you keep whining. What do you want ? Do your own research, you don't even know the difference between carbs, protein, and fats.

when doing deadlifts, what are the signs to look out/feel for that you are not doing it correctly ?

yeah, am quite apprehensive when it comes to lifts involving the back. that's something i will look out for.

what about 'feel' ? i can feel the strain + tension on the lower back when lifting, that's normal right ? how to know when you've rounded your back/ wrong form , where would the tension be at ?

Yeah LV, i get you. Thanks LV and pizzaboy !

correct me if i am wrong. rounding of the back means your lower back is not in its natural 'S' curve. meaning instead of a inverted 'C' or ), it becomes a 'C' or ( . I am assuming that that you are facing -->.

@thecrab and @elvenchou1987
you guys meant PF @ Ivory ? When do you guys train ?

yep. mornings only

Define natural ? Is whey/creatine 'unnatural' ?

1. The way he phrased it, implied that whey was unnatural. That's how i read it.
2. Think before you type, i've seen plenty of your useless+uninformative+misleading replies in other threads.
3. Stop going crazy over anyone with a 'female' tag, you've never seen any before ?
4. Now, train hard.

Can db squats give you a good a workout as the ordinary barbell squats ? Just asking.

i am about 70kg same height , squatted 165lbs including the bar last week,deadlift about 140lbs. but i can't bench pass 100lbs

er. if i am not mistaken, you only have one bicep muscle ?

You can listen to those who probably sit all day in a lab, and the heaviest thing they would ever lift is their fingers, or those people who dedicate their time to lifting and eating.

'Adding more protein but not more calories or exercise to your diet won't help you build more muscle mass, but it may put your other bodily systems under stress.
Eating more protein and increasing total caloric intake while maintaining the same exercise level will build an equal amount of additional fat and muscle mass, according to a study published in 1992 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.'
That study is 18 years old, i won't put too much weight on that.

Sorry arekey, i missed out some points.

But then again, people who advocate you taking 1.5g of protein/pound per day are people who work in the labs, for scivation, ON, gaspari,etc . People who directly gain a benefit from you consuming their products. So what do you take from that ?

I can say for most of us here, at least for me, who is still very much new to this, won't be able to hit 200g of protein per day. but i do what i can, lift hard, and enjoy the journey.

Ultimately, it really boils down to the individual. Everyone is built differently. Bodybuilding is for life, you are the only one who can figure out what works or not.

and do you see progress ?

one question, what's the point in binge eating ? can an excess of 2000 calories in one day help you build anything ?

ah. that was directed at ijnek who is somehow implying we should eat like that often to 'make us tough mentally' and 'test your stomach limits'

oh ! sorry about that

how tall are you ? 150cm ? then you need to do 2 hours of cardio everyday, and eat 20 eggs per day. and eat some protein powder.

@Kasey Brown

So you are saying that 2 persons, who undergo the same training routine, one eating 3000cals worth of milkshakes and another eating 3000worth of protein loaded meals, will be able to gain the same amount of weight ? genetic differences excluded. What about muscle mass ?
