:pfft: The best advice I got was "never miss a training session and never miss a meal"

"eat every 2-3hrs" "protein and carbs at each meal"

You also need to train hard... So many people say they do, I used to be one of them.. until you understand what it takes in terms of training and work ethic, gains will be minimal.

The closest I've come/most I've ever gained was 5kg in 5 weeks, and minimal fat gain. I ate: 4-5 cups of rice a day, 1 cup of oats, 600g+ chicken breasts and a 2 protein shakes (breakfast and post w.o).

Also another piece of advice guys from the gym gave me: "focus on getting stronger week to week, don't make gaining weight your goal- strength always precedes size gains"

Jigga, even with my special admin powers, I can't see any indication that TheSituation is Boosting. If you're certain of this, feel free to PM me or the other mods. Otherwise, please give the guy the benefit of the doubt. 8)

Noting that 5kg is not all LBM: Was 3kg body water and 2kg LBM- includes connective tissue etc.

Something called hard training Jigga, you should try it some time :pfft:

Classic 2g's. Think Jono was the best at bulking, paid the price slightly but gut huge all the same.

[samoan_muscle]

This is most definately possible.

Hahaha Tom, the comedian ay.. Not taking the piss though, ate a lot and trained hard- I wouldn't say gains a linear though. Just came in spurts. BF still at 21% and BW is now at 87-88kg.

[severe]

10kgs is a big ask in a short time, if it's muscle you want. Aim for a year, and you may just make it, maybe...

are you squatting?

Focus on realistic goals, in achievable timeframes.

[blahman]

hey i know i am asking mostly dumb questions because my knowledge nil. What should i be squatting and is it still beneficial to do squats on the machine bench because when i use the open cage i struggle to balance.Also i tend to get a sore neck any ideas how this could be prevented. Off topic what are the benefits of creatine?

thanks try not to hate on me:P

Balance in squat is a flexibility and warm up thing get flexible first a do some no weight ATG ground with good form they should sort you out. Sore neck harden up use your sweat towel or get a thicker back. Creatine works well for me and for most others - not a magic bullet more helpful to get past a certain plateau
