So you'd recommend to gain weight, ya?
Would that burn fat and build muscle too?
My workout consists of weight lifting (upper body) 3 times a week plus 10 - 20 minutes of running, and abs and lower body 2 times a week, would this still be a good workout even if I gain weight or would I need to change it up?
Drop your current routine for a well designed program. Look at full body routines that work a lot of the major muscle groups. Maybe one like the lean muscle diet could be beneficial. But generally, you want to work upper and lower body so you have balance.
In terms of diet, up your calories until you start gaining weight at .5 to 1lb per week. Protein should be around 1g. per lb of desired lean body mass.
But before you do anything, spend a week or two looking at programs and getting knowledgeable.
Thank you, I appreciate it.0 -

I'm with others, you don't need to reduce BF...no way you are 19.5% BF...you need to get on a progressive lifting program and eat big and lift big.
Thank you all, I'll try this advice you all gave me.0 -
I would seriously consider that book. Lou Schuler and Alan Aragon are fantastic resources. You can even look into any of the New Rules of Lifting series.iwishiwasbatman wrote: »iwishiwasbatman wrote: »Thanks to both.

Forget the model with abs goal for the near future. You've got a long road ahead of you.

Get some carbs with that stuff after your workout...and by workout I hope to God you mean "lifting heavy stuff frequently" and not "I just did 3 hours on the elliptical"
No, he is no where near 20% give or take 2%. Also, your advice to add carbs to it does not address his main problem.
Looks pretty soft in the pics.
Good shot of carbs with the whey post WO is just *one* of the things he needs to be doing.

Don't worry about the number exactly. It's not overly meaningful. Just worry about increasing muscle mass since you are at the lower spectrum for weight.

So let me see if I understand. My new goal should be:
• Gain 10 lbs in a month (20 in two).
• Start bulking at my current weight (as I also start gaining weight).
• Bulking will burn fat so I shouldn't worry about that(?).
• Bulking will also gain me muscle.
Is that right?0 -

No one said gain 10 lbs a month
Stop harping on the muscle burn fat stuf . Your goal should be to add muscle.
The whole point of bulking is to add muscle so yes.
Did you read the long link I provided?
Someone said to gain about .5 - 1 lbs a week.
Yeah, I'm still reading it.0 -

Yeah, I'm still reading it.
Which leads to 2 to 5 lbs a month (this includes fat gains). Also, keep in mind muscle gains taper off as time continues. You will be lucky to gain 20 lbs in a year though.
