For the calf raises, you can stand your toes on a plank so that your heels have some space to drop. I would however only do this after squats, which should be your #1 leg exercise. Also, practice practice and you will learn to stabilize with the calf raises. I still have to re-learn it every time I go heavier on barbell calf raises.
Heh, I am in the opposite side. Whilst gaining weight, its the space around my legs that are becoming the problem, my belt however is still at the smalles position after losing fat around the waist, which means at least I am gaining good weight.
Back to the quote. If you keep going with the squats, you probably won't lose much size on the legs, just more around the waist. Legs are the first place you lose fat in my experience, waist last, so you must already have lost all the fat on your legs a long time ago
Yeh, I realize some is fat, but I think more is water retention. I started a cycle of creatine, which would mean around 4-5kg gain in water if my previous experiences are anything to go by.
But...I can feel strength coming back fast... I was struggling my ass off with squats... And immediately shot straight through my previous barriers with higher calorie intake.

Haven't lost any size on legs, gained about 5cm.... Leg pipes look like ski pants, while waist is still loose.
I always gain weight on m legs, then my tummy. So buying jeans or longs is always a problem, the waists always has to be a size or two bigger to accommodate my legs.

So... my weight thus far:
67kg on friday 02-11
69,7kg on thursday 08-11.
Is this healthy?
I can't see where all the mass went, my body still looks the same.I mean we're talking about a whole 2.7 kgs in a week. Surely I must notice something. I've been literally forcing stuff down my throat. Where to from here?

If you're not taking photos while you're bulking/lifting regularly you're not going to notice anything.
I was looking at myself in the mirror over a period of 10 weeks and going. Wtf, I'm not getting anywhere. Then I looked at the first photo I took and the last photo I took and it was like night and day.
Well heres my broscience on this
Did you weigh yourself the same time of the day? It's best to find a set time like in the morning just when you wake up.
Your weight could vary a lot during the day. This may be a oversimplified example, but if you drink a litre of water you're already a kilogram heavier. Now think about factoring in food, what you've drank, if you've taken a dump that day yet
etc etc. Personally I think it'll be possible, but I don't know how healthy that would be.
On another note:
3 more weeks till I start SS
Just have to wait for the medical aid change over to kick in! I'm pretty keen

Weighed myself the same time at 4pm.

Rather weigh yourself first thing in the morning on an empty stomach...To many things that can affect your weight by 4pm the afternoon, just drinking a **** load of water during the day can make you 2kgs heavier at that specific time

I don't want to read through this whole thread to find what I'm looking for ....
I started reading reading this thread from page 1 and many people seem to be saying that diet is more important than protein supplements.
But, seeing that I don't have time to consume an extended menu of items each meal time ... and also since I don't want to become a hardcore bodybuilder, I just want to flesh out a little bit ---
... is protein supplements the better way for me to go ... or should I just exert my spindly arms to do more exercises?

you need to do both, train and eat better to put on a little size. the protein shakes do help push up your carb and protein intake, I use them, no way I can eat all I need in real food so I use them to supplement.

But what are you looking for more exactly? Bulking, losing fat, ect?
What I can tell you, is you won't get away with a bad diet, even if you drink protein shakes, with a bad diet you will just be wasting your money on the protein shakes, and your time in the gym. Although the time in the gym will keep you body in a somewhat better shape at least.
For starters, this is my advice: Get at the very least, 3 good meals in each day, you should be able to do that. Once you have 3 solid meals in, you can then add meal replacement shakes in, in-between those 3 meals, to get up to the required 5-6 meals per day. And when I say 3 solid meals, it means, a healthy meal that includes the correct proportions of proteins, fats and carbs.
Sadly, if you want that hot summer body for the beach, there really is only one way, and that is, 90% correct diet, 10% training. The training in the gym is just to ensure you have more muscle mass than fat after eating the correct diet.
Still don't get it, well, I leave you this picture, which is the only other thing I can think of sending the message: (I use it as my moto and motivation)

To "flesh out" you are going to have to do what the bodybuilders do I'm afraid. It takes YEARS of training to reach their level. If you are half-assed in the gym, you will yield half-assed results. Plain and simple.
You need to eat more than what your body will burn to add any significant lean muscle. Which means, taking in more calories, which means, more meals, or bigger meals.
As Tinuva stated, we need to know your goals. Drastic differences in diet for each goal. Training is basically the same, but the diet will be the significant difference. Either way, what you want is 100% whey. Forget the "Muscle builder proteins" out there. Filled with sugars. If you need to up the calories, eat more healthy calories. You can actually get more protein and carbs in if they are clean.

I would say it depends on your goals? personally I do it by what my body tells me, but if you want a more informed source of info go read DJ's diet threads on the anabolicsteroids.co.za forum

Firstly a greeting to all the bodybuilders on this thread.
I'm 17, under 50kg, I am bit muscular or maybe just too thin anyway I'm just looking for a way to bulk up and put on a couple kilos of muscle mass. I don't always eat breakfast but have around 3 meals a day and I do eat whenever I can but mostly sweet stuff my friends are amazed at my size they say I have a high metabolism.
I want to know also if this will impact my efforts in anyway ?
Also what supplements would you'll recommend ? I was looking at purified protein and creatine from Clicks
http://www.guzzle.co.za/specials/catalogue/1185/?page=12&view=single
Also looking to supplement my diet with more protein with eggs and bacon I eat rice everyday so that should count towards my carbs ?
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated guys.
