When it comes to douchebag teenagers who think they are the shit because some equally as douchebaggy girls (who are probably monsters who wear flippy sweatskirts and frosted makeup) hump them, and who make patronizing comments; I don't "like 'em". At all.

1) I'm NOT saying all the mass (meaning MATTER) is muscle!!! I'm saying that it is LEAN MASS, which includes ALL mass that is NOT fat. That means 30 lbs of muscle,

weight gained. Agreed.

You would lose water weight, especially with aerobic exercise. Water weight lost/gained is dynamic and (pardon the terminology) fluid. Weight gained or lost in this area is not consistent and should not really be considered in overall fitness program. What I'm saying is that one should not look at water weight with the impression that "Hey, I've lost all this water weight. I'm going to avoid water intake." Most people do not intake enough water. Indeed, it makes up 70%+ of our physiological make-up.

Possibly, but very nominal. I think the biggest organ expansion would be the erection YOU get flexing in the mirror.

As you are still adolescent, this may contribute in a nominal way although it is, again, be nominal at best and does not correlate to weight training so much as the proper nutrients/minerals ... i.e. calcium in particular.

Calorie surplus = fat? You're all set.

That's just it. Dude's like... 17 or something. Still a kid. Has no f'n clue in the world what's going on... Thinks he does, but he doesn't. Just like every teenager thinks they know. Just like every teenager has serious identity issues and becomes volatile over the most insipid shit. Hormones like a roller coaster... OAO... go to Africa or spend a summer with the Peace Corps. Find yourself through meditation or drugs. Just quit being such a faggot.

Emu · #**109**

He's, like, not even 16 and a half, I think.

17 in August.

Kelly, you gain water with anaerobic muscle-building work. You do tend to lose more of with aerobic work, if I recall correctly, but overall you're going to have more water if the focus of your training is gaining mass.

kellychaos · #**111**

YOUR BODY IS 70% + LBS IN FRIGGIN WATER WEIGHT! It may change in it's distribution but is immaterial in the scheme of permanent weight loss. The overall percentage is within a few percentage points over a broad spectrum of body types ... excluding those at the extreme ends of the spectrum, of course.

And as far as your bone growth goes, I have something that I'd like you to consider in light of the excess of steroid use in pro sports. This is not intended to turn your attitude. Just a thought:

Many athlete who abuse steroids often have injuries involving their bones and connective tissue. Why is that? Because the muscle is growing at a rate that far excells any improvement in the bones, tendons and ligaments. I.E. bone growth does not even come close to muscle growth even in non-steroid development.

P.S. Even though I don't know what the hell you're going on about half the time, I find your viewpoint vital and refreshing. More about.

Kelly, I'm not talking about losing weight. If you're gaining weight from muscle, you're going to have to gain water weight too in order to keep the percentage of water the same in your body.

Chojin · #**113**

I just realized that you're completely outrageous.

CaptainBubba · #**114**

I weigh 180 pounds, stand 6 foot, (hilarious that you weight the same btw) and I rest completely certain I have at least twice the "lean muscle mass" you possess. People on this board who have seen my pictures can testify to this. I've been lifting weights and eating a high protein diet for roughly 5 years now. I gain about 4 pounds of "lean muscle" a year, on a good year. To gain anymore as a matter of permanence in any non-supplemental healthy fashion is nearly impossible (despite what websites and MUSCLE ABS WEEKLY will say). Noone will ever be impressed about your personal athletics or your diet regimen so stop trying to flaunt either, it just makes you appear desperate to hear results before you achieve them. Alot of people consider excersise a facet of their life and typically the people who talk about it as if it were a novelty to be displayed end up giving it up or developing eating disorders. Making you a raging douche bag in either case.

The One and Only... · #**115**

Whatever dude. I guess the fact that I read what the bodybuilders say on the top forum for it in the world has no merit...

CaptainBubba · #**116**

Correct

Correct, you are going to gain some weight in conditioning as I explained. Just about every tissue in the body has some water content (the percentage varies with the tissue in question) but you tend to compartmentalize water as a separate entity while pigeon-holing it all as "lean muscle". When you originally said that I gained x amount of lean muscle and lumped organ growth, bone growth, water wieght, ect. into the fray, you were simply incorrect. I guarantee you that growth in some of the areas you mentioned is nominal. The majority of weight gain came from a combination of gaining muscle mass while not losing fat mass at the same rate. That's where aerobic exercise comes into play. It is possible to keep one's weight fairly close to what they started with before conditioning with the proper regimine and actually gain a low bodyfat percentage in the bargain.
