<p>“btw chaostheory - I think your dad confused whey protein with creatine. THAT’s the dangerous stuff…I will never take that stuff, neither does my advanced bodybuilding friend (as in 250 bp/300 squat kid). Whey protein is essentially 2 grams of sugar and ~20 grams of protein. As long as you only take it after workouts ( I assume max 4 times a week) AND NOT ANY OTHER TIME, you won’t get cancer like a lot of these “gym weenies” lol.”</p>
<p>creatine is not dangerous. And your friend is an advanced bodybuilder… yet you mention he benches 250 and squats 300.
<p>boridi, I’m just basing this off of what I have heard exercise science professors saying in regards to younger kids…this is a forum of mainly teenagers you know. Some senior in my school told the kids in the gym locker room that he was ****ing blood and he had just started taking creatine…take that for what it’s worth, he probably overdid it, which is what a lot of kids do. </p>
<p>And you’re saying a 16 year old who wants only to be good at his three favorite sports (I’m the one doing the caring for numbers here rofl) with a 250 bench press is not “advanced” enough (I’m not even talking 1RM here) . Forgive me, I did not know that a 400 bench press by age 13 was needed to be considered “advanced”.</p>
<p>I might have misused the term, he’s just an amateur (as in not a professional) weightlifter. Last time I checked, lifting weights is still “building” your “body”, so technically if you lift weights you are a “bodybuilder”</p>
<p>First off If you’re not sore you’re doing something wrong, why, because your definetly not in shape. So your muscle should be hurting if not you’re not doing enough. I fyou tell me exactly what you’re doing, like number of reps, types of weights, etc I can help you better. And like I’ve said before the treadmill is a waste of time.</p>
<p>I am feeling really sore. I can barely lift my arms. But I was wondering if there is something else I slould be doing-or something I shouldn’t.
I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing- it’s not like a routine or anything; I spend one hour in the gym and do whatever I feel like doing at the time. I life weights (10/12/15 kg) and I use those bikes for like 10 minutes…The tredmill takes up most of the time. Why do you think that the tredmill is a waste of time?- it seems to work for me.</p>
<p>Stuck on 1700, I consider it a waste of time but either way you need the cardio so keep it up.</p>
<p>I would recommend.
Running a mile on the threadmill
Doing a stair climber
Then 15 sets of curls, bench press, dead lifts
Later 600 situps
and 100 pushups
Lastly 100meters full speed on the tradmill.</p>
