<p>4 steps to gaining weight. </p>
<p>MUSCLE MILK!!!
HGH!!!
PROTEIN!!!
POWER BARS!!!</p>
<p>It’s that simple.</p>
<p>I’m like 6’ and weigh about 166 pounds. And I am not fat or chubby or any of the non-listed. I have a very low body fat count and can bench like 140. Maybe CC isn’t the place to seek help with workout plans lol. Haha. But what you need to do is look at your current diet and see what is missing. Try eating more protein with a higher whey. So avoid protein foods that take forever to breakdown, cause it won’t be affective. You need your protein straight after a workout when the muscle fibres are still torn. If you want size then do higher weight and less reps. Also get into pullups. I started doing pullups when I was like 15 and got like super ripped and big (I have stopped now to focus on my college app and EC’s). Also never forget cardio, it’s not only for losing weight, but also makes your body better suited for weight training.</p>
<p>Try avoid anything with creatine and anabolic (legal) enhancers etc. Although their short term effects are min, no long term tests have been done due to the fact they are kinda new (15-20 years).</p>
<p>Some people just can’t gain weight. Don’t feel bad. I’m 6’9 and like 165. I can eat an entire horse, and nothing happens to me.</p>
<p>aside from getting super sweet horse powers…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that doesn’t seem like a lot for a max…</p>
<p>Right there with ya bud. I’m 6’1", 135. I could eat every animal in a farm and not gain an ounce.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No offense to you, but that’s a pretty bad max. You max ~25 pounds under your actual body weight? I rarely lift due to being in season for all 3 sports seasons every year and I still max 20 pounds over my own weight; in comparison to other kids on my team, I’m pretty weak.</p>
<p>^^I was under the impression that his stat quote was in the vein of “Observe my feeble scrawniness and pathetic lack of strength! You’d best seek advice elsewhere, for you shan’t find a credible source here!” especially considering the “Maybe CC isn’t the place to seek help with workout plans” bit.</p>
<p>Couple of other things:</p>
<p>The “window of opportunity” must-consume-protein-immediately-after-a-workout thing is a myth. Or more of a garage door, really.

<p>Pullups are excellent as a back exercise, but they should be used in addition to the big three (squats, deads, and bench).</p>
<p>Lol @ the 4% BF kid. Pics? Stage-worthy bodybuilders with freaky insane striations and vascularity just barely get down that low. My guess is that you’re closer to 8 (commonly seen as the aesthetic min for most people, or thereabouts, since under that most would think you icky).</p>
<p>I think a few of you might be overestimating your caloric intake. Have you carefully measured and quantified everything, or are you going off of guesstimates? Unless you’re doing an imperial ***<em>ton of cardio, you’re *not</em> eating more than the 250 lb behemoths making gains on their meticulously crafted 3500-4000 calorie diets.</p>
<p>I actually recorded everything (#s from the boxes) I ate for a week or so during the summer because of boredom. Avged out mid 3000s but not with the healthiest of foods though. It’s not hard reaching 3000+ by just eating processed food or Mc Ds (don’t you just living alone during the summer?). Just really unhealthy.</p>
<p>Those behemoths’ diets are as you said, meticulously crafted and much healthier than what I usually eat anyway.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps, though the “166 with very low body fat” sounded a bit like bragging to me. At least it doesn’t sound particularly skinny, thus implying a certain amount of muscle.</p>
<p>Thats not my max. But if I do free weights, then thats what I would just do a few sets of. I dont like weight training.</p>
<p>LOL @ 4% body fat.</p>
<p>^Especially when combined with the height/weight. (5’10" 155 lbs)…</p>
<p>Oh well. It was probably just a flippant guess.</p>
<p>Who said that they had a bf of 4%?</p>
<p>BTW why is being 6’, 166 with low bf count bragging? :P</p>

</p>
<p>Because if all that weight isn’t fat then they’re implying it’s muscle?</p>
