I've heard this from co-workers at the warehouse no suprise
Been doing this for a month now. I've been learning to control eating healthy vs. eating burgers

 

So far i only average out to gained 4lbs so far. Now since i've stopped throwing boxes everyday at work.

 

It's going to take longer than a month. I'm trying to lose 8 pounds.

 

its capn biceps chiming in. jk you weigh like 130 lbs...lol. i would do what worked for me and back when i could workout and was actually in good shape i did it without taking any of that crap and got many compliments on doing it without supplements. going from 170lbs to 205 lbs and cut like a **** in just a few months proved to me i dont need any of that. this being mostly upper body too. i wouldnt do leg workouts cuz i have a bad back which i had to use a brace for while working out. its my view on things im not trying to convert anyone to stop taking any supplements or prevent them from taking any because i honestly dont care what people take. im just voicing out my opinioin.

 

Wow 205.

 

yep 205. coming from 170 to 205 in about 2-3 months without taking any supplements is a pretty good deal for some people.

 

I see supplements as an energy booster. It helps you work out longer and give you energy. Steroids is just plain dumb. Makes you blow up like a balloon and some people break out and their veins pop out. And their pee pee gets smaller and your nipples start lactating. And if you take them for a very long period of time you don't live as long.

 

I didnt want to go any bigger because I had to start wearing large size shirts and i didnt like that ****. i dropped down a bit after that because i like medium shirts

 

I think 205 is too much.

 

I wore a size 00 in pants in 9th grade and weighed 90 pounds. Then last December I was in a size 7 pants at 129 pounds and now I'm in a size 5 pants and weigh 114.

 

it is when its mostly upper body. like i said i didnt do legs cuz of my bad back and i pretty much just hated it. got to the point where it was starting to make my legs look too small which is another reason why i decided to drop weight

 

You must have been at it for days at a time. **** makes me wish i was back at the weight room during practice. I think I gained almost as much with the same time frame.

 

haha funny. i'm up to 140 now. i don't even weight train yet.
i started at 120. considering i have a personal trainer and a nutritionist i think i'd know how to eat and work out properly. i have a bad back as well. doesn't stop me. you can voice your opinion thats fine. i'm just saying supplements are nothing like steroids. steroids require no work to bulk up. supplements are just that...a supplement.

Something that completes or enhances something else when added to it.

that doesn't mean that it does it all for you.


you can help "supplement" workouts by eating properly, which i doubt the majority of you all do. you want to gain weight? eat protein, eat lean fats, increase the amount of fruits and vegetable intake and the amounts of times you eat. that will raise your metabolism. you have to eat more to gain weight, however if you do nothing but eat **** food you'll gain it in all the wrong places.

 

Depends on how tall ppl are too. 205 is way to big for a person like under 5'10

 

Haha that's my problem. I eat **** food and it goes to my thighs and ass. I hate it. I want to lose like 5 pounds in my legs and ill be set. My stomach doesn't gain fat. I have a 28inch waste. My thighs are 21 inches. And my biceps are 11 1/2 lol. I measure everything today. And it said my body fat is 17-24%

 

Who said I did ?

 

Oh just figured you did because you have one.

 

agreed. i'm 5" 7 close to 5"8. i've been skinny my whole life. nothing i can do about that. runs in my genes. so i gotta do what i can to gain weight and muscle mass....especially being a vegetarian.
i'm pretty happy with my "biceps" though and like i said I don't weight train yet. another 2 maybe 3 months and ill start that. this was taken today by my trainer.

 

My little brother in my fraternity is a personal trainer and I have a friend that I talked to alot when I was working out that is a nutritionist. They both told me that I dont need any of that **** to get bigger. I know exactly what to eat which is why I personally have never taken supplements.

Like i said I do have a bad back but the reason I never really did legs is because I hated it. I was satisfied with my legs at the time and didn't need them any bigger.

 

Bought things from a partout.

 

Very cute chick lol

 

Ya 5 years ago when I met my boyfriend he weighed 115 pounds at 5'8 and he was 17. And now he's 23 and weighed 175. Just buy taking protein and vitamins. And I think he takes something else. He lost like 20 pounds this month and is at 155 because his shoulder. He can't work out much. Only surgery can fix it.

 

LOL.
i never said you had to take supplements to get bigger. i said it wasn't like steroids.
as for you quoting me and highlighting the most important part....either you're talking out of your ass for ***** and giggles or you're just really ignorant but thats how you become healthy. i'm talking about the part you bolded.

 

5 days a week after my classes which got out like at 9pm. 3-4 hour workouts.

im 5'9 - 5'10. more like 5'10 i guess but yeah 205 was too much for me. I felt like huge compared to my friends.

biceps when i started at 170 were 13 inches. around when i was at 205 i had them at 19 inches.

 

Like I said. Not everyone can gain weight on their own.
