Help

[rickkain]

Alright here is my problem. I have been on whey protien and creatine pills for about 2 months now. I weighed 152 at the beggining and now I am weighing 170. I have seen improvment in my calfs and thighs but not much in my arms. I am also a 16 year old type 1 diabetic so im not sure if this has anything to do with it. I am also not dieting so im not sure if this might be the problem also. I want HUGE arms. I only life at school with is 4 days a week and we use the Bigger Fast Stronger (BFS) program. Any help would be appriciated.


Thanks!, Rick

well if youre seeing gains its a start if nothing else. could it be that youre mentally telling

yourself your arms arent big enough to fit your goals? try measuring things and writing

them down as a good starter.

I probably am because I always want to be the best I can be. My arms right now are 5 inches.

well if you say you want to be the best you can be you need to go on a nice bulking

diet. im saying this because in your first post you said youre not currently on one.

im sure if you search and look around, you can find a diabetic-friendly one.

haha, dont we all? i hope that bit about your arms being 5" is a typo, if not, sheesh, thats just unhealthy


so, youre not on a diet and want to get big?? you need to go to the diet section, and look around, that will solve all of your problems. nutrition is where its at.

Hey rick. I would say try measuring everything and keeping logs. For you personally to see that your growing is very hard, but for someone else to see it that doesnt see you everyday, is much easier. Also the numbers in that log dont lie my man. You are at the prime of growing at 16, and you should eat what you can. Like ionic said, check out the diet section, there you can find many many diets along with people who share your same goals.

What could I use for a log book? Just like a notebook? Also what do I write down? The reps and sets I do everyday or what?

Yeah, you can use anything. a big notebook, a notepad, anything to help keep you organized. some people just write down the exercises, sets, reps, and weight. others do all that, and also write down everything they eat during the day.

I'd say start out keeping a log of your workouts (weights/reps/sets/exercises). hit the gym each week and try to beat your last workout in either reps or weight. if you are having a hard time beating your logbook, then it means its time to increase your food intake. at that point, add another meal in the day, or add extra food to each meal.

search the threads here in the diet section. you'll find a lot of info on good ways to bulk on mass.

I want HUGE arms. I only life at school with is 4 days a week

HUGE arms......they will come from years and years of training, eating, drinking tons of water and sleeping

As for the workout it seems good...4 times is enough...you dont wanna be doing any more, especially at your age...in fact, if i were you i would drop to 3 days.

Its this simple: Calories are like little weights. If, at the end of the day, you you burn(give away) more then you take in (add), you get Lighter. and vise versa. So, maybe the amount of calories you were eating were good for gains now, but now that you weigh more, you need to eat more.
