I think it's more to do with underwear style, so by that graphic I'm an endo.

Nah, without knowing me it's hard to really take how I respond in proper context, I've got no reason to lie about being pissed or not so you'll just have to take my word, not bothered, not pissed, not rustled, just sharing my point of view. Would be a good test. Your assumption being that they should show similar gains (as a percentage of total BW or starting strength etc). How do you measure and account for things like base metabolic rate that is shown to differ between individuals regardless of body type? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate Even in that article it mentions 26 or so % of the variance was unaccounted for. And you don't think people can genuinely be self describing as "Ecto" (knowing what they really mean is just hard gainer) and not see ANY basis for that claim? That seems like a pretty sweeping generalisation dude, I'm no scientist and I'm often wrong about things but you've got to at least consider that there may be some truth in the idea that some people struggle to gain, and some others likely struggle to lose. I'm like you, I can go up and down as I please now that I know how far away from maintenance I must go to achieve it, in my head though, maintenance is different for everyone and how far you need to move away from it to achieve your goal can also vary widely.

*shrug* I'm not really fussed what people think or whether this or that isn't or is not true. I'm just sharing my experience. If I ate now (as an active person) what I ate as an inactive teen I would definitely put on weight. There's no way I could eat that much that regularly now and stay the same weight. That might not be the case for you, but I'm not speaking for you. That's a big part of my point. The "maintenance" amount you refer to has definitely shifted substantially over time. Put that down to age based metabolism if you want, the fact remains that there are people who at one point or another will find it harder than others to gain weight. I could give two f**ks about ecto/meso etc. I'm more of a metabolism explains it kind of person and some of us, you and I at least in here Birds, had/have faster/better/more aggressive metabolisms that take some serious eating effort to overcome. If people wanna call that being an Ecto, who gives a f**k, you know what they mean. The swearing makes that sound more jazzed up than I am, Jimmies are yet to be rustled.

When I started out, around 21-22 or so I thnk it was, after 12mths of gyming I'd only gained about 4-5kg. I started talking to my gym mates and a trainer and they all said the same thing, it's not what I'm lifting that was the issue it was what I was/wasn't eating. After I shifted focus to what I called my period of "power eating" I actually gained some weight Now I'm a fat kent. Whether that was overcoming something in my makeup or just a change in metabolism due to age I dunno. You'd think if it was genetic I'd have lost it all when I stopped training for 2 years to fix various injuries, I lost a lot of weight, got down to high 70's but didn't go back to the mid 60s. So maybe age is a factor for me too.

I dunno why people get all crazy with flavours. Go for vanilla or unflavoured and add your own stuff at home to taste (baeeires, banana etc). I just go Vanilla, winner every time. As for the body type stuff I disagree a little. I come from a family of skinny runts as Birds puts it and as a teen was heavily into video games and junk food and just eating all the time because it was the thing to do and I still weighed 60kg wringing wet when I left highschool (when the time came around I was also drinking heavily, sugary pre-mix shit) No kg's gained. So genetics/body type do have some impact. Many of my mates living the same lifestyle at the time got fat or at least bigger/heavier. It was a very conscientious effort on my part to gain weight.

Eoi: F.s. R33 260 Rwkw $10K
No Crust Racing replied to macdoodle69's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Good news, congrats on the sale. I think SAU users (myself included) are so used to seeing cars for sale that we devalue them mentally because we know another one is right around the corner. Glad to hear you moved it. -
I simply use it as a term people are familiar with Boz, I'm well aware the "types" were dispelled. My point being, some people do genuinely find it harder to gain. I was one of them. I eat substantially less now and maintain a desired weight with far greater ease. So age/metabolism definitely play a part. That's not to say that age and metabolism have an unbreakable link (you can improve or damage your metabolism regardless of age to an extent), just that a lot of guys find it hard to gain when they are younger, not all but many.
-
Yeah I should add I did not use gainers. Just protien and lots of eating plus lots of gym.
-
As a former ecto, because it can be bloody hard to gain with a fast metabolism. I spent far more time working on my eating than I did lifting. Really it wasn't until I got a bit older that I could stop working so hard to gain and maintain.
-
Pretty common for guys who make their own supps I thought. When I was researching making my own it came up a lot. In the end I remember that I am an absolute rank amateur and basic protein was enough for me

Don't break your spine, just sayin

If you're doing CrossFit I'm sure we'll hear from you..

And I got my stuff

Had an update appointment with the physio. No real progress pain wise. I am getting stronger in the planks and my abs are getting more defined but no real benefit in back pain as yet. I won't be able to continue doing to side plank as doing them on the right side really upsets my elbow so I'll have to watch that in the next week or two, if need be skip a session to let it heal properly. He said I need to work on core for stretching for a good 6mths to see some results, better than injections or surgery IMO. He also said there's no need to come and see him any more than monthly at most as I'm just wasting my money because I'm doing the work at present. A session now looks like this. Breaks between sets are normally 90-120secs. As you can see I've dropped the weight on a lot of things and added reps, keeps the heart up and semi covers off for no cardio at the moment, plus a bit easier means more enjoyment and less chance of injury. If anything I'm now a touch bigger and more defined in some spots. Doing some lunges and calf raises again albeit with next to no weight. The physio stretching is various back and leg and pelvis stretches. Physio stretching and general warmup stretching 2x8 reps at 101-102kg or something on the bench. Then 1x 10 at 73kg incline press (this is slowly improving, initially 54kg was a real struggle oddly) Physio stretching Front plank, started out at 30sec to take it really easy, close to 2mins again now. 3x10 weighted dips at 12.5kg Physio stretching Side planks (scrapping these for another TBA core exercise) 30x Alternating Lunges (so 15 per leg) with a whopping 6kg of dumbells heavily focusing on locked core during. 3x10 Weighted dips at 17.5kg Back plank for 60-90sec 25 or so calf raises on a board with the same 6kg dumbells. Takes about 40-45mins.

You have 2 bench goals listed with different weights, assuming one is a squat goal. I've got no doubt you'll get there so I won't wish you good luck

I'm in Wodonga. They are on eBay as we speak. A few people watching but no bids yet, always happens at the end. They end tomorrow.

Eat a dick flamin mongrel. I mean "lol"

Good to see you back in here TTT.
-
I also pointed out the same stuff TTT did re the supps. But ultimately, if you don't enjoy the actual process of lifting or it's not giving you the body you want, or the body you think gets you the most compliments, don't do it.
-
With your mindset, I'd honestly say very little. You've tried it, it doesn't work for you in achieving the goals you want, your body clearly looks different when you're lifting weights and the general populace appears to prefer it the way it was. Make the decision based purely on what makes you happy. The opinions of others means nothing to you unless that's the reason you're exercising (which is fine). You've said on soooooo many occassions how you're unhappy with the results and do not like how you look when lifting, so logic dictates you would stop doing it. Do whatever makes you happiest.
