    I need to be hungrier!!

    If you are not accustom to eating a lot of food, it's difficult in the beginning. The body WILL however get used to it. It just takes time. If you regularly eat 1500 calories per day, just add 500 per day for a week or two. Then when that is getting easy to eat, add another 500 per day...

    Antioxidants and Hypertrophy

    I thought vitamin C was water soluble and any excess would be harmlessly excreted.

    One month / one pound

    Eating well over your maintenance level of calories not only provides calories, but it also stimulates anabolic reactions.

    Cutting

    Health foods in the US isn't really all that healthy. IMO most foods reduce fat and increase sugar, which really messes up metabolism, blood sugar levels and causes weight increases and diabetes. It is way more healthy to eat regualr whole butter than a highly processed/hydrogenated margarine...

    Cutting

    The main thing about cardio, is that it conditions your body to burn fat hormonally. When the body 'thinks' it is getting frequent aerobic work, it will more easily free up its most efficient form of energy. That form of energy is...FAT. Fat is the preferred energy source for low intensity...

    ? for those who don't get enough protein

    I count all protein in meat and dairy. I don't count protein in fruits, vegetables, or grain/cereals. My total is a little more than I think due to the protein in the fruits etc. that I don't figure into my calculations. That last sentence sounds complicated hu? Didn't mean for it to be...

    Cutting

    Sorry that I keep responding to all your threads flow. Tell me to 'knock it off' and I will. You and I have similar concerns, and I've pretty much sorted them out during the last 2-3 years. Anyway FWIW... There's one major thing you didn't mention, but you probably do include daily, that is...

    Could use some guidance

    Here's a few answers: 1. increase the rest time between the first and second set. You will recover more and will be able to lift more. Try resting 2 minutes between sets. 2. Everyone arches their back when using heavy weights, or getting near failure. Just try and stay strict. I also like...

    The Warrior Diet

    What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Try the diet for a month or so to see if you like it and if it produces the results you're looking for. I tried the Anabolic diet a few years ago. It worked okay, but I didn't enjoy eating all the fat/oil. Some people really...

    shoulders overcoming pecs

    Maybe work on your form. Instead of 'pushing' the weight during bench/incline, think about raising your bicpes upward. Don't focus on triceps pushing the weight upward. The other thing form-wise is to keep your chest sticking out as much as you can through the entire movement. Especially...

    Case for less meals

    Gaining weight is done using only 2 meals per day in professional Sumo Wrestling. According to Akebon, Konishiki, and Musashimaru, to name a few. They maintain that they eat only 2 meals per day. They gain lots of weight on stews and white rice. Granted, they are really big (fat) but they are...

    Alternatives to the HSN Supplements

    I've used supplements for the better part of my 20's. Now at age 38, I don't see the need. I don't rush around and have a million things to do like when I was a college student. Back then, the supplements were a convenient way to eat. But now, I rely on whole foods. IMO works just as well...

    Alternatives to the HSN Supplements

    Ask your mom to get you multi-vitamins/minerals so you know your getting them all. Then you don't have to make your diet as varied. You can eat the same thing most of the time. This makes counting calories much easier. Speaking of calories, I suspect you're trying to gain size....so just...
