DollarAndADream Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Not looking forward to the gym population rising in a big way once the New Year's resolution people hit. Always happens every year....packed for January then dies down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Fring Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 So there this tough guy at my gym, 2x my size, one day he's staring at me doing seated shoulder presses I notice it in the mirror and look at him once I finish my set, he giggles and looks away as I make eye contact...... today I'm on the cardio bike upstairs, you can see the weight area downstairs from the cardio section...... I just get this feeling to look down and I see this guy literally standing there and staring up at me.....?! What would you do? Troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLuciano Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I gained 14lbs in a month from 108g of isoflex protein and food in 4 n half weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key2thecup Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Why is it that YOU always seem to have these problems? Maybe you are doing something. I'm not dude, it's that same gym though from my previous story so I guess its the fact im a black sheep there even if I don't do anything. Yeah and I started going to a gym across town, its got better equipment and I can bench/squat/dead now.... never had a problem with anyone, everyone is nice and courteous.... I'm gonna stop going to this gym by my house. Stare into his soul until he chokes from discomfort... Jk but seriously, you gotta start ignoring these things. Just focus and ignore everyone else... Or if you can't, bring a friend to distract you between sets. Yeah true, anytime I'm with a friend no-one looks at me. What you said is true, I have to learn how to ignore this type of crap and not let it get to me. I would look the other way, mind my own business, and see what happens Good advice, nothing is going to happen though, it's just a ego thing, the guy wants me to look away and then it inflates his ego and he feels he gain +10 manhood points Edited December 26, 2013 by key2thecup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key2thecup Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I gained 14lbs in a month from 108g of isoflex protein and food in 4 n half weeks Not bad, whats your stats? If 5lbs of that is muscle thats a good growth rate 108g/day? from the shakes? Edited December 26, 2013 by key2thecup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key2thecup Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 That seems excessive. How much do you weigh? Minimum protein intake is 0.36-0.525g/kg/day and optimal for adult male is about 0.8g/kg/day. Professional athletes looking to gain muscles while working out intensively would require 2.0 g/kg/day. The fact that you are getting 100 g of protein from just shakes, it seems a bit too excessive especially if you aren't one of those Mr. Olympia guys. I'm at like 176ish, my bf% is probably 14-17% Off BB.com Recent research shows that the RDA doesn't appear to meet the needs of exercising adults. One of the top researchers in this field, Dr Peter Lemon, stated in a recent review paper that, "the RDA for those engaged in strength training should be about 1.7 - 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day". Dr Lemon came to this conclusion after citing several studies (Fern, 1991, Tarnopolsky et al., 1992) which used amounts of protein ranging from 1.3 - 3.3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. At Kent University researchers tested 3 different groups of people: On a low protein diet which was 0.9 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. Another group eating 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. A group eating 2.4 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. Both sedentary and strength training groups were involved. The results showed that 1.4 grams resulted in protein synthesis while there were no changes in the low protein group and, finally, the group that ingested 2.4 grams of protein did not see any more increased protein synthesis than the 1.4 grams of protein group. Another study conducted at the Letterman Army Institute of Research in San Francisco showed that subjects on a higher protein intake (2.8 g/kg/day), coupled with intense strength training, gained a whopping 3.28 kg (7.2 lbs) of lean mass. The study was done over a 40-day period and the subjects were trained to near exhaustion (2). Another study of weightlifters over a 3 month period, with the protein increased from 2.2g/kg/day to 3.5 g/kg/ day, resulted in a 6% increase in muscle mass and a 5% increase in strength (3). http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/maki1.htm 176lbs to kg x 1.4 per kg , puts me at around 110g/day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:D Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Someone staring at you in the gym is the same as someone tapping their foot underneath toilet partitions. It's gay code for a hookup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm at like 176ish, my bf% is probably 14-17% Off BB.com 176lbs to kg x 1.4 per kg , puts me at around 110g/day But you also get protein from food. There's rarely a reason someone needs more than two scoops of whey a day. I've stopped using protein all together. I get better results from chicken, tuna, steak, etc.. The only time I'd consider whey is when I'm cutting and need to keep calories low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I didn't factor that..... right now I'm still skinny-fat, a weird ecto-endo combo, my build is skinny and lanky at 6' but I carry way too much weight on my stomach, ass and a chubby face...... if ya'll remember I have cut down from 200lbs to 167, and now I'm hovering around 175ish.... so I'm hesitant to go all out bulking diet in fear that I'm going to bloat up again, since that cut didn't elimate my gut and other problem spots (did make a HUGE difference though)..... So I'm trying to eat clean, supplementing protein in, and training hard. My strength is going up all around. My breakfast is like 2 whole eggs, a slice of toast, and a shake using 2% milk 500ml. TL;DR version, I'm not eating a lot, more minimal meals plus protein supp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Well the gyms are full... Brace yourself as it could get even worse! Expect the storm to last another couple of weeks to a month and the weather should clear up as the storm moves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you I'd focus on training for now and not worry about bulking or cutting. Wait until you hit a wall before worrying about that. Right now just try to lift consistently and get better each session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
