Hey Game, You got any original quotes or do you thrive on being a WWF wanna be.

Your stats are impressive, for your size. Crayon may have a stonger bench at a year older than you, but you may have a stonger body part than he does. Don't get discouraged at what people say. What matters is that you have goals and you work hard to achieve them. When you look in the mirror, who do you see? It's you, so be yourself and "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS" !!!

[gopro]

Uggh...looking at that pic now makes me cringe. I feel like a twig in that shot!

[w8lifter]

I think you look great

IMO, if you're on this board then you're probably in better shape then 95% of the population in general, so be proud of yourself. Who cares who is the biggest and strongest on this board..sure its interesting to see where everyone is at, but what counts is that you're staying in shape and striving to improve, which I only assume you are if you put the effort into finding and then posting on this board. (which also IMO is the best one out the )

I'm 36 years old, 5'10", 185lbs, with about 10%BF and can bench press 265lbs. Not bad for working full time and being a father of 5.

I'm impressed by anyone that is putting the effort into staying in shape, which is everyone on this board.

[gopro]

gopro, you got nice size, very ripped. You are no doubt a professional bodybuilder, but I have a quesiton. I am trying to gain weight. What are your tips. I lift heavy, eat 3500-4000 calories a day with about 180 grams of protein. I weight 177 My goal is to gain 10-15 pounds. Should I be consummming more protein, or calories? My strength is not a problem I just want to pack on some more muscle in the next 6 months or so. Any help would be appreciated-Walt

Walter. Take this for what it's worth, but you seem to be doing everything right, except for the protein intake. Recently it has been stated that if you want to make serious gains, you need to be consuming 2-3 gms of protein per pound of body weight. You can check this with TheGame2001, and ask him what the proper calories, protein, carbs and fat intake should be, to gain the kind of weight you want.

[gopro]

Walt...you want to gain more size? MORE PROTEIN....it works! Go between 1 1/2 to 2 grams per pound of bodyweight, but lower your carbs somewhat to compensate. Your biggest protein meals should occur at breakfast and post-workout. Also, a small protein drink in the middle of the night would help.

Remember that all other aspects of BB must be in place...proper training for your goal, rest/sleep, supps, etc.

Let me know if you need more input.

[Thegame2001]

perhaps not the biggest but at 43...i'm hanging in...

[walter]

thnks a lot, I was pretty sure that I needed to double my weight in protein, but it seems so much so I wasn't for sure. Thnks for the tips both of you.

Good Back shot....Rhomboids are freakin Huge!!!

[Charger]

I definitly agree. I doubled my protein intake recently and am amaxed at the difference! The Game2001, I feel old at 39 but you look great at 43!Whats your BF?

[Thegame2001]

no idea about bf, i never have it checked. I just use the mirror.....

[ZONE]

Ok so lets say that at 185lbs I start eating 300grams of protien per day, lift correctly... have a decent diet of say 3000cals...

How much could one expect to gain per month?

After doing this for 2 months then leveling off to say 150grams of protien with 2000cals per day...

Would you keep the muscle gains and maintian OR, lose what you gained and be back to square one in 2-3 months?

[gopro]

Well Zone...tough question...there are so many factors involved in the equation it would be impossible for anyone to tell you exactly how much you would gain. If everything else remains the same, but you significantly raise your protein intake you will notice steady improvements in size and strength.

As far as dropping down by 1000 cals and cutting way back on your protein...of course you would begin to lose some muscle and some bodyfat which will happen any time you restrict your calories. My question is why would you do this? At 185 lbs you should be eating a minimum of 185 grams of protein per day. And, if your goal is to cut up, your protein should go even higher while lowering carbs to try and maintain as much muscle as possible.

[Thegame2001]

I think everyone just automatically assumes you drop your carbs to lose weight and cut up. My carb intake remains about 300 grams a day while dieting for contest.

Its eating clean is how you cut up. Folks eat bad food and actually their carb intake might be rather low except for simple carbs(bread and chips) while their saturated fat is sky high(burgers and such)

I'll eat a clean diet while still taking in carbs 5 out of 6 meals to contest diet. I probably take in more carbs dieting that a sloppy eater does normally.....
Its eating 6 or 7 clean meals, drinking your water, eating enough fiber, managing eating good fats versus saturated fats.

Cutting up is not simply lowering carbs, thats pretty much a myth in my book....too simple.

[ZONE]

I just find it very difficult to eat that much protien everyday. I mean thats alot of food to get lets say 1.5 my body weight in grams of protien.. it almost 300 grams per day. What do you guys do to/eat to get that much protien into your daily diet?
Supp's????

[Thegame2001]

Say you eat 6 meals a day, if you take in protein at each meal thats say 30 grams a meal for 180 grams, add 2 shakes with about 50 grams and your there. Or take in about 50 grams a meal at 4 meals if all you can eat is 4 meals and a couple shakes for you 6 meals and your there again.

[walter]

game- so do I neccessarly need to consume 4000 calories or is 3000 fine?

[Thegame2001]

Walter, figure out how many calories you need to eat to remain at the same weight. If that turns out to be 2500 for example then to gain weight and not gain that much fat I would eat 3500 for 3 days, return to 2500 for 7 days, eat 3500 for 3 days, return to 2500 for 7 days and so forth.....
