Yes you did

Now get back to the topic

i'm trying to gain muscle weight...been eating like crazy...but sadly ate too much junk and ended up with a big belly....how do i get rid of the fat without losing the muscle that i've build....is there any chance that i can still build muscle and loss fat??? some people ask me to clean up my diet...hmmm...help please...

yes it is. you have to be careful of what you ingest.

eating clean and weight training is the key.

I lost 5% of bf and maintained the same bodyweight over 5months with 4days of weight training a week and 1 day of sports(basketball, my only cardio).

wow tineagle thats awesome. your diet must be pretty clean man. mind sharing diet and ur training plan?

thanks. I am really strict 5 days a week, and let loose a little during weekends(still maintain high protein, just allow more calories and cheat meals but with limitation).

Diet consists of the high protein, mod carbs, mod/low fat 6 meals a day. 3 main meals, 2 snacks(usually sandwiches/boiled eggs), 1 post workout shake.

Main source of carbs are pasta, oatmeal and white rice(post workout meals only).
Protein from WHOLE eggs, milk, chicken, fish, and red meat.

Training is a 4 day split. mon-thurs, friday 2+ hours of basketball(cardio).

seems to be working out great for me.

I was 72kg with 22%bf a year ago. The last test I did 3 weeks back at CF Subang Parade showed 75.4kg at 16.4% bf.

it's self-discipline man. you don't expect things to happen overnight.
if you cant control your own food, nobody can.
just like any overweight ppl out there, they know wat they r eating, but they refuse to control and regret it later...

damn. great inspiration bro. 1 year and 6% bf down with weight up. thats some great results bro. keep it up! pics pics pics hehehe

2) look fit but not look bulky and muscular when they are underweight

well, you can do it and the mod will sticky it.

here's a question

how many of you here actually swims every week? Frankly i dont know how to swim but put that aside, i just wana know

is swimming good for bodybuilding? as in a good type of workout to tone muscle?

Yes but it'll take 3-4 years........
I dont know wat to say.

ok lol~

anticipating for the end of my finals, i wana start working out in gym asap!!!

aprox 2 more weeks to go!

depends on genetics and consistency of swimming and types of routine u do
back in high school ramai my chinese took up swimming from zero to brawny
and it took them around 1-2 years
tapi diet jaga and they swim consistently 5 days a week under professional supervision that is

Hey man. I swim 4 times a week, two hours at a time normally. Don't know how much it helps with bodybuilding though, I just swim for relaxation.

i doubt it has much to do with bodybuilding.
it may be a good exercise (whole body)
but i dont think it helps u to gain muscles.
maybe toning yes... or some muscles in certain areas.
but not as bodybuilding is concern.

If you want to look like a bodybuilder, you have to train, eat and live like one.
If you want to look like a swimmer, then u do what a swimmer does.

so if u wanna look like a bodybuilder, but want to do swimming, you would look like a swimmer instead of a bodybuilder.

it doesnt help much
good cardio if u ask me

neek is correct

I have sex for relaxation.

On a side note, bodybuilding isn't just going to the gym. Hence the famous equation:-
Bodybuilding = recovery = bodybuilding
Recovery = proper nutrition, proper nutrient timing and adequate recuperation.
No one gets bigger in the gym, they get bigger outside the gym.
