    When it comes to females that workout, I like those that are generally fit. So a definite big no-no to the females that juice and that look twice the size of me lol.

    Not sure, about 340-360 or so. My current is not all that great, especially if someone has been working out for a long time. I've only been this round a bit over 2 years I believe, so still working up.
    No goal, just my hobby ;)

    lol no ultimate goal here, I just lift because I enjoy it and not to mention its a big stress reliever.:p Although, short-term wise, I'm trying to cut up a bit and shred some bodyfat for the up coming summer. :]

    Hey Grim, how much are you weighing in at?

    Yea, I know how the sickness thing goes :p...Its always a big hold up. But cool beans. Maybe in a few years I'll hit that number lol. Right now im at 215lbs trying to cut down maybe around to 200-205 or so. I'm hoping by my next bulk cycle during the winter time, I'll be able to hit 230lbs.

    Crikey, you're a tank.
    I've never wanted to be that big though, it's too much maintenance calories required for my ectomorph body, at the moment 168lbs is the target, 200lbs would be the maximum.

    How many calories do you consume per day? How much protein/carb/fat? What's your diet & meal plan looking like?

    I honestly do not know how many cals I eat a day, nor do I know percentages.

    I eat until my body feels full, I eat high protein, low/good fat, good carbs.

    I used to be a bit better on keeping up on my food intake, I however got to the point my body simply was not getting enough nutrition. I still wake up a good 3-4 times nightly to eat! :D

    Do many of you drink much milk? Whats the best and simplest foods to eat that help develop muscle apart from shakes and suplements?

    Protein.
    Chicken, turkey, fish, lean steak, egg whites. If you're looking to build muscle, you'll need to consume excess calories from (depending how much fat you don't mind gaining) good clean food sources. So protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Very generally speaking, protein will help build and repair muscle, carbohydrates will provide your muscles with the energy required to work out.

    I don't drink much milk, less than a litre a day. Milk is good for protein shakes to make it digest slower. Water will make it digest faster and so is better suited for post-workout stage when your body is craving nutrients fast. Also, the majority of people are lactose intolerant to some degree, because our bodies aren't really developed to drink milk after infancy.

    x2! bingo

    Being on the very top list of being lactose intolerant, I keep my milk consumption to a minimum. On some nights, I like to drink a glass or two before I go to bed tho just for the sake of taking in some casein protein.

    I don't drink much milk myself, no real reason, I just don't like it to be honest. If I do drink it, it's SKIM!
