Making gains in strength, but not much on size

[Rdub9281]

Well this guy is local and I kno his stuff is good cuz a buddy uses it, but doesn't do me much good when he acts like this. And will do, but just by the way u said time under tension it sounds kinda like what I'm doing. Focusing on going real slow on negative movement(tension) and exploding coming into positive movement.

Will do, was sup 2 start my first test injection Friday, but the guy is being slow. Hopefully start soon and maybe that will help get me over the edge a little.

You have not yet started the diet laid out in post #10, but you are in a hurry to start steroids? And you are 22? Please get your diet sorted out first and give it some time to work.

 

[Rdub9281]

My diet is getting better and better, and I'm not starting today. It'll b a little while, just getting everything laid out.

The man above me is correct. Do your research on time under tension. If you go heavy with low reps and a short time under tension in each set you need to do more sets. Hit a month or 2 with strength training then switch it back to hypertrophy. For now be happy with the strength gains, mass gains will come as you get stronger.

 

[RokSolid15]

Also increase your caloric intake. Eat more carbs, more fats, more protein. You have to eat big to get big.

What's your diet look like now?
Post up what you eat (and drink) today.

 

[Rdub9281]

Today was kinda messed up, I try to wake up and eat eggs for breakfast, but didn't have time. And had a rest day in the gym but played a double header in slow pitch softball 2n so was busy. So this isn't the healthiest I kno, but I could eat cake all day and not get fat so for me bad calories r better than no calories. Had a banana at 7, had a cinnamon roll and a bag of chips from a vending machine at 9, 6" steak,bacon and cheese sub and a bag of chips for lunch at 1130. The other 6" of my sandwich at 330, and 3 wings that my girlfriend was eating. Played my softball games, then ate 3 natures harvest chicken breasts( about a pound) and a good amount of chicken flavored noodles. Drank about a half gallon of milk at lunch, and close 2 a gallon of water throughout the day. Not perfect I know, but I'm improving. I'll get there one day

Thanks, bro. I used this method in 1990 after reading Dr. Authur Jones's book. He created Nautulis equipment and trained Aronold Casey Vitor Franko Sergio ect ect. I was 138lbs and worked out for two hours 5 days s week prior to and couldnt gain weight. After I read sbout this method for the fourth time I finally tried it and within 7months I gained 57lbs on a hrt dose of Test E but only used it for four months . I wss literally gainibg 20-30lbs per cycle. I went from 138 to 195lbs and only trained for 50 - 60 minutes 5 days per week instesd of. 120 mins

Time under tension is something that your focus should def be shifted to if it isn't. Get your diet right. You can do all the lifting you want and it won't matter unless you are getting an adequate food supply. I graduated HS at 117lbs. I started training a couple years after and made decent progress, as most anybody would, but only after I got my diet somewhat on point did I make my way to the weight I wanted to be at.

 

[Rdub9281]

Well ok let's put it this way, I'm the kind of guy that could eat cake and drink pop all day long, and not get fat. I don't, all I drink is water or milk anymore, and eat as much protein as I can. I mean should I throw in junk meals every now and then for calories?

I thought the same as you until I counted how much I ate and trained my body to be hungry and take in mass amounts of food. Do whatever you have to get calories down... make sure u get protein and then go crazy.... chipotle five guys are my favorites lol

 

[Rdub9281]

Haha well that's exactly wut I'm gonna start doing. Counting carbs and protein, and as long as I'm getting as much as I need, I'll put down an entire pizza if I want haha

Sounds like a good plan ... if its hard for you to get fat you will do well.... don't do cardio either

Negged for eating cake all day.

 

[Rdub9281]

I said I could, but I don't. Conveniently, it's still there if u would like 2 go back and read it again! I was just implying getting fat is not a worry of mine. I have a low bf%, just wanting more mass. Actually not much of a sweets kinda guy so that's a plus. And ya the only cardio I ever do is back and fourth from the weights haha.

By the way, you look great. If you want to add size, though, you need to increase your eating. At your age, it is especially difficult, because of metabolism, but also because most folks your age have no clue how to eat properly for putting on size. When I was your age there was no internet to ask about this stuff. You have an advantage, so use it.

Buy the food and cook your own meals, and do not wait on mom to do them.

Try this tomorrow.

1. 8 eggs, one cup (dry measure) oatmeal, two slices of whole grain toast, and a cup of tea or coffee.

2. 8 oz (that's half a pound) chicken breast, cup of rice, spinach

3. Repeat 2.

4. 8 oz chicken, half cup of rice, spinach

5. 8 oz chicken, spinach

6. right before bed, two cups cottage cheese with almonds.

Drink the protein shakes at workouts only.

That's two pounds of chicken and plenty of carbs in one day.

Do that tomorrow and let us know if you can get it all down. Then keep doing it every day for a month, and let us know if you put on any size. Please keep us posted.

Your diet sucks. Try the above.

No offense meant... but do your best to avoid dairy for your protien sourcesince so much commercialraised cattle are pumped full of antibiotics and hormones bcuz of the gmo feed is so unhealthy for the cattle they have to pump em full of shit to keep em alive and producing milk which is full of estrogen.and passed along to you. Estrogen isnt your friend obviously unless youre s teenage girl... Haha.

 

[Rdub9281]

Haha makes sense man, and over the last 3 weeks, I've upped my calories, and started monitoring protein intake. I weighed 144-145 ish, so was trying 2 get 200 grams of protein. I thought I was getting enough but I wasn't, but started counting it making sure, and I've gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks! And for a little guy like me, that's a ton. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life right now
