Only thing nobodys mentioned here is avoiding injury.
I think it is ok to start out with higher reps but not more that 12.
You will be training your form and getting everything used to lifting.
After a month add weight but keep awesom form.
Put it this way if you get sloppy and increase weight really fast with no base then poof you are injured and no more training.
So focus on form as well and add the weight slowly as you can handle it .
Later on youll be able to load it on and still be injury free

no, this isnt the thread i lost unfortunately!

But anyway,

heres what was in my other thread, i've worked out what i need to do in order to get "big" here's what i should be eating per day

3366 calories
280.5g Protein
374g carbs
93.5g fat

Just thinking, to all these tie in together? Or will I need to do each one?

I.e
3366 calories and then 280.5g protein

Can i ask how much you weigh mate?

And how you worked out these figures?

Here is how i did it

85kg in weight.
2.2 pounds in a kg
2.2pounds x 85kg = 187 pounds



18 calories per pound, so 18 x 187 = 3366 calories a day
1.5g protein per pound, so 1.5 x 187 = 280.5g protein a day
2g of carbs per pound, so 2 x 187 = 374g Carbs a day
0.5g fat per pound, so 0.5 x 187 = 93.5g Fat per day

TBH you are not in need of any of this and splitting the calories and grams down to 0.0 whatever of a gram is simply OTT

drop the supplements
drop the misconceptions
eat well, with a balanced diet that you enjoy
enjoy training
do cardio
give it time

Again I am no expert but curling dumbbells every night would arguably result in destroying more muscle tissue rather than growing it. I'd get a preacher curl bar if I were you and do some barbell curls, maybe once a week (few sets of 6-8 reps). The rest of the stuff you can learn about in here (as I am doing). Also don't neglect the tricep. I tend to superset triceps with biceps (tricep curls mixed with preacher curls for example, no rest) which gives a good pump although my arms do need more work. But I assume you don't have access to a curl/pulley machine if you are at home.

Other than that, sort your diet out. Eat more calories (in the right ratios), eat regularly and get enough protein and you should grow.

EIT: just seen the split of food you are trying to eat. 280g protein seems a ridiculous amount to me unless you are pretty heavy. I think that is overkill unless you are on (a steroid) cycle?
