pffft, the only raping going on is the guys eye-raping you while you workout.

Best part of my day

what is a good additive for smoothies in the morning? i finally bought myself a blender because i'm the type of person who doesn't make enough time in the morning for breakfast. i'm gonna buy a bunch of frozen fruit and yogurt and start whipping up a smoothie every morning just so i have something in my stomach.

but i feel like that isn't enough. i feel like i should buy a supplement to put in it. i started weight training again and i'm trying to get to a lean 120. i know about the whole protein within 45 min after my workout which i'll do with regular food.

i weigh 113 now. oh and is it shorter reps, heavier weights or lighter weights and longer reps for gaining muscle mass?

thanks!

Short reps + heavy weight = Power Lifting (which I do)

Mid range of reps + mid range weight = "Traditional" weight lifting

Lots reps + light to midrange weight = Bodybuilding

Power lifting puts an emphisis on muscle strength, where as body building focuses on muscle mass and definition. If you want kick up your protein intake, I'd recommend some type of quality whey protein supplement (there are a lot to choose from) and/or amino acid.

more reps and light weights is geared toward those wanting lean bodies. so doing 3 sets of 15 bicep curls with 8lb weights sure as hell isn't going to build mass. if you kicked up the weight and shortened the reps that's more toward building bulk hence the reason you see the huge body builder guys with heavier weights and shorter reps while the 110lb women tote around 7lb weights doing a ridiculous amount of reps per set.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Well, let’s first establish that terms such as "light" and "heavy" are relative terms in weight lifting. Because of that, percentages in output (your max weight for a single rep) are usually used for each individual person. Example, a power lifter will likely push himself to 80-100% with low reps where as a bodybuilder will probably tread around 40-75% with a higher number reps. Body builders are looking definition and mass, and while one obvious benefit of body building is physical strength, it’s not the #1 priority.

Add some bananas and oat meal.You could also add 1 scoop of whey/casein protein combo to get some protein into your system in the morning. Remember your muscles grow while you are resting (sleeping/not working out), so its wise to keep your protein intake steady during the day by having 4-6 smaller meals.
If you supplement with protein, try using a protein that digest slowly in the morning/evening (casein, egg protein etc.) and a fast one after your work out (whey).

yea your a little off. Light weight and lots of reps is more of a cardio workout, not body building! Powerlifting is being able to get a heavy ass weight up once or twice...and most people don't go that way because your body type takes on a fat boy look and just generally a large frame all around. Most powerlifters have high BF % because they eat a shitload of food...their not trying too look good.

So if you're looking to put on, say, 10 pounds of lean mass, what % of 1 rep max should be your target? 80%?

pick a weight that allows u to get about 6 reps in before failure @ 3-4 sets. 10lbs of muscle will take a long time to put on though.
