So eloquently put, good sir.

(via iliftthingsupandputthemd0wn)

Lifting weights is where it’s at! Girls you’re not going to get bulky or ‘too big’. You don’t have the testosterone for it, and women who do have crazy amounts of muscle, bust their ASS to get like that. There’s no way it’s going to happen on accident.

Also, if you’ve been lifting and you think you’re getting ‘bulky’, it’s probably because you’ve got a little layer of fat covering that awesome muscle you’re gaining. So clean up your diet! And throw in some cardio here and there—but weight training is where it’s at, and i’ll always swear by it.

Also, I see lots of people doing fasted cardio and workouts—which is great! But make sure you take you BCAA’s before/during or you will burn precious muscle mass too!! Branch Chain Amino Acids are essential in maintaining lean muscle mass. You want to burn fat, not hard earned muscle!

I'm a little confused about when I should be using protein powder. I hear some people say they take it after every workout, including cardio. But I also hear others say they take it only after weight lifiting. When do you think it's necessary to take protein poweder?

From my personal understanding, I think it is most important to take it immediately after a weight training workout, within an hour at least (I take mine as I’m walking out of the gym).

After cardio, your body wants/needs some variation of good carbs, protein isn’t a necessity because you’re not repairing broken muscle tissue.

Personally, I still take it after a cardio session because I use a protein shake as one of my six meals of the day.

There are also different kinds of protein, such as Whey or Casein. I use a Whey Protein Isolate for post-workout (this is digested out of your body in about an hour) and Casein protein (only after heavy-duty days) right before bed, it digests in about 6 hours and feeds your sore muscles overnight!
