Can u help me ?? If u have any suggestion or fitness program please e-mail me..
Thanx.

I'm sorry before, I have already eat right like enough carbs and 2 g
protein per pounds of bodyweight and train as hard as i could but my
body still couldn't changed, is that any relations with genetics?? I
train more harder but nothing gain,especially my chest,my chest is very
small not wider,eventhough i griped a barbell presses with a wider grip.

>As a hardgainer, it makes me frustated, i do 4 sets of 6-10 reps per

and incline dumbell flyes.
2nd day : barbell shrugs, Front, Rear and Close grip pulldowns,t-bar
rows and seated machine rowsi never had a problem in developing my legs and arms
Is it to much exercises for me to do with my chest and backs workouts
programs?i am so confused can u help me ??
Thanx for the trainer that tries to understand my problems
Thanx for u Yes. You're genetically a hardgainer. If you think you're eating
enough, then you probably aren't. Even hardgainers can gain size. They just
have to eat more. I strongly recommend taking the Animal M-Stak. It
should be a big difference. When gaining muscle and size, everything hinges
around diet, not training. You say you're eating enough... Maybe you
should look at your diet again.


Note :

That e-mail is a long time ago when i stuck on pletau to get more bigger than before, after read this email

SIX DIET TIPS

1) Water. Did you know that water is essential for weight loss?
Water helps to flush your body clean of toxins & fat. Drinking ample
water each day allows your bodily functions to work optimally. One
of the biggest benefits of drinking water while losing weight is that
it makes you feel full. If you always have a full water bottle with
you & drink it throughout the day, it will take away your "extra"
hunger & help you from snitching unwanted calories. Aim for at
least 64 ounces of pure water per day.

2) Fiber. Fiber is a wondrous fat loss aid. Eating foods rich in fiber
throughout the day will really make you feel full & help to keep
your appetite in check. Try to incorporate about 5 grams of fiber
per meal (about 25 total for the day). If you are currently not up to p
ar with your fiber intake (& chances are you are not) gradually
increase to 25 grams per day to prevent bloating. High fiber foods:
vegetables, nuts/seeds, beans, whole grains (like oatmeal,
granola, non-sugary cereals) & many fruits.

3) Eat 5 meals per day. Some may think that sounds like an awful
lot of food but eating 5 small meals during the day will really help
you lose weight. It may take some getting used to but your body
will adjust & you will start to lose unwanted pounds. If you eat 5
small, balanced meals per day you will not be hungry, you will
have higher energy levels through out the whole day & food
cravings should virtually disappear.

4) Be prepared. It is so much easier to eat healthy when you plan
ahead. Bring some healthy meals to work, make leftovers at
dinner for lunch the next day, keep good food in the fridge at
work or even in your drawers (nutrition bars, shakes & a shaker
bottle, nuts & seeds, fruit or other favourite healthy snacks).

5) Free day. Yippee! A day of eating anything you want, anything
you desire is allowed! Not only is it allowed, it is also
encouraged. By completely denying yourself of all sweets &
snacks while dieting, you may be setting yourself up for a
disastrous fallout. Allow yourself one day per week where you
can have a piece of your favourite dessert or a Pina Colada or
whatever your favourite treat may be. Allowing yourself a little
breathing room for just 1 day a week can really help you
maintain the correct mindset to stay focused & committed to
your weightloss efforts.

6) Try a diet supplement. While there’s no substitute for a
healthy diet & consistent exercise program, many people find
taking a fat burning supplement helps the process along.
We suggest "Herbal Genesis" for those of you who are
looking for extra energy, quick fat loss & some help
resisting those constant food cravings. Herbal Genesis helps
burn ugly fat, crush cravings, & super charge your energy.

7 Strategic Protein

Every serious lifter eats tons of protein. 200 grams. 300 grams. Even 400 grams and more. Ask any competitive bodybuilder: protein provides the building blocks of muscle. Whatever protein you use, here are seven tips for maximizing protein use.




1. Cycle Protein Powders
If you only use one kind of protein, like whey, then it's high time you cycled off and used another protein source. Just like you wouldn't stick with only turkey breasts during your pre-contest diet, you shouldn't stick to one protein powder. As with training, vary, vary vary.

2. Blend Proteins
Why do pros get their whole proteins from a variety of sources? It's not just because of taste. Whole proteins vary in terms of amino acid profiles, vitamins, minerals, and other key nutrients. The same applies with protein powders. Want the best protein powder? Mix them up. Each protein comes complete with its own set of unique benefits and microfractions. For example, casein is the richest in glutamine, and has casomorphins which help release aminos over a long time. Soy has isoflavones. Whey has high BCAA levels and fractions such as GMPs and lactoferrin. Egg is great because it's a high quality protein that's lactose-free and dairy-free.

3. Increase Your Protein Intake
Make sure you're getting enough raw protein. Serious bodybuilders take anywhere from one to two grams of protein for every pound of bodyweight. You might also want to try mixing things up: add 50g of extra protein, spread it out over a day, for a month and see what happens.

4. Take Protein With Every Meal
If you're eating 4-6 meals a day, make sure you divide your total daily protein intake between those meals. For example, let's say you weigh 200 pounds and you want to consume 200 grams of protein. If you eat five meals, then each meal should contain 40g of protein.

5. Select The Right Protein For The Job
Consider specializing your protein use depending on the time of day and the frequency with which you eat. If you have time to eat 6 meals a day, then whey protein will work great. If not, you may want to use a protein like casein. Are you considering taking a protein shake before bed? Stick to a slow-acting protein like casein and avoid whey. Look for a quick shot of aminos after training? Use whey instead.

6. Take Protein After You Train
Take protein along with carbs immediately after lifting. Consider a 2 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein, or about 100g of carbs and 50g of protein.

7. Drink More Water
Increasing protein intakes means increasing your water intakes as well. More protein means more nitrogen that needs to be flushed out of your body. Water does the trick. Aim for at least a gallon of water a day.
