Yeaaaaaaaaa all aboard the gains trains!

So basically, just post how much you bench, squat, curl, what protein you take, creatine or whateva hateva related to gains.

So I'll start. I started lifting seriously, I go about every other day, around November of last year (2014). I have lifted before but it was mostly machine stuff, and every other weekend, nothing too serious. I take creatine every night. Drink powdered protein shakes after working out at the gym, boxing or swim practice. I try to maintain a good diet with enough in-take. I used to eat every 3 hours, maybe a little protein bar, banana, or premade shake between meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but I have slacked off with the between-meal foods.

I haven't lifted in like 4 yrs. Back in high school I could press 135lbs, squat 220lbs, and curl 130lbs, which for a spindly-ass white guy surprised a lot of people. I never took protein supplements since they cost money and I was still improving without them.

We're maxing now in my high school football team.
I weigh 185, bench 245, squat 315, and power clean 235. Run a 4.99 40 yard dash.
Don't take anything, but my coach wants me to. That's all after about 2 years of serious lifting/plyometrics.

Wait. My earlier post is a lie. I can't do a single pushup with a broken wrist.
How'd you break your wrist?
I know how that is. Masterbation can be a dangerous thing sometimes.
True that.

That's not bad actually. Are you varsity or JV?

Varsity, going into my senior year. TBH, my school's team has sucked pretty much since it opened, but the activity is nice on its own.

yea, you should keep the squats light for a while to be not damage it. How long ago did you replace your ACL?

Few years. after 6 mos of rehab, it took a long time to get back to where I was before. I crept up to 215 recently, but didn't want to chance it any further.

I dont like supplements and other "muscle boosters". It doesnt feel fair, and I feel that I should be able to do something on my own without the aid of some powder. I dont like to be dependent on anything. I can do 75+ curl ups and 25 push ups, 40 when I actually practiced

Well the good thing about creatine and whey protein is that it helps recover the muscles after a workout and basically help the muscles repair stronger and quicker than normal. When you workout with weights, your essentially just breaking down your muscles so that they repair stronger.

I do agree with you on the idea of some other supplements out there that are being sold in nutrition stores that are just unnecessary. I try to stay away from a pre-workout since I don't see much that comes out of it. I just get pumped on my own.
