Stop derailing the thread, Harold.
Do I need to worry about protein and shit?
Just eat some chicken/tuna.
Salmon & pastrami are also winners.
Actually, weren't you trying to lose weight? Go easy on the fried chicken mate.
Stick with it boyd.
I had my first chest session since being away and it was tough. Still managed to push up the 40kg Dumbbells for 3 sets but I'm not looking forward to attempting the 100kg press I had gotten used to.
Lean meat, @Boydy. And/or get protein shake.
I don't hurt after being in the gym yesterday. Does that mean I'm getting used to it? (It's only been a week, like). I assumed it'd always hurt a bit the day after.
Muscle aches usually kick in the day after tomorrow for me.
Are you doing a specific programme, boyd?
Likewise. I'm on a 3 day split at the moment.
What are your goals?
You miserably tight cunt.
What's wrong with that? I'm not going to keep paying him for every session now I know what I'm doing. I don't need a cheerleader.
Maybe but I can't afford one anyway.
And that guy owns the gym so he's still getting my money anyway.

Not sure I really 'train hard' but it's his program I'm doing. But there's no way I get anywhere near that much protein. I was trying to add up a typical-ish day yesterday and I'm not sure it even reached 100g.How Much Protein Do You Need? The United States RDA is 0.8g/kg or 0.4g/lbs. This is 80g protein per day if you weigh 200lbs. But this recommendation is based on studies done on average, sedentary people. The minimum if you train hard is 1g protein per pound of body-weight per day. That’s 200g daily protein if you weigh 200lbs. You’ll reach this amount easily by eating a whole protein source with each meal.
Do I need to become a protein shake wanker?
You do. Go for the most basic whey on MyProtein/Bulk Powders (avoid the unflavoured stuff like the plague), since it's basically all the same shit unless you want to pay five times as much for AMINO ACIDS and ENZYMES that make no difference to anybody except Olympic athletes.
What's 'whey isolate'?
Do they all taste horrible?
I have the unflavoured stuff, it tastes fines. It's a fucking shake you down in one, who gives a toss what it tastes like?
I have this: http://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutr...ation=10957800
Protein shakes always blow me up. If you're struggling to get down the calories then by all means, but hitting 1g of protein per lb can be done with the right diet.

Yeah, I bet you fucking love it, Magic.But beware, taken on its own, the unflavoured powder tastes like flour and soot and looks likes watered-down man milk.
Ordered some of the natural strawberry flavour and one of those little bottles with the balls in it.
Anyone want to recommend some dumbbells / weights for me? I don't intend to do anything serious, but I'd like to build up a bit of muscle in my arms and generally tone up a bit. I have no idea what weight or anything to go for. Is it better to get ones that I find really heavy or ones that I'm a bit more comfortable lifting? Cheaper the better, but obviously not so cheap that they're rubbish. Amazon links would be nice.
I drink protein shakes with milk, not water, and they taste totally fine. Theres no real downside to adding a couple glasses of milk to that
Go for the heavier, definitely. If you buy easily manageable ones you'll outgrow them in a week and they'll be totally pointless. Best bet is gym membership though, lets you feel social about working out and also cuties everywhere
I've been sticking by Olympic nutrition gold standard whey (strawberry) for a few years now.
Tastes great mixed with water. Mixing with water is convenient as you can just take it with you, mixing with milk takes more planning. It'll also be more expensive in the Long run if you drink them regularly.
Your gym doesn't have milk fountains?
I use (infrequently) whey protein gold standard.
Had a mega 30 minute cycle on the bike last night on interval. Finished it off with a KFC bucket. I felt like Dave.
Ha was going to post the same in the other thread
I also drink milk with cereal and I dip cookies in it. It's awesome but we're all lactose intolerant and shouldn't be drinking it
This Asian bird currently donning my gym all ends up is the absolute pinnacle. I've never seen a body so tight and on point.
Told my dad I'd ordered some protein shake stuff and he reacted like I'd said I was going to start injecting steroids.
I finally understand why gyms always have their music so loud - I farted this morning doing a deadlift.
Your dad is Sammy Wilson, so I don't blame him.
That's how I imagine him from all your posts about his reactions to things down the years.
Oh right, the post about the protein. Yeah.
He's not as bigoted as Sammy Wilson, thankfully.
This stuff tastes surprisingly okay.
I tried the protein shake with just water. It's nowhere near as nice as milk (which I actually quite like) but it's not awful either. I can drink it. And I don't really need the extra calories in the milk.
Made a gym friend this morning. Well, some guy spoke to me after we were both finished around the same time and gave me some advice on my squat form (my feet were pointing out to the sides). He seemed nice enough and wasn't being a patronising dick or anything.
