Advice on gaining mass

Why not just eat food like a normal person?

 

What do you mean "gain size" to box...?

Id box first and see how you feel at a natural weight homie.

 

Follow this simple regimen and you will get stronger and bigger. Guaranteed.

1. Eat
2. Eat
3. Eat
4. Lift
5. Eat
6. Sleep

Repeat

 

Careful what you spend your money on.. A lot of times, you are buying a simple carb.. Mass xxxxxxxx. Is going to have something like 40+ grams of protein and 400+ calories worth of some cheap carb/sugar, likely Dextrose or something similar.

You really want dextrose, then just buy it, or go to a brewery and buy brewing sugar, add it to a pure protein shake and save a bunch of money.

Otherwise, its good to eat meats, veggies.. cheap carbs are good immediately after a workout with a whey shake.. But the bulk of your calories should be whole, nutritious foods.

Meats - Steak/chicken/fish/egg whites/whole eggs
Veggies-spinache/arugala/red lettuce, squash, tomatoes, carrots, beets.
Fruit- Bananas, blueberries, kiwi, papaya, pomegranite, acai
Dairy- Milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, favored cheese (not too much).
Carbs- Quinoa, yams, beans, brown rice
Fats-flax oil, fish oil

Then you can supplement other things, like multivitamins, glutamine powder, Leucine powder, creatine, protein powders (whey, egg, casein, **** soy), Spirulina..

Measure your intake, space it out through the day, get the correct proportion of protein to carbs to fats.

 

Dude, your an ectomorph, and young.. You are going to need to eat a lot.. Eat pretty much whatever healthy foods you want, and eat as much as you like, and then some more.

 

Eat plenty of protien and train heavy weights for low reps per set(between 5/7 reps).The guy further up the page probably has the best idea though.Box first then see if you still feel you need to add size.

 

Boxings not about looking good and having mass. Mass just makes you heavier. Im 6'1 and am gonna weigh in at 152-155 at a fight this March. I can bench max 265, and squat max 335, and that was like half a year ago. Lift for strength, not mass, so higher reps, like 10-15 each set. I take only two supplements, a multivitamin once a day (GNC Sport for men), and a protein shake once a day (Isopure Perfect), normally with breakfast. Its about 200 something calories, 0 fat and 0 sugar, yet really high in vitamins and minerals and 50g of protein. Only negatives are that it tastes like a shoe (with water), and cost 45 dollars a tub. Your buying XXX mass **** though which isnt cheap either. Dont do creatine either, thats just putting water in your muscles and adding water weight. You want lean muscle weight. Eat peanut butter and drink milk...

 

How can you possibly know this without knowing what the guy eats daily?

 

Everyone knows everything on the interwebz... duh. :nono

 

Huh? :huh

 

Clearly.

 

If you're lifting for mass, lift smaller reps, like 3-5. For strength, lift higher reps, 10-15.

 

Complete BS. Lifting progressively heavier weights makes you stronger. Eating more along with lifting progressively heavier weights makes you stronger as well as gain mass. By heavy I mean at least 80% of your 1 rep max.

 

eat about an extra 400 calories on your food intake make sure your diet is about 30% protein 60% carbs and 10% fat
