people working out : THEY DONT DO ANY SPORT
they just work out to .... i dunno ... get girls ? have muscles ?

i can't work out. it's boring. gay. like tyler durden said it's masturbation.

the only thing cool is that with friends, we go there and pretend we're doing commercial for gym machines, like chuck noris ads and stuff lol


i'm not even gonna start about protein diet and working out diet .... come on ... our world is already so fake. can't be just eat normal stuff.

fake boobs. fake muscles. fake food. fake teeth

peace

Can't decide if you sound like a homophobe or a whiny valley girl...

To be... healthy? Fit? In shape?  People who don't do sports need exercise too, besides, I think the majority of the people that work out DO play sports.  Also, you don't like girls?  You don't like to look the best you can?

I must admit, that IS cool.

Not only are we living in a world that gets fatter by the second, but the people who are actually living a healthy life are "fake"?

Trust me, mikegiulana and D both have 100% real boobs.

lol
i forgot to note that i was just being extreme on my comments.

1 - im not homophobic
1.5 - im not gay
2 - im not a valley girl
3 - i like valley girls

it's just taht i dont like the atmosphere in the working out area
and about sweat and dirtyness, i havethe right not oo like it


be healthy ?
- you can be healthy without working out : walking,  do some REAL sport, eat normally

i look good without muscles. i like looking the best i can that revolves around : clothes, cleanness, and style
but muscles doesn't do it for me

if you really do a real sport that needs to be super muscular ok.
but for everyday life ?
when i was in the us, i saw all these dudes working out and trying to look like schwarzeneger (with pills and drugs) for no reason.

about FAKE aspect.
it's just that more and more, people are using artificial methods or drugs helpers to achieve becoming what they wanna be.

they whithen (sp?) their teeth
they get implants
they take drugs to be bigger and stronger

im sure in 10 years people will buy real looking masks to look like pretty people.


and again, im not saying every person that works out is a dummy. it's just that i dont like the concept of it when it's not for professional or advanced class sport.

d ronnie coleman has one nasty physique.. he's a one big mmofo but I would never want that build.. I love how he is now whoring it for BSN.. I happen to think the bsn line is quite good, but he just took the money like cutler did with muscle tech..

[D]

I wouldnt wanna look like Ronnie Coleman or any of those guys either

I guess Ronnie is trying to cash in and make as much money as he can while his window of opportunity is still strong.

I mean what will he do once his body building career is over?

I havent tried any BSN line products but Id say Ronnie has done a little more than BSN products to look like he does.

[mikegiuliana]

I have tried two products but haven't used the entire mass stack from bsn.. They make cellmass and NO-explode and these pump pills called Nitrix. The last one is what I am missing..

I think vic martinez has a great build.. Gustavo badell, or the amazing lee priest.. The two guys to me with great freakish all around mass is branch warren and johnnie jackson

[SLCPUNK]

Drink tons of water (besides the obvious health benefits) it is good for your kidneys if you are drinking those protein shakes.

I have something wrong with my right wrist (insert blind joke here) but it has stopped me from  really getting aggresive with building my biceps. Curls are almost impossible, and free weights are getting out of the question (only for biceps though). Any suggestions?

[D]

get a woman and save those wrists!

u knew that was coming

Really no solution but to just rest and let em heal, it sucks but unless u just go really light on weight or tough it out, I dont have any other ideas.

Hurts too damn much to tough out. It is impossible. I can't lift light objects without serious pain. Only way it goes away is when I quit doing biceps. Very frustrating.

Happened to my left wrist a couple years back, but I was not lifting then. Not sure what it is.

[mikegiuliana]

go to the doctor or use ez curl bars or cables.. if it hurts so much then you have an injury or tendonitis.

Or use wraps or some type of wrist wrap to keep it stiff..

[mikegiuliana]

anyone buy products at say gnr, vitamin shop/? I have been checking for cheaper prices and  prosource.com looks good

[D]

I always order from Prosource

U get amazing deals and wholesale savings.

what u pay 40 bucks for at GNC u can get for 20-25 at prosource. I highly recommend ordering from them, they have everything u want.

[mikegiuliana]

yeah NO explode, cellmass and nitrix are quite expensive at gnc... NO n cellmass are like 60 each.. All my shit is going from prosource...

D do you read MD? I love the ramblin freak gregg

[mikegiuliana]

I just recieved Pump_tech a muscle tech product to go with my NO explosion n cell mass from BSN.. It has some crazy dosages.. if you weight over 200 pounds they suggest 16 pills 2 times daily.. One dose before a workout.. One later.. I have decided to just take 4 pills before my workout and none later..

Prosource.net is definetly the shit for supplements..

What do you goes suggest to get my calfs to pop more?

Reps? Weight?

Do I do more reps to make them pop?

I can do heavy weight and low reps, but see little results.

What say you?

What say you?

I believe calves are somewhat genetic kind of like forearms. When you mean "pop" you mean stick out look ripped or just complete? I suggest higer reps just like legs..? The upper body imo reacts beter to lower reps like as low as 6 to as high as 12, lower half is more with higher reps.. Standing calf raises might be what I would go heaviest on, then using the bottom of the leg press I wouldget peak contraction on the top and stretch deep on the bottom (no rocking), even one legged calf raises with a? dumbell in hand and finally seated calf raise up to three times a week.. I think a few body parts like calves n forearms abs are good to hit multiple times per week.. Ditching the sneakers on certain calf movements is important too..

[D]

Ive always said I have a better chance of my dick growing than my forearms and traps.

somethings grow easy and fast on some, and just never seem to on others.


do exactly what MIke said hell I think Ill start doing that as well, really excellent workout plan for the calves their mike.

Ive had problems staying motivated here lately

i quit drinking coke for 8 days, watched what I ate, exercised like a maniac and gained 2 pounds

Im so aggravated

I cant get any lower than what I am and I need to lose 10-15 more pounds but it is seeming impossible and Im getting discouraged

Im wanting to drop around 3 more inches from my waist as well but I guess Ive reached my limit or something cause it isnt coming down no matter what I try

Ive had the same measurements and weight for the last year and a half and it is very discouraging.

any ideas?

[mikegiuliana]

just eat right dude, up teh cardio a bit.. A pound of fat is like 3,500 calories an hour of regular pace work on say the treadmill will burn about 500 calories so you need a week to lose a pound.. Pretty crazy right? Well the fact is you could lose more weight but who wants to sacrafice whatever gains you have made?

I workout each morning very early because of a shitty scheduel.. I start at 4am in the morning but before (half hour before) I drink a few bcaa's(with simple sugars), No explode, and take a few pump tech pills.. I then go to the gym and usually bring a 32 ounce bottle of water with some liquid bcaa's and do my hard ass workout.. Cellmass right after then my simple carbs with whey protein shake, glutamine..

My first meal after is 2 whole eggs + 8 whites with a little salad and either brown rice or a baked potato..
everything after is basically 6 ounce chicken breasts with brown rice, or bake potato ,sometimes oatmeal.... I juggle that for the next 3-4 meals.. The rest of the meals are spaced out from about 2-3 hours each day plus I take some digestive enzymes.

Towards say 5pm on I will have some tuna with some cut up veggie and maybe *mustard*(supposed to help promote fat loss) and brocoli and stay away from teh starchy long lasting carbs (potatos rice )

By around 8pm my meals are liquid now just designer whey and some bcaa's...

That was a basic outline of my diet... Eggs are great protein right after lifting... Rice or potatos are good during the busier hours.. Veggies like spinach, brocoli, esparagus are better towards the less active times of the day

Just watch what you eat, eat clean cut carbs down at the right times.. Cardio is best done when you first wake up, you have some protein and you stay carb free and your body will burn fat instead of the new energy..



traps

First off never mind weight, go by feel.. Grab a dumbell like 50-60 pounds start with palms faced in and do 20 reps, then move up 5's each time with a peack contraction each time, I also do hammer shurgs on abench press front and back, also sometimes I shgrug the 45's laying around keeping the hands tight to my side. of course regular bar shrugs just don't worry about weight feel teh movement... deadlift, deadlift, deadlift that is a key to trap size..

stick in there man sometimes it takes a long time to see changes, when you see decreases that's the time to worry.

When I have problems  I always go back to basics I check to i have postitive balance make sure I am in a muscle building zone at all times even outside of the gym.. I make sure I am not going to the gym without 25-30 grams of protein, 50-100 grams of carbs, my bcaa's, my pre workout NO or pump tech... I make sure to have all these things in place so I am in a muscle building mode.. making sure to get ample sleep is important too, after my workout, I mean immediatly I take in my cellmass, muscle is craving and ready for consumption.. ten minutes after the post workout shake, the glutamine the whey, the simple sugars(white bread is good wtih some jelly also) right after is when simple sugars are great with no fat because that slows down energy consumption.. That is why a milkyway would suck.. I wrote this in parts always adding soemthing.. Just make sure evrything possible for building msucle is always in place and don't overtrain..

[D]

I dont know what u do for a living mike but if u ever get tired of it, u would be one damn good personal trainer to the stars.

I guess I have that Adonis complex or whatever its called where I want the absolute perfect body so I get frustrated at times with the slightest imperfection.

I am gonna write down what u just posted and I am gonna try that.


So if u are gonna eat carbs eat em early in the day right?


so carbs in the afternoon arent as bad for u as eating carbs at night? is that correct?

anyway thanks a lot and Im gonna see if I cant get jumpstarted and lose that access 10 pounds so i can look more ripped.

thanks!
