BF2S Forums Bulking Up (Weight Lifting)

Ok, many reps. From 8-12. Heavy wheights and few reps just work out your mucles fibres type 2B and makes more of them. They are the hardest to build actually. If you want to be explosively stong and big (not defined), that's the way to go. You want to work out your type 2A fibres, to look defined and clearly see your muscles, right?

Free wheights, many reps, and creatine yes, works out pretty well. If you use creatine, remember to drink a lot of water. Maybe your genetics wont let you have a musculer (spelling?) body. It's easier to increase type 1 fibers. Not so explosive but endurent fibers.

There are many programs. I usually do upper and lower body every other day. Have at least one day rest before you work out the same muscle again. There are no need to use protein shakes or other crap. IF you eat well and balanced, you get all the proteins, fat, carbs, minerals and vitamins you need. Both essential and non-essential vitamins. Of course, if you don't... then it's not a bad idea.

Remember, if you want to look defined, you need to reduce your body fat. Since you said you are thin, then that's probably not a problem right now. The first place fat is stored and last place fat is burned, is from your stomach area.

If your like me you cant. I eat 2.5kg of meat a week, 2kg of carbs, a very large amount of vegetables and fruit, and im still pretty damn thin, all my working out it is doing is making me more toned and not actually adding mass.

I just have a stupidly fast metabolism which i suspect you may too.

Only upper-body???

Hahaha, I love it when you see these guys walking around thinking they're all buff and they're supported by two little twigs.

As for the gaining weight issue, maybe that's just the way your body is? Some people can gain weight easily up to a point, then they just stop.

Wow haha can't believe I didn't notice that too, your body grows naturally in proportion do your legs and everything else will grow faster too.

Heavy weights/Low reps lots of carbs and for the love of god work out your Legs.. It sounds like you're working out too much which will make your muscles means and stringy not big.. Cut your working out time down to 3 times a day about 30 mins a day with the most weight you can do with out straining yourself..

You should be able to put weight on..

you require moar food. I started working out a lot too, and I've gotten a lot stronger but I've only recently started getting bigger. Because up until around halfway thorough I was only eating maintenance calories (about 2400 a day). Now it's at around 3000 a day and my muscles are getting bigger

This is my split

Monday: Chest and triceps
Wednesday: Biceps and back
Friday: Legs and shoulders

Abs every workout.

@liquix I thought steroids were illegal?
