Gaining Pounds The Modern Way

Eggs, meat, dairy, breads. Go all out.

There are affective bulking protien mixes out there that can be blended for you at a premium supplement store but i would only do that if you were truly having trouble eating.

Something probably not worth cheat on.

RDJ good source of info.

 

Weight gain shakes really do work despite what RDJ says.

 

They usually contain things like whey (oldschool, found in milk), fats (from oldschool milk, usually) and milk (oldschool milk). It does not provide a single nutrient because it has been processed to death, so it's pretty much worthless. There would be about a hundred natural calorie dense foods I'd take over it any day. Like oldschool milk for example. But yes eating calories works. If your health doesn't matter I suggest eating a pound of margarine (another factory made supplement void of nutrients) daily on top of the weight gainer shakes.

 

:good

 

spot on

 

yeah, they usually say that because occassionally they'll gorge themselves on crap and then they dont see a difference in the mirror. When you gorge for 1 meal you usually **** most of it out anyways because your bodies like "holy **** I dont need all that! toss it out the back door"

 

I couldn't recommend to anyone to eat lots of meat and dairy no matter what their goal was. Unless of course their goal is to be unhealthy and die early.

 

Why would anyone want to gain weight anyway? To decrease your power to weight ratio? To be above your natural, healthy weight? To be someone else? Aim to get stronger and healthier, so many people are obsessed with meaningless numbers.

How much are you thinking? :think I'm not suggesting he buy a cow....

 

I respect you're old school but you must realize body builders are the masters of nutrition. Very skilled in cutting and gaining weight, even maybe more than boxers.

All you need to do is goto the local supplement store and they can make you a mixture to suit your objective. Such as gaining Lean Muscle Mass.

One of my local premium stores is run by an Iron Man and some Miss fitness Australia *****.

 

Bodybuilders are masters of factory made supplements, their goals do not include performance, just looks. As far as I'm concerned, that has nothing to do with nutrition. But to each his own.

 

Bodybuilders are the master of their diet for a specific event - ask someone to follow a bodybuilding diet for their fight prep and the chances are that they will die in the ring from dehydration. For boxing, it is imperative to follow a boxing specific diet.

This sums it up perfectly. Look for performance and health.

 

Overpriced, utter shite!

Get in the kitchen, raid the fruit bowl and make a smoothie.

This is half the problem with the world and the obese kids that we see waddling out of the bakery with bag full of pork pies at every opportunity. People search for solutions in a bottle - they don't exist! Performance is built in the kitchen, the gym and in bed - if you want more performance, spend more time in the kitchen, more time in the gym and more time in bed. People can't be arsed learning how to cook, or learn about nutrition and how it relates to performance.
