Much better idea.

Set a schedule and stick to it.

I always end up giving up and having to once again settle with an ADHD-friendly workout routine instead. (10 minute exercise intervals throughout the day at random times as opposed to one 45 minute long session or whatever, which cats make difficult to complete anyway.)

Here's the schedule I started back into after the disc golf season wound down:

(3 sets of 10 reps with medium weight and done after getting home from work)

Mon: Bicep Curls, Bench Press, Pull-Ups
Tues: Tricep Curls, Trap/Deltoid Curls, Military Press
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Leg Day - weighted squats, leg extensions, curls, etc.
Fri-Sun: Rest

Supplement that with either biking, or jumping jacks & and sit-ups every morning to get the blood flowing. I stopped going for full muscle failure and bulk a couple of years back since it was ruining my disc golf game and sending my muscle memory all over the place, but I'm planning on upping the weights a bit this year.

I was using the condo association clubhouse where I live since they have a decent weight room, but I've since moved all my weights, bench, etc. from my garage into a spare room. The clubhouse has been closed since last March and there's no way in hell I'm stepping foot in a gym.

Nice routine, I am trying to just rip the muscles completely until failure and then rest and repeat. I may get a bike to ride around for some cardio but haven't yet.

You're gonna need lots of protein in your diet to get bulky.

I'll buy more at the store if they have some or order more online.

There's a calculator on bb.com you can use to get a rough estimate of what you should be aiming for.

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/mac...calculator.htm

Probably gonna be looking at roughly 200g per day, depending on your size and ****.

It won't take you long to outgrow the weights you have, if you get more don't pay more than $1 per kilo and metal plates are better than the weird vinyl ones.

Keep going mate and good luck.

l0l wot?

Post a link to what you read? Are you sure you're not confusing protein with protein powder?

Cuthbert 11-27-2020 10:30 AM

That's answering a different question.

Protein and Muscle Building

When building muscle, the more protein the better, right? Not necessarily
Well obviously you can overdo it.

You definitely need protein l0l. The bit you posted even says you need it.

175 mg (what the calculator says I should take), would be 7 shakes. At 170 calories each that would be 1190 calories of just protein...

That's about right though...

I don't understand why you're confused. You have to eat more than someone who isn't bodybuilding if you're trying to make your body grow.

Also you don't even need protein powder, it sounds a lot cos you're equating it to protein shakes. You get protein from fish, chicken, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and so on?

175mg per day is easily doable over four or five small meals if you are using protein powder as well.

Good luck
