>missing is gains

The only thing that I see missing here is a healthy dose of gear.

Why b8? I'm serious. I'm guessing there's actual supplements out there to achieve gains but I don't wanna throw good money after bad. I was hoping for some suggestions on what kind of supplements are the best to invest in to get the best results. I want to get beyond Bruce Lee or Manny Pacquiao level musculature.

My legs are massive as fuck because of my cycling. I don't pussy out. I mountain bike and gear as hard as my bike will let me. I just want the rest of me to look the same, especially my arms.

Best bang for your buck is plain Testosterone.

Any supplement that works is usually laced with a prohormone that is going to be a lot worse for you anyway, provide significantly less growth as well.

The other route is to just be happy as a natty and continue training and eating right. I wouldn't throw money away. You could better spend that supplement cash on clothes, saving up for a house/car, going nice places developing as a person etc.

Apart from 'GEAR' these are the only supplements I take:
- Whey protons
- Fish oil
- Multi V
- B12
- Vitamin D3

I have shown you the path it is now your choice to make.

Stop biking and focus on upper body. I don't see how this is hard for you. Increase protein intake as well.

Your routine is [likely] bad and you don't eat enough to compensate for all of your riding.

Also it's likely your cycling is preventing proper recovery from lifting.

Yeah, I think I'll try the whey stuff. Since I cycle so much, I eat whatever I want but I do moderate, I never over-indulge. I have plenty of carbs for energy I think. I can't give up cycling though. Honestly, I'd rather have less gains if it came to that. Cycling and weights go hand and hand for me now. You are right though. In the end, my health is the most important thing, a combination of cardio and weights is the best.

>cycling 16 miles
>four hour, full body workout
how do you have that much free time?

>>36304873
#1.16 miles takes me less than two hours
#2. 4 hours every other day isn't that bad
#3. I'm single, no kids. Oh, yeah, that helps too

>>36304951
Cycling for 5 years and you don't break 16 miles in an hour? Sheeeeiiiit. Last year I was a total newb fatass and I was keeping a 13mph pace no problem.

>>36304505
you gotta do 8 hour arm workouts to see any gains m80

Most likely you are not eating enough. If you have massive legs just do them once a week and do two upper body workouts per week. I can't stress this enough. Eat more. I'm a long distance runner and I eat 3000 cals to cut. At 185 lbs

I don't ride no 10 pound 10 speed. I ride a mountain bike with 29 inch wheels. The bike is heavy as shit and I ride on the gears that give me the most resistance. I also tote a heavy ass backpack with tools and rain gear just in case. I go up steep as fuck bridges and sometimes hilly roads. I don't play, son.

>>36304505
The amount you bike causes a buildup of stress hormone which inhibits muscle growth.

Nothing you can do since you refuse to do the only things that work.

>The only thing missing is gains.
>I obviously don't have a weight issue

Lad...

>>36306096
You ride on gears that don't fit terrain to increase difficulty instead of going as fast as you can to increase difficulty? You certainly sound like you're playing around.

you're burning up all your muscle by not fueling enough with carbs

once you run out of glycogen you start burning muslce

do you ever smell ammonia in your sweat?

if you want to burn fat and build muscle, you need to ride a lot easier.

riding intensely burns through your glycogen stores very very fast. Im 128 lbs right now (ot addicted to riding after lifting weights for years at 170lbs) and I have to eat a retarded amount of carbs every day if I do 10-14 hours week of training. Like, 3-4 handfuls of gummi bears, 2-3 cups of brown rice, 2-3 cups of oatmeal every day.

U want gains, ride very very easily, like your hardly breathing any more. Lift more. eat more.

he said 16miles, not 16mph

and mtb
if he was doing 16mph on a mountain bike on actual trails he would be faster than UCI pros

Do you not have a job?
