if you have a fast metab it usually ends in you getting a fat gut in your late 30's when it slows down. Thats what i have seen. I have to ask my brother what he did cus he used to be skinny but he is practically as built as me now, im not sure how he did it but it is what he wanted. ill text him and ask.
Building muscle and going to the gym
- Thread starter dragong87
- Start date
ok for exercise he said he does a short amount of repetitions with heavy weights to bulk and long reps of lighter weights to tone so im guessing he does both.
For food he said it doesn't matter what you eat (for him anyway), just eat on a regular basis due to muscle gain and energy lost, he said you can get the shakes and stuff for that but he doesn't buy that stuff, just eats a lot.
You can control how built you are, if you feel you are built enough at any point then don't go higher on the weights.
so all in all, short reps, heavy weight, and eat lots (but not junk).

Yah, go to bodybuilding.com
Nobody on this forum lifts weights but me and maybe one or two other guys.
Lift heavy and take a multivitamin
On a serious note:
You need motivation and desire to build a better body first. Two key things go into building a better body
Exercise = 20% of goals
Lift heavier if you want to look "toned"
Lift more reps if you want to build muscle.
Diet = 80% of goals
Eat less if you want to lose weight, eat more if you want to build muscle. If it fits in your macros, you can eat it.
I've gorged on 3-4 Big Macs in one sitting on some weekends during the summer. Still dropped weight.

If there's really guys 5'1" over there @ 220 lbs of muscle, they're probably going for competition.
There's a lot of work to be done prior to bodybuilding competitions. Looking jacked isn't enough. There's two guys at my gym that compete, they're bulky, but they look extremely ripped for contests. In the off season, they're still strong looking, but they're not nearly as cut because they go back onto a regular workout routine and eating regime.
It takes a lot of work to go from something like 225lbs @ 7% body fat to trim down to 223lbs @ 5% body fat.
Gotta look good with a spray on tan and baby oil yo!
