Hey there. I can relate to you about the height ;-)

As far as your goals are concerned...please read the last 10 pages of the thread. I have posted a few VERY good bulking plans on there and a great 5x5 plan for strength and size. Please read up on those last 10 pages, then get back to me with more specific question(s)

Yes, but it would be a LOT more than 5 liters lol.

To get water poisoning would require 1-2 gallons of water in a very short period of time (10-30 minutes).

Enough that it would disrupt your electrolytes and dissolve all the minerals in your body.


5L of water a day is FINE and recommended!

Hey there...please read the last 10 pages of the thread...theres a lot of info there for people trying to bulk up.

Just for reference purposes, in addition to a good meal plan and the 5x5 plan for strength and size, please also look into cytosport cytogainer and take it twice a day in addition to your regular meal plan. You will see a lot of good solid gains.

After you go back and look at the plans I have posted, please get back to me with more specific questions! thanks!

This is an excellent question.

The answer isn't black and white.


Here's the deal:

Test is indeed depleted during exercise...and sexual activity...HOWEVER, both of those things also GENERATE test production!! Crazy I know.

Ejaculation in and off itself actually sets forth a positive test balance...which is why in some EXTREME cases, bodybuilders will actually have sex right before working out (15-20 mins before) and actually boost their test levels by almost 80% for the workout ahead. This is the best idea because the most test is used DURING the workout but is replenished post workout.

So in short, the best idea would be to perform sexually first, and workout second....then perform sexually after the workout as well.

If you start feeling the lack of desire, that is a sign of overtraining as well as under-nutrition. You need to start eating more, and working out a tiny bit less and get the proper balance going.

If you are still having any questions or problems, I will help you via PM if necessary.

Hey there.

that peanut butter is a fine product, you can definitely eat more than 1tbsp a day lol. The serving size on the page you sent me is for something along the lines of 6-8 tbsp. Peanut butter is healthy and can be taken frequently for good fats, some protein, and overall good taste and satisfaction.

As far as cardio goes, that is step 1 in the right direction. To properly become lean you need to have a proper cutting diet, cardio in the AM as well as post workout, and a good overall workout plan.

I have made a few of these recently, please see the last 10 pages.

absolutely.

All musclegroups can be "overworked". Some are more resistant than others - IE: Calves, Abs, Forearms.

However, training abs more than 3x a week is not recommended.

Hey there -

Get NOW! Arginine + Ornithine and take 2-3g pre- and during workout. (also before bed is good)

as far as BCAA's....the Optimum Nutrition BCAA-1000 are pretty good. I've never used the 2:1:1 recovery product...so I couldn't tell you if its any good...but I'd stick to the BCAA's for now.

I am incredibly sore I had to take today off.

Assuming I go tomorrow: Should I do todays workout, tomorrows workout, or tomorrows with a little bit of today?

Should I be icing my muscles, or will that contract them and prevent the growth/build?

Can I add an extra meal at the end of my day? I work out at night and feel like I need more food to feed my muscles (although I am trying to cut small stomach fat). Maybe some hard boiled eggs/cheese stick, what do you think. I want to eat enough to gain muscle yet not the wrong foods where I am putting on fat.

Thanks.

Do today's workout tomorrow.

DO NOT ICE YOUR MUSCLES.

Instead, try stretching and glutamine!

As far as an extra meal, yes you can. Make sure it's all protein and no impact carbs...stick to protein shakes, lean meats (like eggs, turkey, tuna, chicken, lean beef, etc) and green veggies.

Is this a decent supplement? I know it's probably overpriced, but are the ingredients decent?
