Im soo skinny!

[holdenman]

When I was 17 I weighed 54kg's with a 84kg raw bench.

I didnt understand what 'eating' was, I thought I ate like a pig and couldnt understand why I couldnt put on size.

I trained the same up until I was 20 at 175cm and had brought my weight up to 72kg's but still lacked size with a 115kg raw bench.

Last year I had my best gains hitting a 147.5 raw bench at a novice comp at 93kg's and finishing the year at 103kg's with a 166kg raw bench.

The mistake I made in the beginning was eating 5-6 meals a day like a bodybuilder, and after meeting a powerlifter and discussing my eating I made a 23kg gain in 12 months with limited stretch marks which I corrected with zinc.

This weight gain was from this simple eating plan:

Morning: 12 whole eggs, 1 litre mountain dew, 1 V can, 500 grams steak, packet m and m's and mass shake.

Lunch: 500 grams steak, 1kg frozen wedges, 1 cup oats, 1 litre mountain dew mass shake

Dinner: Whole chicken or 3 take away burgers-2 litres water

One and a half hours later: Family size pizza, 500ml's icecream 1 V can

Total cals about 5000

Hope that helps

This has to be a pisstake! Or you enjoy diabetes? Plus all that shit would be around 7500 cals from my rough guesstimate.

3 take away burgers? What are you Shrek? Holy shitballs

[kalahariman]

geez i wander about some advice on this website......please be carefull when taking advice and let commensence lead you. anyperson who recommend that amount of process food, sugars and bad carbs...especially ...v...is leading you astry.

Haha shrek!! On a serious note though, I only ate like that for about 12 months to push my weight up as I have always struggled to gain weight.

The v and the mountain dew isnt a good idea, but that kind of aggressive approach worked for me, as I stated I gained over 20 kilos.

The reason for the big meals was to slow my metabolism, and I got the idea off an article from Dave Tate and also Jonnie Jackson who ate 8 quarter pounders a day over 4 meals along with 2 litres of sprite in one of his off season's.

My eating has changed now, but when my weight refused to budge I cained it.

Never do any thing half arsed.

And three take-away burgers aint much!!!

That diets just gonna make you very unhealthy and very fat. How much actual muscle did you gain?

Fat isn't strong. Strong is strong.

Three cheeseburgers isnt much but i dont think i could down 3 quater pounders in one sitting without blowing my o ring out with the runs hahaha.

Your right in that respect, I had higher blood pressure, lipids, cholesterol and RHR (resting heart rate).

But as I said I only did it as a desperate measure.

I gained 8 kilos of muscle and the rest was fat.

My stats were: Blood pressure: 145/95

Cholesterol: 6.5 (cant remember the total sorry but tri-glycerides were high)

RHR: 102 BPM

Weight: 103kg's

Waist: 39.5 inches

This year I worked to correct those problems resulting in:

Blood pressure: 125/85

Cholesterol: 4.2

RHR: 75

Weight: 96kg's

Waist: 33.8 inches

I weighed in yesterday at the auckland bench champs at 89.2kg's and have retained all my measurements I gained apart from my forearms which were 14.6 and now wont budge from 14.1 cold.

And I had some stretch marks but got fantastic results from using zinc, threr all but gone.

Short answer... No.

haha. You going to lift at the next novice powerlifting comp?

[tomsammce]

no offence with my reply mate, i just think there is smarter ways to do what you did that would have achieved you better results. but if you getting good results then sweet as, im just saying thats an unhealthy way of doing things and even more so if you are using aas in conjuction with that sort of diet. if your gonna eat like that long term you might wanna look at a few things.

na bro, ill start specifically training for the coast barbell one bout 6 weeks before and just do that, try beat my last lifts.

[snoopy]

Cheers mate, no offence taken I was just desperate for some size and was trying something different.

I probaly shouldnt post that on a newbie site lol.

Good luck with your comp, I tried to beat your best bench at the Auckland champs but I warmed up too early!!

Hope all is well with you, I really appreciated the help I got from you and your brazillian mate in the begining it helped me heaps. All the best with beating your total

oh yeah no worries brother! go hard!

[tinytraps]

I once prescribed to that kind of see food diet eating as much as you could forgetting about quality. Went from 70 to 125ish in just over 18 months. Gained alot of fat, didnt get all that strong. Much better off now eating more like a bodybuilder with the occasional cheat meal than having the occasional good meal in a week of cheating.

Hey everybody,

OK so i was gyming 4-5 times a week last year and put on around 5-6 kgs which was still hardly where i wanted to be, I am currently stand around 180ish cm and weighing a mare 69 kg down from the mid 70's due to being TO busy to gym(poor excuse). I am currently in wellington at university and its has been hectic which has lead to no exercise and certainly no gym work. I am setting myself a goal to start the gym again, but need advice on how to eat on a very average diet as i am in a university dorm. 3 shit meals a day(carb loaded).

Also i am looking to build a stack including protein,creatine , multi , fishoil etc etc so advice on what to buy and brands would be much appreciated

sincerely sick of being F**King skinny (rip me to shit about my lack of knowledge if you please if its going to help!)

Ah, I have a metabolism like yours... you need to make sure you eat from when you get up until when you go to bed - every few hours you need good quality carbs and protein - if you eat crappy carbs you won't get far. And if you start missing meals your body will use what weight you've put on for energy!

If you're busy in the day I recommend mixing fine ground oats with protein powder - but go for egg or something slow digesting (whey is quite fast digesting so not ideal during the day). I used to have a large drink bottle and I'd mix egg white powder/cup of fineground oats/apple juice and have that at work when I was too busy on the road to eat.

You'll need to obviously make sure you stick to your gym routine too!
