    Muscle soreness - good or bad?

    no, soreness is not necessarily a reliable indicator of a growth-inducing workout - but if you do something like a 20 rep squat and are NOT sore after it then you were half-assing it. soreness is also dependent on things like workout volume, work capacity and recovery rates - you might find you...

    is my diet good?

    I honestly don't see the need for all those eggs if you are not training. Raw eggs are a liquid meal taken between solid food meals as a weight gain aid. They're meant to be part of a diet that includes solid proteins. Liquid meals (even high fat ones) do not satiate you hence your hunger. In...

    My diet, no more gains

    hardly eating like crazy. that's a fairly low calorie diet for someone wanting to gain - hence why you're stuck at 170. you are 170lbs so if you want to grow and are not growing you should be trying to get in at least 350g protein a day. are you doing this? you say '1 meat' - how much meat is...

    Gain Muscle FAST: Here's how I do it

    insulin and growth hormone are antagonists. generally, when one is high, the other is low. whey and amino acids are insulinogenic themselves, there is no REQUIREMENT to add a buttload of sugar to a post workout shake. if you're trying to grow it's a good idea but if you're fatter than you'd...

    is my diet good?

    if you're hungry and your energy levels are low, eat more food. simple as that. get some meat and vegetables! sugar cravings come as a result of too few calories in the diet or not enough fat (if you're on a low carb diet). why are you taking in so many raw eggs if you're not training?

    Arms Size vs Stats

    10g BCAA and 5g glutamine are just unnecessary in a shake that already includes protein and carbs. slickaz if you want to lose bodyfat but put on muscle then you must eat protein and fat most of the time and carbs around the workout and on your carb days as YOUR individual metabolism requires...

    sunflower seeds

    If money is an issue then eggs (always whole), tuna, peanut butter, apples and frozen vegetables are cheap but still nutritious food choices. Not optimal but they get the job done. Buy meat or chicken when it's on sale and fill up your freezer. If you use protein powder, buy in bulk online...

    sunflower seeds

    why, are you proposing to eat a lb of them a day? they're perfectly fine to add in your diet but not at that quantity and at the expense of other foods. the protein in them is incomplete and the fats mostly unsaturated - you need complete proteins and a balance of fats (INCLUDING those...
