I workout more than my friend, alot more. Yet my muscles are not hard like rocks, yet he hardly works out and his arm muscles are huge, and hard like rocks. All of his muscles are. Yet mine, eating good, working out often, are soft, not rockhard, while his, crap food eating muscles are freakin' beast like.
What gives? Makes me want to give up. I spend so much on food, protein, etc, yet my muscles are pliable, soft, and not rock hard. How do you get rock hard muscles? We are both 19 yrs old btw.

To get hard muscles
Look the only you can get hard rock muscles are if you cut down to low body fat, do alot of reps on the excesize and also when you finish the excercise hold the posiiton eg when you doing chin ups when you finfhsed the set go back to the top and hold your self at the top of the chin up bar for as long as you can this will allow blood flow into you muscle and then slowly go down form the chin up up dont drop. do this for other things like bicep curls and press ups etc.
my spelling is bad.

-get a pump
-lift heavy (creates more dense muscles)
-eat good
-get lean

I can tell considerable the difference in hardness (no homo) in my muscle when on/off creatine.
When on creatine, they get and stay rock solid until I stop taking it regularly. Assuming water density has increased.
When not on creatine they stay pretty soft, even when flexed, they stay noticeably softer than with creatine.

I am 52. My muscles are still fairly solid when flexing but when I stop flexing it is as if they are filled with water or jello. It didn't used to be this way. I don't think it is just loose skin or fat. My body fat is close to what it used to be.
Possible culprits:
1. Aerobics. My routine now includes a lot more aerobics than in the past. It is about 30 mins 4x a week which isn't much but it may be enough to matter. This may somehow affect the muscle composition. Look at a long distance runner vs a sprinter.
2. Protein. Related maybe to #1. I've read that runners actually need more protein than weightlifters. It may be that more protein=harder existing muscle and less protein=softer existing muscle.
3. Water. While water isn't 'hard' it may make a muscle feel more solid or full. The aerobics cause me to sweat a lot. Perhaps I'm more dehydrated than I used to be. The post just before this seems to support this theory.
4. Age/hormones. Fact of life. No Mr. Olympia has ever been in his 40s right?
Probably the easiest test would be to stop the aerobics for a month or two, eat plenty of protein, and drink enough water, and see if it makes a difference. If not, it probably is age-related, and I can be resigned to the idea that I may look decent but I'm a walking jello factory.
oops, just saw this is on a teen forum Ha! I'll start a new thread elsewhere for us old guys.Last edited by zdash66; 05-04-2015 at 09:49 PM.
