| I plan to Build muscle and gain weight and get a nice body. I am taking these protein bars called XXL Mass. They have 40 g of protein and I have gained 6 pounds in 2 weeks. But I wanna know if there is a more effective and faster way. I want to get some nice big pecs and big arms. Any Workouts and food ideas so I can build some mass and muscle?? What other protein bars or pills are good?? I cant drink the shakes cause I have a low tolerance on mik liqiuds. I am using Machines in the gym to build muscle because I heard resistance builds nothing but muscle. Right now I am at 151. I want to get to 185 but I want to get to 175 first then use free weights to gain the rest plus focus more on building streghth from there. So please any workouts and diet plans that can help please inform me!! |

| You can drink protein with water which is the way it should be consumed. I would recommend On 100% Whey since it mixes well in water and tastes great. It is also affordable and it works.It looks like you want to work on the 'mirror' muscles. I am going to point out that most of your mass is in your legs so don't forget to work those out.Since you are a beginner I strongly suggest that you take a look at a program called Rippetoes Starting Strength. You can google it. It is the most effective program for beginners and if I could turn back the clock to when I started I would do this program. It focuses on mostly compound movements which will pack on the mass, provided your diet is good. Take a look at this program and you won't regret it.As for foods try and incorporate a lot of chicken breast, lean ground beef, tuna, eggs. They are fairly cheap and provide a good amount of protein per 100g. Aim to eat a minimum of 500g of meat a day. You also need a good source of carbohydrates I usually get mine from oats, rice, pasta, potatoes. I would also consider investing in a multivitamin preferably one which has fish oil in it to help boost testosterone levels. Lastly, ensure that you drink a lot of water minimum of 2 litres a day and more on your workout days. |
