I've been eating Herbalife products for years so the Herbalife protien shake was the natural choice but I did compare it to others before using it. The info I got at the time from the personal trainer at VA was took look for how much protein there is per serving. There is an actual formula / scale for it but I can't remember what it is called. Herbalife was the highest I found at the time. I think it is a 5 out of 6. It tastes pretty vile if you don't mix it with something but I used to just gulp it down and ignore the taste.

you are what you eat, and if you don't go gyming how are you suppose to keep the form ?
-i would suggest to look the part and have some actual strenght as well, there are a few who just look strong but can't for example do a proper pullup or any related dead weight excercises....
...one arm handstand pups comes to mind with a weight in one hand.

So I want some muscles. Have been going to the gym for around a year and a half and can lift much heavier circuit weights but my muscles aren't much bigger.
I know some of you guys do bodybuilding and stuff and would know about this stuff that's why I ask here. (Please if you have nothing constructive to add, don't post)
So can you help me with what I should do to get nice musckles.
I used to be a body builder and was really good at it,Alli can tell you is this.....its no easy task and it takes years to accomplish what you really want.So if you started at 12 years old roughly around 25 you will hit your peak.Anyways this is just me
What i can advise you is train hard and leave the circuit stuff to the ladies.What you need is free weights.And those innovative computerized stuff in the gym,stay away from it.
Just make sure that you do at least 45 mins aerobics every week.This will lean you out.
Eat eggs and lots of them,separate the yolk and scramble the albumen.
There is so much advice i can give you and training but email me your weight and body structure

Ditto on most of that. If you are looking at brands Pooky, then from a personal prospective rather stay away from USN products. You can look at EVOX, Muscle science and other international brands but they are even more pricey than the normal local brands.
YES ! USN is shyte, but Muscle Science and Evox are also local. I suggest Muscle Tech and EAS, but there are other international supplements available which should be just as good.
lol, they are the ones that will help you.
Its all in the cardio man, do at least 30min cardio a day, you will see your muscles build and shape.

there is no need for chemicals,Get a nutritionist,go online and search for one or post on a forum where they are.
Tell them you need to gain weight and muscle.Also tell them your body type,my one in endomorphic.
You also need to lay of the fat and keep it 20g a day..this is very difficult.
Morning potatoes boiled in water.afternoon banana,Dont forget to get that 6-24 eggs white in the morning..Just kidding but eat at least 4 as you not a professional.
Keep your head up and train hard for 3 days a week.let your muscles rest and cells grow on the off days.
Do barbell curls and benchpresses all the time,forget about the legs for now..lol
TRy to use a tricep bar on wednesday.Remember to look good youe chest needs build and your arms will look bigger with work on the triceps.
Agg i want to cry now as i miss those days,and due to my shoulder i dont think i will ever be able to go back and do what i want to..mmmm

Thanks ill try that, just keep my strength see what happens.
Fastings not about the poor.... thats what they tell us as kids, ooooh the poor dont have food we shouldnt, fact is that we have ALOT to eat at sundown, they still dont!!
Its about abstaining and will power, thats the true test.
Besides I want to fast but I also dont want to lose all the weight I put on in the past 8 months year after year. Theres nothing wrong with keeping fit, looking good and still fasting.

Try the Dynamic Muscle Fuel, I know everyone is anti USN but it does work. Personally vouch for it.
Stay away form EAS stuff. Spoke to a couple of people who actually rep for the them and they said the quality since it's now made in SA is not up to par. Plus they are going under, they are actually being liquidated here in sunny SA. Their stuff is also often expired so be careful.
Phedra is also great, but be careful if you have heart problems.
Free weights are ideal... Dont be scared of the muscle-bound-freaks they were the same as you at one stage.
Good Luck and don't quit

Well i will have something to say on this. I will still rather use expired EAS products mixed with sand before i touch USN stuff ever again. EAS stuff is mixed here in SA but the bulk product is shipped here and not manufactured here.
EAS new range is also guaranteed to be free of any residues of anabolic(read steroid) elements. I personally know of guys that have tested positive while only on USN. No offence Losticus but i despise them with every fibre of my being. Any bodybuilder or athlete that has been training for a long time will tell you to not use USN.
Eg. their creatine is imported from China(for R34 per KG..yes read that again)
and they sell it at that exorbitant price. It is full of toxins which are in some cases a 1000% above the recommended allowance for some of them. That why i will only use products with the CreaPure variety of creatine in them.
Switch brands, try something new...you may just be very surprised at the result
