i started working out everyday last monday. its my new years resolution to get some muscle on my kind of slim body. 5'8, 135 lbs. now. my short term goal is to gain at least 5 lbs. by may, and 10 lbs. by next NYE. i bought a protein powder and also supplements. the powder tastes very bad, so i hold my nose and chug it down. im sore right now all over my upper body. my legs feel quiet normal because thats all ive been working since 4 years ago, when i started running track, until now, and playing soccer.
if you want some critiques and areas to focus on pics are good. And whats your current routine? what "look" are you going for?
Supplements do not taste good, so try mixing it with other things. I got strawberry-banana "flavor" protetin. So i put about 5 strawberrys a banana and some milk in there. Makes it taste a lot better, plus you get more protein from the milk and knock out 2 servings of fruit at the same time. So just try adding some other stuff to the mix see if it helps.

I got a couple of questions, I have heard u build more muscle based off of reps than actual weight. I have also heard that having stronger inner thighs makes for better sex. Any truth behind either of these? Anyone know any way to get rid of light stretchmarks? =)
If they're light stretchmarks then going on the sunbed will get rid of them. initially after going on the sunbeds they'll go bright red and you'll shit a brick, but once the skin cools the marks fade into the skin colour. also they will heal with time if they are light, going to a silver colouring at best. you wont ever get rid of them completely unless you get surgery.
orbax and company
does marijuana use have a negative effect on muscle gain?
RE: stretch marks. They fade with time, just dont bulk up so fast 
and there are pregnancy things for chicks that have vitamin e and stuff and you can rub it on to reduce them.
about weed...only thing it kills is motivation. PLus smoking ruins your cardiovascular system and your energy and endurance are gonna get shot to hell...bulking will be an issue. and keeping lean muscle and not fat.
The only measurement of mine that actually has something worth posting is my calves.
Left calve 15"
Right calve 15"
I was born with these btw. no workout.
If I have to work them out they go fucking huge very quickly. On a hiking trip that lasted a week I came back and my calves where SWEET, easily .5 inches bigger, hard like rocks, lines in all the right places.
I weight: 69 kg
Lenght: 1.80m - 5'11"
waist 32"
R�ght Fore arms 12"
left fore 11.5
Chest ---- like a budgie
very little abs -- no stomach though.
BOth Thighs: 20.5"
Rigth Bicep 13"
Left bicep 12.5"
SHould I measure my ankles and wrists? hehe

| Originally posted by Ygrene My number one reccomendation for back is chins. I use to hate doing these but after a lot of practice it has become one of my favorite exercises. I focus 100% on keeping my shoulders back and spine arched slightly so I can get the best possible squeeze in my back. If this exercise is done properly, I don't think there is anything better for overall upper back development. My number two reccomendation for back is deadlifts. I usually do stiff-legged deads on leg day for my hamstrings so, on back day I only do partial deadlifts i.e. I don't go all the way to the floor so I don't involve my butt, hams, and lower back so much. I do these on the smith machine and put the lower locks on so it automatically stops me at about 40-45 degrees from the floor. I think this helps develop the lats all the way down and also helps overall back thickness. The other exercises I usually do are bent-over barbell rows (overhand grip), seated rows (I vary close and wide-grip), shrugs (I vary between bar and dumbell), dumbell pull-overs, and every now and then bent-over cable rows (underhand grip). But my two staples will always be chins and deads. *EDIT* - For chins I usually do 4 sets with just my bodyweight to exhaustion. Usually: 1x15-16 1x12-13 1x8-10 1x8-10 For deads: 1x225x12 1x275x10 1x325x8 1x365x6 and then sometimes I will do another 1 or 2 light sets around 8 - 10 reps |

general question for everyone...
how often do you increase weight? and how much do you usually increase by?
hehe it pretty much boils down to "when I want to" i was benching the 60s and I was like " I wanna do the 100s" and was there in 2 months. I would do a warm up set with some light weights, then do like 4 with the 60s and then a 6er of the 70s then drop and finish up with 60s. Kept doing that and going till failure on 70s. in 2 weeks was warming up with 60s and doing my set with the 70s. then I did it all over again with 80s.
I worked up to 360 on incline hammer strength once haha...i cant even get it off the bar now, and used to be able to do it 4 time @@ but i look better when I stick to lower weights...even since i tore my rotator cuff ive been a lot more careful about letting my body acclimate to the new weights.
so short answer: 1x a month, 10 lbs

Yeah, my new found focus on a proper 1 one thousand 2 one thousand negative and an explosive positive have really helped form and condition the muscles. I look around and see all these round tubby people doing weights half way down and then up and both are spastic movements. They havent changed in a year. ive been watching hehe.
Its kind of flattering because lately (and it hasnt happened in the years ive worked out until now) people actually watch me work out and tell me how awesome my form is.
I WAS benching 80s then tried controlling it all more and i had to drop 30lbs a side haha. but, looks are key for me, and I think that doing the shortened reps for heavy weights tigthen you up and make injury a high probability
