If you not eating excess calories, no amount of heavy weight will bulk you up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifting heavy will burn more calories as using more energy to push weight. lifting light weight is only good for a warm up and that's it. lifting light with little breaks will do fark all as it does not take much energy to move it, even with a 5 sec break in between sets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can't be working that hard if you are wearing track pants and a hoodie...Anywho...picked up some Albutarex last night...first half scoop this morning. Feels like drinking 2 cans of Redbull, then following it up with an espresso. Been going since 7:30am....Hopefully it helps drop some of the excess baggage around my mid section...Tell that to Kai Greene... Rarely takes his hoodie off..I train in track and a jumper most of the time shorts on leg days but not always. Take off the jumper/hoodie when I do my cardio but I like to stay really warm and to be honest I dont find it restricting at all. And yes I go hard...Any up to post progress pics? Im maybe a month off reaching my goal. But extremely happy with how I am progressing.. Edited 30/08/12 07:27 AM by Wingnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bulking you lift REAL heavy, eat more and train only 4 days a week to pack size on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to lift a little more heavy, add some Glutimine for recovery.http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/glutamine-000307.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
