Writing as someone who was very fit and active in their teens and early twenties, but who got slack and now isn't fit and healthy. I came across your blog while looking around the net at lunch. The reason I was looking is I've decided that after spending most of my twenties being fairly inactive (as well as being 20 kilos overweight), it time to get some fitness and a better body before I go on a europe trip next year. My goal is a little different than most people's, as a praticioner of martial arts I don't need or want bulk. I need muscles that won't get in the way of my flexability or speed. Thus my search for information begins. Although this is compounded by the plethera of material dedicated to bulking up. Often with no consideration to those of us who arn't quite looking for that. One thing that I will recomment to you is a site that was based on the writings of Mike Mentzer, a body builder from the 70's who came up with a weight lifting system called Heavy Duty. The address is: [link]http://www.mikementzer.com/[\link] In the articles has a lot of entries from doctors involved with weightlifting/sports which makes for some very interesting reading. I haven't purchased any of the Heave Duty material as I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for, however I probably will for the information how you need to eat to enable the body to build muscle. I was on a controlled eating plan and went from 100kgs to 90kg, but I think I lost some muscle as well as fat becaues I got a muscle strain in my hip (an area that I've never had any problem before), which my oesteopath thought might be due to muscle loss. So out went that plan, and am now looking for something to replace it. - Hayden. Hi Cheng.

I just finished reading what's been on your blog thus far. If you need any help with Italian food, let me know. I'm not Italian but I'm a whiz in the kitchen. (I'm pretty good with Asian food too, but very, very limited. I'm learning though). What's your take on this: I don't like lifting heavy. I don't feel I have enough control. I lift moderate but really make sure I strain the muscle with paused reps and slow controlled reps. There's so much out there on "Lifting heavy" I'm beginning to think heavy isn't all that important. I'm making good gains. Keep your chin up. I just finished reading what’s been on your blog thus far. If you need any help with Italian food, let me know.

First out ... an opinion .. I think you are going about things the wrong way .. to gain muscle .. you have got to eat .. to get big you have to eat big, to get huge, you guessed it, you have to eat huge! To try to gain muscle while burning fat or worrying about fat is like trying to drag race with the parking break set. Your best bet is going to be to concentrate on one or the other, either bulk, or go on a lean cycle, you're going to hinder the results if you try both at the same time. I for example bulk during the winter part of the year, no need to look good at the pool :) Then I go on a lean out cycle early spring to get the bulking fat off .. My recommendation to you is, focus on growing now, cutting fat later. Eat like you'll never get food again, lift hard, and for gods sake, break up your lifting program in to muscle groups, not the entire body every day or every other. Example: Monday and Thursday - Chest, Back, rear delts Tuesday and Friday - Biceps, triceps, shoulders Wednesday and Saturday - Legs Abs on all 6 days. This takes me about 90-120 minutes every day to do .. At the rate you expect to see muscle growth (based on your posts) you're setting yourself up for failure. Realistically don't expect more than a few lbs/month. I had back surgery in May last year and was out of order for a long time prior to that .. no lifting, no cardio, nothing. I'm back to hitting it hard 6 times/week and have been since august last year. I have since then gained 26 lbs (about 12 kilos) of weight, quite a few inches around my chest and arms ... I eat probably 3 times as much as you do every day and I work out 6 days week. I will hand it to you, I'm nowhere near as cut as you are in your pics, but I can guarantee you by the time summer hits here in the US I've dumped the winter bulk fat and will be saying hello to the abs again!

Tried adding up the quantity of protein you take in each day .. try to get at least 1.5-2grams per pound of lean body mass .. Looks like you barely get 180-200 grams which would make you a pretty tiny guy at 120 lbs hehehe Yep, protein powder has the same effect on me the first 2-3 weeks.
