New here and looking forward to success PLEASE HELP

Post by nyratoncito »

Hello every one name is Carlos and I found this web and forum very helpful. I have started working out since the beginning of September and looking forward in gaining muscle mass but is seems that I only seen a small change on body. stomach as not change at all, I have been doing 20-22 min cardio (run) every time before I start lifting weights and abdominal exercises after lifting weights and nothing as change in appearance. I don't know what am I doing wrong. I am taking Whey Protein 30min - 1 hour after workout and also taking AMPLIFIED MUSCLE IGNITER 4X, AMPLIEFIED MAXERTION N.O from GNC 1/h before workout to give me strength and energy. I am also taking Mega Men from GNC in the morning after breakfast and at lunch time. Please give me advise, I really need it. I work our 5-6 day a week for 1-2 hours. I am not eating fatty food like I use to before I started working out. I am so exited to get to desire level, I have motivation but looking at no change seems to put me in a bad mood. lol Please advise me for better results to gain mass lean muscle. Thank you

okay then do cardio after weights not before because its better that way.5-6 days everyday??? 1-2 hours is a little too much you must keep it under a 1 hour and muscles dont grow without giving it them time to recover and repair themselves.what is your main goal is it to lose weight or gain lean mass??

Running willl gain you no lean mass. Infact it may make you loose mass if your not eatting enough.

and today you are dismayed at lack of results?

I'll check back here next September and see if you stuck to a plan and are still reporting weak results.

Warmest regards,

I started working out this September if it was the one last year I probably woould be frustrated at no results lol. Anyways I am not doing that much cardio like you guys advise me to do so and yes I should be more patients. When I go lift weights I do bench presses, arms sometime back and stuff Like that should I rest like two day you think every five days I work out? Anyways guys thanks 4 the advise.

yes this is the right way to go because since most of this are full body workouts you recuirt more fibers that way too, try doing heavy weights fewer reps, put some tempo into it for example you life it for 1-2 seconds then pause 1 second at the top of the movement and it should take you 3-4 seconds to lower it and you dont need supplements really because all you have to do is know how to do it right and with good form.

It is impossible to gain muscle & burn fat at the same time no matter what anyone tell you.
YES IT IS ITS CALLED HYBRID MUSCLE JUST BY DOING IT RIGHT YOU BE BUILDING MUSCLE AND BURNING FAT AT THE SAME TIME LOOK AT THIS http://leanhybridmuscle.com/access/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
