How to bulk up?

blueinsa said:
I'm on a strict calorie controlled diet replacing 2 meals a day with slim fast which I've used before and know works for me and then a meal at night, meat and 2 veg. Snacks during the day consist of fruit and zero fat yoghurt. I drink at most 2-3 cups of coffee a day and im drinking plenty of water. I train Taekwondo 4 nights a week for 1 hour and im doing 30 min Taebo sessions at home on off days. Hard work and discipline will do it for me. Just dont fancy the ECA stack after reading up on it but thanks for the advice scottyboi.

Sounds like you're already on the right track then, good stuff. Best of luck!

Thanks for taking the time to explain all that Adrian. I'm going to put all that into practice, going to the gym has never been an issue for me, I've always enjoyed it. I think I may get a personal trainer to take me through a programme of free weights , and maybe a nutritionist to work out my diet. Many thanks once again for all your info

Pleasure :) Both great ideas. Most people will avoid them because they're not cheap, but a good personal trainer to run you through good form whilst you're starting out can really set you up for the long run.
 
Maybe a ridiculous question but is too much exercise an issue? I'm not running marathons every day, just want 30 mins of cardio/fat burn on my off days when im not training or should I stick a rest day in?

Cheers.

That's fine mate. Id have a rest day for sanity if nothing else, but 30 minutes extra cardio is a long way off overtraining.

I bulk up with pies and beer.
Which probably isn't what this thread is about.

No,its not,and that 'joke' has been done to death.

Have you any worthwhile contribution?

Contribution as in what?
Have we got a protein clique on the go?
I have heard steroids make you aggressive is this true?
