If you want bigger muscles, no matter what you're trying to increase, incorporate heavy squats into your routine. Squats increases the testosterone load in your body and thus makes it easier to grow muscle in other areas.



If you're just trying to gain weight in general, just make small changes in lifestyle. For example, when sucking dick, swallow. Don't waste calories you could otherwise ingest.


See, it told you. This has nothing to do with anything some people are too young for.

We don't want to have fun, because we love the sounds they make when they swallow our cum, we only want to help.

Will doing just push ups help build muscle in the arms?
How many should I do each day?

Push ups are great for building muscle and toning the chest, shoulders, triceps and even to some degree the lats.
Four- Five sets of as many reps as possible(you should ultimately aim for 30-40 reps per set), 2-3 non consecutive days of the week.
When you are able to do that, change you angles. Do sets with your feet on a bench and your hands on the floor and vice versa.Move you hands further/closer than shoulder width to work the muscles differently. Eventually your muscles will adapt, push ups will no longer be effective and you will HAVE to use some free weights. But that's down the road a bit wink

6:30PM - whatever the wife made for dinner.


But that would be the best diet ever. sad A modern woman that cooks. confuse

I'm doomed to live on frozen pizzas 4ever.

I had a 30-inch waist when I met her.
She is an incredible cook.
By the time I decided to stop feeding myself to death, size 36 jeans were tight.
Now I'm down to 33/34 (depending the cut).
For my size/frame I probably should be a 31/32.
I have re-discovered portion control as well (her Puerto Rican self just PILES mounds of food on a plate!!!).

Yeah, you're absolutely right.
I'm going to give you a typical day;
9:30AM - Bagel w/ 1 egg white, turkey & swiss
12:30PM - whatever the office is having for lunch
6:30PM - whatever the wife made for dinner.

I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm no longer in my 20's. I have tried to eat better by having more chicken & vegetables and less starch & fried foods. BUT I can't seem to get into the tuna/whey protein shakes/boiled chicken 5x a day that those muscle magazines tout.

Maybe I'll invest in a good nutrition/diet book and see how that goes. My wife lost ALOT of weight by cutting out red meat and soda.

My ex bf was skinny in his youth but has maintained his muscle mass over 20+ years. He's fairly dedicated to the gym mad but he's in & out in less than an hour, never does any more than 20 minutes of cardio. He's never gone the boiled chicken/tuna route, but he does have protein in every meal.

I say drop the bagel, up the protein & maybe incorporate some protein shakes into your diet. Muscle Milk actually tastes good & it comes in a low fat version.

If the wife cooks pasta, have very little, start buying whole wheat/whole grain (less fattening). Just be on the lookout for the traps in those office/home meals. & if you don't know how they were prepared (lots of butter & oil) opt for less of the "good" stuff & more veggies. You just gotta know the equation & balance it out...

thumbs up!
In the past few years, I've gained a taste for green beans and broccoli (10 years ago they made me gag). And like I posted above, I'm working on portion control when it comes to my baby's cooking.
