  1. Wow - how hot is Marzia? PS: any reason why Jimi doesn't have a profile - am I missing something here ?
  2. Sounds good, remember - you definatly have to keep adding weight to those lifts in order to get big! Just keep perfect form and add the weight systematically and slowly, keep the intensity of your workouts up, and you will see improvements.. Good luck!
  3. First off, It's good to see you have some decent moves in there - the bench, squat, deadlift and chin ups are all essential to gaining strength. As mentioned above there is no need to ditch these in order to "confuse" your body.. However... Are you working out 5 days a week ? If so, I would suggest try going 3 days a week, with 48 hours rest between workouts (monday, wednesday and friday for example) This extra rest, coupled with the few extra calories as mentioned above should help your progress.
  4. I myself was underweight at one stage, however managed to put on about 40 lbs in one year on a diet which consisted 90% of beans, pasta, rice, nuts and soy milk... Sure a lot of it was fat but I felt 10 times better than when I was underweight.. Just sayin...
  5. I wouldn't go using huge amounts of seiten any time soon because its made predominantly from gluten - a protein found in wheat etc, which many people are allergic to, and quite easily causes bloating, sore joints etc. I'm not saying I avoid gluten all together, but its something I eat less and less of these days. If you're after a decent source of protein check out some of the powders made from pea, brown rice, and hemp. You can find them in a lot of health food stores, but often I find the internet can be significantly cheaper PS: I still think legumes are great, and you can probably still factor them into your diet, depending on what kind of caloric ratio you're shooting for... I think they deserve more cred than just being a carb
  6. .. Hah whoops, just read that bit! Cool so you drink the flour... I didnt think it would taste that good, dont't worry. Any idea about the grams of protein/carb/fats per 100g of it ? Also, you live in Aus too right, where do you buy it from ? Cheers
  7. Cheers for the response.. However, I believe we were actually talking about "Hemp flour" which is still quite high in protein and probably better for you than other flours, but different from the hemp protein powders ( and about the 10th of the cost...) I couldn't find the basic nutrition stats for it on the net but might try looking a bit more...
  8. find a decent cheap asian grocer. (usually the larger they are, the cheaper) Here you can cheaply get: -tofu -brown rice -bunches of greens (chinese spinach, boy choy etc) Then find a decent cheap continental store (not sure what they call these in the U.S... they sell lots of imported italian & greek foods) Here you can cheaply get: canned and dried beans, lentils and chickpeas (I know you dont like beans but hey if you want to do it on a budget you have to learn to appreciate them) -giant bags of TVP Then go find somewhere you can buy some cheap almonds and peanuts, and a market to buy some more cheap veggies With your imagination these ingredients can make up 90% of your diet
  9. Has anyone tried mixing some hemp flour with water and drinking it ? I was thinking of buying some to try this, just because its ridiculously cheap, (compared to protein powders) and high in protein/ good fats... (As far as I know ? Does anyone have the basic nutritional stats for hemp flour ?)
  10. It might be hard unless you add tonnes of MSG that is found in all those instant noodles!
  11. Wow, you used to drink at the gym ? How did that go down with the other people training there ?
  12. Wow thats great, considering in youre last post you were freaking out about what to eat! Post some pictures!
