Have you tried brown rice ?

or boiled white rice

Yes, for example I make a chicken breast sauce and will have it either with pasta or rice. But it gets boring. What else can I do with meat? For example chicken breast, mince etc. Must be quite a few things to do with them that are good for bulking

Besides rice and pasta, try sweet potato to mix it up it's a good carb to have as a side. Other then that, spagetti, noodles, mixed boiled vegetables.

Yes I have sweet potato as well. Carb sources are fine but as for the meat I am not sure what to do with them.

Just increase your calorie intake man. Your only problem is that your not eating like a big man. It requires disciplined overeating to what you are use to.

Eat beef beef and more beef! Any cut that ends in loin. Goto tariq halal, you can get marinated stuff, saving you all the hassle.

Stop being a woss, eat, eat and some more. Come back and tell us in 3 weeks the result.

Thanks man. I guess I am just paranoid that I'll get fat again if my calorific surplus is too large. I will be eating lots of carb sources like pasta, rice potatoes etc. Lots of vegetables and will be getting protein from meat/fish sources. Will try having foods like black beans as well. Also have lots of fats such as yogurt, nuts, peanut butter.

"Fat again" .... that implies that you use to be overweight. I had you down as a skinny guy struggling to put on weight. You can still "over eat" but not no so much on the carbs in that case. Vegetables are a special case, eat as much as of those as you want.

Over eat but match that with training effort, so that you get benefit of all that overeating resulting in muscle mass.

Yes I used to be obese. Today after chest + triceps workout I had 150g Pasta with Tuna etc. About 19 working sets, is that ok?

[CricketCartoons]

Someone hit my car on the road, and refused to apologize, so I abused him. He came and slapped me for abusing him in front of his wife. I was too stunned to react. But I am starting gym from today so that no one dares to slap me again.

Ok let me dial back the advice I gave you since I thought you had trouble putting on mass.

For someone like you or for that matter me, we need to have a a healthy but strict relationship with carbs (vegetables like Cauliflower, cabbages and broccoli don't count). You don't need not eat that much to put on muscle.

Eat beef and vegetables like I said but don't over eat, because the day you stop training, you will have trained yourself for a big appetite but without the calorific expenditure with training. Keep a rough estimate in your head of the amount of calories you are consuming in your meals and where the calories are coming from. You want most of those calories from protein and fat. again stressing on the need to keeping the calories to a sensible surplus.

With regards to training, all down to how much effort you are putting in, do atleast one upper body and one lower body max effort day in your weekly schedule. 19 sets for chest is a bit of an overkill. On max effort days, you will not be able to do 19 sets for chest, or you will be out of the gym with doms (delayed onset muscle soreness)for a week.

19 working sets in total, about 12-13 for chest and the rest triceps. What shall I eat on rest days? Some say reduce calories, some say keep them the same as your muscles still need the calories to recover. I stopped working out from early September cos of a health scare and I reduced my calories to about maintenance, I would do maybe like 10 mins of abs but not proper lifting.

1) Work out correctly - don't try and lift too heavy weights
2) Sleep minimum 7 hours a night, ideally 8
3) Eat at a calorific surplus - try about 3000 calories a day at first and give yourself 2-3 weeks and if you notice no change, add 100-200 more calories but I reckon 3000 is a good starting place.

Eat high quality carbs such as rice, pasta, oats, potatoes/sweet potatoes, for protein you should be having meat, seafood, greek yogurt and fats in your diet should be things like nuts and nut butters.

Some inspiration:

Amir was in the I'm a Celeb jungle for 3 weeks, the first picture is at the start of the show, the second one when he was eliminated yesterday. Lost a fair amount of weight, he never got to eat anything fancy outside rice/beans unless a challenge was won, and when it was won then 9 times out of 10 him and his team mates got to eat small portions of meat and vegetables. Besides that, he was seen doing simple exercises like shadow boxing, press ups, jogging on a spot etc nothing fancy. Point is, if you reduce your calorie intake and cut out junk food, work out a bit; you will drop the excess fat.

Yes but I wouldn't say he was fat before. He looked like someone does during "bulking" season

Can anybody suggest me some bodyweight exercise for upper body strength that doesn't involve use of hands particularly the wrists.

I know my question is stupid but i just started You are your own Gym exercise program but got diagnosed with carpal tunnel. Now cannot do the push/pull exercises mentioned in the book for upper body strength. Smh at my bad luck

Firstly, ask your doctor if you can do forearm exercises to strengthen the forearms and wrists. Increase in wrist strength might help you do push ups and pull ups to some extent. Wrists are critical part of workout especially for biceps and triceps and especially for body weight exercises.

If not, then try abdominal/core exercises like crunches, leg raises (flat bench, decline bench) , cycling crunches, plank.

For chest you can do the pec deck butterfly press and cable cross over without putting much stress on wrists but u need gym equipment for it.

For shoulders you need to do the dumbell and barbell press, shoulder shrugs. All with straight wrists which takes off the pressure from them. But again, you need dumbells for them.

Sorry to say but your main concern should only be the core strength which comes with abdominal exercises.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice.

I did go to the doc and he advised me to not do any dumbell or bodyweight exercises involving use of arms, wrists.

I will just have to stick to mark laurens leg/core exercise then for now

Yes that seems to be the safest option.

My cousin had similar problems. He couldnt use his left wrist for anything. So he tried to work on his forearm (wrist curls and all) and within 45 days his wrist strength developed considerably and he could lift light weight dumbells. However he didnt take any advice from any doctor so it isn't well advised to do it without the doctor's permission.

Yesterday done a job unloading heavy furniture from a lorry. Was quite knackering, would you say stuff like that can actually help muscles grow? Furniture was heavy, stuff like tables, chairs and benches aren't exactly light stuff.

Yes to an extent, but it will be more for increasing your conditioning and work capacity.

How's your gym routine and diet coming along?

The goal is to deadlift 495 by the end of February next year but I'm not gonna stress over it. The risks outweigh the benefits.

I can use left wrist for normal tasks. Just that when there is too much stress on wrist or i have to press or lift something, the tingling pain starts.

In my case, i had done pushups, bodyweight rows, dips and load of other exercises where the most stress was placed on the arms.

Wrist issue usually have origin in the forearm. In any case, there must be some form of rehab prescribed I would have thought?

I have not. I prefer doing it normally.

What got you to say 300 lb deadlift will not necessarily work for 400+. You will have to try different tactics.

Cluster sets train you to life near maximum in all of your workout. I found it to be the best way to train for maximal strength.

It's nothing fancy.... you lift 90%+ of your 1 rep max, re rack the weight, wait 10-30 secs and lift again ... go for 3-5 reps in the set. If you can hack it and is appropriate for the lift .. do the negative/eccentric part of the lift in 5-6 secs.

Wait 4-5 minutes before doing another set.

Less volume and higher frequency is the order here.

If you are juicing then you are in different ball park altogether ofcourse.

No, I'm not juicing. Smh. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing clusters and I never criticised them? I just think that I'm now experienced enough to know what's worked the best for me in the past. Am I perfect? No, I've had some injuries before.

You're absolutely correct and I agree with you that the same tactics will not always work for you. I will do clusters if the need arises.

 

[TQ89]

Wrist splints as he says I have mild carpal tunnel. Gotta wear them for two months and then he will see what to do next

How's your gym routine and diet coming along?

I was getting back into it properly at the end of November after an injury. Was getting my calories in which is probably the hardest thing cos of University life but then I got a bad cold so had to stop and I can't tell you how frustrating it is.
Now I'm home for Xmas and don't have gym membership obviously. Will probably buy some dumbells and work out at home and prioritize arms (Biceps/Triceps)which are a definite weak spot of mine, probably cos I'm tall. I'd be happy with my physique if my arms were a little bit bigger, pretty happy with legs, shoulders, back etc, they're not perfect by any means but satisfied enough with them. I've asked a lot of times on this thread but never get any help, what types of foods/meals would you recommend when bulking?

Dude that's awesome, I remember seeing your pics from few months back. This is pretty impressive the way you are committed.

I need to stop this start stop ** and go all out as well, but good gym memberships which are affordable are hard to find.

I started doing Insanity today so let's see where that goes in 12 weeks.

It was World Gym when I joined, now it's called Crunch Fitness.

 

[TQ89]

A noob question from me regarding building muscle. I want to know that is it possible to build muscle by just doing lower body/core exercises while on a high protein diet.

By building muscle, i don't mean biceps, chest or abs but just general back muscles or good leg muscles as i need any muscle i can get at this point to burn fat & lose weight to beat carpal tunnel. My doc has given me two months to lose some weight & then he will observe me to prescribe further treatment.

 

[Abdul]

Yeah, I'm aware of that. The one on Peter Robertson is within the walking distance for me.

I go to a community center instead. It's a one-time yearly pass for $270.

Do boxing training!!

 

[Suleiman]

Got serious about working out about a week ago and today reinjured my right arm trying to climb a jungle gym...

It is a very weird injury related to a nerve in my neck which is tight so my arm if put in an awkward position cramps up / or some type of muscle dislocates from what it feels like. It's like a surge of immense pain when it happens and I can't move my arm for few mins. It's better now, but my biggest fear is that I'm doing some resistance training and this thing reflares.

I really don't want to stop working out but this thing needs to heal. Thinking about doing some light calisthenics and seeing how it responds and working hard with my left arm which is fine. My right arm is stronger anyway (the injured one) so this will give my left arm time to catch up.

Lower body will stay the same hopefully.

How long have the regulars on here been going for?

 

[Madplayer]

How long have the regulars on here been going for?

I have been on and off since my teens but i have been a regular since last 2 years and now entering my 3rd.

 

[hadi123]

Bought some Cast iron adjustable dumbbells for the Xmas holidays so will be working out at home. They don't go too heavy though so it's not as effective as gym but will do for now, when I go back to Uni I can use the gym again so not the end of the world for just a couple of weeks.

Good thing about these weights is it's easier to train arms/shoulders which are smaller than chest/back/legs as obviously you can't go as heavy on arm exercises and arms are without a doubt my weak point, most likely as I'm tall so hopefully can improve these. But nutrition is the hard part, at Uni I can just buy meat and cook it for myself but when living with family it's more complicated as meat is bulk brought and not all in single serving sizes.

 

[shaz619]

Do boxing training!!

That is the best to be fair when it comes to dropping weight really quick, but it's too intense am past me peak but I intend on returning to boxing gym at some point once am in better condition

 

[Eagle_Eye]

How long have the regulars on here been going for?

13 years.

 

[humzy]

How long have the regulars on here been going for?

about 5 years consistently.

Anyone else finding the gyms empty after NYE? I was expecting the new years resolution crew to roll in in droves.

P.S mum brought KFC home for the nieces, i found some left overs in the fridge and couldn't resist *face palm* haha

 

[hadi123]

How can you tell fat percentage in mince if buying from butchers? Especially for beef as the % can make a huge difference for beef. Help would be appreciated [MENTION=139288]Abdul[/MENTION] [MENTION=49152]humzy[/MENTION] or anyone please help.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I've been on and off all since my teens. Should hopefully be beginning next week and can't wait to continue where I left off

That is the best to be fair when it comes to dropping weight really quick, but it's too intense am past me peak but I intend on returning to boxing gym at some point once am in better condition

Few years ago, I trained for a few months twice a week ...... and I wasn't in the best condition either...... unrelenting and brutal.

Good stuff.... hopefully first PPer to break the 500 barrier.

I'm not getting there by the end of February but it's all good. The last thing I want is potentially an injury at this stage forcing myself.

Back at uni, gonna miss my mum's cooking, when she makes food it's easy to get calories in. Now it's harder at uni where I'm more independent. What are some cheap easy foods? I can cook a little bit but am not too advanced.
