I’m 19 years old, 6 foot tall male. I have a skinny frame and I am starting to noticing some fat around my abdominals and other parts of my body. I am an taekwondo instructor and I am not as active as I use to be when I was a student. I am studying 3 different medical degrees, so I don’t have any time to work out or have a proper meal some times, since I spend the majority of the time studying. A lot of my money has gone into my medical degree so I can’t really afford any fancy diet for gaining muscle.

Some weeks I can squeeze in at least 20-40 mins a week of weights session at the university gym. My question is "How do I gain muscle on a budget?” and “What kind of things should I take?

i´m 23 years old 1.8 meters tall man, i have lost 7.5 inches in my waist in the last months now i´m 39 inches, i still have some work to do, and i already built some muscle (for example my arm is 15 inches), now reduce my waist is becoming a more slow process, i still see it but is more slow, my concern is about to add carnitine first time in the morning and before workout (usually at 11am), will carnitine make me loss my last 5-7 inches in my waist but at the same time make me lost some of the muscle i already built? or carnitine will give me energy for intense muscle and cardio workouts and lost my last 5-7 inches and to the same time get bigger muscles?. i hope you got a minute to give me your opinion and sorry if my redaction isn't good, i'm mexican and learning english, greetings!!!

Hello I'm Kyle. 177cm and 54kg. Really skinny but I want to gain some muscle for soccer (goal keeper). I have never done any gym before. I'm looking at muscletech as my supplement and I have nitro isolate 65, premium whey protein and cell tech hardcore. Which one should I take? Which part my muscle should be working on? Is it true that alcohol will kill the muscle? Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for someone with trouble with muscle recovery? I have some unknown muscular issue that causes me to be very weak even when doing small tasks. A few years ago I used to be very active and even was doing p90x but now I can't lift anything very heavy and get very sore when I do even small things like light housework or even wearing shoes that have a chunky heel (it makes my legs very shaky and sore). any suggestions?

WOW! I can't believe how off this information is. 1, 2, and 3 are good. 4 is half wrong, well everything that talks about carbs is wrong. You don't need carbs at all to build muscle. Exercise alone will spike insulin levels enough to build muscle. Eating high quality fats is a must!

The following statements "If you don't eat enough carbs - your body will breakdown and burn muscle for energy causing you to lose muscle and along with water…" AND "You need to eat carbs to stay energized so you can workout longer and lift heavier weights to build bigger muscles because your body uses Carbohydrates for energy and more importantly…" - These statements are completely wrong. There is something called ketosis. After 10 days of ultra low carbs, sub 30 grams per day, your body will start burning fat for energy instead of carbs. After 10 days if you continue to stay ultra low carb without a cheat day or 1 or 2 cheat meals then you will begin to start chewing up muscle similarly seen in intermittent fasting.

And 5. Why tell people to eat meal replacement shakes? You should be making time to eat quality snacks like nuts and little amounts of fruit if you have any concern about building muscle. These items have much better properties for building muscle than any meal replacement shake will give you.

I would say a multi-vitamin should replace number 5. Multi-vitamins are key to staying healthy. You could replace number 3 in the in the not crucial section with fish oil. BCAAs are good along with Creatine if your actually pushing yourself hard enough to need Creatine. BCAAs are usually in a quality protein shake anyway.

Hello,

My name is Rob. I'm 29 years old, 6' tall and weigh 175 pounds, with a little gut. For the most part, I eat healthy and can prep my own meals. For the past six months, my daily food intake looks like this on most days: for breakfast, I blend blueberries, 2% milk, a banana, and fage total 2% yogurt. In between this and lunch, I eat walnuts and a kashi trail mix bar. Lunch can be a wildcard... 3-4x a week,I make my own ham and turkey sandwich with carrots on the side and an activia yogurt, other times I'll eat out. For dinner, 3-4x a week, I'll make grilled chicken w/ spinach leaves and carrots. I only drink water, no soda or juices... and I'll have about 4-5 shots of whiskey every weekend; I don't drink beer.

I do pushups every other day (diamond/wide/shoulder) and regular wide pullups 3x/week. I also curl a 20lb kettle ball I purchased (they aren't cheap!).

Knowing all that, I have two questions...

1) my goal is to get bigger arms, and make my chest look better; maybe even get rid of my little skinny-man gut. Should I buy protein powder? I'm trying to avoid that if I can incorporate actual food but I don't mind it. I've read I should be taking in as much protein as my body weight, 175g. Is that true?

2) Also, I want to avoid using weights. Is it possible to achieve what I want just doing pushups, pullups/chinups, handstands (saw that on the site), dips, planks?

Thank you!

Rob

Greetings,

I am a 46 year old overweight woman and have been working out to improve my health and appearance. I love lifting weights and my desire is to one day appear in a fitness competition. I take L-Carnitine every morning before hitting the gym. After the gym, I drink whey protein with 8 oz of Almond Milk (non-sweet). I try to have protein with every meal. Is there anything else I should be doing to help build muscle?

I'm taking Udo's Oil Omega DHA 369, CLA, and just purchased Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract. I'm 5'4 & 129 lbs. Looking to lose these last 10 lbs. What about adding L Carnitine and Co Q10... is that necessary? Will I see added results by adding these supplements? How much should my protein intake be per day?

I am a 5'9, 166 lbs female. I have slimmed down and toned up everywhere, however I still have a little gut. It's very frustrating. What's the best plan for getting rid of it?

I am 26 years old, weight 70 kg and height 177 cm..i am skinny but too much fat in abdomen. How do i build muscles as well as to get six pack?

November 11, 2012

As others have said, thanks for the helpful info.

I'm 5'9" 147-153lbs and in training to take the EOD PAST test. I was wondering how many calories I should be trying to intake daily based on my weight and that I workout 5-6 days a week, with the outcome being an increase of 20 more pushups/sit ups, and 3 more pull ups. I try to eat as much protein as possible and use either shakes or bars after work outs. My diet revolves around quinoa, (wild/brown/white) rice, pinto beans and chicken breast. I just have a hard time building muscle fast enough. and I'm guessing it because I'm not getting enough calories.
