Chal Roarke New Member 9 Member For: 2y 1d Posted 17/04/22 08:29 PM Share Posted 17/04/22 08:29 PM I have been training for about 15+ years and tried a lot (if not all) training programs available out there. What I can say. In my case full body training turned out to be the most effective. In 3 months I managed to gain 10 kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be twice as hard to do the build if I was unfit (which I am) so I may as well put some work in to improve my fitness level. I had already made some good dietary changes for a couple nonths so nows as good a time as any to build on this. Has my first visit to the gym- a 45 min with a personal trainer was included in the deal. I plan to improve cardio more than anything as ive always had good size arms and legs, so wasnt too interested in bulking them up. more just a 'get fitter' type of thing. Funny thing happened. he (I thought) pushed me pretty hard (he said he didnt)- not really any rests between machines, but he said he was observing me to see how fast colour came back to my face lol. all good eh. got out of breath. almost at failure point on weights. At end of session I was leaning on a rail and started to feel a slight bit nauseous. asked how would I know if I pushed too hard. then got dizzy. next thing I knew he was behind me asking if I was 'still with him'. said I blanked out a couple times for 10 secs or so, although I was still standing (leaning). got me to lay down after with elevated legs and I felt ok after 10 mins. Got me to contact Jen to pick me up as I drove there. Weird. 2 hours later I walked back (15 mins) to pick up my car. stupidly didnt have anything to eat prior (I never eat breakfast). trainer (who has a background of medical side of things) said my pupils dilated and it may have been a panic attack. visited my gp and he said no reason he could see it would be an issue for me- but getting blood tests to see if anything to be concerned about- one of my migraine meds is a slight beta-blocker so may have had an influence. Havent been back as flat out getting my place finished ready for sale, but will go back soon and gently, gently. That is great! thoughts?/p> I guess that this trainer is really unprofessional. Words like "how fast colour came back to my face" is something new for me In general based on my experience I can say that much too fast tempo is bad for people who haven't been to the gym in a long time or who are there for the first time.

You can get everything you need from food and you don't have to force feed yourself either. Supplements in general do fark all, training, diet and recovery is what matters. Have a quality multivitamin each day to cover the micros, you'll be far better off doing that than buying protein powder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chal Roarke New Member 9 Member For: 2y 1d Posted 01/05/22 01:40 PM Share Posted 01/05/22 01:40 PM If you need to get about 200+g of protein a day it will be quite difficult to obtain that amount from food. Compare: 1 cocktail contains 30g of protein and 5 eggs also contain equal amount of protein but what will be easier for you to consume: eggs or cocktail? 1 hour ago, bossmang said: wheres everyone getting supps from these days? like protein etc. ?

I go only to iherb to get all the supplements I need. What I like about this marketplace most of all is the guarantee that all the products there are genuine. Because according tio some researches about 70% of sports supplements are fake 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of us, eating food and tracking macros is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
