good thread metro i was thinkin about startin one of these...i see alotta other forums with them
lmao @ snackin on nuts all day
maybe you can post some exercises to help kologero reduce his man boobs :lol:
Im 5'11 156pds....when i graduated high school i was only 132
I weigh more now but i still got really skinny arms...im tryin to build up my biceps. I workout everyday..i do 50-60 push ups, im doin chin ups now, liftin weights, and taking creatine. What excersises can I do to get bigger biceps?
I'm kinda having a problem. I'm 6'1 and a 1/2" and I'm usually around 205-210 lbs. I mean, I am not ridiculously big, you can see my abs, there is a lot of definition in my arms and legs, but why am I so heavy? I'm not a body builder. I diet, I cut out all meat 6 months ago and I've become so thin that sometimes my ribs stick out to the point that I look a little anorexic. But I'm still 210. WTF? For real.
50-60 push ups is pretty good, I could max out around 70-80, but I normally do 50-60 push ups in about 10 sets, so thats 500-600 push ups a day to keep my chest, back, and whole upper body strong.
Chin ups are awesome.
Weights are beneficial.
Creatine isn't that needed.
For biceps, you could do curls to increase the muscle size and strength
yea the creatine really hasnt done anything to help me :td:
im new to doin pushups and chin ups on the regular...it was tough as fukk at first but its gettin easier. I think im havin problems with my biceps because my arms are so long...tayshaun prince like. But im gonna keep workin at it...how often should i lift?
I got long arms too for a 5"10 guy, which makes it harder to get the full range of motion on my work out.
Do it 3-5 times a week if you want to see max results, but just for a busy person, 3 times a week is good.
Good ol' diamond push ups
30 diamond push ups
do 4 sets.
All your chest exercises
http://exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ChestWt.html#anchor165455
Us Dominicans don't have that chest build...its genetics. LOL, but don't worry mayne, we gotta other things to replace that. Just work every muscle, there may be muscles you're superior at compared to muscles, do everything for optimal results!
For gaining, it takes a lot of discipline and dedication to your diet.
Just keep increasing your calorie intake, basically just meaning to eat BIGGER than what you ate yesterday.
To help boost calories make a high calorie smoothie with NESTLÉ CARNATION Instant Nonfat Dry Milk , bananas, orange juice, ice cream and some water .
It also help adding cheese to more foods and other "extras". like sour cream on baked potatoes, gravy on meats, butter on vegetables, mayonnaise on sandwiches, cream cheese on fruits.
All nuts are usually very high in calorie, and healthy.
snack on nuts alot. (no homo)
You should be eating at least 6 times a day with meals 3 hours apart from each other. Lets say
1. 7:00am
2. 10:00am
3. 1pm
4. 4pm
5. 7pm
6. 10pm.
Your total caloric intake should consist of
Protein – around 25% of total caloric intake. This include eggs, milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken, lean red meat, fish and turkey.
Carbohydrates – around 50% of your caloric intake. Good choices include brown rice, potatoes, beans, whole grain breads and cereals and pastas, oats, fruits and vegetables.
Fats – 25% of your caloric intake that include olive oil, fish oil, nuts and natural peanut or almond butter.
Breakfast: oats, eggs, fruits, cottage cheese, yogurt, high protein cereal, high protein pancakes, etc
Mid morning and mid afternoon snacks: cottage cheese, yogurt, pop top cans of tuna, chicken or salmon, sandwiches, homemade protein shakes or bars, fruit, nuts, etc
Lunch and Dinner: chicken or lean red meat or fish or turkey with potatoes or brown rice or vegetables or beans, etc
Before bedtime: cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, peanut or almond butter, eggs, nuts, etc

That is what I didn't want to hear, I don't like diamonds lol. I do them though, I had people telling me to do diamonds. Do you know anything else I could do? I have dumbbells 20lbs and 25pounders.
Bagel with peanut butter, also I do snack on sum nuts, not that I like 'em but yea they have that extra calorie I need. Bananas all day, you know! platano frito, mangu con webo Lol!
I know friends that took creatine, I don't take that shyt, I'm all natural screw that garbage. I think lifting every other day is pretty good, to give your body a rest and so that your cells can regenerate properly.
