Supplements

Hey guys,

Started going to the gym a fair bit, doing Chest mondays, back tuesdays, abs wednesday, and bis and tris on thursday. Do Cardio the rest of the weekend.

But been told to see better results I should get some supplement, I had some ages ago but I hated the taste of the stuff. I am more interested in getting some so I ain't in pain 2-3 days later.

Any recommendations to what I need?

I follow the training regime guys here do. Which is;

Monday - Bench Press, Decline, Incline, Flys and crossovers
Tuesday - Can't remeber the name of the exercises, will find out soon
Wednesday - Same,
Thursday - Using the multigym doing biceps then weighted tricep dips, hamer curls then using the donkey ball pull downs, weighted tricep dips (15 and then 15 without weight) Then the multigym doing pyramids.

Friday - Sun rest and cardio.

I also do two forced PT sessions a week, which could be anything really.

To be honest I have proper skinny arms and want to look a bit more well 'manly' if you know what I mean. I know doing cardio doesn't help with body building but that to me is more important than being 'big'.

Any help here would be great. Only been doing the routing 2-3 weeks missing out days sometimes due to work etc as well. But I try to stick to it as much as I can.

Diet - well I eat in the mess, so assortment of foods always try to go for chicken and pasta if its on the menu though.

Weigh about 12.5 - 13 stone about 6ft2.

Is the work out really that bad?

In the RAF, and yeah to me my fitness matters more than bulking up. But I wouldn't mind bulking up a bit.

The problem with most IMF routines is that they are tailored as much for discipline as to keep the heart in its max zone (sometimes regardless of the eyebrow raising techniques used in doing so). Outside of your IMF sessions, although not so much with the RAF you would have other physical activities which should keep your BMR stoked.
Personally, i'd look to do basic compound workouts.....oh and eat more
I know its not so easy in the military as you are regimented to eating at set times and its usually 3-4 meals max.
So, maybe supplements can help here, milk/egg whey protein shakes etc.
As for doms, lol, get used to it matey. Take the paiiiiiiiin .
However, i've always found creatine mono helps with that.

Will have a read at the sticky.

To be honest the forced sessions here, well recently have been quite easy. Our old PTI was a different question though, I miss it

Yeah the meals are a bit of a pain really. Not that I don't eat loads anyway, love food just sometimes the wrong kind!

Don't mind the pain at all, just kills during the next night which can be off putting.

Do bent over rows when we do back, don't do pull ups though. Should start really though.

Am in the RAF! No kidding, our fitness is left up to ourselves. Except from twice a week, but normally don't do pull ups no.
