Been thinking...

ptwannabe · 03-16-2008, 10:23 PM

Just some things that came into my mind while I was bored today.

Is it all up to genetics how you will grow no matter how solid of a workout routine and diet you have?

Do all the body builders/insanely muscular guys use steroids?

How long does it take to get results like a body builder for one who doesn't take steroids but takes normal supplements like creatine, whey, and has a clean-solid diet?

I dunno I was just thinking about the last few years and wondering if its worth it, eating only clean foods and working out religiously. I've put so much work into it and only to have so little to show for it. Does it usually take this long to see major results? Could it just be genetics in why I haven't seen results like others do in there first years of lifting?

If you guys could critique my bulking routine I'd really appreciate it for the next time I bulk up right after these bulking weeks.

Post that in the diet and nutrition forums to get a good response to it, this is more for workout/training routines.

In addition to that, throw us some stats such as current age, weight, BF%, goals, etc.

No, it's only part of the equation

90%

Like a today's bodybuilder? Never

In the last few months I have learned that most people worry too much about stupid shit. Research shows that most programs and diets deliver similar results.

Train, eat, rest. That really is 90%.
