Why have i not lost any weight?
 

Been back in the gym for 8 weeks now after a year off. i have not lost one ounce but i now need to wear a belt. t shirts and shirts are allot slacker so can someone explain what is going on, i do a mixture of cardio and weights.

Muscle weighs more than fat, that's why :thumb:

My arse must be all muscle then. :D

Are your weighing scales stuck? lol :lol1: Thats what i keep telling my self when i gain extra weight! :D

:nono: Muscle is MORE DENSE than fat.

Pound of muscle weighs exactly the same as a pound of fat.

Pint of fat takes up more space than pint of muscle.

OP has replaced xx pounds of fat with xx pounds of muscle but being denser, takes up less room in your birthday suit.

while were on the subject of the gym...Whey Protine..is it any good

Good if you want to add protein to your diet.;)

is it good for muscle gain

1 Weight = weight

2 Volume = volume

A pound (weight) of (less dense) fat takes up more space (volume) than a pound (weight) of (dense) muscle :thumb:

You are of course correct, was in a pre-tea rush.

At least you knew what I meant :D

Once a fat B*stard, always a fat B*stard. :D

It certainly helps maintain enough protein in your diet. If you are training well then that's essential for muscle growth.

Cardio, Eat Less, simple really.

The more you train the more important protein becomes.

Been training hard for a good year now, switched over to a higher protein intake whilst lowering the carbs, i haven't lost much weight but overall bodyshape certainly has changed for the better.

Can I ask what wieghts etc you are doing. Not for me, for my Son

He's just turned 18 and you know the drill. Wants one of these, the illusive 6 pack

He's 6' with a big frame. He cycles to college and back every day, but wants to do some training.

Is he still growing, what is safe, what should be doing.

Not meaning to hijack, just seemed a good thread to ask the question :)

If he wants a six pack he needs to get his body fat right down, prob to under 10% ish.

:hjtwofing cheeky git, a weigh 14 stone but i have lost 3ins on my waist i am down to 33ins waist. :razz:

nat21 is correct, Its all about diet and correct exercise, just tel him to go down to his local gym and ask for advice.

Fudge <--- thinks Hank is on the right lines

Cheers Fudge but as pointed out, I was wrong on the "pint of" bit. Jist of it still stands though!

Cos you're a bloater

true.

Expensive for what it is:

Try this:

BULK WHEY...Whey Protein for less!

6kg for 55 quid - whey isolate

Whilst unflavoured you may want to add a drop of Nesquick to flavour if your not keen on the taste.

A lot of supplements out there to be frank are crap, supplements are just that, supplementation. A good diet is key (says me lol)

But if you want to gain lean muscle then adequate good quality protein is key.

Myprotein have a good rep but the daddy is imo CNP, i know i keep bleating on but Kerry kayes who was/is Ricky Hattons strength and nutrition coach has forgotton more than most people know about.

Check this out this was done over 12 weeks drug free.

Cnp is excellent albeit expensive, i have some pro desert samples on the way, bodytronics is another one to watch, i might buy their midnight express coconut cream or maybe the raspberry ripple once it's released.
