Bad side effects from Pre-Workout

I'm thinking about buying a mass gainer to just add to my diet and drink around 10 everyday to add more carbs. Do you think this is a good idea?

Are you just really stubborn and headstrong, or slightly slow? You asked the same question last week and we answered your question. Unless you are already eating 5 meals a day, and simply cannot get any more solid food into your body, you don't need a mass gainer.

You cannot bulk up if you're not eating properly in the first place. You're throwing your money away.

Do you ever take advice given? You ask, people put time and effort in responding and you just ignore it every time.

Maybe you want a quick fix, of which there are plenty available but it's temporary gains. Water retention is not what you want, you want lean muscle. Put in the hard work and listen to the advice in this thread. If not, don't ask again and be skinny all your life...

Lean. We say lean, not skinny. Although because of all the training I do I am lean as opposed to skinny, but at 178 and only 58kgs at competition is a bit awkward. However, the upside is that at 42, people think I'm in my twenties.

Holy moly. You are lean. BF of what? 5%? I am 181 and weigh 72kgs. My perfect weight (race weight) is around 66kgs. Getting my weight down is so difficult. I have to sacrifice performance big time, or watch the scale move very slowly downwards (200 to 300 grams a week if I am lucky).

About that. I'm normally around the 62 mark, lower than that is after big training blocks. Fortunately I have the thing that makes the most difference in cycling. Good genes, so even after no training for months like after injury, I sort of max out at 64 or 65kgs. If I run rather than ride, any little bit of fat just melts away

Go away with your good fat melting genes. :D

I just look at a treadmill and I get hungry. Try doing all three sports, and all you will be doing is eating. Weird thing though, is that I cannot eat at all during long training rides (3 hours plus). It's like I am forcing myself. Afterwards is a different issue though.

58kgs :o

I'm 176 and weigh 82kgs. Given I'm not "lean".
 
Why do people want to bulk up anyway? You are adding fat, which you then have you loose again.

Just add muscle slowly with minimal fat gain.

Lol, sorry... I just forget dudes.. or maybe too lazy to to go to the last pages :crylaugh:

Anyways, thanks for this advice. I went to the Chrome supplement shop in Dainfern and the dude who works thier said a Mass gainer would help. so getting a second opinion from you guys helped.

Also, never mind.

So is it possible to gain muscle from being skinny?

I am 67kg and my height is 175.

How the eff do these guys that weigh 58kg and are 180.

I have been speaking to this dude and he said that cardio also helps a lot in becoming lean.

Its a fine balance between packing on muscle whilst keeping fat levels down.

Progressive overload is key, are you lifting heavier weights over time?
Eat more protein per meal.

You don't gain muscle by eating...

You gain muscle by working the muscle and giving it the fuel it needs to grow. So for that you need to eat and eat a lot while working the muscles at the same time.

Well when I started on 1 September, I was weak and I could not even lift 10s properly.

I am now dumbbell pressing 14Kgs for this week and next week before I level up again.

So I am going heavier. When will I see changes in my body?
