6'1" but he is all streched out...long muscle bellies so 178 looks more like 150lbs

BUMP

I got an ectomorph friend like all ectos is trying to add mass. I got him drinking an dextrose shake after every workout. He has asked me if drinking dextrose through out the day instead of the more common maltodextrin mix would benefit him. I never really thought about how much glycogen an ecto...

Good job on add flax and/or fish oils as well as fiber to your diet. That will slow the gastric emptying. Pre-work: I take 1tbsp of flax and some fiber with my morning shake Post-workout: I down dextrose shake.... 30 min later I down a whey protein shake (chocolate whey & water only). NO FAT...

I agree with trying 50g then add/reduce the amount. I know guys who down 80-100g....I stay w/ 50g. It's just enough to get the spike I need but not overspill and get fat

Without knowing your diet it's hard to say. Here's some basic info: Decrease refined sugars and carbohydrates in the diet. Eat fatty fish...salmon, trout...or supp in some EFA & Omega3 fats. Here's a link for more info...

Fruit = no (too much fructose / sucrose to get cut) GREEN veggies = yes...great fiber source (spinach, turnip greens, etc.) YELLOW veggies = maybe (no if your on a contest diet). Too much sugar in them. Hot Peppers = another maybe.... I use them up to the last two weeks of a show. They are...

Go to O'Charleys! Get the Black & Blue sirloin steak salad...minus the blue cheese and you oil & vinegar for your dressing. Great salad...a must for low carb dieters! Tell your date that you're a BB when going on a date and what you have to do to get ready for the show. Hell I went to a lot of...

1)Increase your calorie intake! Sounds like you're burn what you take or worse...your burning more than you take in! Supp in some MRPs and eat eat eat! 2)Cut your training down to 3 days a week. Follow more of a powerlifting type workout (squats, d-lifts, bench). 3)Do no cardio. Don't run...

Cottage cheese is okay to eat while you are cutting. I suggest eating it at night w/o carbs. It's a good source of protein.

Cottage cheese is a very slow absorbing protein. This is not the type of protein that you want to take in post workout. You want an extremely high absorbing protein (whey) after spiking your insulin (dextrose) post workout. Cottage cheese is best for a meal right before going to bed. I suggest...

I’m a natural bodybuilder so I lack any ‘real’ knowledge on the anabolic side. I suggest going to the Anabolic board. Those guys are about anabolics. Goodluck

Your correct that more muscle burns more fat. But a lot of people don't gain a lot of muscle when they bulk up unless they have some anabolic help. I know guys that have put on 30-50lbs in the off-season but cut down to the same weight class for a show. I'd rather gain 10-20lbs and stay lean...

Eat a spoon full of nat. peanut butter Freeze some crystal light then shave it when you get a sweet tooth I try to stay away from the sugar free puddings or jello but they should help you out...put a spoon ful of guar gum powder in it too. This will make sure that the 'sugar free' (ha ha)...
