Nice work! Keep it up.

[Matt]

Yep good work Spags keep going man, a regular weekly update will keep you training hard to impress us

Rossco mate, sorry to here the ProLab tastes ****. You're right in that mass gainers tend to taste different. They usually have maltrodexin for carbs and that can make it a bit... gunky. There's no way you can mix them in a shaker, have to be blended. Next time look for the CNP ProMass. It's the only mass gainer I sell and it's used by all our big guys at the gym - despite some people not liking the brand and saying it's got steroid in

Actually a funny side note, I've got a few boxes of CNP Pro MR Meal Replacements here, and they've been opened and checked for steroids, guess they'd read too many internet forums as well

jeimuzu your diet, given your goals, sounds alright. I'd be tempted to have an additional protein shake the same time as breakfast to get my protein intake up, other than that stick with it a few weeks and see how you go. Everyone is different, so keep good journals and records and you'll find what works for you. You must be honest about your food, and then you can judge weight gain / weight loss and adjust calorie intake accordingly. Good luck man, anything else just ask

quick question regarding this mrm whey protein, im using a heaped scoop and adding 7oz of s/s milk , as cant seem to find on the label how much/little to use, whats every1 else adding?

[Matt]

Well at work I sell shakes with 500ml milk plus 2 semi-heaped scoops, that's about right - so half that for a single serving (too much protein to absorb in my shake to be honest, but we have some big guys).

Also try adding ice cubes, or even better semi-freezing the milk first. LOVELY

[mr ooops]

just opened the straw/ban flavour and wow, its so nice another thing with me is i dont drink milk, about 5 year ago made a coffee poured the milk in while paying little attention and took a swig, was just like drinking cottage cheese always resisted milk since, anyway actualy enjoyed the shake , choc is ok ish , so will use that too have a break from the straw/ban now and again. so you can add getting calcium to my diet now

cheers

Man, there's this really short guy but BIG guy at work and he eats about 5k a day but ZERO protein. Then, he has two days of just eating pretty much 100% protein, total OD. God knows what that's all about but it obviously works for him, says he has been doing it for years. Personal trainer too, really nice guy. Extreme looks though, way too much for my liking but you know, each to their own like.

[Matt]

You can do some mad things with food cycling. A popular way to shift fat is eating moderate carbs two days, then really low for two: repeat. In his case, well I've not encountered that one yet but if it works for him, great. Though I can't help thinking he must be juiced up to the gills to handle that much food in a functional manner.

erm its all gone to quiet in ere, u aint all at kfc or mcd's are you :P

Im currently 18, 6'1, weighing 12.5 stone.

Im so unfit though it's untrue... everytime i have a slight jog or something at football i feel proper out of breath like someones sucking all the air out of me. I used to eat mcdonalds about 4 times a week, now i tend not to at all.

I need some tips on being able to last ages in football!

[recipher]

Exercise more. Eat better. Don't smoke. Drink less alcohol. Stay hydrated.

Ok, I'm being glib. But it really is that simple, if all you want to do is be able to play a bit of football. If you want to run a marathon, climb mountains, be a triathlete or get buff, then it's a little more complex (though not much more, to be fair).

We're all anxiously awaiting jeimuzu_uk's Before Photos. It's the internet version of "So quiet you can hear a pin drop".

While you're waiting, sponser me (and the team, I suppose) at Windsor Half.

Clicky!

[Roost]

I'm sticking to the same diet as posted a few pages back but with 2 or 3 protein shakes a day spread throughout the day as well. Working out Mon, Wed and Fri this week. Normally do every other day excluding the weekends as i'm not normally at home then, so everythings going well me thinks

[Matt]

See what I can sponsor you mate I'll check the paypal account Could be as much as 50p with some luck!

Good news Roost, glad things are working out for you.

I've been revising my diet now I've given up the ghost on losing all the lard to build some serious bulk. With my problem with too high carbs, I'll be floating around 300g protein, 300g carbs, and 70g fat per day; 3000 odd calories per day. Listing Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri. I'll be dropping cals to around 2500 on Wed and doing cardio, and possibly the same Sat (def running Sat, not sure about calories yet). Oh and on Friday I'll be aiming for 3500 to 4000 cals. Calorie cycling confusion!!

Looking to be up to 120kg on the bench by mid December. That would be a 15kg increase so I've got to get my training right, and that requires a constant increase in weight. Monday is chest day. Previously I've been rotating between Light (8 to 10 reps), Medium (4 to 6 reps) and Heavy (single rep, then lowering to rep out around 8 ). I won't be able to increase weight every Heavy session that's unrealistic, so I'm dropping the Light session and alternating Medium and Heavy. So next Heavy I'll aim for 110, then two weeks later I'll repeat 110 and go for either 2 reps, or 2 sets of single reps on 110. Then jump up 2 weeks later to 115.

Hope that kind of makes sense 8)
