Bulking up on P90x.. K+

no, someone with a weak chest and pair of legs will get stomped by someone who is strong in their chest and legs because they will also inherently have a strong core as a byproduct of them gettting super strong in those other areas.

skinny kids love to tout the importance of a strong core over everything.

 
You're an idiot. Creatine isn't healthy at all.

OP... just hit the gym and stick to whey protein. Try and eat a good amount of food, keep a solid diet and try and get about 15g of protein 6 times throughout the day.

You have to accept your natural weight/body type. Just work out and get strong and healthy. Yes you can bulk up with supplements but its not particularly healthy.

 
Totally man, I say core strength is important because I am self conscious about my body over the internet and want to impress a bunch of 13 year old who don't even have hair on their balls yet.
 
i'm going to again repeast what geteducated just said.

DO NOT listen to this guy ^

creatine is naturally found in meat, it is not unhealthy. do some fucking research. 15g of protein x 6 times a day = 90 grams of protein. that doesn't even come close to matching 1g protein/pound of bodyweight and OP is surely heavier than 90 pounds.

where the fuck are you making up these facts?

I'm not going to even continue, but all I will say is - talk to a legitimate source, not a ski forum. I'd be willing to bet at least 90% of the people replying here don't have a clue and don't even have a fitness lifestyle to begin with. On top of that, I would recommend you always make sure the people you take advice from put their money where their mouth is. Ask them about what their maxes are for the key lifts, and obviously if you want to learn to bulk up - find a big muscular guy and ask him how he did it.

You wouldn't ask a police officer for medical advice would you? ....make sure your source is credible.
 
solid post ^^^

also dont try and lift as much of you can, work on technique.

a good form will allow you to lift more.
 
This thread is retarded with people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Go to bodybuilders.com and find a workout routine for you. You can filter routines based on age, sex, weight, and desired results (in your case, building mass). It will give you a bunch of proven workout routines and will also recommend supplements. You can figure out a basic supplement regiment that will be MORE than good enough for you with an hours worth of research on their site. IT will probably end up being a Whey protein (The one pic stated above is the best in the business IMO), a creatine, and maybe some Omega 3's or a multivitamin.
 
but once again...finishing that rep with more weight wont do as much good as less weight, less reps and better form....

this was the link posted way way back and it is so spot on. greene makes this gorilla look and feel like a fool for jacking too much weight around...

if you can bang out 1 last rep, with less than stellar form(not dangerous form), then yes it is better than doing less weight.

form breakdown on the last rep of a set is acceptable. form breakdown halfway through a set is not acceptable.

and fwiw, BB training employs different methods and philosophies than powerlifting, and sport specific training. BB is purely for aesthetic purposes, nothing else.

 
You can read these novels that people post but the BIGGEST thing stopping you is this:

If you cant motivate yourself to go to the gym on a set routine you are not motivated enough to get big.

1) just start going, you won't enjoy it at first and it will be awkward but just put on beats and remember why you're there.

2) start with a full body work out using the pin/plate machines, do one exercise for each muscle group. Warm up set of light weight then 3 sets of 8 reps of the weight your doing.

3) Mix it up. say you go 3 days a week, do a different back/shoulder/chest etc. exercise everyday.

4) get a small notebook, THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR YOUR WORK OUT. Keeps you on the right track and seeing your progress just motivates you more

5) Only do as much weight as you can get your 8 reps with, start doing to many and your form goes and you will not make any gains. Form, Reps, & Exhaustion over weight. Leave ego at the door

6) Observe. When I started lifting I would just people watch and learn new exercises and ways to work muscles. This is big.

7) Read online about more workouts and different things to do.

Once you have a base and feel comfortable start working out a muscle group per day
