  1. quick question about ground beef

    I had ground turkey sometimes if I really needed something different. I gained pretty decent. I would get hamburger helper, cheeseburger flavor, and use whole grain pasta and ground turkey instead of the white pasta and ground beef. It tasted fantastic and wasn't that awful of a cheat meal.
  2. too poor to eat enough, any suggestions?

    I think it was the guy from Supersize Me, but either way someone tested a home made burger, home made fries, versus some decent restaurant chains burgers and fries, and then mcdonalds. Also they had the fish sandwiches. Everything spoiled in a few days aside from mcdonalds. They basically...
  3. confused on lifting belts

    I only put one on for my heaviest lifts that I am unsure of, then when I get comfortable with the weight to concentrate on form I don't use it anymore. Like a lot of people, for me it's more of the feeling of the belt. I can feel the belt on my back and know I have good posture for the lift...
  4. why am i not gaining weight?

    Add more carbs to your diet. I had good results using a whey shake after my workout (2 scoops at 48grams of protein, who cares if you don't absorb it all, at least there is no chance of missing) and then I took syntha 6 throughout the day once or twice in between meals if I knew I couldn't eat...
  5. Bench/Squat Gain after Cycle

    I forget what my friend was taking at the time, but his bench went from barely 300 to 365 back in summer. After PCT he was getting maybe 320, but now he's back up to 340 and keeping it steady. I wouldn't say it is too much out of your league. FWIW I went from doing 185 max in summer to doing...
  6. too poor to eat enough, any suggestions?

    I'm a sophomore in college and feel you in the struggle. I dropped down to a 3 or 4 day workout week to save money on whey and workout supplements. Write down what you spend money on though, every single penny. You will see that you spend a dollar here, or 5 bucks there that you could have...
  7. Help getting out of the hole! :(

    I have the same exact problem. Stretching is the key and foot placement. I can't squat like most people yet, I have to do a much wider stance or do smith box squats. Also, some positions outside of my flexibility range are dangerous because my knees want to pull inward and that's not good with...
  8. prepaid credit cards

    I've heard of them for people with really bad credit or no credit history. It's basically a debit card but counts towards your credit report I think. Most have some guarentee like "Load card with at least $30 a month for 3 months and be granted a credit card with a $500 limit". I'd assume you...
  9. 4 weeks cutting progress

    Nice work! I hope I look anywhere near that shredded after my cutting session. I am not happy with my size so I will be carb cycling. I am also taking something to control my insulin and absorption which should help. It will also throw me into ketosis much faster.
  10. Ectomorph transformation in progress...

    Looking good man, I see so many kids who were your size getting nowhere because of going about it wrong. Definitely progress to be proud of, especially with your body type.
  11. Building my own home gym

    I need to take some pictures of my friend's home gym (that he NEVER uses) and the significant other's home gym. The SO's gym is her brother's play pen from back in high school football. Both people have everything and it's so nice. Smith racks, benches, arm sections, dumbell racks, cable...
  12. how to spot a rich man

    nomarriage.com, but aside from that you don't even have to be loaded. I see ugly/obese dudes with smoking hot wives just because they are "secure". Decent job, enough money in the bank, decent suburban home yadda yadda. Chicks will do a lot for security, and security doesn't mean over...
  13. Easy way to add complex carbs to your diet

    It's those in between meals that I hate, mostly the rice ones. Just shoving rice and chicken in my mouth gets boring and I don't want to do it, but I push through. It's not so much the seasoning or taste I mind, but the dryness of baked chicken. Any suggestions for making it more of a moist...
  14. Easy way to add complex carbs to your diet

    For my little bit of morning carbs I get, I'll probably just mix them in water though, and have it with my egg whites to avoid any other calories. Maybe a little splenda to flavor it up (gym nutritionist said that's ok), but for bulking it's decent in the shake aside from feeling like you are...
  15. No balance when squatting, any advice?

    Thanks, this helps a lot. I really need to get someone who knows what they are doing and can teach to show me. My one main workout friend knows pretty much everything, but can't teach for crap. Every time I feel like I am doing a perfect squat within my abilities he says I am leaning to much...
  16. Easy way to add complex carbs to your diet

    I lost all hope for taste and enjoyment with food a long time ago. Chicken and rice and eggs taste like cardboard at this point, and oats are just another 10-15 second discomfort while I slam down the shake. I HATE the texture, and most shakes taste terrible, but it's over in a couple seconds...
  17. Easy way to add complex carbs to your diet

    Yeah the first time I did it I tried it without grinding the oats haha, my throat did not like it. Then I used a really old blender and it did the trick. Grind the oats first though, not with the drink.
  18. trying to bulk with bodyweight??

    I did no research so it could be fake and he could be juiced and have a home gym, but youtube "hannibal for king", it's some guy working out on a playground with only his body weight and he is built.
  19. Easy way to add complex carbs to your diet

    This worked really well for me. The texture in my shakes is kind of awful though, but better than eating a whole bowl of plain oats.
  20. Trying to bulk but can't seem to get anywhere.

    Eat, eat, eat, and eat some more. I am no expert in bodybuilding, and I am still new to it, but when I decided to get serious I got my diet in check. I was about 145 last july maybe 150 with an awful diet and no exercise. I started eating right and got in the gym and I am now 190ish (I am...
