Thread: Best thing to use to gain 15-20lbs????

try food and lots of it eat every 2 hours clean pro source and complex carbs

Lots of protein and healthy fats.

See my sig for EFA. I knew 6 footers that weighed less than you, so dont feel too bad.

Supplement your food intake with more FOOD!!! Eat! EAt! EAT!

Eat like a pig, and before you sleep eat pizza, bread or low metabolizing food.

What helped me gain was the Meal replacement shakes (Protoplex), i taked 3 a day and eated 3 more foods + a snack before bed.

Gained 12 pounds in 2 weeks this way.

Yeah 12 lbs of Fat

Train heavy and eat alot of quality calories. If you cannot eat that many calories than try adding some shakes or MRP's in addition to your meals.

20 lbs = 70,000 calories

That's a LOT of food. Follow advice like everyone says. eat from clean sources, and lots and lots of it.

Increase protein intake, increase lifting, increase EVERYTHING. Us fast metabolism guys have to eat a ton to gain weight.

Dont forget water

Obviously food.

Since he posted this in the supplment forum, a good "weight gainer" powder might be helpful to get in the extra calories.

FOOD IS THE UTLIMATE DRUG

As Prince said, a good weight gainer can certainly aid in the process of getting bigger b/c you can drink alot of your daily calories. I made tremendous use of weight gainers in the beginning. You can also throw in some creatine for some quick extra weight through water retention in the muscle.

I agree with all of this except increasing lifting. By doing this you will be burning more calories during excersise. I have trained several guys who are hard gainers that had more succes by cutting back to weight training 3 times per week vs. 4-5. Remember you do not grow in the gym.

only 3?

3 is enough for lots of people, not for someone on drugs but you can totally get what you need done with three bro, like bigswole said you don't grow in the gym

well

i'm nautrally skinny and i'm tall, i struggle to put on muscle

i did 3 times a week weight training over the summer (as I was told that it would be enough for me)

However I seriously struggled to make progress, I was on this system for a month n' a half, with creatine and eating large. I really saw little gains. I was pretty innactive over the summer apart from the weights... maybe if I had a really busy lifestyle 3 times a week would do, but next time i'm bulking i'm going to look at 4 or 5 day splits

I feel a weeks gap between training a bodypart is not enough for me, due to previous experience of training routines

peace

FOOD FOOD FOOD,,,, and add N LARGE 2 between MEALS !!

like 50 Grams of protein and 700 Calories per shake !!!!!!!
