Gain 25 pounds muscle

id shoot for a more realistic number like 8-10lbs in a year....Id say best your body can physically do is about 10-12lbs a year, with great nutrition and training.... your body can only physically repair and mend tissue at a rate that limits real muscle fiber growth above 12lbs a year... try to stay away from all the supplements they market to people stick to protein creatin, bcaa, basic aminos, avoid the hormont boosters and test crap its not worth the money you pay and most products increase your estragon productions.... and EAT EVER 2 HOURS if possible... its a process be patient....
Out of curiosity, why do you suggest eating every two hours?0 -
keep your body in constant state of growth, keeps your metabolism rolling, I eat anywhere from 6-10 small meals a day.... the every two hours is a suggestion from my personal experimentation, of my nutritional needs to grow and fuel my body for workouts daily, its not something i got off bb.com and follow. Everyone's body is different and may require you to try different things to grow.... id suggest playing around and see what works for you but key is you need to eat A LOT to grow....1

I see. I can't do that many meals.. it makes me ravenous all of the time. I tend to do 3 large meals and with a preworkout protein shake (since lunch is at 11am and I workout at 4 - mainly because I am hungry). I do try to spread out protein for the potential thoughts of maximizing MPS, especially driven to leucine, but I didn't know if you had another reason outside of person preference.0 -

I gotta say, your post was one of if not the most informational so far!!! I'll aim for 8-10 pounds. As long as I see progress, I'm happy. You know? I don't want to be that skinny kid I used to be. I'll add you as a friend if that's cool

That's all you can do.
Who knows? You may end up being one of the ones with excellent genetic potential who can synthesize muscle tissue at a higher rate. If so, pleasant surprise. However, planning for it can just lead to a bunch of disappointment if/when it doesn't happen that way.0 -

Thanks also!! Yeah, I am happy if I gain 5 pounds. It's an improvement. My uncles buddy I bowl with was like "Damn have you been hitting the gym" so I guess I'm improving. And I'm also trying to focus on calisthenics. Thanks again! !!

I'm currently running my first consistent and monitored bulk. Presently @ Week 5 Day 7 3k-4k calories
I've actually been having fun with it and admit 1/3 of my diet is the stuff they tell us is bad for you.
I'm 5'9" and started at 9% bodyfat and 168 lbs
Now 10.5% bf and 180. Power is through the roof for my personal status and it's all good.
Just as those before me have said, Just set your self on a meal and snack schedule. I eat every 2.5 hrs with snacks included.
The first week is the worst. Constantly bloated, and nausea. The second week gets easier, And so forth.
Be progressive with your calorie surplus. Each additional week I added 250 additional calories. Reached 3800 and pulled back to 3600 than 3500.
I had to retreat and learn to control my macros a bit better although overall general calories works best for general weight gain.

So I think I'm going to go to the gym maybe 2 days a week and at home workouts other 3-4 days. I'll keep you all updated on my progress in this thread maybe every two weeks if that's cool?0

If you want optimal results you need a structured regimen and not just doing whatever you feel like...2 -
Just for your accountability.... what's your weight gain been since you posted this?0

163.8 now instead of 1611

I mean I sort of have it structured. Like that trainer guy I talk to, he forwarded me a workout list for each body zone and I pick 2-3 for each body zone and do a few sets 3-5 days a week depending on how my body reacts. So later today I am going to do that when I get home from work at like 10:15-10:30

Out of curiosity what do you usually eat ? I'm currently bulking up as well and I have been getting very good results but it just sucks to feel kind of full all day. I usually eat anywhere from 3500 to 4500 calories a day with high carbs and high protein. The vast majority of my meals are healthy such as chicken and rice broccoli, salmon sweet potato broccoli, ground beef whole wheat pasta, mass gainer, snacks etc. I'm honesty been thinking about giving it another approach and start eating more "less" healthy food to get more fat since I'm having trouble reaching my daily fat goals. My fat usually comes from avocados, peanut butter, milk and stuff like that. What are other fat sources that you would recommend ?0 -

Olive oil on your chicken and broccoli. It's probably one of the (if not the) cheapest way to add a bunch of calories from MUFAs.0 -

I would agree. A solid program overload program that is actually structured is a predefined set of moves and progression scheme. Each week you should be able to add additional weight, reps or sets with a goal of progressively overloading your muscles to force adaptations to your central nervous system.
Personally, drop this crap your "trainer" sent, and get a good predefined progressive overload program, like found in the link below.

Gaining 25lbs of muscle in a year is a little too optimistic, me says.
I see nothing with dreaming big, but realistically for a guy your size a 10 lbs muscle gain a year would be better.0 -
I did this for awhile (when I started) just to get calories in "clean". I stopped when I found out I could do the same "dirty".id shoot for a more realistic number like 8-10lbs in a year....Id say best your body can physically do is about 10-12lbs a year, with great nutrition and training.... your body can only physically repair and mend tissue at a rate that limits real muscle fiber growth above 12lbs a year... try to stay away from all the supplements they market to people stick to protein creatin, bcaa, basic aminos, avoid the hormont boosters and test crap its not worth the money you pay and most products increase your estragon productions.... and EAT EVER 2 HOURS if possible... its a process be patient....
Out of curiosity, why do you suggest eating every two hours?
However when I was competing and pre contest dieting, I ate several small calorie meals so I wouldn't be as hungry.

Not to mention, THERE ARE NO BACK EXERCISES in it!!!!!BrianKMcFalls wrote: »Tylerman35 wrote: »Tylerman35 wrote: »Tylerman35 wrote: »So I think I'm going to go to the gym maybe 2 days a week and at home workouts other 3-4 days. I'll keep you all updated on my progress in this thread maybe every two weeks if that's cool?
Is this a structured lifting program??
Not quite. It's more of what I want to do that day. I'm still figuring it out
If you want optimal results you need a structured regimen and not just doing whatever you feel like...
I mean I sort of have it structured. Like that trainer guy I talk to, he forwarded me a workout list for each body zone and I pick 2-3 for each body zone and do a few sets 3-5 days a week depending on how my body reacts. So later today I am going to do that when I get home from work at like 10:15-10:30
This is what he sent

*Resting:

Mon, Tues, Weds, REST
Fri, Sat, Sun, REST
Tues, Weds, Thurs, REST
Etc......
Nothing wrong with any of these exercises, but you're not going to gain 5 pounds (if any) of muscle in a year doing any of that.
I would agree. A solid program overload program that is actually structured is a predefined set of moves and progression scheme. Each week you should be able to add additional weight, reps or sets with a goal of progressively overloading your muscles to force adaptations to your central nervous system.
Personally, drop this crap your "trainer" sent, and get a good predefined progressive overload program, like found in the link below.
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1
When I started I did 5 main movements for 3 months.
Squats
Bent over rows
Dips
Deadlifts
Pull ups
I swear for 3 months just 3 times a week. Every time I tried to do a bicep curl, the guy who gave me advice (a competitive bodybuilder at the time in the 80's) told me I had NO MUSCLE to be trying to isolate yet.

So I'm going to try to develop a workout plan. Maybe workout three on and one off? Go to school gym for quicker and better results. Even if I work that day, go after, no excuses.
All I need to do is look up exercises and also figure out how much weight on the bars0 -

Check the thread linked above and choose a professionally designed workout program. Designing your own plan without knowing what you're doing usually equates to wasting a lot of time spinning your wheels.0 -

Dont try to develop a plan. It will be inferior to a proven well designed program. The list i provided has a ton of proven programs.0 -

I actually just read that and I'll put my email in for the free 5 chapters. And also research a lot online about lifting also

I can't tell all of you how much I thank you and appreciate it. Keep the comments flowing! Now today I can't do to much cause the school is closed and I only have a curl bar.
So for a structure. Would this look good?
Monday - Upper body (chest, biceps, shoulders, back, tris)
Tuesday - off
Wednesday - Core/lower body (legs basically)
Thursday - rest
Friday - Some upper and lower?
Or instead of that should I do Monday through Friday alternating upper and lower body
And maybe core could include back instead of upper body0 -
Pick a plan that interests you and designed by the pros and follow it.1
