Damn.. I feel your pain I had all kinds of stomach issues, IBS, colitis, bunch of food allergies and lactose intolerant to top it off. I wasn't holding anything... so yeah trying to gain weight at this point is probably going to be very..very hard for you, cause if your like myself your just not holding anything and its…

^^ both correct. OP figure out how many calories your burning to get thru the day..TOTAL. This will be your TDEE. Since u work in construction I'm going to go ahead and guess your burn rate is fairly high, probably above average. The best way to figure this out is start somewhere 3500 or 4000 monitor your weight for a few…

Definitely get your gut in order first otherwise it's gonna be hard to absorb food and nutrients and gain weight. I had lots of stomach issues. I was lactose intolerant, but it always crept it in thru various food sources and destroyed my digestion making it near impossible to gain weight since I wasn't holding anything.…

Today was my rest day. Not sure if it was needed, but damn that felt good! Mentally feel recharged that's for sure.

That's...special :confounded:

Coffee+Beta Alanine+Arginine+Zinc/Magneseum+BCAA No need for all the extra junk in pre workout crack

A test u can do is on ur next squat set try some negative reps (slow on the way down) observe whats happening, if u feel all the tension on ur quads then not enough tension is being applied thru the entire chain. One tip is on the way down activate ur glutes and hams by engaging them/squeezing them. This will get the…

Your depth is great *kitten* to grass, few tweak you can try that will help stabilize the knee wobble. Focus on engaging your hamstrings on the way down, I can't fully tell by the video but u seem a bit quad dominant..I could be wrong. Your stance looks a bit wide experiment with a bit tighter maybe... different stance…

You seem pretty lean, a slight surplus shouldn't do much damage in terms of added fat for ya. Depends how long you'll be out for, but i would stick with a modest surplus.
-
What was the 3000cal meal plan based on. did your doctor recommended this? Do you know what your maintenance level calories are at the moment?
-
Ya same here. Not really sure where I pulled a TUD from lol
-
My bad lol its TUT not TUD..time under tension, I have info above in my initial post. ie increasing the time to complete your sets (something like 40 sec), working in 4 second negatives, using drop sets on ur last set etc.
-
Ideally I think u need a combo of Volume, TUT and progressive overload, obviously tied with a caloric surplus. That will beat ur body up and force it to grow or go home! lol
-
So MrM27 you have provided no feedback on the details u so sarcastically asked for u just came into the post to troll and add nothing to the conversation..Bravo! If u read my original post.. I kept it brief gave some advice and hinted at some details to back it up. I'm pretty sure we don't need u to be the forum police,…

Good lord u again...Thought u learned last time, if I quote a study.. it's because there is one. Here's yet another study please read it this time. It shows the the variance between the amount of calories burned via NEAT from one person to the next is different: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9880251…

As the others said just listen to your body if it wants to go..go for it. Based on your routine..if anything I would only double up on your weak point body parts, during the week and i would get an active rest day mid week (ie. mobility/stretching/yoga light/ cardio for example). Rep tempo looks good.. if u wanna try a…
-
Squats, *kitten* to the grass. Super set lunges with leg extension for a nice wobbly leg effect lol
-
Rest day = mobility work, stretching, cuzi, steam/sauna room, maybe some light cardio. Rest day is a body-reboot day.
-
Good nutrition advice above definitely determine your true TDEE or calorie maintenance. Your only going to figure that out by doing some testing i recommend what JoRocka suggested, add ~300cals a day run that for 2 weeks and see if the scale goes up. Weigh your self everyday at the same time, cause weight fluctuates alot…

Yuk, no!

While bulking your going to inevitably add body fat, so forget about seeing your abs for now if your goal is gaining muscle mass. BUT... what u can do in the meantime is work on "sculpting and shaping" your abs. Use slow controlled weighted movements to sculpt and shape..dont waste your time crunching away, you'll just be…
-
Right on, I appreciate that! Knowledge is power-
-
Glad to hear! This technique is great for adding on mass, try it with any body part and remember to squeeze like it owes u money throughout the range and to apply progressive overload next time u hit the muscle group!
-
Calorie surplus, increase muscle time under tension, progressive overload.. THE END.
-
Crossfit for burning calories... great! it usually burns a grip ton of cals so that will be great for your weight loss needs, remember calorie deficit is king when losing weight, and crossfit will almost always keep u at a deficit. Pace your self!! Having been in the crossfit circuit for almost 2 years b4 I pulled back, I…
-
+1 as to adding time under tension to gain some mass, ur sets need to last 30-40seconds if ur done in 10 seconds ur moving to quickly thru the movement, that's part one, part 2 is u need to actually activate the glutes thru the movement u may just be quad dominant in movements like your squats. Try this on your next squat…
