Well eliminating those 2 shakes a day is a great way to reduce your protein intake... ESPECIALLY the one before your workout. Thats just a waste.
That BB.com article?

Durden is against everything reminds me of this fitness guru I know he calls it "Muscle & Fiction" (the magazine) You can say a lot of things rbs but there is still great info inside. To be honest Durden I don't agree with a lot of ACE info an honestly its outdated.

Make it yourself. Go to the market and there's an aisle where they sell dried fruits and head over to the aisle where they sell cake toppingsto get the almonds. Mind you that cranberries, natural almonds, and raisins are far from being low in calories...they just contain good fats with a lot ofgood nutrients.

I agree that a lot of ACE information is outdated, but im not saying that I go by ACE on everything. I get a lot of my information from othersources.
I just think that BB.com has bad motives, is a niche-oriented site that is trying to appeal to the masses, is full of amateur information.
There IS good information on that site, but its the same information that can be found in numerous journals, sites, articles, publications, etc. Youll findcontradicting info on that site too.

Aside from hiring a basketball trainer, YouTube and your local bookstore will be your best friend. Athletes aren't body builders so theydon't train the traditional way.Originally Posted by INFAMOUS

Don't use supplements, your way too young for it because your body is still growing. You shouldn't really start using supplements untilyour early 20's. I would say eat really good kinds of healthy food, like after a workout some chicken breast/drumsticks minus the skin, some good greenveggies/salad and beans and rice or cous cous or another type of grain. To gain weight you need to consume more calories, but the right kinds from the rightfoods or else you'll just gain fat. But your still young and since you say you want to gain weight leads me to believe your skinny so your metabolism isprobably good.
You should just look at the things you eat right now and just add a little to each meal, don't stuff your face but just consistently add a bit more, orsplit up your meals during the day so instead of have 3 big meals your having 5-6 smaller meals.
But yea no supplements is what I say, I've heard bad things from teens who use supplements when their bodies are still growing.

So I've decided to take on an oath and try to incorporated a form of cardio into all my workout days. This morning, I was running short on time so Istarted to do HIIT instead of jogging after I just woke up. Should HIIT help me burn fat/lose weight just as well or does effectiveness only apply to at least20 min of jogging?
And to Supreme Ape, how did you exactly get there? Where you always lfiting/doing cardio on the same days?

and i can always use some advice, cause a little change in your program can work wonders

what kind of protien/supplement do you use? for your age of 19 your not that bad, but usually male growth ends around the age of 23 or earlier,so maybe you've reached that certain age where your not gonna grow anymore or maybe not idk and you don't know.
I would say that for anyone under 20 just get their nutrition from live sources, but healthy live sources. My problem with people under 20 taking supplementsis that your not just getting protien from the powder your getting glutamine and other anabolic stuff that your body doesn't need at that time. If youreally want to take a supplement I would go for a pure whey product since it gets digested by the body right away.
But I haven't scoped out the products on the market for a long time so idk if they would have a product with just whey protein and not contain stuff likeglutamine and creatine and that kinda stuff made for adults.

Getting back to the "Muscle and Fiction" comment from earlier... I will say that its very difficult to put out a high quality magazine onfitness/exercising monthly. VERY difficult.

Durden all those mags are SO recycled with info, I always scan em all everytime I'm in wal mart/grocery store though. I don't subscribe to any. I dopick up sometimes if something interest me. I check em all flex, muscle & development, mens health, etc.

I want to get a tattoo and I was curious to know if cutting/bulking has played any factor in terms of stretching or shrinking?
I plan to get my first one on my chest, a quote so I'm sure it won't make much of a difference.

Not to be a jerk, but this is probably the 5th time, at the minimum, this question has been asked in the thread...just go back and read the pagesinstead of waiting to be spoon fed. You need to get rid of that layer of lard covering your abs. Eat right, work out. Don't get pipe dream of doing 100crunches a day will get you abs. Just like with every other muscle groups, the abdomen needs to be stimulated and given time for rest.
Started high weight/low rep today and man, I burn through the sets a lot quicker than last month when I did the low weight/high rep.
