must be good, shows that there's good buildup there

Well if he's your friend, why not ask to start working out with him? You'll need a spotter at the gym anyway, better it's someone you already know

i just don't understand how my friend is the same height and weight as me, and all he does is lift weights and his biceps are pretty broad, looks like a mound without flexing. he says he also drinks this stuff when he works out http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/crea.html

Is mound a good thing or bad thing?

Creatine is great, I take that. Seems to help with recovery between workout sessions.

alright, gonna save up some money. the only fitness place near me is 240 dollars a year. i'd rather pay for the full year instead monthly.

If I can make a suggestion, pay for a month or two and start now

A lot of people buy yearly gym memerships and then quit after a month. Prove to yourself that you're committed by going for a couple of months first.

also, i don't know if i have time to join a gym, i go to school 7 - 2:30, and then work 5 - 8, then homework.

Most starter lifting routines will take less than an hour a session. When I was doing starter strength each one was only 40 minutes from memory.

You either have to find the time, or find a new goal

i like lifting and stuff more than i do walking. my leg muscle game is good because school gym and marching band.

also boltster, weren't you that guy who did all the lifting and stuff? can you give me some things to do with 10 lb dumbbells?

Yep and yep

Step 1. Put the dumbbells down and join a gym
Step 2. Pick between Stronglifts 5x5 or Starter Strength and start
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Gains

In all seriousness though, you won't be able to do much with those dumbbells. Gaining muscle mass is all about diet and progressively increasing what you lift. The programs I mentioned have a good progression.

I joined this server a while ago and Silleb was having an absolute aneurysm over people driving outside of the lines on the roads. He was literally spying people to make sure they were driving 'correctly'. I saw multiple people get banned as a result lol

Hi Boltster!

hey bud!

if i really want something, i don't quit.

So what are your first steps then? What are you doing towards achieving your goal?

You're in a pretty good position to be absolutely jacked by the time you're 20 with a bit of effort.

Watching calories is a myth. Fact is, not all calories are the same. Cut the fat to the minimum for a proper diet.

Hardly.

If he's trying to gain muscle/mass, cutting the fat to a minimum is the wrong philosophy. Most people bulking go for a 50/30/20 split of carbs, fat and protein.

I target 3500 calories daily, meaning I have a goal of 375g carbs, 100g of fat and 151g of protein. With this (and my workout routine), I can put on rougly half kg of mass a week.

TDEE is 2,299

i've used myfitnesspal and this other one called fooducate, they're very useful to me.

Yep so aim for 2800. If you have trouble with eating that much, try to slowly increase it up to 2800. Liquid meals also help a lot.

Go here and calculate your TDEE

Once you've got that number, add 500 to it - this is your caloric intake goal. Then, download the MyFitnessPal app. It's the best calorie tracking app I've come across.

In terms of a starting routine, I recommend a full body workout done 3 times a week. Look into Starter Strength or Strong Lifts.
