I started to lift 3 weeks ago since I stop playing Tibia like 2 months ago and have loooot of free time, so why not having a good body?
I've two questions:
Do you know any GOOD English/Spanish Forums specially for Gym/Bodybuilding etc?
Wich protein shake you think is good for beginners like me (20 years old/1.73cms/65kgs)
Thanks for reading, hope you can help me :rolleyes:
bodybuilding.com
1.73cms, what kind of creature are you!?

@Jah <3
Yesterday I bought some cheap shit protei shake and it taste like mead with sugar.
I'm selling it on eBay and going to buy some more expensive shit!
You should talk with @Nostrax, he is strong as hell. Can lift 500kg+
haha everyone getting jack up for the summer :P
well im a beginner as well, at the end of this week ill have completed my first month in the gym :cool:
i got this protein, which is really good in rocky road flavor (i think its the same one @Nostrax uses) : http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrit...d+whey+protein
and im currently doing this workout plan (with other routines as well and im already seeing results) : http://www.muscleandstrength.com/wor...t-workout-plan
and some advice: dont try to do too much too quick you'll burn yourself out and when you dont get the results you were hopping for you'll get discourage and stop going to the gym, like my trainer says "this is a life style not a season thing!" (then he makes me do push ups haha fucking trainer)
1.73 and 65kg, my first advice is to eat a fucking lot and work out like a mofo xD
Liez, i'm drinking beer, eating pizza and just not giving a fuck.Quote:

MY first tip: Dont do this halfway, u wont get any muscles at all then. Go ALL OUT and learn EVERYTHING, how the body works and why we gain muscles and so forth.
Good tecnique (spelling???) over weight, ALWAYS. With that said, always try to lift heavier. I like http://www.simplyshredded.com/ , besides that I only read swedish forums and stuff.
Personally I prefer "lean gains", read more about it here: http://www.leangains.com/
Summer is already here, its gonna take you atleast a year to get results lolQuote:

Yea u'll see results the first 2 to 6 months but if U'd like to reach anything in this sport u'll have to train over 4 years with a strong diet and a high intensity of your training, and be consistant!
Also like somebody said before, good form and technique above heavy weights!
Somebody took this one from me yesterday! :D

@iMike
Since you've just started I'd like you to check out these:
http://scoobysworkshop.com/
http://askscooby.com/
http://youtube.com/user/Scooby1961
It's pretty much the same guy. His website, his forum and his youtube channel. He's like 52 and his body is probably build better than any 25 year old's these days. o_O
The reason I'm mentioning him is because he got me into this whole bodybuilding stuff. D: And beside everything, his website/forum is completely free, anyone can share their opinion and there's not a single thing like "Order this and you'll lose 25 lbs in a month!"
And the community there is great. Just for example. I love XenoBot because of the community, there's no such thing with other bots and it's the same thing with these bodybuilding forums. bodybuilding.com is full of retards and that pretty much kept me away this whole time, I've never registered there, askscooby.com on the other hand is more like amateur bodybuilding forum, there's a lot of friendly people trying to help as much as they can, and of course there's a few retards as well like everywhere else.
And of course, I wouldn't mention all of that, if it didn't worked for me. o_O I've lost 27 kg (59.5 lbs) - pure fat :( - since January and now I'm off to bulk up. D: Of course I've quit Tibia since then, became vegetarian and later on even vegan, but that's whole another story. :)
And about supplements, I unfortunately am not so much into bodybuilding stuff yet, I'm just like you starting to get my head into this whole thing. xD

OP, don't listen to this at all.
You will see gains and improvement consistently if you train properly and keep your diet in check. Dieting is key when trying to change your body. Your body is a reflection of what you put inside of it. There is no time frame on when you will see results and when you will plateau. If you train hard and hit your macros you will see results. There are stages where it seems difficult to continue gaining however this is different for everyone. If you are trying to gain, remain eating at a calorie surplus. Opposite if you're trying to lose.
I'm a health science major and ex-"ectomorph".
People who give you time frames are uneducated on this topic and should do a bit more homework.
As far as supplements go, if you dont have your diet in check there is no point for supplements. Supplements are exactly that -- a supplement. They assist your already good dieting habits. Dont take supplements and expect gains if youre eating mcdonalds and crap food (you can still see results but not as much as you would if you ate clean). Eat well, and take the proper supplements and youll see results. A protein, creatine, Multi-Vitamin, and Fish Oil are pretty much the basics. There are more supplements but these should get you started.
Nostrax is right. Form and technique are WAY more important than the weight youre lifting. This needs to be understood before doing anything. When you go to the gym, check your ego at the door. There will always be someone stronger and bigger. Don't try and show off in the gym, youll look like a tool.Quote:

You have to eat enough proteins and carbo, not everything which you can find in your fridge :p bodybuilders diet is very hard, but very healthy, you have to eat fresh meat, fishes, cottage cheese, vegetables, fruits and pasta or rice.Quote:

I do have the body of an athlete, unfortunately the athlete in question is an Ethiopian marathon runner. Its a start though
I second that.. Been using optimun for about 3 years now, always reaching my small goals and very happy. Id reccomendo also, fish oil pills, multi-vitamins, green tea and vitamin c to make ur body reach performance at its best..Quote:

I can't wait for another few weeks when I can start heading back to the gym this summer and getting back into shape, need to shed some of this fat I've put on from exams and not being able to go rock climbing.
Green Tea and Fatburners in the cutting phase yea :)Quote:

You have to buy Whey protein ( that it is taken after the workout session) and then buy Casein protein ( that it is taken during the anabolic proces while you are sleeping). I have been going to the gym during 2 years, and this works perfect. Then you could add some creatine and BCAA's.
;)
In the cutting phase you can also add L-Carnitine. ;)Quote:

And also, whoever said anything about fat burners... lol. Do you belive in god aswell? Buying fatburners is like praying. If you belive it works, it works. but IRL it dont do shit.
