Hey wepons, I'm currently in the process of ordering some ON products, a few supplements to aid as well as some powder to bulk. My goal currently is muscle strength. Although you put it perfectly: I've got the speed, and can outrun most of the people on the pitch but Rugby is a well rounded game. I can empathise your perspective, WR(?) in American Football run, jump catch. But with Rugby wingers (Rugby's substitute), you've got be able to run, jump, catch for 45minutes straight and take on players 10x bigger than you. (Don't take that as a dump on American Football, I dream about playing that game but due to living in the UK that won't happen, if I had a choice NFL all the way, but anyway) Look at it more as.. I am currently a pure WR but want to be a ... Running Back? Best of both worlds type thing? If that in any way translates. As you said, I do not aim for aesthetics, although any aesthetically changes will just enhance the psychological side of Rugby. As unlike American Football you do not get constant breaks, cardio is going to play a huge huge role which is why I do not want to over bulk. I'm looking through a fast routine to strength. Really need to work on my love for Milk/Oats :P Thanks for your help!

Wow, assassin, you've completely blown me back! Given a whole different perspective of working out and re-focused my original goal, even in the early stages I've already become side tracked by weights which was evident in my trip to the gym today! I doubt I will follow that regime to a T. But I will definitely be taking from it, although it won't give me the best results I will adapt it to my situation. Going to pick up some filler sports in the mean time, most likely football due to the variety in work outs that you get but mainly for the sprints. I think I'm set. Really cannot fully thank you guys for your effort and collaboration of information all in one thread. Really helped, definitely taking all of your thoughts for the ultimate workout regime! Time to see if i've still got it I guess! :) Thanks again! I will post results when I've seen a difference!

Pretty evident you've never used it.. Pretty evident I have, or else I wouldn't be telling you of it's pointlessness. It's been nothing but useful for me, the amount of hit markers I've had in collateral situations drove me to use it. So far I've yet to even have a hit marker on triples. So I'll be sticking to FMJ/Ex. Mags. Or Bling Pro.

Pretty evident you've never used it..

9th Prestige - PC 4th Prestige - Xbox Want a nuke?: Harrier (7) > Chopper Gunner > (11) > Nuke (25) Setup: SCAR/Tar/ACR with Silencer. Secondary: Personal choice; USP/M9 Akimbo. The amount of times they've saved a nuke for me is unbelievable, they're very quick to pull out and incredibly powerful. Perk 1: Scavenger Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro Perk 3: Ninja Pro Equipment: Claymore & Stun Grenades. With this setup it's impossible to fail unless there are variables out of your control - Lag, people consistently shooting down air support etc. KDR Setup: Predator Missile (5) > Harrier Strike (7) > Pave Low (9) Weapon: UMP45 | Silencer/FMJ | Secondary: Personal choice; SPAS12 | Extended Mags/FMJ | this or PP2000 | FMJ/Silencer| Perk 1: Marathon Pro Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro Perk 3: Ninja Pro Equipment: Semtex & Stun Grenades. Ultimate Kill Death Ratio setup, very very hard not to do well with this setup. Alternatively; Tar21/Silencer with Slight of Hand Pro. Pretty generic information, but there are still people out there who are unaware. Edit: Play Headquarters Pro. It's literally.. words cannot describe. Just do it.

Better late than never :)

This is where my problem comes.. I'm not much of a fussy eater but.. I cannot in words explain how much I detest Eggs, Beans and Milk. All three of them just make me feel violently ill upon consumption. The closest I come to milk is generally cheese, which is why I am having such a hard time finding another source that can compete with them, is it time to just suck it up and just... eat/drink them? I know I can't force it, but surely I will acquire a taste for it? As I am yet to find an alternative that can compete. Water it is, after having one just then I realised how full they make you feel as well, which considering the nature of what I am trying to achieve should be avoided :P Routine switch up, god knows why that didn't come to mind :S Simple yet effective! Thanks a lot!

Really? That would be incredible! Thanks, I will start tomorrow! Need to start having proper full meals instead of snacking on crisps and chocolate when ever I feel hungry, which is going to be the biggest contributing factor in my opinion So correct me if I am wrong; You're saying I need to have these protein shakes and other such products, but also maintain a +3,000 calorie day diet separate to that intake? What type of food would you suggest? There's such a variety, a starting block would be nice! Also, what I am struggling with at the moment is what food to eat before and after sessions, there must be a food type, or a certain product that is superior for before and after? Thoughts? Thanks!

Hey! Thanks a lot :) Those Get Ripped In 24 hour adverts are hilarious! You covered a lot of points in the diet section and even answered future questions unknowingly :P I don't know if you're from the UK so this is a just incase; If you do live in the UK could you maybe suggest some of these high calorie foods? In the shops there are so many I don't even know what I'm looking for, as my main priority is to try and achieve the impossible and get some weight on me! The diet won't be an issue, my parents are going to be over the moon when I ask for some vegetables :)! So I hope that'll slowly but surely make a change. Secondly - Drinks? There are so many of them the main one being Lucozade, would you recommend these? I've stuck to the traditional water.. Have you or anyone you known used it with their work outs and seen a difference in performance, out of curiosity. Regarding the work out, it was more because I find them so... boring. It's my least favourite bit of working out and cannot bring myself to create a regime and was wandering if there is a universal one, or an online guide to them? Just for floor excersises such as; Push Ups, Crunches, Sit Ups, etc, etc. Those videos, especially the first one look very interesting and may spice things up a bit! Thanks a lot for your input so far :)

Hello everyone, I have a vast sporting background, ranging from Gymnastics for 4-5 years (In one of Britain's leading gyms), high jump, track running events, long jump, football, rugby - You name it I've competed in it. Now, I've always been lucky in that aspect I manage to pick up sports easily and compete to a decent standard. Then I found Runescape, then WoW etc, the stereotypical sob story. Now, I'm still in good physical shape and have been leeching off my younger years active lifestyle but I can start to see the inevitable decline. This is the only time I can remember not having ab definition and I never see my veins as frequently as I did. Now, my physique has been kind enough to stick around for these gruelling 4 years of pretty much.. abuse. High fat intake (God bless ludicrously high metabolism saving my [wagon]), my main activity being walking up stairs for long periods of time, lack of sunshine, the whole package that gaming comes with. I used to be able to run a 11.8 second 100m sprint. Now I'm scared I will collapse :P I fully intend on playing Rugby, I've been blessed with agility and finesse and have always been told so. I'm just sad that I've wasted all this potential as I am now 17 there leaves a very small window of opportunity to enjoy sport to it's maximum. Now, I see everywhere 'beginner guides' 'get ripped in 4 weeks'. But I'm struggling to find a guide that accommodates someone with an existing athletic physique upon which they can build and grow etc. First off, diet. Does anyone else have very high metabolism? I cannot put on weight if my life depended on it, would protein shakes be the way forward - Also, on this note. What healthy food can you suggest? I usually get my 3/5 a day on average but this is because I despise Bananas and numerous vegetables. Not my fault I just cannot stomach them, can you by any chance suggest alternatives that can compete with their nutritious value? Any other dietary information you could suggest would be welcomed. Lastly, work out. I'm a member of my local gym, have equipment at home. The gym sides of things are taken care of as I will just have to renew my plan to accommodate the changes. But what can I do at home? I've got one of those all inclusive weight machines which have already started to make a difference. But when it comes to push up/crunch routines I am lost! TL;DR - I want to improve on my physique to accommodate my lust for Rugby in the quickest form, money is not an issue nor is time. Cardio isn't an issue, I'm very quick and agile but that means [cabbage] when I have poor strength, the players I will be competing against have been training in the weight rooms for years etc, speed can only get me so far. Thanks a lot for reading! Look forward to your comments.

Hey, thanks a lot! It's these types of things that are going to catch me out. Think I am going to give my old method of: Cutting 2k Yews, Fletching, Stringing them myself. Then purchasing the nature runes (but now I could potentially craft these myself for the top profit). Speaking of which, do Yew Long's (S) Still High Alch for 765gp or so? That'll get me into a familiar situation and a steady income to help aid the payment of all this gear! Not to mention that little boost on the way to some 99's. Thanks again!

:) Brilliant! Thank you very much for all your useful information, definitely going to make life easier when I finally get my computer back (All praise iPhone's with 3G access :P) There's so much to do I had to compile a list :P Really though, thanks a lot! Can't wait! See you in-game!

Thank you very much Geesch! Going to go with your suggestion, adapting to gold restrictions (i.e fury for glory) I will be using the whip on controlled as you advised. Sadly I have 37 Runecrafting not allowing me to make anywhere close to 1million an hour :D, and neither can any of my other skills make a better effort. I think I will train combat for a while, get into the swings of things again as I can't learn much running Fish Spot > Bank > Fish Spot > Bank : ). If there's anything else you'd like to add, feel free!

Thank you very much! Cleared up all my questions and ones I had accumulating in my head as I read along :P Looks like I'll be leaving the Fighter Torso for those rainy days. Just on a side note of the mention of the Dragon Scimitar, is this the best weapon to train strength on? I know you mention a Saradomin sword but that'll probably be out of my price range. Can't wait to get my hands on Summoning, sounds incredibly beneficial! The first quest I'll be doing is Legends! It was my main priority before I quit :D

Thank you for your replies, especially Greekskiller. From the looks of things, Slayer is the way to go! Which opens up a whole new branch of questions (Thank you for your extra information on Slaying Greekskiller - Big help) From my stats, what's the best slayer set I can afford within 33million? (Note; I have full barrows + 33million cash). I hear a lot about fighter torso's, rune defenders (They came out around the time I quit). A full character sheet would be appreciated a whole lot.! Thanks again! Time to hit the Runescape archives!

Hello all, Background I started playing in 2006, until late 2008, but haven't played since then. I bought a membership today and am currently sitting at around 34million. Stats: Attack: 81 Strength: 73 Defence: 70 HP: 77 Ranged: 71 Prayer: 52 Magic: 75 Cooking: 55 Woodcutting: 75 Fletching: 88 Fishing: 56 Firemaking: 64 Crafting: 61 Smithing: 50 Mining: 60 Herblore: 45 Agility: 43 Thieving: 53 Slayer: 40 Farming: 40 Runecrafting: 37 All New Stats are 1 Goals With so many new features I am pretty overwhelmed and have no idea where to go. But my first goal is to regain my previous wealth of 100m (I gave away 70% of my stuff to friends when I left). Now, I have 33million odd to invest, could someone please recommend the best action to take, taking into account my stats. (Please refrain from saying merchanting, not my forte) I've been hardened from obsessive abuse of WoW so I'm game for some mind-numbing grinds. I would also like to achieve some 99's. Can I assume that fletching, cooking, fishing and woodcutting are still the easiest and most cost effective? Lastly; I want to get up to speed as quickly as possible I can see there have been huge revamps to the world map! Is there any short course to getting to grips with the new features? A website, tutorials? etc. Thank you for your time, if there is anything related to this matter you would like to add. I'm all eyes. Thanks again.
