Don't worry brah, it's most likely because of daily weight fluctuations (water / stool weight etc). You'll just go crazy if you try logging your weight everyday, stick to once a week or once every other week to make sure you're on track (on a surplus / deficit depending on your goals) but that's all that checking your weight really should be used for. The only changes that really matter are in the mirror

It seems like everyone has been progressing along in one way or another. It's always a good boost of motivation when I come here and read how people are going and how far they've come. Makes me want to get to the kitchen and make myself another meal hah!
As for me, well, for about a week after getting my teeth out eating was pretty low since I could hardly open my mouth due to the swelling so i wasn't get much in at all, and that affected me because now I'm finding it really hard to get back up to 3000 calories a day. I just don't have the stomach for it yet. But I'm slowly working up to it again, hopefully within the next few days I'll be getting close. I increased the amount of reps I'm doing with my workouts and changed some things around, and feeling pretty good all-round with that aspect. Started creatine as well so I'll see how I go with that too.
Just got to get back into routine and get my motivation up and into gear so I can see some gains!
Definitely have to take in the recommendation about cardio as that might help get my body hungry again.
I hope everyone is going strong and sticking to their goals.

Skinny walking staunch..
Yep, just joined the club... too late for me to become a big guy (48) but been improving lately especially after started a proper diet, cardio exercises and then building mass. A high concentration omega 3 from www,maxalife,com was the trigger I would say. Somehow it sparkled me up, not just organically. Sometimes you ned an extra punch...got it.

overtraining
Hello my skinny pals! I posted a thread in the workout forum and didn't really get much response...my thread was about my recent discovery that my lack of gains was due to overtraining...so i thought i'd share the story here in the hopes that it helps another skinny dude from making the same mistakes i made!

Deads really aren't a focus of quads. Like I said, its more glute/ham/lower back dominate. You want to do deads on a completely seperate day than squats. So, no deads on leg day. Your big 4 compound moves are squat/bench/shoulder press/deads. All should have seperate days for eachother. It'd make since to do romanian deads (stiff legged) on your leg day as a ham exercise. Would do that towards the end of your workout after quads.
You'll always want your deads dedicated to 1 day, it helps put the most size on you.

hey guys!
so worked out today. gained 1.5 lbs since last week. i upped my protein intake and i think i'm slowly gaining back the weight i lost. i'm at 132.5 right now. i lost i bunch of weight when i cycled of off the whey shakes. went from 134.5 to 130 almost over night. i tryed to get all my protein from diet alone. yeah, didn't work at all. i think i lost some water weight with that but w/e. weight is weight.
anyways, dead lifted today. felt real good. didn't try to max out though. but i did 185 and 195 easy. i'm thinking i'll be able to do 215 either friday or next monday for sure. i did a little squatting too. again i didn't try to max. had horrible hip pain today. not sure why. hopefully better luck next time. oh and i ripped fukc outta my boxers while squatting lmao. oops.
also had bad pain in my left shoulder. this i think is due to me sleeping all night on my left side. woke up with it stiff as farrrrk. anybody else have this problem?Last edited by brian1570; 05-04-2011 at 09:46 AM.

You're fine bro Good that you realized it in time!
Wat. Link me a source please. By this logic Rippetoes, one of the most revered workout programs on these forums, is faulty. Unless of course you're speaking exclusively of splits in which case I agree and you are right.Check out my log! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=670835141

haha yeah, i felt something pop when i went down...paused....thought it was a hip or something popping. shrugged it off and kept going. right after the gym i went to go drop a deuce and sure enough....almost ripped the damn things clean in half. LMAO.
but yeah i keep sleeping on the same arm lately and now it's killing me. not sure how to stop sleeping on it. and not sure how to get the pain out.

Started my new workout this week. I'll try to post it tomorrow (need to bring home the gym sheet, don't remember sets and reps). I think it could be missing some compound excercises but its my second month so it could be because of my "gym beginner status".
It seem like I've gained about 2 lbs. After a while going up and down got to my max weight +2. Let's see if I can hold on to them and keep gaining. Sunday will be the real weight in day.

Banana Cream, 2 Lbs.
Wondering what you guys think.
Im weighing in about 120-125 i havent checked recently. Im just trying to get big for next years sports. Trying to take my sports to another level and want to be looked at differently from others.

Well in my opinion don't waste your money buying two protein supplements, waste of money. I would buy a weight gainer - On serious mass will do. Then buy a multi vitamin, and fish oil. If you want to take it up a notch You can buy a pre workout supplement, ones id recommend, is No Explode by BSN, or Assault by Muscle Pharm
Since you really haven't been working out for that long you could wait awhile before you throw in the pre workout supplement. After a month or so.
Most people here would say do a SS, which is a starting program for beginners. Here the program I have been doing, you should see results with this. Try it for 1 week, if its too much drop 1 exercise off per body part.

Hey man, 2 questions. What's the diff. between Power, Muscle, and Burn? I'm assuming Power is less reps with heavy weight, muscle is slightly more reps with slightly lighter weights, and burn is large reps, with light weights? ( I also have to look up pinwheel curls, and the seated arnold)
2nd question: Does stretching before and after workout stimulate muscle growth? I'm probably the worst person when it comes to stretching. I never really stretch before or after workouts, which I know puts me at risk of injury. I'm going to make sure though from now on that I stretch every time, but just wanted to know if it promotes muscle growth, Vs. not stretching.
