Yeah I have been trying to add more carbs in, all wholemeal stuff. Also been looking at getting some weight gainer shakes to add some calories daily..

On an average day I try to eat something along these lines: Breakfast: porridge with toast Snack: protein bar and fruit Lunch: wholemeal bagel with chicken breast and pint of milk Snack (pre workout): toast and fruit Dinner: (varies each day) spaghetti bolonaise, potato bake, chicken breast n veg, c...

Hey, I am currently 6"6 and 85kg basically quite tall and thin. I need some advice on bulking up, I train pretty hard in the gym, but find it hard to put on size. I am getting quite toned, but would like to put on some actual size and bulk. Any advice in terms of diet and calorie intake would b...

yup I do pushups to warmup chest before the main chest workout.....just wondered if it is too much to add another chest excersise in......

One last question I have is that chest is smaller compared to arms and back, so can I add in another chest excersise each full body workout...like some db flyes? as I would like chest to catch up with everything else!

ok...so perhaps dont do a chest excersise all three days?.....do one on the 1st and third day and replace it with a row on the 2nd day?

Hey, I have just started doing a full body workout and wanted some feedback on workout. so i mix it up from week to week but generally it looks like this. I do the workout 3 times a week. Sets: 3 Reps: 7-10 chest: bench press back: bent over rows legs: dealifts shoulders: military press then 2 isola...

Basically I want know the best times to consume protein out side of meals !

Thanks!

Hey guys, just a quick question I have about when to consume protein shakes. At the moment I have: Training days: a shake mid morning and post-workout non-training days: a shake mid morning and around 5.30pm (at the time I would usually be ending workout) I consume protein with each meal any ways, b...

I have started the full body and must admit that I felt it first session! I am planning to do it three times a week, with 48 hours rest....is this enough, as I am quite sore 48 hours after doing it for the first time!

cheers again for the help guys, I am changing to full body asap!

one thing is that at the moment I have a bad kneee, so cant really put pressure on it ie: doing squats. should I still do the full body programme leaving out any squats?

your along the right lines (apart from those leg curls) but you only really need 1 exercise per muscle group,so it should look something like this: 1*squats 2*bench press 3*bb rows 4*bb stepups you can add in something else like lockouts or something for tris,and a core exercise. and yes it will pr...

if not using full body then the only split you'd use is a lower/upper x 2 a week each split even though your legs are big they might not be strong which is where deadlifts and squats are required as well as single leg work to keep you injury free. Ok Swanso....so what your saying is that if I prefe...

ok cool, ill try it out....have you ever used split training personally...I would be interested to see what a split routine would consist of in your opinion, on terms of sets and excersises...

ok...so basically, you would be working your arms within these lifts....cutting out direct lifts such as dumbell curls, tricep pushdowns etc.... does this style of workout still promote muscle gains as apposed to split workout on individual body parts? so perhaps something along these lines.... benc...
