That is good that you have big bucket of protein which is good start but you need more protein to help with muscle growth like,eggs,tuna,salmon,milk,yogart,chicken,beef,lamb and for carbs,oats,pasta,rice,veggies,kumara,fruit etc

i would also try and get your workout done in under an hour. If your working hard youll be stuffed by 50mins or so

[terminator]

ok im going to cut it down to an hour from tomorrow, going to buy some of the food thats been listed aswell. im still not sure when,what i sould be eating and how much?

cheers

[boostinggtir]

steak, chicken, eggs, white/brown rice, potatoes, bananas, apples. Eat as much as you can stomach 6 times a day. Shake first thing in the morning with fruit, after work out with fruit, an before bed.

[terminator]

ok will be getting all that tomorrow and start eating like that, im currently taking is INNER AMOUR SUPER QUAD PROTEIN.

[boostinggtir]

Yea I like the inner amour product, good value for money too.

[terminator]

ok mint does any have any tips on the shake to give it better taste etc?ive been using milk to mix it with?also is there any other things i sould be taking creatine?etc

[rooney111]

to make it taste better hmm i use blender and some fruits..kinda turns out to be protein fruit smoothie

[terminator]

oh yup so u use milk to then?i have mixed bannana with it before in the blender for bit off taste aswell as ice to make it cold.

[boostinggtir]

only have milk with your shake before bed, milk slows down the release of protein. You want a quick hit of protein post work out an first thing in the morning.

[terminator]

ok so water all other times?what food woul;d be nice to mix double choc with?its pretty bland tasting .is there any kind of stuff i can take to help get big fast ?as well as constant training.

It's pretty much all about diet, training and resting. Just start with protein an creatine for your supplements. Don't buy into the bull shit claims of most supplements, money is always best spent on quality foods first. Creatine is one of the few proven supplements on the market.

NOTTTTTTT!! i wouldnt waste ur money on creatine to start with mate. there are so many diffrent brands that can have different results for diffrent peps. creatine did jack all for me both times ive tryed it(as far as gaining anything other than a bit of recovery from it). just concentrate on diet and gettin ur quotter of protien a day to start with :wink:

if you wanna take creatine go for it, just because this guy didnt have any luck dosent mean anything.. its only $30 for 300grams or so, its not the most expensive supp out there, just get creatine monohydrate..

re diet: try and spread 6meals over the day every 3 hours or so, get clean carbs like oats, kumara, brown rice with every meal.. try and have 30-40g servings of protein each meal. so like 180-200grams of beef, 140-170g of chicken, 6 eggs with 2 yolks the others just use the whites. (make an omlette/scrambled eggs), 170g of tuna etc and your whey protein after workouts and maybe with milk before you go to bed. try and get some fruit and veges in 2-3 meals a day too..

hope that helps ya

not sayin it not worth it for him, just sayin if he startin out it not sumthing he NEEDS to start off with.

[boostinggtir]

Well when the dudes talking about supplement to get big, creatine is the way to go. Just because creatine didn't to jack for you doesn't change the fact the good old creatine is still super effect for most people, that's if diet an training is on point.

ohhhhhhhhh!!!! :doh: sorry, in that case be sure to tell him to buy some roids then too :wink:

so how is he suppose to tell if creatine works for him then if he starts out with new diet,protien and creatine all at the same time??? best to just start with the one supp (protien) and then once he plattos he should then try creatine then so he is able to notice any changes/gains.

[boostinggtir]

haha, I don't know about monitoring the creatine results form the get go, but the important thing is it's still going to help him progress faster. I've alway just taken creatine an protein powder an the odd test booster. Hell I don't even cycle the creatine. :pfft:

and thats why u look like a giant pie

[boostinggtir]

haha, nar there's no studies that show cycling creatine gives you better results then not.

[rooney111]

i take beta-alanine half teaspoon half hour before workout and helps me push more, i stand beside it because of noticeable diffrence.

i forgot to take b alanine last night and doing leg workout on my normal intensity, i couldnt feel them at the end and felt weak and wanted to leave gym haha... just to be precise i was doing drop-sets quads, lunges etc

[Calvin]

I agree with one day. use creatine when you plato. If you cant see results you may be throwing your money away on something that is ineffective

Boy oh boy :roll: I agree with 1 day, dont worry about the cretine yet it will be a waste of your money until you have all your food nailed and optimise your training prog. Most likely the gains you will make from it will be fluid retention as you wont be training properly and you will come off and lose all the fluid you gained....

[rooney111]

one question, does b alanine and creatine serves same purpose? they are both pre workout stuff and makes u push more resulting in better results?

im quite new to bbing as well and would like to learn more...
