  This thread is to relieve those paranoid feelings of a gym newbie who is afraid of getting "too big".
  
  1)Big bodybuilders you see are usually professional status.
  
  2)They have trained for more than a decade(most of them)
  
  3)Many used steroids and other aids to achieve that size, i am not denying that not using steroids wont get you big.Just that not as big as those who juice.
  
  4)Unless you are willing to eat 200-300g of protein a day, 400g+ of carbs a day.
  
  5)Train as much as 3- 4 times a week and do cardio(swim, run, jog etc) 2 hours or more a day.
  
  6)Can afford to really sleep a lot
  
  7)Willing to spend a lot of money on food or basic supplements(creatine, whey protein, health oils etc etc)
  
  8 )have damn good genes**
  
  9)You cant become Ronnie coleman or Dennis james overnight.
  
  The most important are points 5) and 7).Most people dont even fulfill those criterias in the first place and talk about being afraid to get big
  
  **even with good genes, point 4) still needs to be fulfilled.

  no one is asking you to eat at one go.Seperate it throughout the day.

  Muscles grow through food and sleep not in the gym.The gym is just to stimulate the muscles thats all.

  yea lar, thats why..
  
  dont ever think of becoming big unless you have tons of dedication and willing to spend money on food instead of other things.
  
  i meant to eat it throughout the day.Even i cant finish 3 plates for a big sized guy.

  I MUZ AGREE WITH THE POINT MUSCLES GROW DURING SLP AND EATING OF FOOD AND OF COZ RESTING
  
  FOOD IS ALSO IMPT AS I THINK U MUZ EAT THE SAME AMT OF PROTEIN U HAVE OF YOUR WEIGHT
  
  THAT MEANS IF I AM 65KG, ROUGHLY MY WEIGHT IN POUND IS 130, SO TO DEVELOP GD MUSLCES, I MUZ EAT AT LEAST OR MORE THAN 130GRAM OF PROTEIN PER DAY
  
  BUT THE WAY OF EATING SO MUCH PROTEIN PER DAY IS EXPENSIVE...
