once you get to a certain size, it's all about maintenance. putting any emphisis on how heavy your weights are isn't a good idea either. if you want to get big, build up your resistance first (do repititional workouts, pullups, and pushups). then you can proceed to maximize your weights. don't start off with heavy weights and expect to grow.

one of my favorite bruce lee quotes is "sure he is big, but how much power can he generate?"

drinking shakes is easier, i dont have a huge stomach i find it hard to eat alot of food! Plus if i ate everything in the fridge everyone in my family would be pissed off with me.

I can say im a very healthy person....at times

In my diet i try and include only complex carbs, and whole meal fooods.

Foods high in carbs and high in protein for muscle development.

I drink heaps of water everydayy, i rarely drink anything else but water. As keeping hydrated is important, and water is also very necessary for the transportation of materials in our body. I try and stay away from drinks with caffiene such as coffee, tea, alcohol and energy drinks like redbull. As these items dehydrate the body, which definatly aiint good.

Along with a good diet, i participate in regular physical activity, such as basketball, and other forms of training; jumping exercises, and resistance training.

Also supplementation is really good. Not the vitamin supplements, as we get all our vitamins from the food we eat, any more we get from supplements will run outta our body, as we wont need it. But supplements such as weight gaining shakes, protein shakes, liquid meals etc are great. If youve missed a meal you can always have a shake, it is digested very easily, and most contain high amounts of what you want. In my case loads of carbs and protein.

Nice Jono, I'm the same with eating complex carbohydrates (Balanced energy levels) and only drink water also. I don't use supplements like protein and vitamins as I can't afford them! But They can be good substitutes for real food like when theres no times to prepare it.

And I'm pretty sure soft drink (especially coke) is incredibly bad for you, if you tip a drop of coke on a surface and a drop of water on the same surface you can see what it does differently. Water settles better because its not full of carbonation and a whole lot of additives that just deteriorate your body. Of course moderation is the key here but I'm lucky enough to not enjoy soft drink anyway, it is overpoweringly sweet. This is a good thread

Yeah i dont drink soft drink either

After seeing people with screwed up yellow teeth, i said to myself i dont wanna walk around with orange teeth, so i stopped drinking it. Water is a great substitute  :cheers:

 I had a surgery and after it I had a lot of restrictions on my diet. A lot of things like soft drinks, sugary things had to be limited and after awhile I just got use to avoiding all the junk food/ fast food and soft drinks. Eventually I could go back to an unrestricted diet but didn't just cause it because I didn't see any reason in it.

I had total collectomy which is surgery for the colon, since its total I am pretty sure I have no colon anymore. It was for some Genetic Disease called FAP that becomes a malignant cancer in the the intestines and caused my dad to pass away at the age of 42.  I got screened and had like 50 small polyps that were changing into larger things and were expected to become malignant sometime in the next 20 years. I took an operation, I would continue but I have to get to school for my law trip and don't want to be late.

smart, and very good you caught it early

ive had surgery before aswell, but nother as serious as your case. Mine was for appendicidus, when my appendix was inflamed so they had to remove it before it broke and caused damage.
