hey man, im only 18, and in a 4 week period, i put on 16 pounds ! the only reason, i did it was because i made a bet with bran, we had 4 weeks to make maximum progress, and in that 4 weeks. i ate so much , and worked out like 5 times a week.I also started up on protein shakes. ive kept up the hard training, and hope to keep growing and gaining,

so much is possible if you put all your effort into it.

what im trying to say is we have a slight atvantage here. we are young.if your really wanting to get into weights, you have to commit to it and say to yourself i want to get from here to here. and DO IT . thats why i take photos of myself so i know where i am and i still have a image of where i want to get too. i recon you can do pritty well. you have nice weights there. but remeber you can have the best weights, but no one can buy the hard work you put into it.

keep working out, and if you need advise just pm me

I think your looking for advice on the wrong board... try the more visited boards such as the supplement board, or wieght training board and you will get a good response. If all else fails, PM Needsize (who doesnt actually need any more size imo)... the advice he gives works. When everyone asks for stats, they need to know your current weight, your bf (body fat percentage), how much protein your taking in, in a day, your overall diet, and your goals (i.e., are you training to look good? = bodybuilding, are you training to be strong? = powerlifting, are you planning to gain weight etc).

Good luck!

First of all thank you guys for your replies and advices. Right now i don't really have a diet i just try to eat as healthy as possible which is kinda hard because i'm in high school and the food there is junk but i got to eat it anyways, i don't know what my body fat is to be honest i never checked that before but i took this picture a few days ago http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=9/26321565389.jpg&s=x7 maybe you experts can give me an idea

i don't think is that bad i've played soccer all my life and as i told yall i just started workin out with weights.

My training consists of 2-3 hours everyother day doing 4 sets 12 repetitions of everything, once i can do 4/12 i add more weight, my goals are to do what Assertive Guy said gain more weight, be more strong and look good :dance2:

you guys think i should do more sets or repetitions to improve my workout?

I'll pm Needzise maybe he can tell me of a good nutritional supplement to build more muscle.

PS: sorry for my spell errors but i'm still learning english

I know very few people who train more than an hour per workout... what allot of us tend to do is a 'split'. This means you split your programm up so you only train one or two parts per session... this way you can train muscles more specificly. This way you can train every day/every other day and get even better results. Supplement wise you got some choices... the basics are getting a protein powder (which you mix into a shake) - try EAS, a multi-vit - best one is probabily Megaman by GNC.

Plus, I'd stick to 12-24 sets per whole workout and no more, or do just dont go over an hour (you just waste energy).

Other supplements you might want to look into are:

- Creatine
- Cardio Breeze
- Ergo-pharm products
- Glutamine
- Flax Seed oil
- Omega 3 fish oil
- Ephedrine/Caffiene/Asparin (commonly named 'The ECA stack')

That will keep you busy a while! ...and there are plenty more...

Once again thank you Assertive Guy for your reply. I'll take your advice about the spliting program and see how i do. Last weekend i went to the outlets and saw a store with all those proteins stuffs i'll go this weekend again and check the ones you mentioned. i'll be posting more pics later hopefully with more progress

You are working out way too long. Try to keep it to less then 1 1/2 hours at the most. I am not a big fan of the 12 rep range. From my experiences, I gained way more muscle/size doing lower rep/powerlifting workouts. Do some heavy exercises like BB bench, deads, squats, rows, pullups etc.. If you want mass, you gotta lift heavy, if you want to look like the guy playing beach volleyball, then thats a different story.

Lift heavier, about 3x per week and cut the time WAY down. You won't see much gain if you don't. Get the 12 rep, mens fitness crap out of your head. Look up the 5x5 routines and do a single factor(not dual) program. I bet you will see awesome gains and never go back to what your doing now. Just think, you will have about 10 more hours a week free and gain much more!!
