was in your shoes few mths ago.
bought some mass gainer. but as what other bros advised, do concentrate more on real foods.

example: peanut butter with bread, almonds (i like those coated in honey) etc etc.

hi guys, if i'm doing cardio (squash) and hitting the gym few times a week,
and i want to gain some volume to my body ( i assume its called bulking ), should I start dirty bulking?
cuz even if i drink gainers/proteins, eat regularly (only breakfast, lunch, dinner), i seem to just be getting fitter (i see some shape but its still considered skinny).

Have a read on several stickies thread here such as this one. You'll understand what you actually need.

thanks, the mass gainer you bought does it work for you?

i've no idea. but i just chugged on it anyway (Musclemeds Carnivor Mass), split the serving to half morning, half noon.
In concentrating more on real food, in the first week u might struggle to eat more, cos not used to it.
but after that, u will naturally b hungry, then start searching for food.

my body type is ectomorph with 5 feet 9 inch and 57kg. very skinny.

i plan to reach 70kg weight by lifting and high protein diet. but i wonder, will i lose back if i reduce my lifting workout and eat just normal 3 meals instead of 5-6 meals per day ?

in another words, will i stay on at 70kg if i stop working out and eating 3-4 meals per day ?

Since I'm in a good mood albeit a bit tired today, I'll answer your questions.

Meal timing will never effect your progress. Doesn't matter if you eat 1 time a day or 10 times a day, it is all about calorie in vs calorie out. If you do consumed enough calorie for you to grow, then you'll grow. If you eat 10 times a day but you never consumed calorie to even fulfill your TDEE, then you'll never grow.

Is there any method than high protein may I ask?

when i did pumping, my shoulder hurts, not sure if it's the joints or muscle, but it feels more like the joints, what is the implication of this?
should i continue doing pumps or should i stop?

If your shoulders are hurting then I have to say that your form is wrong.

There are many problems with shoulders when your form isn't right.
What I suggest is look up the proper form and try it with less weight the next time you lift.

It is really important to have proper form, it helps the muscles grow in proportion and reduces the risk of injury.

For example not flailing out your elbows when benching or have them at a 90 degree angle from your body but instead have them below your shoulders to reduce the stress on your shoulders and also get a better pump on your chests.

All these things you can find easily on the internet just search for proper form for whatever exercises your doing!!

It is very important

Very Huge and an informative thread, I want describe briefly that red eat meat at least once in a weak and try to get quality sleep you must sleep at least 6 hours in a day.

One of my fav post workout meal: One can of Tuna in Water, 2 table spoons of coconut oil, big onions, garlics, chilly flakes and 6 whole eggs. You ma too with some oregano.. Simply yummy!!!!!

Try it and share with me...

bro, where else do you get your dietary fat man? Only from them coconut oil?

you can put 2 tea spoon olive oil in your protein shake also. protein taste will cover it. :-)

hmm I went and check the prices of olive oil, seem on the high side. Where and which one did you get?
