I was as a youth, then since military service I'd switched to martial arts.

Alittle advice- if want to build muscle faster, gain alittle excess weight-( 15-20 lbs fat), go into strict weight lifting using whey protien product shortly after you start.

Whey protien helps clean out your system, but keeping it healthy, and allows your body to convert whats stored on the body as excess, into muscle. But, it takes raising the metabolism, heart rate and cleaning the body so cells can operate properly and be able to absorb needed components for building muscle.

Only work your body until you have caused minor ache in muscles during work out. Some people sweat alot more than others, so thats a false belief. Slow, steady working of the body does not over stress, but brings the body to a good metabolism level for consistant muscle building operations, even for a short time after you stop.

Stay consistant with your lifting regiments. Don't graduate too quickly in weight you lift, so that you don't inadvertantly overstress your muscles.

Lift weight that makes you work fairly well, but not too hard. Go 15-20 reps. per work out, in groups of 3, first one rep. for arms, one for legs, etc, switching between them for total of 3 times each part you work on. do sit ups, push ups, chin ups all with extra weight when own weight is too light.

For particular muscle group building, just ask, I'll describe work outs for them.

God Bless!!

I've started going to the gym daily, sometimes twice for the last couple months. I just got accepted into a Law Enforcement program in school, and I want to gain about 15lbs of muscle.

For someone like me, its incredibly hard to gain weight. So I've started to eat a lot. We're talking 6 times a day. My average meal plan is like this

Breakfast:
Fruit Smoothie
Eggs and or Breakfast meats
Whole Weat toast with honey

Brunch:
Usually Pasta with lots of meat and whole weat noodles

Lunch:
Soup or Salad. I'm never hungry at this time of day

Lupper:
This vaires from day to day, me and my room mate take turns cooking. Its usually stir fry, burgers, Indian food, Mexican food.... you know, easy meals for guys to make

Supper: I usually just make a whey shake with milk and frozen fruit, and some left overs.

Oh yeah, Here is my workout (I take weekends off, so when I said every day I should have said 5 days a week)

1) Run 5K and try to beat my time
2) Abs machine
3) Back (rowing and pull down)
4) Arms (free weights)
5) Bike on high intesity 10 mins (legs)
6) Swim for 15 mins to loosen up
7) steam room

I don't work my legs because they're already tree trunks, and my upper body is that of your average veggitarian

So that needs work.

I weigh 9 stone lol.

I work out 5 times a week normally. I elliptical and then go on to weights, arms and chest muscles mainly. I've been the scrawny white boy and a year ago I decided that was long over. SHouldn't this be in the Sports section?

I've been around body builders and seem them...but since I'm female I've never pursued it. I guess I don't find muscular women something that I like to see (i.e., lots of muscle and brawn), but it's their choice so I don't discriminate.

Sometimes, I've seen where body building men get INSANELY huge, like those competitions where they show off their bodies and stuff...I can just imagine a muscle bursting, lol.
