Everyone. But it certainly sounds accurate in his case. Not that I know much about his situation personally of course, but that's the impression I get. :)

100% effort IMO
If you're not getting results 9/10 times you're simply not trying hard enough. Educate yourself on proper nutrition and workout regimes, man up and get to the gym.
Uchess even gets to have sweaty big men all around him, i can't imagine how motivation would be a problem.
I guess i have to eat more and get some proteins then go to the gym, i`m currently 110 lbs.
That sounds like a dangerously anemic weight.
Damn, 110 lbs (~50kg)? That's pretty darn low :P
Holy shit Uchess, how tall are you? 1.50?
5'5" is my height
You're short but that's still way too low. Get dem protein shakes and load on carbs brah.
25 yrs old, 5'5" 110lbs? Better pack heat or a blade. J/K.
Definitely your diet will be the biggest thing to slow down that metabolism, give your body something to work with, and allow you to gain mass.
Am I the only one who envies Uchess? lol.
I'm 5'10", clocked in at 140.6lbs/63.9kgs today. Still trying to drive that down to 60kgs/132lbs.
You guys are way too light.
I'm trying to lose as much fat as possible before starting weight training, since I'll have to eat more than my daily requirement then, and gaining some fat along with muscle is inevitable.Quote:

Buff: I don't know if you want to get really lean before trying to put on mass, because then you'll have to eat more to gain mass, instead of just letting your fat reserves fuel you. I'm not sure how that works exactly though.
I was under the impression that muscle growth only happened when you're in a anabolic state, while fat loss only really worked when you're in an catabolic state. I don't know too much about it neither, and this is mostly from internet sources rather than textbooks.
PS: if something says "3 Sets Of 15, 12, Then 8 Reps", that means I do 15, then 12, then 8 right?
Not 15x3, 12x3, 8x3..
I think you gain muscle from working out period (lifting weights is basically tearing muscle and then letting it repair itself). You will just have muscle under fat if you aren't a lean person. I guess if you're already lean, then you won't need to work on cardio as much. As far as gaining fat as well as muscle from increased food intake, that won't happen if you eat the right foods.
I can say from experience that it isn't.Quote:

Protein gives you more muscle mass, excercise defines said muscle.Quote:

...like i said, go educate yourself. Read some articles, visit forums, ask your doctor.Quote:
