Try eating 2000 more calories
Why are you trying to gain weight?
Try eating 2000 more calories
For football.
for some people it is harder than others. but you can gain weight, in fact, if i were your trainer i guarantee you would. few tips:
1. consume more liquid foods
2. eat more grain
3. wake up in the middle of the night (if you sleep 8 hours a day, wake up after 4 hours) and consume about 600-800 calories then go back to sleep
But I mean for what? Are you a lineman and you need the size?
You're a young guyand it sounds like you're keeping yourself in shape.Your body will start filling out on its own clock. I don't think trying to abnormally accelerate that is healthy in the long run.
No, I'm a D-back and receiver, but I simply want more size. Gaining weight won't really put me out of shape, I don't think it will affect my sprinting. Weighing more in football helps a lot, it gives you a huge advantage over a person who has the same strength as you and size. People/coaches don't realize that aggression and body weight are more key than how much you can lift. Even if you're not too aggressive to begin with, having extra pounds over the dude trying to tackle you helps a lot. And aggression on the field doesn't always translate to being really strong in the weight room. There's this big line backer we have who's crazy as and hits hard as , yet can't bench as much as me.
I don't think it's healthy in the long run either, it's really ty for me actually, but I'll only be doing this for a few more months. This upcoming season is my senior year.
I try to wat a lot of carbs and protein. A lot of milkshakes and fatty as well.
I never get 8 hours of sleep, I probably average 6 hours of sleep, and I'm not gonna wake up in the middle of the night and do this crap. I'm always dead in school as it is. What I currently do is eat dinner, wait about 2-3 hours, then load myself with more , then eat before going to sleep, which is normally between 11:30-1:00 at night.
This happend to my brother and kind of happend to me -- if you overload it on protien or food in general. You'll end up forming balls or clots of fat that are visible in areas such as your chest, stomach, butt, thighs etc. You'll end up thinking you may have cancer, that's what I did, but the Doctor said I was eating too much fatty foods or just eating too much and excess fat was forming into little clumps. It hurt when I squeezed it, I thought I had breast cancer, but I didn't. Whhhewww.
Alvarez, I would just keep on the cardio and strength training, eat a healthy diet, and not worry about the weight. I just think it's going to be tough for someone your age to try to put on significant pounds, and probably unhealthy if you do.
I'm not really gonna worry about the cardio til mid to late summer, that's something that can be adjusted more easily.
I've realized that my muscles can't in get any bigger (without using steroids). I've gotten stronger, but not much bigger. I think giving your body excess calories from fat, carbs, protein, etc, it makes it easier to turn that into muscle. It has worked recently, the only problem though is maintaining the weight.
wait, how old is Alvarez?
You could always try Creatine, it packs your muscles with water making them look bigger, but studies have shown that atheletes who continue to work out eventually end up with permenant gains in muscle mass.
I've very familiar with creatine, a few kids I know use it. I'm not gonna break my wallet just to have creatine. I don't have a job anymore.
I've tried creatine once before, it really gives you some energy, that's for sure. That day, I was exhausted after a workout, my arms/chest were dead, and my friend let me try a sample of his creatine. I immediately felt no soreness at all and was able to go back in the weightroom and do the same again.
I would stay away from the creatine. It may results in more muscle mass, but I have personally seen severe kidney problems result from it.
Yeah I know, I'm not messin with that .
From what I understand, once you discontinue your use of creatine, you lose your strength and go back to almost where you were before. It's like once you start using it, you can't stop if you want the results.
You can get powder form at GNC stores for around 25 bucks and it wil last you around 45 days. I'd perfer pills though since it's easier to intake. The loading phases and all that is a hassle with powder.
Yeah I hate the powder , I hate a thing of whey protein, that is nasty without a blender. I don't have a blender, so I would mix a bunch of that with a huge glass of milk. That crap would float and be all thick, wouldn't dissolve at all without a blender, and it almost made me puke a few times.
Also, when having that in that form where it's not liquid, more of a guey floating around, it gives you some nasty gas and diahrea.
That's true, but I've heard more cases where people get liver/kidney problems drinking beer/liquor or coffee.
The thing with Creatine is that after the loading phase which is about 3 weeks, you gradually decline your use, but still work out hard, if not harder than before, to the point where you barely take it anymore and stop all together.
I've had upset stomachs and aches because of that resulting in not even being able to work out, because I burp and croak. Other times I lay bombs during workouts, but the bombs give me that edge in finishing that last rep, like a booster or something.
listen people! ...stop wasting your money on supplements. everyone wants a shortcut, everyone thinks there is some magic formula out there that will make you big and fast...well there isn't. at least not anything legal.
just work hard and enjoy life. believe in yourself, all other things will fall into place. btw, if you really want to be a hardcore athlete Alvarez, you just need to work really hard. i use to think, when i was in high school, that i was working hard...meh, not really. i can give you some workouts that would rape you...
IF U WAnna gain wait eat right before you go to bed.
in about 6 months, ive gained about 20 pounds. 6'1 175ish... skinny still? i can still pack on some more...
10,000x more people drink liquor than use creatine, so of course there will be more problems. More people get liver problems from alcohol than heroin, too. That doesn't make heroin safe.
As for coffeee, I'd like to know where your information on kidney and liver problems from alcohol comes from.
creotin makes your penis shrink, dont take it!
