lol not a good idea to gorge yourself till you puke for every meal (although it was fun as hell eating burgers till i puked while drunk off my ass last night... but i get drunk about 4 times a year lol).

your body, at least a body like in the pic just above, cant really 'process' that much protein, let alone absorb all the other nutrients from the food when eating that much at once. you should aim for about 20g of solid protein (minimum) per meal, but make sure youre eating a meal every 3-4 hours of your entire day. if youre trying to get the most of your calories, its a hell of a lot more effective to eat a solid 500-8 calorie meal every 3-4 hours (or perhaps 5-6x a day), than to eat all those calories in 1-2 meals a day. plus it wont 'clog up' your digestive system so bad provided you get a lot of leafy greens and fibers from fruit. after many months of being in a non stop circadian rhythm of working out and absorbing nutrients, you can handle like 30-35 grams (minumum) of protein per meal. throughout the day aim for .8g protein/kg of bodyweight, but get a healthy amount of fats and cholesterol, carbs, and balanced diet overall (meaning dont get all that protein from protein shakes and suchalone). eating at this 3-4 hour interval also produces a certain rhythm in your metabolism and keeps you in a pretty charged and energetic state.

honestly, i mean ive done every drug in the world, tripped more times than i can remember, but my favorite feeling in life is waking up before the rest of the world and cranking some badass music and lifting for a rock solid hour, walking out of the gym, and feeling like i had so much energy i could just do that all day long. the only thing that stopped me really is knowing that too much weightlifting is counter productive.

if youre really dedicated to bulking up, remember its a 24 hour job. no junk food, no booze, no soda, every single thing you put in your body should be dedicated to repairing the work you did that morning. fuel yourself with a really health conscious, balanced diet. gotta treat your body like a machine and just cycle nutrients through it like the beat to some house music.

No you think that obviously...

i totally agree. no one 'needs' to be huge and ripped. in fact, its actually extremely inefficient to have a society of body builders. your diet alone is going to cost you a good bit. youre basically eating enough for two people every single day. in a natural world, without modern civilization, youd be such a calorie whore youd likely die young. body building is a really fun and rewarding art to get into, but its a lot of work, discipline, and focus. no one needs to live this way, its just kinda fun to live ina world where we can.

i dont bodybuild anymore, i just lift for general fitness. body building def taught me how to be extremely efficient in the gym, so i can maintain a pretty lean and powerful body with minimal effort, and i heatily enjoy being able to just liberally drink or do drugs or eat whatever i want again. its really just a lifestyle choice, but if you feel comfortable with XXX height and YYY weight, more power to ya.

the body in the pic bosted above is ideal for chinese martial arts, however. a few years of that, and people with enormous muscles are nothing more than cumbersome easy targets to hit :) on this side of the coin, i would completely encourage an entire society of martial artists. everyone would be real fuckin' polite.

OH what a cute dog!

I love the idea of this thread, I'll have to get some pics of the results I've gotten thus far just from visiting the gym about an hour a few times over the last 2 weeks.

What's wrong with men wearing flip flops? Weirdos.

+1 as well!
 
Here it goes...

I've been to the gym about a half dozen times over the last 2 weeks. I could have gotten a better bicep picture but I was like "meh fuck it" and decided I'll get more pictures once I fix 1) my car and then 2) go to the gym some more.
 
Me sober for awhile...

yay for being able to post in this thread for a change...
 
CH, are you going to try and bulk up much? Or are you trying for a slim and cut look?

trying to work out more. bulking up is ideal, and i have done so to one degree or another for a little while now.

My parents think I don't eat enough as is so I LOL when you say "are you trying to slim down".

The camera makes me look a lot more "filled out" than I actually am. My parents told my fiancee "Make sure (___my name___) is eating." and she didnt know how to tell them I eat normally, lol.
 
Thanks Captain. Although it usually doesn't last long... I try to go a few weeks a month though until my script gets refilled.

I am hoping that my bf will by a WII (for him mostly) because I REALLY think I would get back into doing yoga again if I had the WII yoga. It is good for me. Tones and relaxes.
Anyone else do yoga? How does the WII yoga stack up with the old DVD yoga videos?

My fiancee is huge into pilates, I don't know how similar it is to yoga. Sorry. :)
 
lolwut?? I thought it was till Jan 1st?? You extended it?



You still working out Red? Long time no talk man

I failed that old pact so badly that if you mention it, I will just blush and hide my face. Like a real man.

New pact. With aep. July 1st I will strip down.

December was rough for me. I drank a lot (with the pills) and had plenty of excuses not to hit the gym. New Year, though, and I've been doing well. 23rd and I've been to the gym 20 days for weights and/or cardio. Getting my whey and creatine hcl in. Pictures are on hold, but again July is the new goal.

I mainly need to work on width for my back (meaning more pullups and wide-grip stuff) and also try to actually get calves.

How about how? Have you gotten back into the spirit?
