You need to incorporate your diet, training, and supplements.Im only 16 so i only take protein shakes as i barely have anything to eat at my house so i needed something. When i just 15 i was benching only 95 lbs.(never lifted and had terrible form). But now im turing 17 in jan. and im becnhing 260 now and only weigh 150 pounds. When i started i was 127lbs. but my workout was i worked out 3 times a day, so like 6 hours total with back and bi's and shoulders one day, chest and tri's and then i did legs and ran. 3 days a week i worked out. but then people started telling me im working out way too much andi ll hurt my self. So i only work out for 2-3 hours a day but im not noticing any gains in my weight. I dont really care about getting that much stronger as i am a receiver but i want to gain weight. What can i do to help me bulk? I tried doubling my calorie intake,drinking more protein,eating peanut butter and nothing has worked.
thnk you both for the input. I will try this routine starting monday. But the only reason i do cardio is to stay in shape for football season. It starts back up in May and for condonitioning they do 30-50 110's depending on how good the practice was. So i would just like to get a head start^I wanna add a couple things to this post...
the workout split Stang is talking about is a good one, but its not the only one... i like to seperate pushing and pulling excercises into seperate days, and i've got a single day devoted to my shoulders because i work the hell out of them and it shows. As you progress you'll notice that some muscles are alot easier to grow than others... on me my back and biceps gained mass if i even THOUGHT about working out. my chest and legs, on the other had took serious work. When you see things like this happening you can play with your split to shift more focus onto hard to grow areas.
Depending on your metabolism, cardio may not be necessary... it sure as hell ain't for me lol.
for building muscle, you need to focus on the main excercises that work many muscle groups... deads & squats for the legs. dips and bench for the chest, tris and shoulders. pullups/chins and barbell rows for the back and biceps. and, finally... standing military press for the shoulders. These are all great excercises that contribute a great deal to building mass...
^ i doubt its the creatine.
personally i sweat my *** off on leg day (because first i do squats... heavy and low... then deadlift... which is also heavy, then leg press to add insult to injury... before moving on to calf excercises...) i do leg day with 1 minute rests between sets, just enough time to change the weights really. Its an *** kicker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
the other days i usually don't sweat at all...
no, seriously, its not the workout, its definatly something else. and the only thing thats changed is the creatine. its unbelieveable how much i am sweating now compared to like 2 weeks ago^ i doubt its the creatine.
