Working out.

I started going to the gym 1 month ago, almost 6 days or everday for around an hour. I'm not sure if this workout scheme is ok, i focus on one body part a day (triceps or biceps or shoulders or anything) and a little cardio to warm up before working out. I take two servings of mass gainer with two scoops (one for the morning and one before going to sleep/after gym) during the weekdays and one serving of 3 scoops during the weekend after dinner. My friend told me if I want better results take 3 servings a day but I just can't find any time to do that when I'm at school. And i have problem with my diet, I don't have a really huge appetite and I don't eat my breakfast at school which means i usually have 2 meals everyday during the weekdays. I eat white rice everyday which I think it has quite a lot of carbs? And some meat, eggs and vegetables but I don't think I get much calories from the meals. It's been one and a half month since I started going to the gym and I only see a little change with my biceps and chest and I've only gained around 2 kg after I took a bucket of Muscle Juice Revolution 2600.

Should I change my diet? or maybe it doesn't really matter? Is the workout scheme ok? And why is it taking so long for me to gain some mass??

I was going to invest in some shakes but I don't have the money to throw around yet :(

I only do cardio to warm up/warm down

Nah I only curl once during my time there, it's about 40kg on a thing like you lean over and sit on .. so like you don't use your back and just your arms :P If you know what I mean. My stomach has probably expanded tbh the amount i eat I have a huge appetite and I usually have like a takeaway everyday :P .. today was KFC and tmoz is Wing Wah (Chinese buffet) :D

I'd say if you're going six times a week is a bit much esp at your age. I don't know how old you are but it's best to wait till your body has developed a little more before you start weightlifting and such.. mass gainer , isn't that to put on weight.. high in carbs? If unsure please provide me with the details of it... like amount of carbs, protein mainly. Little cardio is fine, I do very little cardio too.

If anything cut your routine down, you're going the gym nearly everyday and I doubt you're eating enough to see the results because you're working it all off. what is your weight now? and do you have a target weight? When I started I was 10 stone 4 pounds and now I'm 13 stone 7 pounds.. I have a digestive disorder which makes it hard for me to gain weight, but obviously it can be done. Maybe 3 days a week and 2 hour sessions ?

You can continue taking the shakes as much as you want.. I know people who take them everyday, I personally don't but I do eat a lot.. and I do eat A LOT of meat. Though im not sure if the shake you're taking might be best in your situation.

As for the results, it's very hard to gain muscle and even weight if you're young. It will come, train hard, eat lots of meat and maybe change your shake and you'll be on your way!

(this is clearly my own opinion and I have no scientific knowledge, it's just what works for me).

I'm only 16. Before i started, i was only 119 pounds and around 5' 10", underweight.. 176 pounds is my target weight and i know it takes years to achieve that haha. I've cut down my gym days to 4 days a week, 1 hour each session with split workouts.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/un/musclejuicerevolution2600.html< This is what i'm taking atm. yes it's a mass gainer, i thought i could put on some weight with this so i started taking it. I poop almost everyday or when i overeat but i doubt that will make it hard for me it gain weight?

oh and is there anything that i can do to stop my muscles from shaking when im trying to lift something heavier?

i wish i had the $ to go to the gym. bak at home I could afford to go and I would make sure I get value for $ (i.e. I would go 4x/week) but here in UK it is quite impossible... :( I can only go for free dumbells which require a lot more self-motivation

If your arms are like that from once a week, you should go 4 times a week to see better results IMO. Cant tell from the pic but I dont know what the rest of your bodies like, before I started the gym i had naturally big biceps, traps and quadriceps (for my size at the time) but had no triceps, chest, hamstrings or calves. But 2 hours a week doesnt seem like you can train all the main muscles.. Legs, Chest, Shoulders, Back and Arms. Im not criticising just advice even though im younger and smaller than you. but all in all, good shape bicep mate!

binge & purge oxoxoxo

If your muscles are shaking that much you probably shouldn't be lifting that much (weight wise) don't over work yourself to the extent like that, lower weight can work just as well. Unless you're not keeping yourself hydrated enough (to which you would likely experience a lot of fatigue.. shaking all over.. feeling weak). Lucozade I find works best in the gym for that (the still version).

Pooping once a day is normal and won't affect your weight gain. If you're out to gain weight, keep taking that :)

I haven't got the time to go four times a week :P My chest isn't very big though I do agree, my triceps and biceps/legs are ok. :) I'm all up for criticism though! It will probably influence me to change my workout and get better results because of it.. though for the moment I don't want any further results. Just to retain what I have atm :)

sorry to bump this thread, just wanna ask a question.

Does anybody know any good forearm workout? @Zak; ?
