[Fatpanda]

Yes he is quite the nutrition expert isn't he - shame he looks like a beached whale.

[Fatpanda]

[Fatpanda]

Funny how you are actually fatter than jason kaplan haha

funny how you post on a bodybuilding board - and dont actually lift weight 

[Fatpanda]

Funny how you post about body-building - yet your body is built with lard

funny how you are in denial about being a bisexual with a taste for the 'younger' sex of any kind.

[Fatpanda]

HAHAHA...these last couple of posts made me laugh....you two crack me up.

[MCWAY]

im sick and tired of working out consistently for years and making only tiny gains. i know my genetics suck but im going to try something which i have often ridiculed- im gonna eat protein every 3 hours consistently, and eat much more calories in general. i might gain fat but i dont care, i can lose it all just by skipping a few meals and sleeping on an empty stomach.
has this actually worked for anyone?
if this doesnt work i know only steroids can help me.

I did that years ago. At least 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. If you're doing that will little result, try 1.25 grams/pound of bodyweight. Go up gradually; don't make a HUGE jump at once, or it's tummy-ache time.

What is your body structure (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph)? Current bodyweight? Height?

[gib]

I have, although I now think its less important than I used to. I would reccomend a balanced diet and training as key, and of course correct use of steroids as being most effective for gains.

[buffdnet]

then i guess im at or near my natural limit since i havent gained weight or strength in years. what a disappointmen lol, im way too small still.

need to find steroids...

i was gonna say your at your natural limit or close to.
then again that also depends. if your opposed to putting on
some body fat then you will never max out your natural base.
use roids and your not going to compete or don't have the potential
to make a living from bb, is lame as hell. put your health on the line
for how you look in a mirror? LAME

I wonder ow Xerxes and Fatpanda would act toward eachother if they ever met in real life. 

[buffdnet]

LMAO @ angry whale post

are those legal to hunt and kill?

[ThaRealist]

I upped the protein intake and I gained gas and visits to the bathroom

[MCWAY]

When I eat 3 regular, moderate meals each day (1-2 protein, 1-2 carbs) and drink 2-3 shakes (2 scoops whey with water), I'm way harder (no homo) than I am without the protein shakes.

There are times on vacation or when I'm lazy, that I'll stop shakes for a few days.  And I get soft pretty quick. 

I sure don't buy into the "500 grams a day" bullshit.  But 250 a day is awesome, and 50 grams a day sucks.

Now who said anything about 500 grams per day? Nobody in his right mind would recommend anyone going that high, at least not right off the bat.

You increase your intake gradually. If you're stuck, despite consuming, say, 200 grams of protein, you would start by increasing to 250.

When I weighed 189 lbs, I boosted my protein to about 270 or so, from just over 200, or 1.5 grams per lb. of bodyweight. This was back in 1996 (spring semester of college). By semester's end, I reached 210 lbs.

[Ursus]

I went from around 120g to 180-200g and made significant gains in a short time,. Recovery also significantly improved.

Try some eastern block workouts. Something like 4 days in row you train the whole body everyday then take 3 days off.

day 1-   5 sets of 5 reps per bodypart/ 1 exercise per muscle group(95%failure)
day 2-   4 sets of 8 reps per bodypart/ 1 exercise per(90% failure)
day 3-   3 sets of 10/12 reps p.bodypart/ 1 exercise per(85% failure)
day 4-   3 sets of 15 reps per bodypart/ 1 exercise per(80% failure)

day 5-   Rest
day 6-   Rest/Cardio
day 7-   Rest

All gotta die some time. Might as well die huge.

that little fag would drop to his knees and beg me not to snap his twig like neck.

it would not stop me.

[doison]

These guys all eat a lot of protein: http://www.getbig.com/ranking/prorankm.htm

But the wafer thin bottle necks who post here think a lot of protein is worthless.



Until a study comes out that shows muscle is made of protein, AND humans must get that protein from "eating it," AND 9 of the amino acids that make up that muscle protein MUST come from the diet and cannot be synthesized ANY other way......I'm sticking to the "protein is worthless mantra."

[JP_RC]

Protein... ha ha.


One of the biggest bodybuilding lies. Bodybuilding magazines would go out of business if people really knew.


Pregnant women need a little extra, then maybe someone recovering from a serious injury... bodybuilders? Bunch of crap.

You know, I'm starting to realize this as well. I've been eating .75 per lb of bodyweight and I've noticed no difference than when I was eating 1 gr or more per lb.

[Fatpanda]

hahahaha you little fag - first you are going to stab me in the throat, now you are going to shoot me 

i may have nightmares..........

[JOHN MATRIX]

LMAO!!!!

is that a 21 xerxes??

[buffdnet]

that's fucking hilarious. that should get some history to itself

You still haven't cited your height and bodyweight. If I were a betting man, I'd say you're nowhere near your "natural limit". Take it from someone who once thought he might have to take steroids just to get over 200 lbs (at 5'9"); but, ended up by the summer's end of 1996 at 227 WITHOUT THEM.

Bodybuilding magazines have been in business for DECADES, despite silly claims like this (which in real world applications have been shown, by and large, to be bogus).
