CureYourBody.com is excited to announce the launch of
its new forums. The next several months will be critical to setting up the
forums the way you want them to be. So
if you feel we should add more categories or sub forums, please let us know.
We'll add sub forums on our own as well, if we feel a
large number of posts are being made on a specific topic. For example, "Colon Cleansing" was added as a sub forum to the Gastroenterology forum since there seems
to be a lot of posts for that specific subject.
Can you guys list some easy ways a "regular" person can go about building muscle?
hey transclubboi,
1. Regular means?
2. Current methods of building muscle (what types of exercises do you currently employ)
3. What does your current diet look like (typical day?)
The "normal" or "regular" person truly needs to be defined the way they are used here.
Does this mean those who do not use alternative agents (i.e. - Anabolic Androgenic Steroids) or some other dubious notion?
First each person is different, so to apply a general time-frame that will work for everyone is highly unlikely. I can say that 45-minutes marks a point in training when cortisol (stress hormone) is at its peak and alternative hormones are at there trough (i.e. - insulin), HOWEVER keep in mind that body composition is mostly about balance rather than complete abandonment of either one.
Protein and nutrient-timing are just as important as nutrient amounts. In other words, 1 gram per pound of bodyweight can be fine, however, if that entire lot of protein is eaten all at one sitting (obviously I am making this nonsensical statement for illustrative purposes), then that will result in a good proportion of fat.
Morale of the story: This is a much more complex topic than is being let on here.
Eat tons of protein! Alternatively you can also take creatine supplements to help you lift more weight which will help you build muscle quickly.Trust me, creatine supplementation is the gold standard for building muscles!
I've been using it for 4 years now and am a huge fan!

While I think protein is certainly essential here (as well as for the avoidance of various protein malnutrition states); this is by far not the end-all answer the original poster needs.
The truth be told - diet and exercise will be far more imperative to get correct rather than ANY supplement. Supplements may very well aide your plight, but they are not THE answer.
I am not a big guy by any means so I guess I would consider myself normal. A high protein diet is a good start but you do want to do a variety of exercises at least 3 times a week and no longer than your body can handle. Also you want to maintain a healthy eating style. Building muscles is not an easy task and should be done so slowly and carefully. If you do choose to eat a high protein diet, make sure that you are also getting other nutrients that your body needs as well.

Dr.Houser, I believe that most people would say that somebody that uses steroids is not your normal or regular person. I dont personally know anybody who uses steroids and I know a lot of people that work out. Im curious why you would mention this. Are you find that more and more people have access to and are using steroids these days?
First off, don't start with 'sit-ups', start with normal crunches for a few reasons... 1) better for your back 2) you are only going to a 45 degree angle instead of a 90 degree angle 3) it is a great core exercise. Not sure what type of weights you are planning on buying to do upper body strength, but so long as you get in a few different exercises to work your arms (both biceps and triceps), shoulders, some chest, and your back you should be good for a little while. You do not want to just jump in and expect great results right off the back, it will take time. Also, for your legs, running/jogging is a great start. Definetly if you have any hills in your area or a treadmill so that you can set the incline. Also another great leg work out that you can do with dumbbells would be lunges or squats. I added a website link that can allow you to check out different exercises for different body parts
