[b]harloe. currently, i am 1.75m, 51kg and 18yrs of age.
my diet is the normal 3 meals a day. i always make sure there's meat and vege. i rarely skip meals. fruits are included too.
my exercise regime is just 45km of cycling twice a week. jogging 3km around my neighbourhood at night abt once a week.
now, i am just waiting for NS. i don't know what i want. fitness or body sculpturing. if fitness, i am "almost there" already. but my leanness affects me sometimes.
how to gain weight/maintain fitness?
thanks in advance.
45km of cycling,oh my god! That is excessive cardio! Dump the cycling man!
You ever compare the physique of a short distance sprinter and a marathoner before? What's the difference? The sprinter looks muscular with mass while the marathoner looks anoxeric. Why? Too much cardio! 3 times of cardio for 30 mins is enough for 1 week.[/b] -
plug in cardio AFTER u got the mass (muscles, not fats)...then the cutting will be nice....but it all boils down to u lah...u want to continue chionging cardio we oso LL mah...u want to be cloaked with a layer of fat but look big sized we oso LL mah...to each his own.

most gainers but u do need carbs after workout so its really ok u know ? and u 1/2 the dosage...i oso add some glucolin to my whey protein for post workout so got some carbs too. but if ur workout is those easy easy one then 4get it lor...haha. most important factor in a gainer is amt of protein and roughly how much carbs....too much carbs oso no good.Originally posted by Simon Dean:you say gain weight but fat can be weight, muscle can also be weight.Which one?Btw SOME mss-gainers have fukin a lot of sugar -

btw chunyong, i tod protein shld be taken as post-workout, whereas the weight gainer taken b/w meals, twice a day... y u suggest the other way rd? -
the answer i told u in the post...but i wil lsay againOriginally posted by pete_parker:i jus tried e weight gainer today... half the recommended serving ( 3 scoops instead of 5 )... yuck taste like sweet chalk powder

after a workout u need carb and of cos protein. a typical whey protein have negligible carbs...so u take massgainers after workout since it have quite alot of carbs and protein, the protein in massgainers are whey oso so its fast absorbing too.
through out the day u are better of taking whey and eating more.
if u can't mix it, its a bad gainer...not as if i haven't take such gainers b4....cheap gainers are everywhere...but whether u end up drinking or eating/chewing the massgainer is another thing altogether.
ultimately, u need to put in effort in the gym else u will gain weight nevertheless but fats. if u just wanna look big and rounded by all means....to each his own, i cannot force upon u what i think is nice. -

You would'nt go wrong with the following program.Short and sweet yet effective.
Workout A(quads,chest,shoulders)

legs forward Smith Machine squats-2x12
incline presses-8,6,6,8

stiff-legged deadlifts-10,8,6,12
bent over rows-8,6,6,8
chins-3x8
