G'day fellas,
Surely there's a few of my fellow health freaks on here.
Footy season is just around the corner so, I'm currently bulking and have gained about 2kg's of pure muscle over the past 3 weeks, I'm expecting the gains to slow in the near future though. I've been aiming for 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and have been undergoing a diet rich in protein and complex carbs. I've been attending the gym between 4-5 days a week on a 2 day split program and playing basketball on my off days for a anywhere between 40 minutes to 2 hours.
I'm hoping to be around the 78kg - 80kg (6'0) mark by the time footy season rolls around (currently 74kg). Wishful thinking but I'm pretty damn determined so we'll see how I go haha.
What are your goals?
Also feel free to ask questions about anything, I feel I have quite a good base of knowledge regarding nutrition and training for a range of goals/needs.
yup amen brother...
Your body needs a rest to repair, remember every time you work out you are tearing muscle and by it repairing thats where you get growth from. Also it effects your immune system and you will get sick more often which puts you out of action and it snowballs.
any 1 now a good diet or weights program
tryin to bulk up for season
i got gym at home
pull up bar dips bench press boxing gear dumbells 2 long bars and heaps of weights
whats up man? nice work with your program, id stick with it for a while and see how your gains go, 2kg of muscle in 3 weeks is an awesome gain, train hard and make sure you get enough rest.G'day fellas,

Do you guys have 1 set routine or a split routine? Also super setting or not?
Haha yeah I'm aware of the rest days and their importance but its school holidays and if I'm not out and about having a bodyboard at scabbs or playing 3 on 3 at claisebrooke I get bored haha. I figure I have about 3 months to put the size on and all the basketball so far has been pretty low key with quite a few breaks in between. I've been eating extremely well and consuming well over a gram/pound of protein for the past month and half so hopefully thats accelerating the recovery. I plan on taking almost 2 weeks of complete rest prior to commencing pre season training and hopefully that will be adequate time for my body to be at its best for the next 8 months of tortureA freindly word of advice - take it or leave it
Rest days are extremely important if you are doing a bodybuilding program.
Your rest days are your body's oportunity to heal (grow).
I think you should reconsider playing sports on your rest days. You would more than likely see improvements in your (gym) results if you had rest days that were just that (resting!).
You would also be less likely to pick up injuries that come as a result of exercising stiff/sore muscles.
