Detrimental to lift when hungry?

Detrimental to lift when hungry?


Curious.

yeah you'll implode.

dmaestro yeah you'll implode.

why would you want to?

eliktronix why would you want to? The only time I really have to lift is before dinner.

Any serious answers?

pokesteve you need to at LEAST eat right away afterwards.... I usually eat within 30 minutes after working out.

I prefer lifting on a slightly-empty stomach, honestly. I can't function if I'm full, I get pukey. Ditto for running. I usually have a piece of fruit and a bit of string cheese an hour or so before I workout, just so I don't crash.

My numbers go to shit if I don't have enough food before working out

im horrible if im even remotely hungry

Elfling I prefer lifting on a slightly-empty stomach, honestly. I can't function if I'm full, I get pukey. Ditto for running. I usually have a piece of fruit and a bit of string cheese an hour or so before I workout, just so I don't crash. I have to be kinda hungry but not starving to be ok. If I am to full I feel bloated and like I am gonna puke while doing anything

christophers "Bloated? Bloated helps my squat" -Owner of Diablo Barbell I try to bloat up when I am gonna wear my shirt to get it to fit as tight as possible

I ate a large pizza before training today, around 2000 cals. Just after doing lunges I had to bolt upstairs and hang a turd, the cleaner had just finished cleaner the cubicle and he was in the one next door. I could just imagine him hanging himself after hearing what I did in there. personally I like having something to eat before hand, just not tha large.

It say's take two scoops daily. (one scoop = 5.25g of creatine) So should i take it two times daily? I take one scoop before workout, but when should i take the second scoop? Should i take it on my non-workout days?

bump

sirlot bump Anyone?

just do what it says on the bottle.

I thought 5 grams of Creatine a day was plenty?

then do that.

im not complaining but...

im not complaining but...


the week before i started bulking, i did alot of cardio to kinda flush my system out. durring this time i lost about 7 lbs of water weight. ever since ive been eating like a hoss and lifting almost every day. im 160 and consume at least 3000 cals a day w/ an ample amount of protein. but every time i step on the scale i get progressively lighter. when i look in the mirror it seems im losing fat and gaining muscle. now i am in no way sad if this is happening but from what ive read, if you are gaining muscle, you tend to gain fat along with it. could i really be gaining muscle and lose this much fat in an excess of calories? or is it newb gains? or should i just try and choke down more calories in a day? because with the amount of weight ive lost it couldnt possibly be all water weight.

3000 cals is barely maintenance if that for someone who works out. Up the food intake.

its so much harder eating after quitting weed, i usually eat b/t 4-5k cals a day since ive started w/ the very least being 3k. should i be shooting for like at least 4500/day? god i hope my appetite comes back soon

4k-4.5k sounds about right

crucialkc 4k-4.5k sounds about right werd, im well on my way to reach that goal today

if it helps to eat more when yo usmoke, then smoke and eat a fuck load, and work your way up to like 6k

ryazbeck if it helps to eat more when yo usmoke, then smoke and eat a fuck load, and work your way up to like 6k It'd be much more beneficial to not smoke, your appetite will come back within a week or two. Keep doing cardio for a little while it will be easier to stay quit.

yes but this guy isn't , so therefore he needs to up his calories you fucking chimp

ryazbeck if it helps to eat more when yo usmoke, then smoke and eat a fuck load, and work your way up to like 6k o believe me, i would loooove a nice fat blunt right now but the cops are all up on my ass and my school is drug testing me sum time this week, so i gotta lay low 4 a while.

XsLiCk i'm telling you stop giving head to your bf! taht answers it all

if you feel like you are gaining muscle and losing fat why would you fuck with your diet?

XsLiCk no 1 smiley post.

jonno if you feel like you are gaining muscle and losing fat why would you fuck with your diet? i figure if im not in enough of an excess to be gaining fat at the same time, i cant possibly making the maximum gains my body is capable of.

XsLiCk i'm telling you stop giving head to your bf! taht answers it all hmm that might be the problem....thanks for the advice ian! but wont u feel lonely when yer not getting any more slob on yer knob?

well what are your goals? if you're trying to look better, and you think you're looking better, then I dont see a problem. Beyond that I'd almost think you'd need to monitor bodyfat levels to really see where you are beyond your weight alone.

tize you need to up your calories bitch nah I don't, since january I've put on 22lb quite easily.

velamint well what are your goals? if you're trying to look better, and you think you're looking better, then I dont see a problem. Beyond that I'd almost think you'd need to monitor bodyfat levels to really see where you are beyond your weight alone. my ultimate goal is a cut 180lbs, but im looking to put on lean mass (and whatever comes with it) as fast as possible so that i can cut. i dont plan on making a cut 180 after this bulking cycle, il probably end up bulking through august and then cut down after that (or after my upper abs disappear, whichever comes first). im not a patient person but im patient enough to put in the effort to get the results i need, i just want to do it the most efficient way possible, especially since it will be a much faster cutting cycle with more muscle mass burning off calories. i have a bullshit bf calculating scale and have been looking for calipers all over but Dick's, Sports Authority, and Omega sports havent had even one pair. basically im trying to look better but for the future, presently im just working towards my goal w/o worrying about extra fat. ive lost 50 lbs before and im prepared to do it again edit: id be interested what christophers had to say

fawking stretch marks!!!!

fawking stretch marks!!!!


every fucking month i have new stretch marks on my arms today, i have a new one my right front delt shoulders

sux

Yea I got them all the way down my bicep now, kinda sucks but I stopped caring about them along time ago.

Jeg1983 Yea I got them all the way down my bicep now, kinda sucks but I stopped caring about them along time ago. i didnt care about them before....but first i notice a red "scratch" then next day it was gone----then a week later it came back...then after workout, it formed into a fucking stretch marks

i have them everywhere......on my chest on my arms

Armpit and biceps *infinity

I don't give a shit about them.

<==== former fatass i have em on my lower back, triceps, obliques, hammies, and ass. they are faded now but you can still notice em if you look

how long do they take to fade? i've had my new ones on my bi's for about a month now, and while they aren't bright red anymore they're still noticeable from a distance.

< ===== still a fatass right here had em since i can remember and im adding more as i get stronger. i hate cardio

Get something called Strivectin SD , it reduces them and the appearance of them dramatically.

I gotta everywhere, vertical one's on my sides and belly, bicepsm, back. they suck try cocoa butter, supposedly it helps reduce them

I have them on my legs, it's horrible. I'm hoping that when I lose some weight they will fade out some. I've been using lotion/cocoa butter on them, but it doesn't seem to help. I think that will only help if you know the stretch marks are going to happen, ie pregnancy.

evi1eddie how long do they take to fade? i've had my new ones on my bi's for about a month now, and while they aren't bright red anymore they're still noticeable from a distance. Mine faded in about a year



I have really bad stretchmarks on my lower back

everyday like after a shower just put on some lotion preferable with aloe or cocoa butter and that will hydrate your skin and help prevent them. It helps a lot.

I have them pretty bad as well. The only place is in the armpit region and biceps though. For a while what I would is take 1 vitamin E gel tablet every morning and before bed I would break a gel tablet open and spread it on the areas with stretch marks. It worked pretty well but I ran out and never got back to buying more. I think this time I will try the cocoa butter and see how that goes though.

collagen for teh win... I had some killer stretchies on my inner legs, they're finally fading out kinda tho.. still pretty damn visible

yeah i have near the front delt/armpit area, and i'm wondering when it will go away...hopefully soon now that i'm dieting again...i also have a ton of my upper legs

Ceaze does that just help fade the marks? edit: nevermind, says made to prevent stretch marks

i've stumbled across something that has actually worked really well to help the stretch marks on my biceps fade. i got the marks a couple months ago and though they were no longer blood red, they were still dark red/purple and really stuck out on my arms. i heard that vitamin e was supposed to help w/ stretch marks and while looking around a vitamin/nutrition store, i found pure vitamin e oil, 70,000 IU for $12. i've only used it three times thus far, rubbing it and massaging it on my arms, but each time the stretch marks are less noticeable. each time i use it they become lighter and smaller, the smallest ones look like mere skin blemishes and when i run my finger across the small ones, they feel smooth and indistinguishable from normal skin. the big stretch marks are still a problem, and by big i'm talking 1/2" wide and 4" long, but those are making improvements too. one stretch mark that was 1/4" wide and 3" long has faded into my skin tone and is only noticeable from like a foot away. before i bought the vitamin e oil i ordered strivectin sd but the oils been working so well that i haven't even cracked the bottle yet. i'm planning on using it only after the vitamin e stops improving the strechies. good luck guys edit: btw it didn't do anything for the old stretch marks that had already faded into little white lines

I've had them on my legs for months now

Rebs im natural and i was skinny as shit and got them Same. Got horizontal ones on my lower back, and some small ones on my upper armpits. I think I see some starting to form on my rear delts. What you gotta do is just smother the "stretchmark zones" (places stretchmarks typically show up) with cocoa butter once a day. Putting it on after they already appear won't do too much.

Keepn in mind strivectin -sd is hella expensive.

fawking stretch marks!!!!

Post cardio meals and Proper Squat form

Post cardio meals and Proper Squat form


Been wondering about post cardio day meals...is oatmeal ok? I was told to eat good carbs at least 20-30g. On days i weight train i know high protein is good like designer whey....should i stick to whey protein on cardio days? Also can someone give me a link that displays proper squat form. A video would help too, I love squats but always end up with a pain in one of my legs. thanks for any help!

Hi F&N I'm back after 2 months off OT and I wanna thank you

Hi F&N I'm back after 2 months off OT and I wanna thank you


This very board put in my head the idea that a skinny guy who's been plagued by the can't-gain-weight syndrome can, with good diet and workout, start to see gains, and then see them stick. It's only been a few months but I'm seeing more gains than I ever did previously, and when I didn't work out for the last week because I have been moving, the muscle and weight I put on actually stuck. Any time previously in my life my body would have eaten my muscles away in that time. Getting a proper diet with plenty of protien does wonders for us skinny guys! And get this - I have the double benefit that a well balanced diet, of as much whole healthy food as possible, is one of the best things I could do for my Multiple Sclerosis. So thanks F&N, you guys really inspired me to push myself hard in a time in my life (after my first MS attack) when I doubted my ability to get by from day to day.

awesome man

great job

fuck yer mate!



what exactly did you do? just eat tons of carbs/cals/protein and giv'er?

I went from an average 20-something's diet to eating 6 times a day, with protien, carbs, and fruit/veggies at every meal, and started a good workout routine.

I was wondering what happened to you the other day, I thought maybe you had given up.

b-stevens I was wondering what happened to you the other day, I thought maybe you had given up. nope, my life has been insane, just learning to live with my disease, working out like crazy, training in a great new fighting style, moving to round rock, and planning a wedding.

Its great to hear that you aren't letting the disease beat you down and you're out there kicking life in the ass. Keep it up.

congrats man

Keep it up! And let me just say I wish I had the gaining weight problem instead of the trying to lose fat problem grats on your gains.

Great work. Keep it up.

Glad to know not everyone on OT became totally heartless while I was gone. Thanks for the support kids, once I get back on my schedule I'll post before and after progress. I also wanna get some calipers and continue to track my bf% too.



that's awesome. good job!!



nice
