But Lift heavier, less reps, more water, don’t workout on an empty stomach.

Fish & steak are the best proteins you can get in meat. Shit, I had that prison creatine. That shit will make you fat as fuck if you ain't careful lol

The thing that had the biggest effect on me, was eating +500-800 calories than I burn per day. You can find the general amount of calories you burn with some online calculators and applying some common sense, when you counting calories, i don't sit there and break it down like long division, just keep it general, and always round down, so it force you into the thought process of, i need that extra snack, or i need that extra meal. Ensure you working out like 4 times a week, (if you asking for advice on a forum, im assuming you are serious enough to go 3-4 times a week). That's if you want bulk obviously, i just eat whatever the fuck, i got a high metabolism so I don't gotta worry about getting too many carbs or fat, maybe later on, but at the moment this is how i'm doing it. +20lbs in 4 months, as you notice yourself weighing more, increase your calorie intake slightly, 100 cal's give or take, don't gotta get extreme. If you force yourslf to eat a lot one day, work out, generally the next day your body will be dying for food, so you'll have a big appetite, at that point, its just consistency. Hope this helped. Ez.

Anyone a gym rat? Have any idea how to get back to getting the pumps i was on isolation machines without finding a new gym all together.

Also any advice on preworkouts? Right now I'm on "Beyond Raw : Lit" two scoops so 600mg of caffeine before a workout. Anything that works as well without the face flushing?

Work on your form, and increase your reps and the weights each set. Remember to not lift too heavy coz bodybuilding and powerlifting are two different things.

The key is to mix them up and keeo the body guessing. If you repeat the same workouts over and over, you'll start to see less and less gains as time goes on due to the body "being used to these movements".

Try leaning back on a bench that's on a 45 degree angle.Arms down with knuckles facing towards the floor and lift them all the way up together slowly. 4 seconds up & 4 seconds down. This range of motion is far greater than standing and lifting by your sides, thus creating more tensions on the forearms and biceps.

Secondly. Try doing this in a reverse position where the bench is slightly higher up but still at an angle (not fully up). Lay on the bench with your neck over the top of the bench head. Again, arms down by your sides and lift upwards towards yourself. Again for 4 seconds up & 4 seconds down.

Another point. It's not so much about how heavy you can lift, rather the focus you put into the motion/movements you are doing.

The first muscle group you train at the start of any gym session will garnish the most benefit as later on lactic acid goes into the muscles and you'll end up with a lesser workout/lesser gains on other muscle groups later on in the session. Time & focus is key to improving gains.

Personally, when i train (especially if i've done a serious back workout) i swim afterwards. If it was mainly an arm/leg dominant workout i'll do the front crawl, if back workout, breast stroke.

Like RULE said, I personally find martial arts much more interesting and the gym is difficult for me to get motivated.

Now I'm going to start pre-workout for the first time and I'm going to exclusively focus on cardio. I fought in September at 216lbs and by about August I want to be around 170lbs. I'll do interval training on the treadnill for about 20 minutes, followed by about 20 mins on the rowing machine. If I'm bothered, I'll chuck in some weights at the end of it. Squatting is one of your best but I've had a left knee injury for a while but my right knee took a bad knock during my training so squatting is too scary.

Being Glaswegian, I'm rarely interested in vegetables so my diet will consist mostly of steak, mince, eggs, chicken, pork chops etc.
