you have to literally eat three times as much as you normally eat and you need make sure you get an equal amount of rest (sitting and gettin fat time, what i call it) it takes a LONG time to go about it the natural way, but it's the strongest/healthiest way of going about it i don't recommend any supplements like creatine or whatever, just eat 3 times your normal diet (or more depending on your own personal metabolism) and make sure you sit and get fat during your workouts :D i quit working out cuz... it's too much work haha i'm a framer anyway | ||

Even though I used to work out in a gym I never have gained as much upper body muscle and strength as I have through planche training. anyways, i think it's such a weird feeling when you start being able to flex muscles that you never knew you had. i dont know the names of the muscles but there are multiple areas of my back and shoulders that I can now flex that I never knew I could....it's such a weird but awesome feeling as far as my progress...i've been working my butt off almost on a daily basis for a year and on a really good day I can hold a straddle planche with perfect form for about 3-5 seconds. I'm really happy with my progress so far. I'm going to continue training until I can do a pushup in the straddle position. I really have no intention of achieving a true straight legged planche because it's pretty much impossible. You can DEFINITELY achieve a planche/planche push up. But not with that attitude. Do you have any specific questions in terms of gaining muscle/strength? Head over to the TL Health and Fitness thread in the tl community section, lots of good articles/info/helpful people there. | ||

You can get a good "cosmetic" or "superficial" appearance while at the same time being quite strong. | ||

False. Excess creatine is filtered + pissed out. There's not really any negative side effects of creatine. It's completely natural and found in beef. As long as you take as directed and stay hydrated you'll be fine. Not all muscle milk products have creatine. The muscle milk i have is just a combination of whey/casein protein. Eat hard (and right) and train hard and you WILL get stronger and bigger. | ||

For me I hit a wall at the advanced tuck stage that I could just couldn't seem to overcome. I had to change a lot of things before I was able to like wrist flexibility, stricter form (using a mirror to help) and hand position. I also realized I just wasn't trying hard enough...like obviously u try like hell when ur training...but to first push into that straddle i needed to try harder than I had ever done. edit: oh, and i'm 5'6 and 150 pounds | ||

For you to gain muscle, eat every 3 hours(full meals)that's roughly how long it takes for the food to be emptied from your stomach into the small intestine. You want to keep your body in an anabolic state, the moment you stomach is empty, your body will go into catabolic state and start breaking down shit to fuel itself. You don't need those whey proteins, they are just waste of money. I have used them for years. They don't do enough compared to full proper meals. It is a big investment and takes a lot of preparation and commitment. GL. | ||
