Gaining Pounds The Modern Way

To gain weight you have to have more calories in than calories out. PERIOD!

Bodybuilders are masters of getting fat in the off season and taking lots of drugs to compete. Relying on them for nutrition is ridiculous! Every year 4-5 bodybuilders die from diet complications during contest time.

Look at Michael Phelps, he eats a CRAP LOAD of food, including fast foods and chinese food to get in enough calories to support his training.

Old school bodybuilders and powerlifters used to drink a gallon of milk throughout the day to gain weight and size. I would suggest trying that. Breakdown for a gallon of milk.

Skim Milk - 1280 calories; 0g fat; 192g carbs; 128g

Guarantee that is cheaper and healthier than buying a whole bunch of supplements that you don't know what's really in it. The other thing about those supplements at GNC, etc. is that the bodybuilders don't actually use them. Bodybuilders get their size through chemical enhancement that is not bought over the counter at the mall.

 

I do it every morning :goodIt´s not the best way to gain weight but I´m not interested in that. I eat as much as I want and although I´m not as heavy as some people would like to be I feel great.

 

Forget bodybuilders(although they are insanely educated in nutrition) and lets just go straight to the Sports Nutritionist who sells the stuff.

The owner is a ironman and dietician, all the supplements are engineered for performance over various sports. Sure you'll need knowledge of boxing nutrition to be a boxer and they won't be experts in that field but supplements engineered to concentrate and enhance the nutrition in athletes.

You're living in the stone age if you think the world class fighters going up in weight like david haye would choose a fkn banana over a premium vitamin stack. Supplements don't replace food but just concentrate its useful properties into simple portions.

Highly useful creatine is found in meat. To get the amount you'll find in the powder form you'll surely need to eat a cow.

 

Creatine overloading, doesnt do the reproduction organs any good at all. Once in its very hard for it to get out, it causes spots I wonder why.

 

modern society doesnt have problem putting on weight, its usually the opposite


just eat a lot. protein shakes are fine they wont hurt you. but i mean other than that just eat a lot. Oh and dont bother with the "mass gainer" or whatever powders. All they are is protein with carbs (sugar) thrown in and its a lot more expensive. Get the plain protein powder and mix in some oats and fruits and stuff.


Every once in a while some knob head brags about eating pizza, ice cream and all kinds of junk for their weight gain phase but I would try to eat clean. That will just make you sluggish for your workouts and there is no need to take in extreme amounts of fats

 

They use them and if they get to a high enough level they get sponsorships so they get them for free. Thing is all that stuff gets very expensive and a lot of it is debatable if it helps much at all or if product X will help enough that its work 40 dollars a month for. Of course bodybuilders are using all kinds of illegal chemicals but they use the legal supplements too.

 

Clever post there scrap.

Ever tried tribulus though? Also affective on the reproductive organs.

 

The key is protein protein protein timing timing timing. In other words, the content and timing of your meals is paramount. Make sure to eat a couple of hours right before a workout and immediately after workouts/training sessions. There are plenty of energy bars packed with protein that will aid in muscle recovery and assist in the muscle building/weight gaining process.

 

try boiled eggs. have them as snacks all the time.

 

First of all how old are you dude. I know that when I was 17 years old a did eat like a animal and hardly gained weight at all. Like three hot plates for dinner, a bag of doritos before I went to sleep, at leatst a quart of milk a day, orange juice, sandwiches, And that is just what I did eat after I came home from school.

Nowadays I am 26 years old and I don't even eat 1/3 of what I did eat then and no matter how hard I train I always carey a good amount of bodyfat with me (and I don't even drink).

So really if you are a young guy trust me the weight will come.


Then again if you wan't to gain weight steak, protein shakes, creatine, and carbs like rice and stuff on top of A LOT OF HEALTY FOOD will do. Like salad, eggs, chicken, rice, potatoes, banana's, yoguart, milk.

Protein shakes, and creatine work if you use on top of a lot of healty food. They are not healty but then again working out really hard and getting punched in the face are not healty anaways.
