I'm currently focusing on working out my arms and chest so every week i go gym 2 times, one day for arms and the other for chest. i normally go on tuesday and wednesday. Before i go gym i'll take creatine and after working out i'll take creatine again and protein plus glutamine and meats stuff. my question is, do i need to take creatine and protein on the day when i'm not working out? i normally take creatine only for tuesday and wednesday. protein for tuesday till friday. since after friday i normally don't feel any pain at the muscle anymore.

thanks in advance.

creatine and protein can be taken everyday together. try searching the forum theres loads of advice on how to take your supplements. Although i do think that your workout days is not enough. why only arms and chest though? shoulders are important too if you wanna develop the beach bod look.

chest and arm once a week too less ? btw i take creatine everyday..5-10g

Creatine and protein everyday. Not much point in giving your body some one day and then your body finds nothing in the tank on others.

I believe what mike meant was not the frequency of training chest and arms, but rather that he was ONLY training chest and arms.

yeah.. one week i train only two days. first reason being i am really busy nowadays. i could only squeeze 2 days a week for workout. when I'm free during sunday, the gym i used to go is close
Another reason i don't train shoulder and abs is because i already have a broad shoulder ( i used to swim and work out a lot on the shoulder) and flat abs cause i used to kinda skinny without tummy..so now i just wanna make my body thicker by training on the chest and arms..




so one week i work out two days but i gotta take creatine and protein everyday???4 out of 7 days are not enough stil uh?? then my wallet wil have holes d .. lol ..

bodybuilding isnt a cheap hobby dude...if youre going to gym just to exercise and get fit then its not a prob but if youre bbing then u need to spend more...what you feed your body counts ...but you can always take in real foods ...oats,milk,eggs is good protein source...

Hi, can i know what's the best way to prepare creatine? shake or stir or just gulp em down? creatine is just hard to dissolve..

sorry, a noob question here, what is the diff between creatine and whey protein? tq

Go Google both and if you still don't understand then you ask again.

One smells better than the other.

just stir it..

You eat oats? If so, what do you think of the GI of instant oats and steel cut oats and whether u think it's necessary to eat steel cut oats for both cutting and bulking phases?

Btw oats is a "good protein source"?

mix with warm water, dissolve amazingly fast

Carb source more likely. The ratio for carbs over protein is alot higher, i dunno how much oat u got to eat to get 30g of protein. lol

Boss long time no see you at TF.

I m training in the morning, only once a while at night, but the crowd is crazy during night time. U r permanent in TF?

Yeah, the crowd is fine. I always train around 7-9pm. No matter how many people it's never crowded, not like FF.

FF menara Axis? yeah tat place is small hehe. I m too use to morning session, its like the gym is urs lol.

My sis frequents that place. I still love TF Jaya `. Damn a lot of hardcore fellas there. Then of course there're the regular posers and bench press tag teams and assholes who leave dumbbells all over the place.

yeah i saw them on saturday session. Oh yes, hate those mofos, never bother to put back their freaking weight. hehe poser happens alot, even there is no much ppl in the morning i still met quite a numbers of them, just yesterday morning, theres one dude with 2 gals, trying to be smart asking the gal to bench and advise them... "U got to lock ur arm when u come up" lol.

I saw this young punk picking up 2 barbells and setting them down. He curled both, put one back and left the other there. I asked him if he was gonna put it back cos if I trip over it and get hurt, I get annoyed. People don't like it when I get annoyed. He said ok sorry and put it back. The PT's who were watching gave me the thumbs up sign. Lol. Seriously feel sorry for them, ain't their mess but they're forced to clean up after those uneducated lowlifes.

lol, he has already put one back and still cant bother to put the other one back, seriously these ppl are lack of discipline. It wasnt tat bad last time, nowadays there is more ppl joining in and the probability of B@s tard increase at the same time. Dayum.

i'll be joining next year, haha and i won't be a *******

i just died laughing at this quote, dark!

i know we gotta take 1g protein for every pound. is it good if we take over than tat?? any side effect for having too much of protein ?

nobody says it must b 1g per pound bodyweight. i have read articles recommending 1.5-2g. nevertheless, make sure u r close to tat range b4 even worrying about it.

"must" being the operative word.

although iirc i think it was 1g/lbs to maintain and more than that to grow. i might be wrong though.
