yep, what i meantHaunter said:Superman said:Haunter said:It's all based on your reps, not your weight. Doing more reps till muscle failure is better than doing more weight, less reps till muscle failure.
No, you shouldn't stick with small weights if you want to build muscle mass. Repetition of small weights is utilized for improving one's endurance. Lifting heavy weights with proper form is ideal for improvement.
I'm not talking small small. You should find out what what your 1RM (repitition max) weight is, then do 30% of your 1RM. That ratio will give you higher muscle proteins than that of your full 1RM or 90% RM. You are also at less risk to an injury. You shouldnt' stay on the same weight for too long. You should be finding yourself being able to lift stronger weights and you should be upping your weight. I started at 20KG's 10RM 5 sets about 6 weeks ago. I'm now at 50KG's 10-15RM and till muscle failure. In 6 weeks, I've gained about 6-7KG's of muscle. For the starting weeks, that's pretty good.

Almonds and Bananas are a good pre-workout food if you intended on starting a workout. I mix them in with a protein shake and it tastes wicked

Yeah man, I'm actually eating almonds atm. Almonds have good source of protein. It's got around 5.7g of protein in every 30g. I also eat dried bananas, which is very good for you.

Chicken's also another great source of protein, and of course it tastes much better :grin:

Not exactly "own" one lol. But here in South America, at leas in Colombia, people from middle class + tend to have a maid to work for them, clean the house, prepare the food, etc. Here, they get paid the minimum, which is 600,000 COP (Colombian Peso), that is around 300 USD (sounds very low I know, and it is a little bit low, but you can live with that, and remember that people here spend in COP and earn in COP, not USD, 300 USD in USA is basically nothing). While she's here in my house, she prepares also her own food, and uses another bathroom.
But I know that in Europe or USA a maid is extremely expensive.
