Hello

I'm lifting years since I was 18 years old, now I'm 34 years old and still going in the gym. I think you can take the Maximuscle Progain without problems, because it's protein powder and that will help you to gain bigger muscles. If you take only this supplement it's a good choice. I wouldn't take creatin, glutamin or other things at your age, because you're still growing and you don't need a lot of chemical products in your body. Maybe later when you're older you can add these supplements if you want.

I sincerely prefer the Whey Gold Protein from Optimum Nutrition, because it has no added sugar and the Double Rich Chocolate is a really delicious taste. Maybe you can try it once to see if you like it, too.

It takes time to build muscles and you must be confident, because you're still growing and you mustn't train and lifting weights too much. You're too young to esagerate with lifting weights and you should take it slowly. You will have good results in the future, you can believe me because I have experience about it.

I had the same problem like you when I was younger, I didn't build muscle even that I trained hard. When I turned 21 I gained some muscle mass and put on weight, my shoulder were larger and I began to see results.

You must take care that to build muscle mass it takes some time, some gain quickier mass other need more time. By the way do never take steroids, they're not a good solution.

To develop the six pack abs you must add 3 times on every week with cardio exercises. It's better to do it after a workout, for 45 minutes on a stepper if possible. Do it 3 times and every time for 45 minutes, that would be enough. Eat more protein, fruit and vegatbles and avoid fatty meals only once on the weekend. You will see that if you follow these instructions and the workout downstairs you will see good results.

What has really worked on me it's this workout. Important it's too sleep well, eat healthy and take protein after workouts. The daily protein consumption is 2 gr/kg you can buy a protein supplement to your daily meals. Important it's to eat fish, meat, raw eggs, thunfish and to drink milk. Eat fruits and vegetables five times in the day if it's possible so you have all the vitamins you need. Take a protein shake after a workout with 25 - 30 gramm of Protein Powder, 2 bananas and 500 ml of low fat milk, put all in the mixer and drink it.

It's naturally that you must do your workout regulary, and try always to increase your weights but not too much. It takes time to build naturally muscle mass, but if you train hard and eat well you will have good results.

That's my best advice I can give you.

Monday: Squats, Benching, Rows
Weds: Squats, Military Presses, Deadlifts, Chins
Friday: Squats, Benching, Rows

Courtesy of bill starr, the greatest strength coach who ever lived, popularized this in the 70's with his great book, The Strongest Shall Survive, which was aimed at strength training for football. I believe he had essentually two different programs which both are 5 sets of 5. The first, which is more suitable for beginners, is to simply do 5 sets of 5 with similar weight jumps between each set so that your last set is your top weight. When you get all 5 on the last set, bump all your weights up 5 or 10lbs. Example for squat... 185 for 5, 225 for 5, 275 for 5, 315 for 5, 365 for 5. If you get 365 for 5, move all weights up. This is especially good for someone who is just learning a particular exercise like the squat, because the amount of practice with light but increasing weights is a good way to practice form.

For more advanced lifters, he advocated a warmup, then 5 sets of 5 with a set weight. For example, the same athlete used in the other example may do 135 for 5, 185 for 5, 225 for 3, 275 for 2, 315 for 1, then 350 for 5 sets of 5. When successfull with all 25 reps at 350lbs, bump the weight up the next workout by 5 or 10lbs.

This is not outdated, and is a good program for gaining strength. Many elite athletes still use it during at least part of the year. I in fact do 5 sets of 5 on squatting for 4 weeks as part of an 8 or 10 week training cycle. Personally, i do it 3 times a week, but most people will probably make better progress doing it 2 times per week, or even doing version 1 once a week, and version 2 once a week.

In any event i described a system in a post a while back that goes something like this:
Monday use the heaviest weight you can for all 5 sets (same weight each set)---- in other words when you get all 5 sets of 5 reps up the weight (most workouts you will get 3 or 4 sets of 5- and maybe your last one will be for 3 or 4 reps)

Wednesday use 10-20% less weight- in other words if you used 200lbs on monday use 160-180lbs on wednesday- actual amount depending on your recovery

Friday work up to a max set of 5-

In other words lets say that your best ever set of 5 is 215lbs and you used 200lbs on monday for 5 sets and 170lbs on wednesday. On friday your workout might be like this 95 for 5 135 for 5 175 for 5 200 for 5 then attempt 220 for your last set of 5.

This tends to work better as a long term program than doing the same thing 3 times a week. On exercises where you only do them once a week like deadlift you can just do the 5 sets of 5 like i described. On monday on exercises that you are only doing twice (rows) you could do both exercises like the monday workout or lighten one of them depending on your recovery ability. Be conservative with the weight when you start- that is important.

Also i have used this program VERY often with athletes and it is result producing. However many of your gains will show up after you use it for 4-6 weeks and you switch to training a bit less frequently and lower the reps and volume. However this is one program i have had a LOT of success with. In fact i rarely if ever use it with athletes who are at the top of their weight class because it causes too much weight gain unless you severely restrict your food.

...Or for normal humans with lives, try this: Eat, Eat, Eat. Lots of chicken, drink like 4 protein shakes a day (protein bars are good to) eat 6-8 times a day dude, cannot stress it enough. Lift, and lift hard use a spotter whenever you need it, and eat some more, and lift hard. Do some cardio 3-4 times a week 20-25 minutes will suffice. If you are going for mass this will not hinder any gains, if anything you will recover from workouts quicker and be able to lift harder and heavier. Make sure to rest also. Like two days off a week.

From what it sounds like, it's probably just from the pill. Breast enlargement and sensitivity are normal as well as cramps and light bleeding. You're asking your body to do a lot with just one little pill. Anyway, I would go check with your doctor, just to be on the safe side. It will reassure your boyfriend and let the doctor know your symptoms. You could be pregnant, but it sounds more like just side effects.
