    Everyone. But it certainly sounds accurate in his case. Not that I know much about his situation personally of course, but that's the impression I get.

    100% effort IMO

    If you're not getting results 9/10 times you're simply not trying hard enough. Educate yourself on proper nutrition and workout regimes, man up and get to the gym.

    Uchess even gets to have sweaty big men all around him, i can't imagine how motivation would be a problem.

    That sounds like a dangerously anemic weight.

    25 yrs old, 5'5" 110lbs? Better pack heat or a blade. J/K.

    Definitely your diet will be the biggest thing to slow down that metabolism, give your body something to work with, and allow you to gain mass.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I'm trying to lose as much fat as possible before starting weight training, since I'll have to eat more than my daily requirement then, and gaining some fat along with muscle is inevitable.

    I do agree with you though. I don't consider my build ideal.

    I'm 5'7.5" and 165lbs/75kg. I'd like to be about 170-175lbs, to achieve my ideal "light tank/baby gorilla" physique.

    Buff: I don't know if you want to get really lean before trying to put on mass, because then you'll have to eat more to gain mass, instead of just letting your fat reserves fuel you. I'm not sure how that works exactly though.

    I was under the impression that muscle growth only happened when you're in a anabolic state, while fat loss only really worked when you're in an catabolic state. I don't know too much about it neither, and this is mostly from internet sources rather than textbooks.

    PS: if something says "3 Sets Of 15, 12, Then 8 Reps", that means I do 15, then 12, then 8 right?

    Not 15x3, 12x3, 8x3..

    I think you gain muscle from working out period (lifting weights is basically tearing muscle and then letting it repair itself). You will just have muscle under fat if you aren't a lean person. I guess if you're already lean, then you won't need to work on cardio as much. As far as gaining fat as well as muscle from increased food intake, that won't happen if you eat the right foods.

    I can say from experience that it isn't.

    I had fat to burn that I could have burnt off with pure cardio, but I lifted weights and avoided cardio altogether. BF% went down, and lean mass (muscle) went up.

    Protein gives you more muscle mass, excercise defines said muscle.

    I think you need to read up a lot more before starting your workout routine if that's how you think it works. You can eat all the protein you want, your body won't do anything with it unless you give it something to do with it, like creating muscle tissue that is damaged by working out.
