where are you getting your cost from?
Frozen chicken breast, frozen veggies, fruit and what not does not cost that much. I am a college student and eating healthy IS NOT expensive. And you don't have to be a chef too.

Well even if I was buying healthy food to make myself for the required calories I need, I would still need some kind of protein shake to gain those calories..I'm 6'1 205 so for me to be able to put on the muscle I'm trying to, I would need something in addition to eating meals

Think about it for a second. You're looking for something convenient, cheap, and preferably liquid for extra protein and nutrients. Sounds a lot like milk to me.

I'll be honest..My knowledge of what to do when trying to gain muscle is very little so I'm going off of things I've previously heard, which may not be very accurate...So basically what you're saying is as long as I eat 4-5 meals a day and drink milk for protein/extra calories I will gain the muscle w/o the need for protein shakes/supplements, etc?

i dont even feel it to be honest. i was taking 4 doses a day at the end so 800 mg caffeine/100mg ephedrine....i could take a nap on that no problem.Originally Posted by UPT88
i've heard of taking the second and third doses without the caffeine because it would be too much for your body to handle, so just the E the second and third doses
i find on days i take a second dose after workout with out the caffeine i find myself staying up later at night.
dude how do you sleep taking 600 mg of caffeine day??????
same with other stims like adderall and whatever else....i need high doses
im gonna get back on ec + keto diet, started keto yesterday. gonna be in spain and south of france for august, gotta look right

ON Gold Standard Whey if you want to use a protein, and they have a casein too if you wanna take that.
A protein rich, healthy diet is obviously ideal, but lets be serious, it isnt the most convenient to have a good, healthy meal everytime. And it does get expensive.

No doubt, I appreciate the info. I'm new to this so don't get offended by my ignorance if I make a comment that seems inaccurate. I just live in an area filled with juice heads and I see them always buying protein mixes and whatnot so I figured it was the way to go if I wanted to gain muscle.
Side question..I'm gonna have a new job starting September and the hours will be extremely long (assistant manager at a store so I'm basically gonna be there almost all day) so I will only be able to work out on the weekends...My goal is to work out hard the next few weeks (about 4-5 times a week) so I can get in pretty good shape before it's time to work..I'm already a fit guy because I play a lot of sports on a consistent basis so how much of an impact will I notice by September? Minor/Major?
I wouldn't expect anything major in 2 months. With a solid routine, a good diet and plenty of rest you can definitely make some gains though. Being a newbie you'll make newbie gains pretty quick. I'd say 10 lbs is doable. As far as only working out on the weekends I don't think that's gonna be very good. I'd shoot for 3 non consecutive days a week at the least.

i'm sure you can fit 3 work outs for about a hour each a week even with the working

yo so the one side of my chest is a little larger than the other. Whats the best way to even this out? I usually lift three times a week so would it be a good idea to keep benching monday and then do dumbbell flys on wednesday, friday or is there a better solution?

Ive been reading up on rest and recovery topics lately, question is what is the ideal amount of rest time?
Right now im on working out a body part (back/bi ex.) once a week, so 6 days of rest. Ive been reading that its "best" to workout right when the recovery phase is finished, which is 2-3 days. Im thinking of cutting it down to 4 rest days, to kinda be inbetween, so I dont have issues with overtraining. How many days is best? Sometimes after 3 days, my back or shoulders for example still dont feel 100%, but sometimes I think its mental.
Also, ive been reading workouts should be about 45 min - 1 hour max? Testosterone levels go down and something else goes up (forget the name) which isnt beneficial. My workouts usually end after an hour and a half, partly due to waiting for machines, rest time inbetween sets not being consistent, etc. Is it really that important for your workout to be under an hour?

Everybodys different and responds well to different things. Some do well taking a week off before hitting that muscle again. I myself like hitting things a little more often. If you do hit them more often you would wanna use less volume. You could do an A B split m-w-f alternating between the 2. A couple good routines using this kind of split are doggcrapp training and boss hog workout. I've been doing boss hog for last 4 weeks and strength and size have gone up crazy fast.

I've read on here and some other sites about guys being resistant to doing cardio to prevent muscle loss. I've been a bit confused about this, and what kind of cardio to do if i am doing it... either a HIIT or low intensity. Then i came across this vid, and the guy explains how cardio won't lead to muscle loss:
What do you guys think about it?
