Don't go cheap on your protein. You will regret it. I have tried Myofusion and ON 100% gold standard whey, both have incredible taste (milk chocolate flavor), myofusions texture is thicker which I like Smile

Both are top sellers as well, very popular and proven brand names.

So I should look on the back of the containers to make sure?

Hey guys, cheers for all the information on the protein side of things. I'm gonna make my way down to Holland and Barretts tomorrow to see what they have in stock Smile

I see that the plan you are wanting to follow wants you to do 5x5. I think this article explains pretty clearly why this is bad: http://www.musclehack.com/the-best-way-to-gain-muscle-mass/

So basically it's saying do as many reps as you can? I think the aim of the 5x5 I wanted to follow is to use weight that you struggle to lift and slowly ascend in weight. Been following it for a week anyway and I'm starting to see results so I'm not complaining haha Razz

Bulking Up!
Hey Guys Smile

Joined up yesterday in a hope to keep track of exercise / diet. I'm a 6'8 / 9 male and I've always been told to bulk up but always passed it off. I got gifted a 3 month gym membership so im deciding to make the most of it. Hoping to build up my arms and lose some of the fat I gained over the holidays Smile

I'm following this weight lifting guide in order to build muscle:

On the "recovery days" I do some cardio which involves running and cycling.

Just one question, should I invest in Whey protein or anything similar to help increase muscle growth? Don't know a great amount about it all Confused
