i would love some advice for myself and my friend. both with different problems.
think my friend said he has tried whey protein and codine? not sure what the other one was but yea he said they did nothing. he is around 5'11 and 9stone i think or something. so yea he is very skinny and little to no muscle.he wants to gain muscle but finds it extremely hard. so i dont know what you would recommend for him.
i on the other hand am just over 6'3 and weight just under 14 stone. arms are 14inches ish around and i would love to increase that and get rid of the rest of my stomach, bit of a bulge and i have moobs. the bottom part of my moobs are soft but the top is firmer from the loose weights i occassionally do. i dont do any supplements etc. and my dream shape is to be broad shouldered with a thinish waist so that its in the shape of a V if you know what i mean. also a better bum. but mainly arms, shoulders and waist.
thanks in advance
codine??? do you mean creatine?? I sure hope so...lol
anyway - for your friend:
Eat 3 giant meals a day and take 2 weight gainer shakes a day. He will use Cytosport Cytogainer mixed with whole milk and fruit. Take 1 shake when waking up and 1 shake after a workout. The 3 other meals will be separated out throughout the day.
for you:
Eat 5 small meals a day and 2 whey isolate shakes (try Optimum Nutrition 100% whey isolate or NOW! 100% Whey isolate). You will take 1 shake post-workout and 1 shake pre-bedtime. The 5 small meals will be approximately 25% carbs, 15% fats, and 60% protein. Make sure to eliminate sugar and simple carbs (white bread, white rice, white flour, soda, sugar etc) and increase lean protein intake (chicken, turkey, tuna, fish, eggs, lean beef, lean lamb, etc) Lower your total portions of food that you'd normally eat. Also lastly, do not eat ANY carbohydrates (grains, beans, pasta, breads, cereal, etc) past your post-workout shake/meal.
Both of you need to be doing at least 2 hours of intense exercise 5 days a week. Preferably strength training with very few breaks in between sets.
