When I first started lifting, I was a little overweight, and it's been about 2 months now. I've made some muscle gains, but it's weird that my weight is still 170. Shouldn't I be gaining a lot more...

Yeah I meant that eating bread and honey won't suddenly make someone sore when they weren't before. (just clarifying)

Soreness does not indicate a good workout. If you aren't sore, your muscles are probably starting to get used to the extra load from your workouts.

(Food has nothing to do with it)

Seems like my post didn't go too well. It was just something slightly humorous I wanted to share, since I never see any funny clips related to bodybuilding.

The guy in it is Michael Courtemanche.

Hahaha I loved it! I loved the forearm twisting you did near the end.

Oh, it isn't? I thought that I was doing something wrong since I wasn't sore.

Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, I mostly use machines. Should I use more free weights? I currently do:

Monday (back and biceps):
Pullups, pulldowns, seated rows

Tuesday (chest and triceps):
Dips, Smith bench...

It's only been a little more than a week since I started weightlifting. I do 12-8-3-5-5 reps for sets on the machines. I follow this schedule:

Monday: Back and biceps
Tuesday: Chest and triceps...

Yeah I haven't done pullups in a while, so my abs are probably not used to being trained. At least it's good to know that I'm not doing something wrong.

Thanks, guys!

Yesterday, I did a few sets of leg extensions, a few sets of assisted pullups, and a few sets of seated pulldowns. Today, I feel soreness in my biceps, a little on my back, but i also feel soreness...

I'm not sure if this works for everyone, but I used to walk uphill for about 40 minutes every day on my treadmill, and I made some gains on my calves. Then again, for some reason, I've had larger...

While you're bulking up, it's natural to be gaining some body fat as well. You can trim off the fat later on, but for now, if you're focusing on building muscle, you shouldn't worry too much about...

Wow, Alex. You have an amazing motivation to bodybuild despite your handicaps. I don't know how you manage to keep in good shape, but you are a real inspiration. Excellent work! I hope you the best...

Just from a general perspective, it is much better to get one long sleep than several sleeps broken up. I'm not sure how it would relate to bodybuilding, though.

Hello, I am new to bodybuilding, and since I am going to take a Weightlifting course for gym next term (starts in about a week), I've done some research on what exercises to do, which to avoid, and...

230 is your body weight.

It's probably overtraining, not training properly, or not eating the right food. How is your bicep routine?

My left shoulder is like that.. when I rotate my shoulders forward and back, I can hear a crack (like knuckles cracking) in the bones. They don't hurt at all, though, and they've never caused me any...
