Don't let something as trivial as popstars define your sexuality or masculinity.

I don't really care about anyone's sexuality. You will get the same treat from me whether you are bi straight or homo. I have never found a straight man that likes a female act so much to even stan for her, that's it. But anything could happen.

Sexuality is so trivial in the internet though.

Speaking of body types, which one are you guys?

I'm somewhere inbetween an ectomorph and a mesomorph.
Like my dad, I'll probably be a lot buffer as I age.

I'm a mesomorph. I workout 5 days a week and dedicate each day to a certain body part.

• Monday - Chest
• Tuesday - Back
• Wednesday - Legs
• Thursday - Shoulders
• Friday - Arms

After I work my abs, then I do some cardio. A minute each of:

• Jump roping
• Knee Highs
• Butt Kicks
• Jumping Jacks
• Burpees

Then 10 minutes on the treadmill. As soon I leave the gym, I drink a protein shake of whey protein with creatine. I also try to consume a meal high in protein right after my workout.

Please change the thread title to "Men's Health". It's so much better.


Anyway, i work out 5 times a week (weekdays) for about 1 and a half hours per day. Basically from around 6.00 to 7.30am.First 20 mins is strictly cardio (either the stairmaster, treadmill or cross trainer depending on how i'm feeling), then the remaining 1hr10 is weights.
I alternate between 2 different sets of workouts, so the muscles get to recover for a day before getting worked.
I've been doing this for almost 2 years now. I don't use protein shakes though :-/
Bc my body reacts really quickly to workouts so i feel like i don't need them. Plus proper diets >>

I'm thinking i'll try them for a month though and see if there'll be a massive difference, though. Any advantages?

Have you seen healthy gains without them?

Yeah, as i said i've been doing it for over 2 years + i'm pretty much where i want to be body-wise, so i don't see the point.
But i'll try them for a month and see what the hype's about.

I've been using protein since I started working out, which about a year ago. I always took it because my goal was to gain muscle and every men's health magazine or website seemed to recommend it. I've gained muscle, so I guess it works. I just ran out of protein the other day and was thinking of actually doing an experiment and seeing how my body reacts without it for a while.

I've never really been the exercising type, but lately I've started doing a workout program which is just push ups, sit ups, squats, and 15 minutes of ab exercises + some sort of cardio workout afterwards, for 4 times a week. It's not much but I guess it's a start. But I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for what I should do on the other 3 days of the week?

[doodledot13]

I want to get a bigger biceps but I don't have dumbells or place to do pull ups. Any tips?

Lol yeah. I haven't lifted since finals week in early May and I've lost like 20 pounds. I feel tiny as ****, and I even had to go up a belt loop because my pants are slightly too big now.

I guess all you can really do is bust your ass in the gym and gain it back.
I would tell you to take steroids, but no one wants small balls plus whenever you go off of them you lose everything.

my lift didnt decrease though. I could still lift as heavy. I tried steroids before it didnt do ****. but they were very mild though, my trainer endorsed it to me. I stopped after 10 vials cause it wasnt working LOL

Lol that happens to me too. I literally have to stay lifting and eating cause I lose strength VERY fast, I'm a super ectomorph. I lost like 35-40 pounds off my bench in one month once. My upper body is weak as hell though anyways. Leg day>>>

It's been 8 months since I finally started to exercise regularly every week(and change my diet). I have to admit, I was quite chubby 8 months ago , but after the exercises I gradually lost the excess weight. I now weigh ~25 lbs less than my weight was before. It's quite a hassle because I almost have all new clothes due to all of my old ones being to loose for me to wear. But now I'm close to being underweight , I've been trying since 2 months ago to gain some weight back(eating unhealthy, less exercise etc.) but all that happened is I lost even more weight . Any tips for me to resolve this? I'm finding it really hard now to gain weight.

[VampireGrin]

I feel you ectomorphs out there. I've been sick for 3 weeks and haven't been able to work out/eat as much and I've lost 7 pounds. So annoying

Eat gainer shakes or even just peanut butter. Works like a charm.

I thank god that I'm probably still developing and will end up on the more mesomorphic side of things because of how difficult it must be for you guys.




Javing eat more. That's really all you can do, or start to lift weights.

[Whatevaaaaa]

Do any of you guys have transformation stories?
I've just gotten tired of being skinny and wanted to bulk up.
