give me a break i only been working out a few months
 
When you say concentrated on mostly upper body.. what do you mean exactly?
Bench press and curls?
If you weren't squatting then you probably gained about 4 pounds of lbm and thats at the maximum. The rest is likely water and body fat accumulations.
What's your diet look like?

i do cardio exercising also such as swimming and/or walk/running for 1 to 3 miles every day

swimming for a hour or two or more depending on how hot it is


for breakfast i have a few eggs, toast



lunch very from day to day



dinner Chicken Breast boiled with spices, hot sauce (for flavoring) (No extra OILS ) ,rice and side of vegetable


i try to keep calorie intake around 1500 or less

That's hardly a muscle building routine. I'm afraid I'm going to have to lower my estimate.

I feel like you should get some more info before you go off on your own for a few months in attempt to get into better shape. From looking at your diet and workout you will likely lose weight, fat and muscle, while not building any muscle. So if you want some help, stick around.:wits:

There is no way in hell you gained 20 pounds in a couple of months on 1500 calories a day while doing cardio...
 
Really though, your diet and exercise routines suck ass. You really need to stick around and read the stickies if you plan to get in shape

i do pushup when i am waiting to respawn in the video game


i also do biceps curls also every day with 30 pound weight (cheap adjustable kind ) ether one 30 pound or two 20 pound's


20 pound weight is too easy


might have to buy a newer one? that has more weight?

i also have a protein drink also after working out


i just want to get 6 pack :D


anything else is just a bonus


last time i weigh myself 4 or 5 months ago ( I do not like doing it too often maybe every 6 months at the most)

better then not doing anything at all!:thinking:

You ARE doing nothing at all!
You need to educate yourself my friend. Read as much of the content of this site as you possible can.
POST NOTHING! Just read!

Sorry, but I think you're looking for the Abercrombie and Fitch forum.

I feel like maybe we should actually try to help this guy. It's obvious he hasn't done much research, which frustrates us all. Here is my attempt to point him in the right direction.

Anon,

To build muscle and lose fat you must eat more. 1500 cals is a very harsh cutting diet. You will likely lose muscle and fat while doing this. I would shoot for closer to 2500 cals a day, around 200g protein.

Not all people believe this, but I feel that if you are on a strict calorie deficit for an extended period of time that your body will go into starvation mode. This would cause your body to attempt to store fat even if you are barely eating. This is one good reason to throw in a cheat meal or day to keep your metabolism from slowing down.

You are over training cardio. There is no reason to ride a bike for three hours a day unless your training for tour de france. An hour max, if that.

Swimming is a great form of cardio, doing that for 30-60 minutes is great. I would suggest alternating days between swimming and biking.

DO SQUATS!!!
The quads are the largest muscle in the body. You will burn more calories and build more muscle this way, the more muscle mass you have the higher your metabolism will be. Squatting with weights forces your core to contract as well, helping that six pac. If you don't have access to a gym, try to get it, in the mean time you can hold your dumbells in your hands at your shoulders and do a shoulder press at the top of the squat, turning this into a full body exercise.

I've done workouts before with only dumbells, if thats all you've got you can make due. You'll also need a chair.

Stuff you can do:
Pushups
Bend over rows
Shrugs
Standing rows
Overhead triceps extensions
Dips
Lateral raises
Shoulder press
Deadlifts
Cleans
SQUATS

Some of these obviously aren't as good with dumbells as they are with barbells, but something is better than nothing.

Avoid working the same muscle group two days in a row. Your muscles need time to recover, this is when the building happens.

I would suggest getting a pullup bar as well, by far the best way to develop your back.

Or you could do something like this;

:funny:

Need a pushup/curling partner Marc?

Apparently. :bawling:

I eat Healthy Choice dinners, take my Flintstones multi vitamins and do 4 hours of Cardio a day! I just don't get it!:hmmm:
Maybe I should invest in more expensive 20 lb. weights?:shrug:
