I'm a firm believer in keeping things as SIMPLE as possible, unless you have some kind medical issue (s) manipulating your body weight is rather easy it just takes patience. For hard gainers meal replacement shakes are a pretty quick short cut to calories. Check out eBay and such sources and you can find great deals on…

Check out the Protein Factory online, they have some pretty awesome unflavored protein powders with no fillers. If you're having trouble getting enough protein simply add a scoop to just about anything you make and you won't know the difference.

Different things work for different people, if you do a little home work up front logging really isn't necessary. I've always been a mass monster maintaining my weight in the 230-240 range while keeping my body fat under 20% so not as tight a line to walk as some.

You can make plenty of gains by adding just enough calories to go from a 6 pack to a 4 pack, anymore is just more you'll have to lose in the end. Normally I'd suggest keeping things simple however…

Relax and take a breather. Unless you're into fitness/bodybuilding competitions or something similar there's really no need for breaking out a food scale, your diet is super easy to figure out especially with a site like this. The first thing I do when I notice myself hitting a plateau is take a week off (in most cases…

In my pre-deployment, injury free life I maintained a weight of 235-242 and kept my BF under 15%. It seems as though everyone is looking for a complicated answer and it's really not complicated at all. Depending on your lifestyle and schedule you may have time for a variety of activities, however, my life is rather full so…
