Morning
Correct me if I am wrong.
No carbs at all and only eat protein/veggies can make us grow?

Sometimes just get demotivated after seeing other achievement in the gym. Has been in gym 4 years ++ but hardly get another obvious result. This could be contributed by diet (vegetarian diet). Train alone for 2 years++ after graduate and never see any huge changes on my body. Sometimes i just doubt if i am doing what i suppose to do. As skinny guy, shall i just accept the truth or keep going...doubts raised whenever my body cannot sustain the muscle shape upon finish gym.

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Jun 23 2016, 11:54 AM) bro, so I did some checks and it is recommended my daily calorie intake should be around 2500 + 10% so should be around 2800 to 2750. I'm not taking any whey to achieve my daily calorie intake as of now. So what do you think my diet would look like. |

And no I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I'm dead serious. I don't like giving meal plans. It's too rigid. |

I'm not taking any whey to achieve my daily calorie intake as of now. So what do you think my diet would look like. Whey is not magic. Whey is just, slightly expensive, convenient and very easy to prepare type of food in powder form, liquid after you mixed with water.With / without whey at 2800kcal, your result will have no significant difference. You already have the numbers, fill up the number with real foods, just that simple. Regardless what you eat, you need to fill number. You can eat ice cream all day, but I doubt you can hit the numbers. We don't do that not because ice cream is "magically" makes you fat, it just don't fit into our numbers. And it will bring health issue cause of the refined sugar and preservatives, but isn't related to growing. |

Hey guys, I've been lifting for about 3 months now. I have been counting my calories intake, protein intake and fat intake and I've been consistent with it. I've gained about
12KG and have noticed significant strength gains. This is the routine i'm running on now every week. Day 1 - Biceps / Triceps { 4 variation each part with 4 sets and 10 reps } Day 2 - Chest { 5 variation with 4 sets and 10 reps } Day 3 - Shoulder / legs { 5 variation each part with 4 sets and 10 reps } Day 4 - Rest Day 5 - Biceps / Triceps ( same as day 1 ) Day 6 - Chest ( same as day 2 ) Day 7 - Shoulder / legs ( same as day 3 ) My question is that if I'm doing too many workouts in a week with too little rest ? |

Another read that I personally think will be of help is the Dual Factor Training Theory. |

QUOTE(Bdeee @ Apr 14 2018, 04:05 PM) I don't know how your body looks like right now but it's just that there is an estimate of how much muscle one can pack in a month. Most believe it is up to 2lbs or 1kg. If you put up weight too fast most of them is probably fat and then you'll have to deal with the stretch marks and stuff. It's a hassle. |

Hi Sifus - I think this is the right thread to ask this question.
I started working out 1+ years ago. From 80kg to currently 68kg. Currently (based on the gym's smart scale), I have 18% body fat and 53kg of muscle mass. My objective is to reduce my body fat % between 13-15% and increase my muscle mass. However, recent 3 months, I noticed that my body fat% is the same and I am struggling to increase my muscle mass. Even worse, seems like my muscle mass is slowly decreasing for the past few weeks (I weigh my self regularly and take the weekly average ). I track my calories intake and do progressive overload. Working out 3x a week. My daily calories intake average around 1800-2000 (based on mobile app). I'm reducing my calories intake to 10-20% since number of articles mentioned I should be doing this to reduce fat and increase muscle at the same time. So, is there's anything that I should be doing more? Or I did wrong? Appreciate all sort of advice. Thanks! |

Actually the hardest stuff in bodybuilding is eating. I hate the food I eat all the time. And I usually have problems with sleeping, it slows my progress a lot.
