Ah, sorry, I thought it'd be obvious but perhaps I should have said. I'm trying to put on mass, not cut, lose weight, or get a sixpack. I train hard in the gym but see very small results. I know for...

Yesterday I grabbed some cold roast beef as a quick protein fix. Two thick slices of lean sirloin, probably about 30g protein.

Problem is, three hours later I still felt full, so getting my next...

I'm certainly no expert mate, but it seems to me that there's nothing wrong with you in terms of hormones or genetics - stop worrying about that nonsense. If you were high on estrogen my guess is the...

I am excited to get back to the gym having read this post.

A question:

Somewhere along the lines I read that hypertrophy only occurs when there is a steady increase, whether it be in weight or...

Problem is I've been skinny all my life. Weedy. I'm finally looking like a man; if I start doing shed loads of cardio and cutting calories to lower my bodyfat I'll go back to looking like a stick,...

This is actually really helpful, thanks. I'm not concerned with the definition of the abs, but would like my belly to be a little flatter. I certainly don't intend to go on a dedicated cutting diet!

Hey,

I've always maintained that I'm not fussed about having a washboard stomach, that my primary concern is just getting bigger, more manly, strong, etc.

While this remains true, I'm curious....

Thanks.

Another quick question: I counted my calorie intake for yesterday (a day I considered to have eaten quite little) and it came to 2650. Is this too little? Protein was 160g.

Though I...

In trying to put on size I've basically just been eating 'a lot'.

I figure it's time to start counting calories/protein. So, two questions:

1. How many calories should I be taking in? (I'm 32,...

Quick question: should I take amino acids on non-workout days or is that a just a waste of money as they're damn expensive?

I got up to 12 stone. It was slow. I am a hardgainer.

Then I got man-flu. I was out of action for 3 whole weeks. Waking up drenched in sweat, fever, constant headache. I just couldn't eat....

Wow, you lost 0.5kg even though your eating wasn't disrupted?

:-(

Hmmm, sorry. I am not "deathly" ill. Just quoting a song lyric.

I seem to have come down with man-flu. In my 6th day now. I cannot go to the gym. I have fever and I lack even the strength to run...

Fantastic, thank you.

So, basically, the body is constantly turning to muscle for energy, and it's up to you to keep the amino intake high, so that aminos in > aminos out.

The body will also do...

My sister is a stone overweight and I am a hardgainer looking to put on muscle. She goes on those fad diets like Lighter Life and they work for her. I have painstakingly put on a stone of muscle over...

I did a full body routine for about 9 months and yes, it was great for overall toning and strength, but growth was slow.

I would certainly recommend it, as it set me up for going on to higher...

I recently gave up Leg Day cos I hated it. Consequently my Chest Day and Back Day are being rotated at a higher frequency, as I'm still going to the gym 3 times a week.

Anyway, I now want to start...

This is excellent news :-)

Can somebody shed any light here? I have heard it said many times that food must be spread throughout the day. I have also heard it said that as long as you get the necessary amount of calories down...

Thanks guys.

I don't have shingles (had that in my early 20s) and my mattress is only a year old.

Having racked my brains I reckon it might be the dumbell shoulder press I have recently taken...
