Thought I would bring this thread back, has died many times before but hopefully we can keep it going this time. Basically discuss anything to do with working out, weight lifting, body building, dieting, etc. Feel free to give people tips, ask and answer questions, whatever you guys want.

I started pretty recently myself. Never did anything up until I was like 18 as I was always playing high school sports so never had to worry about getting out of shape. Started doing casually since then and now been going hard for the past 4 months about. I am stronger in virtually every area now, stuff is starting to take shape and I am pretty damn happy with the results.

Goal now is to bulk up, which is tougher then it sounds :$

Are you trying to say there is a corollary between drinking chocolate milk and losing weight? Depends on what i've had during the day and the workout but i sometimes make up a small amount of chocolate milk (about 200ml). Not too much chocolate in it either.

Had a little bit under 1,800 kcals but don't really feel that good... I had 51% carb, 28% protein and 21% fat, are the carbs too high? I'm having like up to 250g a day. Would it be better if I swapped the carb/protein percentages? I would say definitely but I've been surprised a few times by answers in this thread so I dunno?

Is it the kcals that are too much? I'm sedentary all day apart from the gym. 5 ft 7, I'm like 9 and a half stone when I get up, and I'm 19. Also I sleep a lot, lol like 10+ hrs and only having like 12-14 hr days when I assume most people are active for more so would burn more?

1g per pound is fine

my routine right now is to ball in the afternoon, then go to the pool near my house and do 60 laps, come back home and fuck around with the dumbells for a little bit, and drink chocolate milk(not the shit with the corn syrup though). feel like it's getting me in decent shape. i recommend swimming, gives u the cardio/strength(at least a little) combo, and a little natural high afterwards.

Yeah, anything that raises your heartrate is good.

Boxers do a ton of rope skipping for cardio. It's a pretty damn efficient method.

How are those workout program DVDs, actually? Like RUSHFIT, Insanity, etc. I've been looking to get back into shape after working so much, but I'm just not interested in going to the gym (I do have a YMCA membership - I go a few days a week). Thing is, I don't know where to start, I don't have a personal trainer or expert to help me out with goals and planning, but I do know what I want to do - get fit and conditioned enough for pro wrestling, since it's what I want to do. I also need to keep in shape for the duration of my adult life, or for as long as I can. Right now, I'm at 145 pounds and I'm 5'6. I'm not sure how much is muscle and how much is fat. Can't afford a doctor because I have no insurance, so I'm fucked when it comes to getting an opinion on that. I need some serious help because I'm at a loss on what to do.

All you need is Squats, Stiff Leg Deadlifts and Calve Raises. Done.

I need some advice guys. i've been going to do the gym for awhile, all well and good. I go four times a week (2 upper and 2 lower body workouts) and i have a gym bike at home which i do 25 minutes every morning on. So i think as workouts i'm fine, but i can't seem to gain much in the way of bulk.

I' 5'10 and about 67kg (147 lbs), so any hints for a good muscle gain diet? Is it true that i should be gulfing down some protein within 30 minutes of my workout ending?

That anabolic window is a bit of a myth. Obviously you'll want to be eating a high protein/carb meal post-workout but it makes no real odds if it's 10, 30 or 90 minutes after really. Sometimes it's getting on for a couple of hours before I have my main PW meal and my gains have been great.

Bulking is easy anyway. Just eat 250-500 calories over your maintenance. Trial and error till you're gaining 2-3lb a month.

Buy a skipping rope or go swimming.
