Yes, I don't have one
And Leo is truly an inspiration to us all. His video, "Leg Training Masters Volume Four, Enter the Leg Master" has brought my leg training to a completely different level. And although his legs are not the thickest, his incredibly lean knee caps are still the leanest in the business.

Terrible logic. Powerlifters may not devote entire workouts to arms, but neither should bodybuilders. Are you forgetting the fact that they do shit heavy BENCHES (triceps) and ROWS (biceps)? That benches are one of the three lifts? That many have 2 days of the week devoted to benching? Including lots of heavy close grip pressing, JM pressing, rope pushdowns etc. etc.? Don't forget bicep accessory work, along WITH the heavy compound rowing and pulling movements.
Oh yeah, don't forget incredible devotion to their sport enforced with big-eating. But, somehow, through all this, you think that the only difference is that they SQUAT?! LOL.
If anything, this evidence should show a bodybuilder that you don't NEED a day devoted to arms or even lots of direct isolation to build big arms.

we're trying to make the same point i think!!Is it a bad move to be scared of eating certain things in this period? I mean my goal is to gain the weight first right? So basically I want to know if I can eat anything and everything I see and not worrying about it being "junk" foods. Like Pizza, Custard Pie, etc. Because sometimes my house has no food other then this that bodybuilders stay away from. But if I don't eat this then theres pretty much nothing that I would eat and just starve.
Another thing I am wondering is... Is it bad to work out your entire upper body in one day? I was just thinking this because I was working out yesterday and I did biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, deltoids.
I just want to get this straight... In order to get big muscle mass or just be thick in general.. You have to get fat right first then you cut down by doing cardio and all of that is this correct?
I will be 19 later this year, I just want to look my age because a lot of people think I'm like 13 or whatever because of my body size... Although a lot of people tell me that I have the height and I just need to follow through with everything. The fact of the matter is that I've been lifting weights every year since my Freshmen year in High School and I never did see results other then my bench press increasing and getting a little cut.
PS: Does anybody know how some people who are buff and built can drink every day and still be fit? Also I know some people who say they just lift weights and they don't even have a diet/excersize routine and they are big.

This is where you flash a neon sign above yourself that screams BEGINNER!!!! Once you do dedicate yourself to being a large individual and you do see gains and progress, you'll soon see that people who you once thought were big, built, ripped, and strong are really laughable. At 265lbs with a 36" waist, if i saw these guys who drink daily and look 'big' or the ones who don't workout, but say they do, and 'still look big', I bet you I would think they all look like squids. It is all perception, and at 140 fucking lbs you're gonna think EVERYONE looks big. It is like when you're 3 years old, you think you're mom is jacked, lol....it is the same thing.
For a little motivation, the first time I walked into a weightroom was when I was 13. It was the high school weightroom and I remember seeing a kid benching with 135 for a couple hardfought reps, thats a 45lb plate on each end of the bar, and I remember being awestruck and thinking this fucking guy was diesel. By the time I was a senior I was flat benching 365 for singles, and over the last few years I've done as much as 435. The last time I was screwing around after flat bench, I did 63 reps with 135 and stopped because I got bored. So, you get the point. Now if I saw some guy fighting for a few reps with 135, I would think he has a long way to go. My point is that it is gonna be frustrating seeing all these people who seemingly don't devote themselves to working out when you think they are buff, but when you DO start making progress, you'll see them for how me or anybody else serious about training sees them, and that is a twerp.
On to your diet question. It is all relavtive to your goals. You don't necessarily have to get "fat". You DO have to feed your body enough to not only fuel hard workouts, but to foster growth. At a young age with a fast metabolism it is a waste of time to nitpick over every little thing you put in your mouth. I am assuming you're an average, healthy kid with no medical conditions that would restrict your diet. Take advantage of your naturally high hormone levels at this age and your high metabolism. If you follow the eat everything in sight approach your dinner should NOT be custard pie, but if you eat a dinner with plenty of protein, carbs, and good fats, you can have plenty of custard pie for dessert. Also, if you have a part-time job or anything, buy your own groceries. Save the money most people your age blow on booze, cigarettes, and other shit and buy food.
On a side note, you need to realize that when a bodybuilder, a powerlifter,a strength athlete, or any athlete in general calls themselves fat, they mean "fat for them" or 'fatter than they wanna be or should be or have been'. they don't mean fat compared to the average American slob. I am 265lbs at 5'11", I have a 36' waist, and I don't have a 6 pack (nor do I want one), I am not ripped, and I always joke around and refer to myself as fat. I have been called 'ripped' by the average person more times than I can count. So, do you see what I mean when I tell you people on this board are gonna tell you to eat everything and get fat that they don't literally mean "fat" like most average people. lol.
The post is lengthy, but I hope I helped you. this is all stuff you learn along the road, but I hope I enlightened you, lol....

Bro, for the next month, put down the video game controller, take a break from the partying, and READ everything you can about lifting. I am far from a pro by any means, but the only way to learn is research!!!! You cant get all the awnsers just asking, take your time and research everything you can, the internet is free, so it wont even cost you a thing, just some time.
