I really need to start doing meal prep stuff, too. I eat out at the exact same place every day at work and usually get the exact same things. It ends up costing me like $8 to $10. I really should start making a week's worth of food and storing it to save money.
Bulking-GAF seems to care only about maximizing muscle growth and strength. Even if they are eating 1000 more calories a day than they need to to do so, from what I can tell they are all fat, happy, and strong as fuck.
Hahaha, no, when I do get mine?Is it my pizza penis?
Well yeah, this has always been mos of FitGAF, not a lot of aesthetic focused guys around and I think that's great. I was more upset at all the judgmental remarks.Bulking-GAF seems to care only about maximizing muscle growth and strength.

I'm ready to get to be somewhat aesthetic starting in Feb!

Probably gonna have a pound of ground beef and broccoli later after this 2800 calorie appetizer. Should put me at 5500-6000 cals for the day and I won't even gain a pound...
189lbs after work, this fucking job...
I'm middle of the road since I always have abs, my body fat can change drastically in a week depending on work, diet and how often I lift.

A bunch of randoms came Into thread and shitted it up. Happens from time to time.

You know that horrible feeling when you're like, "Fuck, I think I hurt myself really badly doing this" after an exercise?
Yeah.
So many hot dogs! God damn lol.
And I think that's the look I will try to stick with. Middle of the road, have abs, can be more or less depending on diet and workout. Best of both worlds.
I didn't get a chance to comment on that but I thought it was a legitimate question. Everyone has their personal preferences. From what I have seen on what an "ideal body" is on the public eye, it isn't for me. They all look too skinny. But that's just my thoughts.
Dude injures himself every week and a half that's what!what happened!!!?

my mom told me today she thinks I should strive to have David Beckham's body...>_> ....I said, "Mom, that guy is skinny as hell.." she said " Are you out of your mind?? he looks great!"
I realized I've been moving away from the bodytypes society considers aesthetic, I do want to see some definition around Spring/summer 2014 in my body, I've been working out a year, eating and lifting and I want to see the gains so far and shed the fat but I want to get big/muscled too and I want to keep getting stronger.
then a friend who is anti-workout said a burly pianist will look laughable in a frack -_-
you know, whatever, it's not like anything substantial will happen overnight.
Well, to be fair, someone who is anti-workout would probably also say a burly "anybody" would look pretty laughable too. So fuck them and their anti-burliness, is basically what I am trying to say.then a friend who is anti-workout said a burly pianist will look laughable in a frack -_-
I thought I'd try making one of these myself, it tastes awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipe
That looks crazy good. Mind posting the recipe?

Was really easy to make. I didn't cook it at 500, I did 450 for 13 minutes.

These days I think you really only need protein powder if:
A) You can't get/stomach/afford 1-1.5g/lb lean body mass per day from real food. Gram per gram powder IS cheap.
B) You want to cook with it. An excellent idea.
C) You HAVE to lift literally first thing in the morning. A scoop of whey before you head out the door is much better than going completely fasted.
D) You're a level 5 vegan who can't eat anything that casts a shadow.

Also at the gym today, help spot a guy who did 3 reps @ 565 lbs for bench. He had some sort of sleeve but still. Fucking impressive. He was a former football player. Played for the Rams back in the day.
Dude injures himself every week and a half that's what!
I ordered a barbell set and I'm going to post a lot more in this thread.
Wish me luck brah.
For the millionth time, I'm going to attempt to get into lifting, granted, every time before hand i get too panicky about looking like a complete ass in a gym or even to my friends for, i dunno, "trying" lol. Ended up compromising with myself and timetabled myself to sneak out in the dead of morning to do go lift so my flatmate doesn't catch me.
This time its looking like I wont bottle it hah, just got a few questions and shit and hopefully I can get this thing going.
1) I think I would be classed as a skinny fat, (I'll post a pic probably tommorow just to check with you guys), but basically I'm 5' 9" and weigh (oh god) 9 stone pretty much exactly. I want to effectively lose the gut and the flabby chest, soft everything else, gain strength and size, but shit, I'm petrified of looking fat (for some reason it goes to my chin like, instantly and my chest maybe). What's the best course of action, I've seen bulk proponents, I've seen cut proponents, I've seen a handful of maintenance and lift proponents and nothing seems convincing either way.
2) Eating clean and well on the cheap, I'm a student and would rather minimise costs - besides the fairly obvious, whats a good source of bulk meals I can prepare with a good macro profile (1g protein per lb, .45 fat per lb, rest carbs and whatever else). Also is that macro profile shit or ok, it's what I settled on after reading. Think I'll be following the allpro program.
3) I don't think I can live (alright, its not that dire) without a weekly/fortnightly night out on the town - if i stick to clear spirits with no mixers (no problem for me, so its not really a compromise lol) and resist the post booze binge on shit like fries/chips (or if i am too weak to resist something very protein based) will I dent my progress too much? It will likely be once a fortnight being realistic, but there'll be some weeks where its once a week and others where its nothing. Also read some shit about high amino acid concentration in the blood and alcohol being cause for bad news, but it sounded like fud; just incase, is there any truth to this? Any gaffers on here have a good idea?
Post got big, sorry, but I'd much appreciate it if a gaffer could answer my questions.
Don't give a shit about "ideal body" I'm about performance and happiness.
Dude injures himself every week and a half that's what!
I laughed because it's so true.
Anyway, I was exaggerating a bit before, I think I'm okay (long story).
Just as an addendum; pictures. I still got a gut, and my jawline is veeeerry soft (though thats not in the pictures), so I don't know, how to play this out really. Can I bulk and not get too fat? I've done tons of reading, but I'm still baffled probably more because I don't want to get fat, lol. It feels like at my weight I should, but looking at myself, it doesnt feel like it.

Haha he's one of yhe trainers yhete, pribably thought he might have to intervene.Nice! I like how that guy looks and then is like I'm getting out of here.
Beastly, as usual!!!
Friggin hell man. That's insane! congrats!
Thanks guysLOL
impresive!
I stay in boxer briefs and compression shorts, never ripped any. When i first started playing rugby and squatting i noticed my legs were stretxhing out my underwear a lot. Had to start buyin them bigger.Fitness friends, let's talk about underwear. Have you ever ripped yours while doing squats? I could feel the thread around my thighs snapping today. I'll be discontinuing these boxers shortly (the last actual boxers I own). Now I need to invest in some more boxer briefs.

Lol. As a noob I'm glad to hear that.Don't sweat cuts, bulks, and going out every once in a while to have fun. You are a beginner, a sperm as far as your lifting life is concerned. You haven't even been ejaculated out of the penis of the lifting gods yet. Eat well. Sleep like a baby and stay consistent on your lifting.
Obvious solution is not to wear pants and underwear while lifting,Fitness friends, let's talk about underwear. Have you ever ripped yours while doing squats?

You do 3 sets of 5, the same weight each set. One after the other. It's supposed to start relatively easy when you first start it.
Get compression shorts for lifting. I usually buy something like this. I have about 4 pair which is enough to get me through a weeks worth of lifting.
I don't get it. Then why not just say "Do 15 squats"?
