Hey buddies
Tomorrow will be two weeks full since i've been on mac. Before I started I was 62,5 kg and yesterday I weighed 64,7 and I still want to gain some more. I started with 1 tsp a day and as i started with my gym workout I added 2 tsp,taking 1& half before gym and the other 1&half after my workout. Oh well, I still took naps during the day, have an increased appetite and my breasts have had a bit of increase, whether or not I massaged or not, but I ain't seeing more gains as I have expected (butt & hips) I'm wondering if this could be because of my workout, maybe its too intense... should I increase my dosage in order to receive and see more gains? I'm really lost here please help guys, could 1tsp of maca have the same effect on someone who is active as on one who is not? does someone who is active need to take a higher dose to get the same benefit?

One unpleasant thing, I'm starting to get breakouts and I'm not sure if using BC and maca at the same time is ideal I was using it and stopped when i started maca, should I go back on it?

Today I'm not on maca, I feel pretty much the same as when I have taken it, the hunger,need for a nap, and just more breakouts I don't want to stop maca, please help me on how to get more from it

You're doing great! Congrats!! Some people start seeing results in 2 weeks, some people start seeing results in a month. So, you're doing good! In order to help you with your dosage questions, tell me if you're taking gelatinized or raw and what brand so we can look up the dosage label.

As far as workouts go, intense is the way to go in order to gain muscle the fastest, as long as by "intense" you mean heavy weights and not intense cardio. Cardio should be very limited since you're trying to put on weight, and if you warm up on a stationary bike for 5 minutes before each weight-intense exercise, you might want to skip any other cardio for the time being. Once you've added the weight you want, then you can add 20 minute runs 2-3 times a week, as long as you eat MORE calories on those days so the cardio burns the calories and not your body fat or muscle gains.

Low reps, high weight is the way to go. Once you've been working out for about 2 weeks, you can go heavier. Best way to build fast is to make the weight heavy enough to where you can only do 6-8 reps in good form. If you can do more than that, you need to add more weight. FORM IS EVERYTHING though, so make sure you're doing each exercise correctly and planting the weight in your heels, not your toes.

5 pounds (2.27 kg) of gain in just 2 weeks is AWESOME!!! Keep it up! What you're doing is obviously working for you, so don't mess with it. Unfortunately you can't go from flat butt to Kim Kardashian in just 2 weeks, gains take time, and you are DEFINITELY doing it right!
