    Hi just looking to see if i can get peoples opinions on my programme, progress so far please? The above stats are the differences between weeks 1 and week 5. My programme will change on week 7 to 5 sets of 5. I'm 5.8 and started out at 10stone 8lbs, i havent weighed myself in 2.5 wks but i was up to 11stone 4lbs. i had a starting body fat% of 14%, i have no idea what this is now but in my own mind i look a lot leaner. I'll check everything properly at the end of May. Before i started i was playing footabll 4 times a week for an hour but was eating rubbish, sausage rolls & lucozade 3 or 4 mornings a week. white scone, tea 2 sugars every day at 11. breadroll everyday and tea and a kit kat at 3 o clock. Dinner was always good wholesome Irish food, stew etc and could eat takeaway, pizza, chips twice a week and always drink 2 bottles of lucozade per day.

    Now since i started day 1 i've changed my diet, porridge in the morning, 3 fish oil capsules. 3 slices soda bread tea no sugar 2 low fat yogurts. wholemeal sandwhich with chicken, lettuce tomatoe or bagel with egg & cheese. Whey protein shake. Wholesome Irish dinner, cornflakes as a snack and another whey protein shake.

    I've been really happy with strenght gains and i definately see myself changing shape but i want to keep this up and get results faster. i've ordered serious mass supplement on the advice of a friend who has seen amazing results who claims he wishes he took it at the start of his training 1.5 yrs ago. im a little worried that i get get seriously fat from this stuff as im not lifting as heavy as he is. there's 1250 cals in every scoop so i'll be consuming in excess of 5k cals a day.

    I'm basically looking for advice on this stuff. Does it matter if im not lifting as heavy and taking this, will it help to repair and build the muscle fibres im tearing or is ther a good chance this will go straight to my stomach?

    Thanks and sorry for the long read

    Wait untill you see the size of what 1250cals is, its two huge scoops of the stuff. Realistically, your only gonna use one scoop in 500ml of milk or water, thats all a shaker can hold.

    Used it once back in my novice days years ago. These days I wouldnt go near a gainer, I just eat loads and loads of good clean food, a much better option.

    Looking over your programme too, Id have to say im not a fan of it sorry.

    Above would be better simply by removing the dross. Not perfect but stick with and try to improve everything. Don't bother with the superpump3000XL -Z or whatever it is your friend takes, just eat more than you'd usually think was enough.

    about Serious Mass,jus started taking it and was wondering how much to take a day..it says 2 scoops 3 times a day but that seems an awful lot+wouldnt last very long. also how much weight should you put on?
