Hi everyone - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

rayvonn · 15-07-2006, 02:15 PM

Hi everyone im 28 and I am just starting bodybuilding and have been training for 1 month now, Ive done little bits of weight training before for rugby but now I want to build myself up mainly for aesthetic purposes.
I have a reasonable frame with quite thick lats and 16 inch arms on 5ft 10, Getting 18 inch arms is one of my immediate aims and growing generally all over without any worries about tone for the moment id like to train hard and bulk up for at least a couple of years first.
I am taking lots of whey as due to work commitments I cannot always have proper meals regularly and ive ordered some creatine ethyl ester powder apart from that I take multi vits 4 times a day, I dont want to take too much stuff but what would you recommend are essential to add to this supplementation to achieve maximum muscle mass.
Any help at all is appreciated and im sure I will make some friends here who can guide me to a franco columbo physique lol

cheers

Hi mate welcome to the board..

what is your weight?

and can you post up your diet on an average day?? (how many calories, carbs, protein etc on a day2day basis).

Why would you wanna keep the fab? You can still pack on good muscle while staying lean, just stick between 10-15% body fat - read the thread in the general section, there are a few opinions on this....

Supps wise, If you are gonna keep the excess bulk, then just eat every thing in sight mate! If your gonna lean up a bit, hit a Protien/Carb/Fat diet and work out the amount of calories you need...if you need help to do that then its here.

Supps wise, Creatine is good as it will bulk you up fast, also glutamine is good for recovery. So to are BCAA's (Glutamine is one but you need more of it). ZMA and tribulas are both good products I take them when not on gear.

Good luck bro and welcome aboard!

As your a rugby player, is your training goals aimed towards your rugby playing?

I ask, because this can have an effect on what kind of excercises would be best advised for you to perform if you are specifically sport training.
