get more weight, im too busy atm to give a full reply but someone will. Get about 100kg of iron, tri-bar, EZ bar, straight bar (solid core) and a bench. Thats a bare minimum if you want size. Trust me, if i bought that lot to start with i'd have saved a fortune, £150 from argos give or take

Cheers in advance,

My weights are just the standard cast iron York set. So it should be easy to add weight as and when I need it.

In terms of bars, not sure what a Tri-bar and EZ bar are?

It does look rather too much like an Escher picture to be of any use in the gym. :confused:

the comedy is lost on some people!
i googled tri bar and that was the result (well, there was a few other random images if similar type, but thought that was the best!)

Well the only place I'd ever heard of tri-bars was on bikes for triathlons and figured that probably wasn't what was meant. But I was more or less right, that image is in the same impossible vein as Ascending and Descending.

Would dips or similar not be good for tricep development?

Thats a tri-bar. Great for bicep curls if you get bad fore-arm 'splints' like me , of course generally designed for skull crushers, but great for lots of things.

Want Newbie weights advice?

assign 3 days per week to training. Never miss a day and eat 300+ grams of protein per day. 1 year later you will be bigger than anyone you know (who doesn't follow this regime)

Guaranteed.

oooh contraversial

isnt 300g + a bit extreme for beginners

Bakedgoods · 8 Aug 2007 at 15:21

It is indeedy.

I don't need anywhere near 300g. Depends entirely on the individual.

Ultra_Extreme · 8 Aug 2007 at 17:14

i was giving a general gist, most advice says that for heavy training with the priority on bulking 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight spread throughout the day will give optimal results. I weigh 210lbs so between 3-400 is my daily goal.

If you want to get massive you got to eat massive.

true, but eating that much wouldnt you tend to put on a lot more fat than you can build muscle?

thats a hammer curl bar in my book. which can also be used for doing tri work

Bennah · 8 Aug 2007 at 22:54

Great thread here, its very intresting to read all the comments, story's and info about working out.

These days, I feel like Im puttin on a few pounds here and there in the wrong places so I guess its time to get working out at home. Once I get space in my room, I shall be investing in some equipment. Wont be that long now.

Dont worry, I'l be asking advice from you work out guru's how to build up my upper body.

Atm, you can see muscle, but theres nothing to me, need to put on some meat as the rents keep on saying
