introducing myself

rookieisme · 09-05-2003, 02:32 AM

What up. I live in Utah and don't know anyone who is into pro-hormones and such. I joined this site hoping to glean what you people will give.
I'm twenty three and have been lifting on and off since I was fourteen. My genetics have given me skinny legs. I have worked on them for a fair amount of time and seen strength increases but not much size. I want to be a shit brick house!!! Right now I'm 5'10" 150 lbs. I also have a friend who wants to start getting ripped the fast way. I have a Gold's Gym membership that I have been neglecting sorely. (frustration)
I realize I don't know much and will look to you for guidance.

Diet diet diet, good luck!

yea, I know I need to get a better diet. It's expensive to eat well. I'm thinking maybe I can get a good pro-hormone to help me on my way. If I could gain ten-fifteen pounds of muscle I will be happy.

Eat -- don't waste the money on a pro-hormone. I would close this post and go into the board and research.

So you don't think that a pro-hormone will help me to build muscle faster?

shortstuff · 09-08-2003, 04:21 PM

a prohormone is totally temporary and you are looking for solid gains, which comes from diet and training so good luck rook

utah ,sweet good climbing

rookieisme · 09-09-2003, 01:02 AM

hell ya, I can go climbing about a half mile from my house.
How temporary are you talking? When I quit taking the prohormone will the gains just drop off, even if I keep lifting and eating well? (nice abs by the way)

shortstuff · 09-09-2003, 07:18 AM

LOL Thanks, a alittle bit of the gains will stay but a lot of the prohormone gives a pump all the time, thinking you are gaining more, mostly what a prohormone does is increase your strength temporarily so you can lift heavier. Seriously better gains come from good eating and get a partner to help you lift heavier. Becaue once you stop the prohormone the pump is gone and the size you though you have, goes back to normal.

shortstuff · 09-09-2003, 07:18 AM

I have used them, and have found I get better longer result from just training heavier.

Cool. I think I will have to experiement with them just to see for myself. That little bit of gain you said I would get is enough to make me want to try it out at least.

shortstuff · 09-09-2003, 12:06 PM

well go to the supplemt board and just do some research and see who likes what.

rookieisme · 09-09-2003, 12:14 PM

right on shorty
So I'm sold on the nutrition thing. I went down to the bookstore but I couldn't find exactly what I want. I looked at Prince's thing but that is kind of expensive and I'm not sure exactly what it will have in it. I need a guide that will give me a bunch of possibilties of things to eat. Specifics. That way I don't have to do so much research. I can just jump into an eating program and form some habits.
Example:
breakfast
pre-lift
after-lift
snack
dinner
Something that will tell me exactly what to eat rather than giving me the strictly scientific info.
Any ideas?
