looking to add some weight

[HidalgoGT]

Muscle milk FTW!!!

With some nitric oxide and hydroxycut and testrogrow hp
To bad ya live in johnstown scottie I am starting back to the gym its more fun when you have someone pushing you to lift more.
I like doing curl max outs. start with the curl bar and like 10 pounds do reps til you cant lift anymore. add 5 pounds to each side and do the same keep adding weight and lifting til you cant lift it at all. Arms arent worth a shit the for a lil while afterwards.

hydroxycut FTL. its all recalled.....liver failure I believe.

So does beer but they havent recalled it yet. They sure as hell better not either lol. Ever read trim spa warnings? May cause choking drink lots of water while taking it lol. Though I love my muscle milk in vanilla. Shit is addicting it tastes so good.

yea that what sucks about going to the gym myself i dont really have anyone too push me its worse now that the college is out i am usually the only one there

[sutyak]

Same as gmkillr said. Lift heavy.
Go to muscle failure every set.
I eat around 7-9 times/day and have no problem gaining muscle when I try.
I don't agree with only eating 3 times/day.

These protein shakes you guys are talkin about, where do i go to get some?

GNC, walmart, sams club, vitamin world

[silvernotch]

Get married,thats good for 40lbs but it takes a few years.

GNC, walmart, sams club, vitamin world

GNC brand whey is pretty good stuff, they usually have it on sale all the time so no need to get the gold card. They also carry Muscle Milk and while you're at it you might as well stack it with some Cell-Tech! That stuff is like Roids in a bottle!

.... we can probably start a new thread for supplement suggestions, everyone has a secret formula. But remember supplements do not make a difference if you're (A) not working out hard enough and (B) not eating right!

[Rio94gt]

Right now at GNC all of their brand stuff is buy one get one 50% off. I highly recommend the GNC AMP Performance Wheybolic 60 Protein (60 grams of protein per serving). Mixes really good and tastes good (Chocolate). Does not make me feel bloated and does not give me the shits.

this is my suggestion to u.

lift like gm killer said.
how ever do only 4-6 reps and on ur 4 or 6 rep it needs to be all u can to do it but u need to complete the rep. stick to the basic exercises dont bother so much with the smaller more specific movements.

as for diet
in the morning eggs, eggs and more eggs at least 5-6 more if u can eat them. cant push that enough. also have a simple carb like a banana this helps to throw the body back into a annabolic state, then u need to take in ur complex carbs to keep u going through the am so have a cup of oatmeal. this is very filling so it maybe rough taking it all in right away but u need all of it.

next meal chicken brest 7-8 oz of it. and for ur carb intake a cup and half or brown rice.

for me the gym comes next after my first 2 meals so as soon as im 3/4 way through my work out ill eat a simple carb again (usually a banana for me) then as soon as im done with my work out im hammering a whey protein shake.

next meal have 7-10 oz of orange roughy fish baked or grilled and a baked sweet potato i eat mine plan but with u being a hard gainner u can hammer the brown sugar and cinnamon and butter if u would like.

next meal more chicken and more brown rice

just before bed have a casein protein shake this is a slower digesting protein and will feed u for roughly for 6 hours while u sleep and help to keep u anabolic through the night also a couple spoon fulls of peanut butter the fats in the peanut butter are good for u and very calorie dense and are good source of protein

also if u can take them down have 2 or 3 peanut butter and whole wheat bread sandwiches through out the day for snacks. if u can eat the natural peanut butter its a little bit better for u. i cant eat it though i eat the reduced fat crunch jif i like it.

with a diet very simalar as stated in 3 months i went from 228lbs and 17% body fat to 243lbs and 12.8% bodyfat. im not a hard gainer so i had to watch what i ate. my carb intake was a touch lower than above cause i knew i could pack the weight on just wanted it to be good weight, i also do cardio 3-4 days a week as well which i do not suggest for u, good luck

Way to much work involved here .... just eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat bread 5 times a day, drink 6 16oz Iron City beers with a box of Shop-n-Save bakery chocolate chip cookies for dinner! You'll be like 300lbs in 5 months!

No seriously very good advice here! But try to only eat the egg whites with your eggs and more eggs

[sutyak]

Don't let people overcomplicate this for you.
Building muscle is nothing more than tearing down muscle so it builds back stronger and repeating that cycle.
Proper nutrion comes into both the tearing down (by weight lifting), and building it back.

Stick with healthy foods relatively low in fat and sugar. fastfox91 has some good recommendations.
Eat some form of protein (like a shake) within 30 minutes after your workout.

Brand of protein powder doesn't mean squat. Except for the Wal Mart crap. It's terrible.
Optimum Nutrition and GNC are together now, so the GNC brand is made by ON.
I pick my protein based on whatever is on sale at the time on GNC's clearance rack.
My personal favorite based only on flavor is Nitro Core cookie's n cream.

Oh and get plenty of rest.
You really only need to work one muscle group a week.

Well i have been working out since i started this thread and have taken all your guys help and it is working. I went home the last week and my family couldnt believe i actually gained weight and some muscle. lol hahah... but i got into a dilemma, the gym i was going to shut down last week and i have been doing stuff that i could at my house while i been searching for a replacement gym and the only one i found i cant get to soon enough and do my work out so got to figure something out that will work with my house and my house is very small and right now im limited to what i can do( push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, use of dumbells, and using a curl bar... but really hurting with no leg machine and no bench press) So i need some tips or pointed in the right direction for a good home workout or even a good DURABLE and SAFE weight bench that could maybe fold up and not take up my whole living room.. Any suggestions?

[Viper_ed]

I've heard of people adapting to their enviorment, but to have the house become small like you has got to be a 1st!
