SRV Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I just bought a jar of whey protein.......and it saids to mix in one scoop for 25 grams....Problem is I was expecting it to come with a little measuring spoon, but it doesn't. So my question is, WTF is a scoop? It saids 37 grams, but how the hell do I measure that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I mean it might have, but I am not going to dig through 2 pounds of powder to find it....I would assume it would be on top of the powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was slightly buried but there was still part of it sticking out so that I could just grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put your hand in there and see if you feel a spoon cuz sometimes they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 So the fish oil pills have been decent so far. No drastic improvements but overall I do feel a bit better. When working out I noticed that all of my joints feel smoother. It sounds weird but my knees no longer 'crack' when squatting. No real sign of it effecting weight loss though. So far my review would have to be it is good for you and helps you feel a lot better in general but you can easily go without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This bulking is really random for me 2 weeks ago I weighed myself on Friday morning and I had gone from 155 to 160 in about 3 weeks.Then the Friday that just passed I weighed 159.7, and I had been eating probably more protein daily and I increased the weight on a lot of exercises. Then there are days where I can see my abs a bit and my biceps look good for my standards, and then the next day I am back to looking like I did when I started. Overall I am gaining weight and I feel better, but the appearance of looking "bigger" comes and goes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 are you weighing yourself at the same time?Yup, in the morning when I get out of bed....I actually meant I do it Saturdays because I work out on Friday and it would be dumb to weight myself before I work out.

kingfish Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ive been doing ab workouts like a beast these last two days. Is it better to let my abdominals rest or keep pushing them? How often should I do them if I want them to be nice and strong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well I used to do abs every other day....I would just breeze through 70 sit ups before I got tired. I then learned that crunches was the way to go, and I was only able to do like 12 before my abs would kill me. Right now I do abs on Monday and Thursday..I do 3 sets of crunches. I go up, then to the right, then to the left...and I do that 8 times each followed by a crunch but I just try to hold it in position for as long as I can...hurts like hell. My abs are getting stronger, but problem is, you can have the nicest abs in the world, but they won't show unless you have 10% body fat or below. For now I am just working them out and then later on when I burn fat, I hope they will look nice. I have a problem with bulking though. I have been stuck on 160 pounds for like 3 weeks now. I have been downing like 2 scoops of whey protein, chicken, meat, burgers....all that stuff. My muscles are getting bigger, especially my legs, but I kind of feel like I am stuck on 160.

If I'm doing body weight exercises I work them everyday. Usually I do weights while bulking and body weight while cutting. I'm cutting right now so I work them everyday.

SRV Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Heres a question. I have been "bulking" since Feb 1st...I have had enough of it. I gained like 12 pounds and probably kept the same amount of body fat. I am feeling my abs now and I want them to show. I still want to put on muscle so I just want to know some high protein, low fat foods so I can start eating right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to put on muscle so I just want to know some high protein, low fat foods so I can start eating right. Why do you want low fat foods? You don't want that. If you're still trying to bulk, you should be getting 1-1.5g/lbm of protein, and about .7g/lb of fats. After you meet those, you can fill the rest in with whatever you want. You should be eating a lot of skinless, boneless chicken, tuna, steaks, and other high protein foods. For fats, many people like peanut butter, and it's a good fat as well. Here's a good workout plan that I have started. You can also visit bodybuilding.com, but make sure you read a lot of the stickies because there's a lot of clueless people there as well, but there are also a lot of very smart people. http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I was thinking something like this Breakfast - Eggs, Oatmeal or some other kind of fat food which I can burn throughout the day Pre-Workout - Protein Bar Workout from like 2-4 on average Lunch - Pasta with chicken or brown rice with chicken along with a protein bar later and whey protein shake after my workout Dinner - Brown rice with chicken or just chicken with something else Before I sleep I take a protein shake Don't know if that works. I still want to get 150-170 grams of protein per day, but not as much fat and calories. I pretty much just want to get my abs showing, so basically lose like 3-5% body fat and I am sure with all the weights and protein I will continue to get bigger. My main problem is breakfast. I am not sure what I can eat there. I don't want to eat eggs all the time because my cholesterol already sucks as it is.
