Began taking Appeton Weight Gain, chocolate flavor. Don't like the taste, wonder how to make it taste better ? Currently I am adding Cadbury choc powder to mask what I think is the soy taste in the Appeton.

On another question, when it says warm water, does it really have to be warm ? I find boiling hot water easier for the powder to dissolve.

It depends on every individual.

Most dude buy protein and whey supplement.

I never dig those. It doesnt suit my taste bud.

Taste kinda synthetic.

That is why i prefer to drink off the shelf milk especially farmfresh. Though it might be consider more pricy if you drink at least 1/2 litre of it daily. Which gives around 400-450kcal.

Yup it tasted off. On your approach to drink cow milk, wouldn't drinking soy milk be better for your wallet ?
Not sure if you'll get the same kcal for 1/2 litre, but drinking more of it would equate to the same.

Yup i notice soy milk is wayy cheaper.

However not keen on that due to higher estrogen effect. May give me manboobs.

Hi sifus, I'm looking to seriously train up ONLY my forearm / arm / wrist etc, anything that is in my arm, so I'm thinking of getting adjustable dumbbells but not sure which brand is best to get with good decent quality.

Anyone can recommend me which adjustable dumbbells to get ? There's virtually unlimited in Shopee but not sure which is actually good.

I dont do isolation weightlifting. Mostly just compound weightlifting.

If you been consistent with your sets and routine and does progressive overload over the months/years. There will be a stage after few months or after a year….your arms will look bigger and much more gain than your body. Its natural. Bcoz everytime you do any upper body workout, your arm will always take part in it.

I use this type of adjustable dumbell, 40kg x 2, bought it and shipped from china directly by sea. Cost around 800d++/pair

Pros: space saving and convenient
Con: actual weights less than 40kg, aound 37+ kg/side and these type cannot drop on floor.

Overall it is good for home gym setup.

eat less and being in caloric deficit at the same time without no cheating on your diet will eventually reduce your stomach

more abs exercises wont reduce your stomach

Currently losing some weight. Didnt track my meal calorie and mealtime. Around 66.4kg right now. I got some bad fever 3-4 days, and the after effects one week + after. Lose a lot of appetite. That is why my weight reduce to 66.4kg. Didnt keep track of the food intake for quite some time before that and weight reduce a bit but still maintain at 68kg.

My best advice is a change of habit is needed. Everyday must eat calorie surplus. Always update in ur phone note ur progress. Stick to it 3-4 weeks minimum and then it will become ur new habit. Ur body will auto remind you when it needs sustance.

When i was 60kg, I can have a heavy breakfast, skip lunch, eat early dinner around 5-7pm and that was it.

After gaining weight 68.5-70kg, those diet not gonna cut it. Minimum will eat breakfast, lunch, makan petang, dinner. Sometimes even supper. Doesnt even have to force yourself. The body will signal to you they are hungry(insufficient calorie and protein)

My calorie maintenance is around 2100-2200 right now.

Thats the most important thing. The gym is only 1/3 part of it.

Calorie is total energy you need to sustain and maintain your current bodyweight. All counts.

However you need a higher protein count if your bulking with weight lifting to gain muscle instead of just fat.
