    Re: gaining muscle mass help

    At your height, weight, and age roughly you need 1750 cals for maintenance. Takes about 3500cals a week plus or minus to loose or gain one pound. Also need to take into account how hard you train. So I would start with 2250 cals a day and work up from there in increments of 250-500 a day every couple weeks until you feel you are getting enough food and not putting on too much fat.

    Other than food I would just get a good whey protein and creatine monohydrate. If you can afford it go with some casein as well for a good nighttime shake.

    Eat,Eat,train, eat, sleep....plenty of sleep. Best way to start.

    Re: gaining muscle mass help

    I typically do three lifts per muscle some days more rarely ever less... I'm going 4 to 5 times a week right now I don't devote a day to legs anymore because of my knee I just throw them in on days when i feel I can(really starting to bum me out...upper body looking good legs sad) and I throw abs in everyday to offset as well... Haven't really been doing much cardio other than swimming... U gotta do what's good for u but I'm not even sure of ur gettin a good pump just like that... That should b your goal, I like to go till muscle failure... I almost crashed my Vespa on the way home from chest and tris last week lol

    If your feeling like your gettin it than don't over do it gotta do what's good for you I'm going back to the basics and really concentrating on form more than heavy weights and such

    this is good to see.. none are you are pushing AS.. it is so true ...at your age taking AS would be a big mistake .. right now you are at the age where the body is producing plenty of test...take any more and i would do more damage than good, and probably cause you to be low for life

    eat work out and enjoy being 18!


    we are all jealous!
