When I Started:
Sep, 2006
How I Started:
I've been active in sports all my life. But my last year of high-school and my first year of college I was more into drugs and partying than anything else. What really opened my eyes was when I went to play basketball one day and after 5 minutes I was completely winded. After that I signed up for swimming and what was my first weight lifting expierence of my life. Ever since then, I've been hooked/mildly obsessed.
Why I Love It:
It helped put my life back on track. It's something I can constantly challenge myself at and it feels great after a workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
It's more a habit now than a motivated action. I went from pothead to gym rat and havn't looked back.
BB Accomplishments:
It's a double edged sword. I can lift as much as guys twice my size, but i cant put on size. Im a very hard gainer.
HARD GAINER NEEDS HELP! I want too add 20 lbs of muscle but I just can't gain weight.
Goal (Long):
Ultimately I want to be 175 to 185 lbs with 7% body fat. Cutting isnt my problem. I can lose body fat easily, but what I cant do is gain weight. I take Creatine, Whey, Casein, NO, Weight Gainers, I eat over 6,000 calories a day, I take about 3 to 4 protein shakes a day, I've tried about 5 different workout routines. I'm honestly stumped on how to gain weight for myself. I leave an open challenge to anyone who has an answer. Can you help me gain weight?
.45x bodyweight lbs=____ x24hrs= ree_____x 1.5=ree + fuel
Now just play with the fat and carb balance, keep protein at 1.5 x bw in lbs as a constant. Train only compound exercises with a day of rest after each full body day. Do deadlifts, incline bench, decline bench, t-bar rows, pull-down to chest, seated calf raises and military presses each for 3x6-8r mon, wed and fri. do this for 8 weeks increasing the weight of each lift by 2.5 lbs per week.
