i disagree. In gnc it's super expensive. But individual sellers like here in lowyat forums are pretty reasonable.

Actually i've seen many skinny guys grow big but big ectomorphs still look ectomorph somehow...but this guy...i think he did very well for himself. Looks amazing

Seriously, it's easier to cut than to get big...

wow. you've tried cutting before? how easy?

For bulking, your stomach capacity determines how much you can eat at a time. Of course, for those disciplined enough to have the right meals 5 or 6 times a day, this should be no problem.

For cutting, I just reduce carb intake and do more cardio besides the regular weight training. That's all. Now you tell me which is easier?

to me, bulking is easier

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1170813 - your linkss. i personally recommend strength training currently on one of d programmes.

and for those who are ectomorphs yet worry about becoming fat instead of being fit.. here's something interesting..

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KF...3/ai_n13790098/

Wow, this is excellent I must say. I myself was about 89kg at 178cm. It was all fat and more fats. Beer belly, narrow shoulders, tits pointing out.

I've always wanted to join a gym, and yes you're right, the reasons, or more like excuses of:
-no time la
-after work tired la
-no money to join gym la
-this gym expensive, that gym don't have that

I did give these excuses, not until I started my sessions. I could barely do 10 push ups in a row. 0 pull ups without assistance. Can hardly run for 400m.

I knew i needed more energy. I was recommended to consume Creatine pre-work out. 1 little tub of Creatine was all I had. Pushed myself till I see stars everyday. Set a target, a finishing line everyday, beat that guy's time and try heavier weights (but not too heavy. Please understand your body. Injuries may just stop you from training for a long time)

2 months into training, I've seen some results. Cuts were showing a little. Motivation for clean food intake starts to kick in, I wanted them nice looking abs. I started to take in less carb, no chicken skin, no mamak food, no fast food, no supper and eat cleanest as I can. Of course, once in a while, I'll indulge myself into some of them but very minimally. It isn't easy, especially if you have friends who discourage and just put you down. But hey, you wanna look ugly and wear XXL, by all means.

Abs started to show..I can't remember when.

After 1.5 years, I've increased my weights during workouts, pull ups are routine. Runs 21km whenever there's 1 in a moderate time (2hrs 20minutes) and looking to improve during March's Energizer run.

But then, I started to look a little to thin, a little too lean. Now, I'm looking into some whey protein but have not found any yet.

Any recommendations?

Come back to Melaka and I've got one. It's been a while pal..

Yes, but--what's the time frame between photos?

this can be achievable in rather 4 months... if you do really EAT ALOT OF WHEY PROTIEN... 10lbs in a months which cost around RM300 for lowyat seller.

So hmm... and the foods is another more RM400... so am asking you, are you willing to do it? It's not the timeframe... it's the food and how much determination of weight you can put through. Some of the bodybuilding forums ... no pun intended on advertising other site... they did 56kg to 75kg in 4months.. and look really huge. Search for it on google, you'll be expecting much more than what most malaysians can do due to limited knowledge of bodybuilding. It has been always the protein, and more protein, if you are a professional bodybuilder they do RM300x20lbs a month which cost up to RM600 for a month!

Get more determination done SIR!

Give me resources, and I'll give you that body in 4 months! 6 months max the most! SIR!

guys i watch a video of home workout called P90X ...its look promising and it doesnt cost much like paying monthly on fitness or gym membership..what do you guys think?any1 tried it before?

Like you kotmj i believe in being a renaissance man/polymath. Why only excel in one aspect of life when we can excel in all.

Before I started gym i was 179cm 64kg, now I'm 79kg. Gaining the weight wasn't easy. I remember chomping down on a footlong subway everynight before i head to bed

I train so that I can make fun of fat people
