Thread: Help I Need To Get Big ;x nothing is working!

how is your diet?

What does your training schedule look like, and post your workout. Mind as well post your diet to.

I don't know I havn't diet for a while so I think im going to start new but it's so hard to do it at my age exspecially when I can't get the money for the certain food..

Training:
I do whatever theyt ell me to do on football lol like bench etc I work out for liek 1 hour and 40 min every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and on Tuesday and Thursday I have P.E lifting... Also I have P.E everyweek etc.. Normally it has like Benching, Biceps, Legs, Decline Press etc.

Scott getting the right "certain kind of food" isnt necessarily more expensive. I bet you'd save money from quiting all the restaurant/fast food junk and instead prepareing the proper food at home. The eliminating all the junk snacks from your diet will save you even more money.

Also what have you been doing for cardio? Im a lot like you. I tend to fatten up quickly if I dont watch what I eat. My secret is to cut back on the carbs and increase my cardio. The absolute worst thing you can do is quit lifting...........Rich

Yeah but I don't want to lift anymore I can't stand this fucking stretch marks.. When I do cardio I do all sorts.. I run 1 mile etc.. do whatever P.E teacher / Lifting Football teachers says like Run and do sprints then kareoke etc.. THat's true I havn't been eating junk food for long ass time.. I havn't drank pop for 3-4 month.. I havn't ate candy for long time etc.

4 months is not enough time to see anything as far a physical appearance for most people. You might want to think back on your previous workouts and see if you are maximizing your time. You may be socializing to much with other people instead of really putting your mind to lifting. Im not saying you are not working hard but its just a guess. When I first started working out I didnt see anything either. In fact I still dont see much after have been working out for the pas few months. I will say this though. In order to get what I have now my diet was perfect.

Hmm you say you're getting stretch marks, that should be a sign of growth and progress.

Either you really want it and you learn how to change your body, or you dont want it that badly so you quit and be a couch potato for the rest of your days.

Be someone who does something about what they want in life, or be a whiner, you decide.

Alright, thanks guys.. But one more thing.. Should I buy like protien shakes?

yes...protein shakes are good to supplement your diet.

How much protein are you getting in your diet?

You need PROTEIN to build PROTEIN, muscles are meat and meat is made of protein. You can't build it from fat or carbs alone.

1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight is a good starting point and this MUST be throughout the day. Do not count incomplete proteins unless you know how to "complete" them.

ask yourself, how bad do you want it?

hey man, I have almost given up so many times... but it can be done. It takes perseverance and dedication. Do you want to be happy with yourself, or give up, as Mudge said?

Absolutely positively get some protein and have at least one protein shake a day! I would never see results if I didn't have at least one!

Once you add muscle some of the fat will burn off. Eating right is tougher than actually working out.

good luck, and peace!

Ahh IC, alright man thanks for all your help. I won't give up and let my self down I will buy protien shake and yeah I rarely get protien in my diet ;x

I started out very young and ignored diet almost completely, but you are what you eat. If you eat rice you wont build muscle from it, rice is great for energy but its not meat.

Eating is probably what most people dont pay attention to, and why you see most people not making a lot of physical gains in the gym.
