how long has it taken to gain the 5 lbs. i take weight gainer mix (50g protein/1000 calories a serving) usually once sometimes twice a day, and ive gained about 10 lbs in just over a month.

Seriously, does eating more meat increase you're muscle mass? I only have meat about once a day, and thats at dinner - yet I built up a lot of arm and chest muscle over a 9 month period.

You'll be able to build a certain amount of muscle as you continue your normal calorie intake, but at some point, your muscles will need a higher calorie intake in order to build more mass.

(I'm talking about pure body building, not exercising to be healthy or atheletic)

I do it for a few reasons..
-I LOVE the feel of finishing that last rep that you didnt think you could do, its kinda like a runners high but from lifting.
-Yes, girls like a guy who is cut... not to mention being able to wear t-shirts, polos, and basketball jerseys without looking like a preadolencent boy in the arms and chest.
-I dont play sports year round, only intramurals in the fall and winter so it definitly helps keep me in shape.
-In daily life its nice to be able to lift things you otherwise would struggle with.

oh yeah good point, guys you piss off (happens alot on the streets when I've been drinking) will defintly think twice about getting into shit with you, and if they do, you will be alot more powerful, since I have very little street fighting skills, I would likely still get my ass kicked in that scenario though biggrin:

Gyms contain large populations of homosexuals. At least 3 gays for every 5 square yards of floor-space.

By hot chicks you mean effeminate dudes? Lucky.

Anyways, I plan on working out this school year because my place is a 2 minute walk from the gym.
