HI guys..

Am new here, just started going to the gym for 1month plus already.. and quit smoking as well. (Damn it feels good to be actually in fit)

My question is, i go to the gym 4-5 days straight, working on diffrent muscles/sections per day.  But last week (CNY) it was Super super busy, and i only managed to do 1 day of gym.  Does this effect my progress to bulking up?  My goal is to get a better (like those in the men fitness magazines) looking body... not be a skinny arse..
 

Height: 178
Weight : 74kg

Thanks for your time, been reading up on the forum a fair bit.  You guys are just awesome...

It will effect your progress but don't think much about that. BB is all about lifestyle. Unless you have a deadline for competition, yes, you need to be worried.

Oh God.... you are getting more and more annoying. And newbies rarely annoy me. And you are definitely annoying some of the regs here already. I can tell, trust me. We don't mind questions but you ask redundant shit without reading the stickies. You want us to what? Copy and paste word for word? So what about my efforts and the efforts of others in posting all the important threads there on the first page???

Nada? Zilch? Tiada? Boh liao? Koshkesh la... goozidamn too cheshment.

Hurm, I don't know where are you going with this advice. Either you are giving bad advice on something you don't know or you are trying to troll here.

I'm always eating below my BMR. Will this be bad for my muscles? Will it get depleted by the body? Maybe I should eat below my BMR but eat more protein to ensure my muscles are maintained.

Basically when I'm at the gym. I'll do 30 min of cardio on the treadmill then move on to weights. Got 2 goals to achieve so far. 1 is to get those abs and in the meantime work on my arms and chest to get stronger.
*
If BMR, yes. If TDEE, depends. If too much, it's bad. If just a lil bit lower, for weight loss is good.

Do you guys incorporate the bar's weight on the smith machine? Or just treat is as 0 and just count them plates?
*
The bar weight on the smith machine is 15 lbs. Different smith machine may have different bar weight but it should be stated on the machine.

Yes i do failed on grip,  40kg, not daring enough to go heavy. Scare of stunt growth, form not so sure correct but learn from videos.

It's a myth. Unless you broke/slipped a few disc on your spine, then it's all good to do deadlift. GO heavy on deads, RAW.

by not using straps, you will train your grip, hence will make your forearm grows big

to build muscle faster, whey or meat is better ?
*
proper diet is better. You can drink 20 scoops of whey but if you fail to consume the required amount of calories to build them muscles, you'll stay small

You are going to lie on the floor and press the bar using your feet? If that so, I strongly suggest you to not do that. Why not do lunges?

The last time I checked, this thread is titled as Bodybuilding Q&A. I've asked a question and I'm sorry if I offended you in any way but I don't think "Wow, really?" is an answer to my question.
*
What is actually a PUSH exercises? An exercise with a PUSHing motion. Does Deadlift is PUSHing? Or issit PULLing? Even though this is a Q&A thread, there must be a certain level of question that can be asked here. Just saying

Look, if I knew then I wouldn't be asking questions here. I thought the push/pull applies to our body's motion. Anyway, thanks for answering. I just hope you, alien9 and -Dan can be a tad more polite. This forum is suppose to be a friendly forum and not bashing people for not knowing.

Apparently too much newbie coming here asking fellow forumers to treat them nicely. Come on, a simple common sense is hard for you to gasp?

Remember this, in the IRON GAME, no one gonna be nice with you. You want to be treated nicely, this is not for you.

5x5 is recommended ? did you gain much ? any links or articles that is useful for beginner like me ? biggrin.gif

Gains depend on you. If you have good diet + good workout, you'll see gains. Bad diet + epic workout, you'll not see less gains. Construct a good diet, stick to a workout program at least for 6 months. Then you'll know whether a workout is good for you or not.

(Beginner Question about Deadlifts) - to all the seniors here.

Is it normal for my lower back to feel pain during&after deadlifts? Or is it because of bad form?

I've just started doing deadlifts this month. It's my 3rd time doing it. Lifting about 60kg(not including the bar).
*
Deadlift works your back, the whole back. And traps, legs, core, forearms. If you doing it correctly, then you got nothing to worry about.

100g of Beef = 32g protein is pretty amazing lol. But yeah well, time to cut down on my protein intake  doh.gif

Nothing would happened if you consumed more protein. Marc LoBliner (ex-ceo of Scivation) took 500g of protein each day because his calorie intake for competition is around 5K kcal. As long as you consume enough calorie to bulk, then you are good to go.

LTK Omega 3 eggs has 10g of protein, legit? Lol. Seems pretty 'amazing'.

Its 10g per 100g but the egg weight is somewhere around 80g, so the protein is 8g per one egg.

i usually just counter the weight until right pass my knees and let them drop by themself
*
Well, better don't do deadlift then. Sure, do it heavy but not the proper way by letting go of the bar from knee level? Of course people will get mad at you.

I'm in need of help
You can say that i'm desperate in gaining muscle mass
I've been bulking for at least 3-4 months already
And my weight has increase to AVERAGE 2kgs which is very extremely little, well thats what the people in the gym told me
My diet and workout plan
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry60311605
Feedbacks needed, thanks! Slow bulking makes me feel like giving up and cut, but at the same time you feel like bulking all the way and cut in the end
Thanks guys!
*
It seems that the only macro nutrition that you've calculate is protein. Where is the carb and fats? How much is the total calorie taken each day? Seems like you missed quite a lot of things there.

For bulking, calorie in > calorie out but I think you should know that right?

I try to eat as clean as possible, clean bulking but results very slow. Is my carbs intake too low?  hmm.gif

Darklight79 would say 'you wash your samwich too'? biggrin.gif

Jokes aside, as per above reply about clean bulk, it's not the type of food. It's the amount of calorie surplus. 20% extra max for clean, more than that is dirty. Heck, you can eat chicken breast all day long but if you eat that and it makes your calorie surplus to 1K, what would that call? clean dirty bulk? Haha

Anthony do explain it thorough about the requirement needed to bulk successfully. thumbup.gif

haha, cheers mate thanks for your response. Btw, should i take glutamine? intra-workout, would you recommend?

I don't know about glutamine so I cannot say anything on that. Intra-wo or any pre wo depends on you. Are your working days are tiring? A pre WO might help you a lot. Does your recovery time between sets took longer than usual, intra-wo would be the solution.
