Nice job, coach :wink2:

 

Congrats man. You want to somehow give me that lost weight? I'm 6'1", 145 lbs. I eat like crazy but don't get much weight gain. Sucks. I gotta buy some weights and start lifting.

 

In the morning, 30-minutes before and after your workout. If you want, also at night. Drink:

or you can always go the Muscle Milk route (tastes great)

You can also snack on Peanut butter (ton of good protein). PB&J Sandwiches are the shiznit.

And lift like the wind. You can lift all you want but if you're not feeding your body right, it's all for naught.

 

Awesome job. Hopefully by February 24 next year I can get at least half the results you have.

 

Yeah, I'm 18. I'm a freshman in college and the alcohol flows like water.

 

Give it time. I was like 160 for 8 years. Then senior year of college. BAM. 200. And I'm 6'1" too (now back to 180 tho)

 

1. Protein
2. Protein
3. Protein
4. Protein
5. Free weights

 

You can lift and mix in the occasional protein shake but really that boils down to metabolism. Regardless of how hard you try you likely will not add weight unless you eat excessively (not recommended), lift like crazy (not recommended unless youre trying to make the NFL) or just wait for your metabolism to naturally slow down which will probably happen in your late 20's/early 30's. Go with a good diet and weightlifting but really adding weight is not all its cracked up to be because its harder to lose later on in life.

Too much protein isnt a good idea either. Too much of it will store in your kidneys, harden and could eventually become kidney stones.

1) Free Weights
2) Free Weights
3) Good diet
4) Protein shake 2-3x a week is more then enough unless hes training to be a bodybuilder or the NFL.

 

Great job dude...hope for continued success. :hi5:

 

awesome bro, feels good eh? i was 293. i am now a very light and happy 220.

Its awesome, congrats! I still plan to get to around 205 :yes:

 

Just keep in mind beer usually has protein in it. Granted its not high quality but its more then hard liquor. hard liquor is less likely to add inches to the waistline which is where you do not want to add weight. You can actually measure your lifespan by your waistline...the more inches around your waist the more likely you are to die early.

 

:cry: Why do you hurt me...

 

Congrats bro!

Beer is good. :)

 

yeah but you are like 4 feet tall........

 

You're right; what I meant to do was get Alen thinking in the right direction, rather than get him to over-supplement.

Given the typical American diet, especially for teenagers, carbs (and fat) are in abundance but protein is usually lacking.

I suggest - for hard training with free weights - a small portion, about 10 grams, of good, lean protein 1+ hour before a workout, and a full helping - about 30-35 grams, within 1/2 hour after the workout.

Aside from lean meat, an excellent source for a quick hit is Naked's protein drink. It has the right amount of good protein for not too much money. When you have the time to mix your own, use 1% or 2% milk (organic or at least non-rBST-treated) and Twinlab's powders. They're good quality.

I just joined the local Y and started working out again; rough going at first, like I expected; except that age and knee replacements make it that much harder.

 

Im sorry pops :console: :hi5:

Yes it is! But not every day...:up:

 

stop.lying.to.alen.

 

Ya, just wait for your metabolism to start slowing down and you'll have no prob.

I was like 150 at 17, 210 at 19. Started lifting at like 15, never really made any drastic changes.

All natural, just took my metabolism to slow down a little and mass started to build up.

 

More importantly, you had a good enough mentality to stick with your program. :up:

 

When I needed to lose weight I just smoked crack.

 

Well, congrats Abide, that is quite an accomplishment!

Hmm..1,300 calories per day

BMR for a day is what 2200 for the average adult male?

900 calorie deficit, 3500-4000 calories in a pound

4 days=1 pd

60 pds 9 months or 7pds a month?


Interesting, was 1,300 calories a general guideline?

 

And how'd that work out towelie...ummm i mean Lucky? :tongue2:

Less posting and more running/lifting is the guideline Mr 50,000 + posts :lol:

 

You mean Pookie.

He's prob on his phone at the treadmill.

 

Actually I find myself doing that in between sets and on the treadmill :lol:

 

My fingers are powerful strong..:D

Well, what I've found for myself is if I limit Fat Calories to 50 grams per day the weight comes right off and I was curious whether Abide was seriously sticking to that 1,300 calories per day diet.

Do lift, 5 sets of shoulder presses/shrugs/stiff legged dead lifts every other day.

 

Not so much, ride a bike more often than not, and have switched from Booze to unsweetened Green Tea.

 

From this: :butthead:


To this: :morning:

 

True story Sick, vs the pats I did not have a single beer during the first half, at half time cracked one open and watch the meltdown.

Vs the Packers..Green Tea..we won.

Have to go with the streak..:lol:

 

:spam:

 

Im not lying stoopid, just giving outdated advice that was used for the polish Olympic team in the early 1600's !

 

another sure way to gain weight - have children. when you're stuck eating their leftover pizza and mac and cheese everday combined with the reduction in physical activity - just watch the weight start increasing.

 

Ya but that's garbage weight. Def don't wana start piling that up or he'll be looking to cut weight.

 

wow that awesome..i wish i had your motivation. i need to lose weight badly.

so what do you usually eat for the day? Are you getting this from a book? how you keep track of your calories?
