For you guys that have trouble gaining wieght, you may want to look into some of this stuff. I just got myself up to 200lbs and I will be cutting soon. Taking these as well as eating about 5x per day really made a difference. I also have been trying to sleep 8hrs/ night. Your muscles grow outside of the gym when recovering, not in the gym.

I started going to gym actively back in February. I've made good gains and gained a small amount (~5lbs). Problem is there are plenty of people I see who are literally twice my size (like in mass) yet I do the same/on par weight for workouts. My brother, older than me, like two inches shorter, little heavier, only beats me on some chest stuff not by alot though ( incline/decline/flat bench) everything else I do the same weight if not a little more than him. Yet he's got mass to him.
Like my biceps are tiny compared to alot of people but I do the same weight as them.

Anything I can take to help me gain mass in my arms/chest/legs? My whole life I've been a skinny twig and now I'm finally filling out but not like I want to. Everybody notices etc but I just want to fill out more. I do take in about 30-35g average daily of protein plus many vitamins etc etc. I do chest/tri's on Monday/Thursday. Legs/shoulders Tuesday/Friday. Back/bi's Wed/Saturday. Sunday off.

This is going to be long post lol I just read your first post. FYI so some of this stuff is probly all ready coverd.

The problem for you is your a ECTOMORPH, with that is it's hard to gain but not impossible.

First of all how old are you? How much is your current weight? What is your goal wieght? Are you suplementing at all?

A: You need more protien for a ECTOMORPH you need at LEAST 1.5G of protien per day. Work out or not.

B: You want to try and be in a anobolic state the majority of the day. If your not your body is using the muscle you've gaind as a energy source, & proteinsynthese is not possible unless your in this state. (proteinsynthese=muscle growth)

To do this

eat as soon as you get up

eat something every 2-3 hours 6-7 meals a day.

C: Pre workout and post workout meals =SUPER Important

Post work out should consist of 20G casein protein (slow digestive) 30G Whey protien (fast digestive) and about 50-60G of slow digestive carbs (brown rice/oatmeal/whole wheat bread)

Post workout meal Fast digestive carbs (white bread, white pasta fruits), 60grams 40-60G of why protien.

If you reply to this I'll suscribe, also feel free to PM if you want me to ***** your work out regime.

Those execises are great but you have to associate set/rep range for them to have a specific affect. & corrected you on 1 lol

 

[deLeo 10+ year member]

oh and triceps and chest on the same day is push/ push fyi

uh no its definately called the push/pull method... you push in a bench press and pulldown with tricept cable pulldowns. unless you are one of the noobs in the gym who get all up on the cable and pushdown not using ur tri's at all. hince the name PULLdowns

I think its called tricep extensions and yep I am noob to working out. Maybe you are thinking of a lat pulldown? Guesss what muscle you use when you are benchpressing besides your chest and shoulders yep its your triceps.

dude you can eat your weight in protein, but a lot of it just goes to waste. you probably knew then, you should probably talk to a trainer.

It only goes to waste if you stuff your face at the wrong time Pre and post workout should consist of about 60% of your protien daily. Thats probly within a 3 hour timeframe and usally almost none goes to waste.

no,

are you this freaking stubborn that you do not realize you are pushing there. I don't even know why they would call that a pulldown, but I guess since your hobbies are bodybuilding you know more than the rest of us. Triceps are worked by extending them away from you which is pushing , biceps you bring toward you which is a pulling method.

Man, I would hope you gained some quality mass with the price on that stuff.. I have never taken anything other than creatine and protein.

However I am looking into a prohormore for my bulk this fall.
