Ok i just do cardio and abs in the morning 30-45 mins and then 45-60 mins weights in the afternoon and i gained 8 kg in 2 months just eating 4 raw eggs and sustagen i just use it to buff up its not realy hardcore bodybuilding stuff just helps a little i guess only contains 14.7 grams of protein and 39 grams of carbs take it twice a day.. that seems pretty good to me because im naturaly a realy skinny guy and my bodyfat is 8-9% so is that fairly good or what?

If that 8kg's you gained is pure muscle, I'd say you are either a god of muscle building genes, or just on the juice.
But I doubt it is, it's 1/4 muscle, 1/4 water, 2/4 fat. Or something like that.

And btw.. you shouldn't eat raw eggs, you can get salmonella from those.
Lets see how much progress you will have when you got an explosive diarrhea for two weeks. :mrgreen

Just keep doing what you do, 8kg's is good, if you do have more muscle definition than before, then it's not just fat.

learn to deadlift, squat, do pullups, dips, overhead presses, and bench presses.

these exercises are hard as hell and stimulate your skeletal system to grow regardless of body type...and then get 1.25 grams of protein per lb of body weight.

you are probably experiencing "newbie gains". it is not unheard of someone completely new to weightlifting gaining a lot of weight and strength in the beginning. during the summer in between 8th and 9th grade, i started weightlifting and put on 40 pounds. (40 lbs = 18.1 kg). That means that in 3 months i put on 18 kg, or 6 kg/month. yes some of it was fat and some was water but that is irrelevant - the point is i made better gains than you are making and i either hvae average or below-average genetics.

over the next few months and years, you will figure out just how good your genetics are. If you are a freak, you will quickly surpass others around you. Within a year, you should be very well muscled and strong - it will seem like every time you step in the weightroom, you get stronger. others you know will become frustrated at your incredible progress, and soon they will falter behind you. If you are not a freak (99.999& of the population), gains will become harder after a little while and you will have to vary your lifting programs to still get results (along with eating enough to support muscle growth).

knowing how good your genetics are is irrelevant. you should be focusing on achieving your goal, whether you have good genetics or not. never work less under the false pretense of good genetics, and never use bad genetics as a crutch to explain why you cannot achieve a goal.

also, ditch the sustagen. waste of money and not even a useful tool for building muscle. you would be better off buying more eggs, milk, steak, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, potatoes, nuts, etc and eating more. do not give in the the BS of the supplement industry. 95% of supplements are completely useless/overpriced/cheaper to make on your own. :evil:

I agree. Getting your nutrients naturally is always best. Take the time to learn enough about nutrition to develop a decent meal plan. That includes pre-workout meals, post-workout meals, pre-bedtime meals, and all of that fun stuff. When you've perfected your diet AND your sleeping schedule, if you still want to increase your gains, then you can start thinking about supplementing.

And the only possible issue that I've ever heard of with eating raw eggs is developing a vitamin B deficiency. As far as I know, it's still being debated. I've always eaten raw eggs without any problems.

DR. P-Evil is spot on! When you first start lifting, you wanna perform those exercises 3 times a week until you're more experienced. Then you can start routines working one or two body parts a day etc.
