Gonna join a gym somewhere near work soon, and plan to go a few lunchtimes per week, (i used to work out 4 times a week a few yrs ago, so have no probs going 4 odd times a week) anyways, i am just deciding what i want to get out of this, and wondered if anyone knew what sort of commitment was required in order to start bodybuilding, i mean seriously, would 1hr per day 4 days a week be enuff to start? or would it require more? cos it takes 2hrs to get to work and 2hrs home again its just not possible to do much at the evenings, which is why i am having probs with the equipment in the garage,

cheers for any help

 

2 hours to get to work, how much do ya get payed gra

oh and wouldn be soooooooooo funny seeing ya as wide as ya are tall

did ya need a babys toliet step to et on the bench

 

fook off ya ginger minger i get paid circe 29k, but am looking for another job mate, need more money,

i have seen some bodybuilders when i used to workout similar size, very impressive let me tell ya

 

depending on ur workout ie if u spent most of ur time sittin around talkin and fookin about or if u work ur ass off and have next 2 no breaks.

if u work out for anymore then 40mins solid per session ur doin to much. and thats from some of the biggist fookers at the gym. but if u wonna go mad and b like mr olympia then u'll need to workout like 6 days aweek at least 2hrs a day (broken up of course)

 

start, and you'll soon find out how much commitment is needed!

 

cant ya just jog to work

be well healthy then

 

dunno, do they allow joggers on the M1? can see Karen been well fookin happy with that, "hey kaz, lets not take the car today, lets jog, PS you can carry kacey

 

use the A1 then










but tell me the day ya do as i wanna see it

 

i aint gonna join ya, ill wait for ya on city road

 

I was going to the gym 3 times a week for a bout 1.5 to 2 hrs a session. Gaining no body weight as such as I wasn't eating enough. i stepped up the eating and put a stone and a half on in about 2 months. I work low reps, heavy weights, compound.

used to do hi reps but the aim at the moment is to gain body weight then I'll try some hi reps for next!

bodybuilding is more of a lifestyle than a hobby.. You'll need to eat 2g of protein per pound of bodyweight everyday...You need to plan meals.

Training in lunchtimes is unadvisable..you should be eating then!

seriously though, take it easy to start off with..beginners build muscle very easily for the first few months.

 

hi mate

check out my site

www.muscletalk.co.uk

I am a pretty big mofo myself have been up over 21 stone with 10% body fat at times

 

I think if you still feel you have the energy to get to the gym then go for it!
You probably eat a lot already yeah? Food builds muscles thats the key.

you might not get the gains of a non labouring type person but it will sure refine what you already have.

I'm no expert though.

 

bodybulding....one bit of advice...beware of roid rage!! (kev starts running from all the big boys)

 

Lol Gra i can just see you in a few years time

 

that will do nothing for muscle size mate, it will increase strength, but unfortunatley you need a more scientific approach to build muscle, also you cannot train the same muscles everyday as this will have a negative effect on them, what you are doing is improving tendon strength a little and keeping you fit nothing more.

Gra, haven't read the other posts, but I've been training for over 10 years at varying levels of intensity. I have never trained more than 4 x 60mins for more than a couple of weeks in a row, and most of the time 3x 60mins is the time spent in the gym. With bodybuilding it becomes a lifestyle and it takes more commitment and concentration outside of the gym than in. You need to make sure you are getting enough of the right food at the right time and enough rest. This is when you grow!, not when you are in the gym.

After a while it will become second nature, and as I advised Lewis, make small changes at first otherwise it will be too much of a shock and you could give up.

Don't waste money on any drugs at first either. Yes they work, but my advice is to get to know your body first and build up a solid foundation naturally. I am 5'7" and got to 15.5 stone naturally before I went on the gear. I then went upto 18st and had 20" arms . I then had testicular cancer(read into this what you will regarding drug use!), I dropped back to 15.5 stone and then levelled out back to 17st. Since then I've trimmed down further to 16st and haven't touched the gear for 6 years. This show's that building a solid natural base is the way forward

It can get a little extreme if you are not careful. I used to get up in the middle of the night for protein drinks etc and have heard pros tell stories of picking desicated liver tablets out of their own puke and re-eating them again, coz they've thrown up on a leg sessions You do not need to go to these extremes!! After all it should be enjoyable and you should take pleasure in being able to ttrain and eat consistently resulting in you changing the way you look.

Hope this helps

Paul.
