Bulking up.

It's my project. I'm moving up to 125 and have put on a nice amount of weight already, however, I'm not too intelligent on the whole protein/proper weight gain thing. Someone educate me be it they have the time.

Im doing the same thing... One of the guys in my speech class is like 6'5 and weighs nearly 240, all muscle. Your muscles need to grow, so I'd say getting some protein shake formula (its gritty as hell) will help you. Creatine is good only if you take it as the bottle says and no more. For bulking up, the excersizes are more extreme than if you were just toning because youre actually trying to burn fat. You end up breaking down muscle too, so that new muscle can be built on top of it and thats where the creatine and protein come in handy. Things WITH protein are good, and eating meaty things like burgers and steaks and potatoes are just as good, but make sure you couple everything with a healthy work out and alot of water (and bananas). I cant wait till I get completely toned...gotta take pics...

Yea, I stopped playin football my senior year and I fell off so much. I want to walk-on during maybe my soph or Jr. year tho depending on whether I can get into good shape, because when I was playing football I was 185 playing offensive guard so ya know that's not poppin off in college. I'm tryn to shed some fat and build some muscle. Get up to maybe 210, 215. Ay, that surgery sound painful tho.

I worry about using stuff like that. I used to play football(QB), as a matter of fact I played this past spring after the baseball season was over. Anyway, I worry about blowing up too much. I just do the regular work outs, like push ups, bench press, squat, and stuff like that. I mean I'm not that big but my power has increased and I 'm getting a little more toned. I just eat meat, drink milk, and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to gain a little more weight though.

there can be a bad side to lifting all those weights too....I myself, learned this when I went to Tuskegee and saw all these big ****....they were like "I can hit 225 30 times"....Sh*t I was like "I can hit it 6 times"....but on the field...that Sh*t dosent mean anything....when you lift all those weights..you become robotic....you can't move and you don't have flexibility....one of the reasons I could hold my own against those 350 ****...they were slow and super sloppy ...and had no technique....

What is your regular workout? I really do want to build my size and increase my stregnth.
