Originally posted by SALADINDepends what supplements you are talking about, as a rule of thumb protein intake for muscle growth should be 1.5gs per Lb of lean bodyweight. so if you are 200lbs you need 300grams of protein. (for the serious bodybuilders) some of this protein can come in the form of protein powders, whey, caesien etc etc. It is very hard to eat solid protien foods and hit your intake for the day without the use of supplements.
Guys …….. What do you think about taking supplements?
I have never taken any… but I know people who start taking supplements even before they have done the basic 6 months training…. I find that shocking
🙄
When I started sometime ago, the first thing I did was buy supplements to assist my intake.

Originally posted by SALADINIt's been years since I've done weights, but just to give one opinion more, I very much agree with saladin here. sasq's program is pretty much exactly what you should do (even after 6 months).
Bro..SASQ routine is the best. RMORRIOS is good if you been training for 6 months +
Start with what SASQ says then after 6 months move to RMorris if you like
and pay very much attention on how each exercise should be done technically, otherwise you will hurt your shoulders or something else eventually.
Originally posted by rmackenIf I do an exercise 5 times and then take a break that would be 5 reps and 1 set right?
I think you maybe getting confused with reps and sets.
A rep is one complete movement.
A set is how many you do all together before a rest.
If this is correct then I only do reps. I do as many as I can in one sitting. Then i'm done with that exercise for the day.
Originally posted by sasquatch672That was just an example. I was just clarifying the rep and set thing.
That's incorrect. If you're doing five of something you may as well not do it. Six reps is really the threshold, but that's really not enough unless it's your last set and your muscles are failing - but as I mentioned, going to failure (according to several scientific studies) doesn't help you gain strength and lengthens your recovery time. Proper fo ...[text shortened]... e muscle groups, twelve reps for small groups like shoulders and biceps - that's your key.
Okay so I read you guys ideas. Some question about it now.
Say you group the activities and you have 3 groups. Is it better to do all 3 groups, 1 set of each exercise, in 1 day and then take the next day off and then do it all over again.
Or you do group 1, day 1 do multiple sets and then take 6 days off and then on day 8 you do group 1 again? Because 6 days off seems like a long time.
Originally posted by RahimKI dont understand why people would have a problem with you taking whey protein.
No supplements, creatine or any of that stuff. It's a huge problem trying to get that much protein from ordinary foods.
I don't go money for supplements stuff, they are not acceptable to me, I don't think they are health, people would have a problem with me taking them, so they are definetly out.
here is a little extract for you to read
What is whey protein? Whey protein is a pure, natural, high quality protein from cow's milk. It is a rich source of the essential amino acids needed on a daily basis by the body. In its purest form, as whey protein isolate, it contains little to no fat, lactose or cholesterol.
Whey protein is an excellent protein choice for individuals of all ages. It provides a number of benefits in areas including sports nutrition, weight management, immune support, bone health, and general wellness. New information on the health benefits of whey protein continues to become available as researchers discover new applications for both whey protein and its unique individual protein components.
So as for them not being healthy you are wrong.
