You can just get protein supplements with casein instead of whey.

gaining weight & eating question

gaining weight & eating question

Im eating as much as i possibly can. 5 to 6 times a day with snacks and such. I usually feel like i cant move after every meal. I am also eating clean and healthy. Now in the past couple months that i have been eating so much i have gained maybe 5lbs. I know eating is the only way to get bigger, but am i doing something wrong? Any negative effects of eating so much?

btw im about 6-7% bf at 140lbs now, 20yrs old

you are not eating enough

go_duke21 you are not eating enough i feel bad putting so much food in my body as is. I sit and eat as much as my friend who weights 260lbs and eats "a lot"

how tall are you

Opi how tall are you 5'10 - 140lbs skinny but its not that bad

Now in the past couple months that i have been eating so much i have gained maybe 5lbs. I know eating is the only way to get bigger, but am i doing something wrong? Any negative effects of eating so much? Don't worry too much about eating clean and healthy, if you want to put on weight just EAT. Try eating foods that are more calorie-dense if you feel like you get full too quickly. Make shakes. You can easily make a 1000 calorie shake and down it in 30 seconds. Most importantly, if what you're doing now isn't working..change what you are doing.

tell us what you eat in a typical day.

6-7 bf? Is that accurate or are you estimating?

breakfast usually eggs or cereal or oats, then the rest of the time im always eating sandwhiches or chicken/beef with rice/veggies. Ill have a smoothie like once every other day or so. But the bulk of what i eat is like food i make. Doesnt sound like much but its 5-6 big meals. I easily get 1-2x my body weight in protein from foods i eat.

Socrates 6-7 bf? Is that accurate or are you estimating? I was like 6 point something last time i got checked a few months ago. Im gonna go tomm and get tested again (calipers).

I easily get 1-2x my body weight in protein from foods i eat. that's good but even 2x your BW in protein is only 1100 calories. You say you're eating a lot but you also say you're not gaining. So you're going to have to eat more.

Chris3G that's good but even 2x your BW in protein is only 1100 calories. You say you're eating a lot but you also say you're not gaining. So you're going to have to eat more. could you explain the relation? For instance ill have a cup of orange juice thats 100 callories yet 0 or 1g of protein.

amdspitfire could you explain the relation? For instance ill have a cup of orange juice thats 100 callories yet 0 or 1g of protein. sure, 1g protein = 4 cals, 1g carb = 4 cals, 1g fat = 9 cals the calories in OJ are mostly from carbs.

its all casted up

How?

you were looking good too

ouch? sorry man.

He won't be doing those squats for a long long time, if ever again.

See how big you can get your right arm compared to your left.

Dude, I know how you feel, it sucks. I was making a ton of progress and I broke my hand. I've been doing legs and abs like crazy, but I miss working out the whole body. Acura-is it bad to lift with one arm more than the other?

broke my elbow...

A few questions... 1. Why can't I bench for shit? In 6 weeks I haven't noticed my flat bench getting better AT ALL I still struggle to do 3 reps of 8 @ 115lbs. My Decline bench press however went up from 3 reps of 8 @ 115lbs to 3 reps of 6 @ 145lbs. Whats the deal? I swear my flat bench has not imporved ONE BIT. While I'm noticing visual results on my chest my flatbench still sucks. I have a workout partener too, we pretty much eat the same after work out meal, do the same excersizes and yet... He can flat bench more than I can while Every other excersize we do, I can do more and more than him each week. Wtf is wrong with me? 2. Is milk a good after work out thing to drink? I usually get beef jerkey from the convience store on my way home. Then I drink 33gs of protien worth of milk. There's not that much food available to me So I just usually go for some microwavable food with a decent ammount of protien and a lot of milk. Is that ok?

reps = repetitions, thats when you push it up one time. sets = a set of repetitions. i think you mean you're doing 3 sets of 8 reps @ 115 lbs. just so you know and from what i understand, milk is one of the shitty forms of protein, your best bet would be eggs, whey, red meat, fish.

Your routine probably blows and from what it sounds, your diet is shit. If you are serious about it, I would read up on some stickies and just stay consistent.

ryazbeck and from what i understand, milk is one of the shitty forms of protein How is milk a "shitty" form of protein? You do know that whey is derived from milk.

Your decline bench may be more because you're doing fewer reps to a set. You don't have to do 8 reps to be going up in weight. Try putting more weight on the flat bench and aiming for 3-5 reps.

The key to a strong bench is strong triceps

Elfling Your decline bench may be more because you're doing fewer reps to a set. You don't have to do 8 reps to be going up in weight. Try putting more weight on the flat bench and aiming for 3-5 reps. noo i dont think so cuz i can do 3 sets of 8 easy as hell on 115 even 135 when i do decline bench press. i cant do 4-6 reps @ 135 on flat bench. even 6 reps of 115 is a work out. And I dont think its my tricepts because my tricepts are pretty strong compared to most average people (i still consider my self average)

vhalin noo i dont think so cuz i can do 3 sets of 8 easy as hell on 115 even 135 when i do decline bench press. i cant do 4-6 reps @ 135 on flat bench. even 6 reps of 115 is a work out. And I dont think its my tricepts because my tricepts are pretty strong compared to most average people (i still consider my self average) you've only been working out for 6 weeks so i'm gonna have to go out on a limb here and say that your triceps probably aren't that much stronger than most average people. i'd take the advice that was given above and try to decrease the number of reps and gradually up the weight. also, if you can, get a spotter and have them help you. put 135 on the bar and have them help you with the last 2 or 3 reps so that you're struggling like hell to get it up with their assistance. you also might be rushing yourself. try and take a longer break between sets if you notice that you're going too quickly.

because you're going into the gym on chest day expecting the weight you can do to magically go up. If day after day you are doing 3 x 8 x 115...then that is what you are always going to be able to do. You need to push yourself harder...put more more weight on the bar and do as much as you can. next time you go, put some 5's on each side and do 125. get as many reps as you can. you have to force your body to get stronger, it's not going to just happen.

Fail and cheat on some reps at higher weights and u'll be repping that. Sense you have a partner let him help you by spotting and put some bigger weights on. DOn't worry about failing because your muscles will get stronger.

ryazbeck and from what i understand, milk is one of the shitty forms of protein, your best bet would be eggs, whey, red meat, fish. milk protein = good

what is your routine? you might want to switch it up with dips, db bench, etc

Shaolin_sword36 what is your routine? you might want to switch it up with dips, db bench, etc beginners should stick with the same exercises for awhile

from what i understand, you dont want much fat at all post workout, and milk and beef jerky have alot of fat, unless the milk is skin.

I need a 4 day a week workout plan.

I need a 4 day a week workout plan.

I posted a thread earlier about my workout and i was told that it was overtraining. I need a good workout for 4 days instead of my 6 day workout. Only think i ask is that Power Cleans aren't put in the list.

just lower your volume

I need a 4 day a week workout plan.

anyone here train by calisthenics?

anyone here train by calisthenics?

what are the advantages and disadvantages training by calisthenics?

Major disadvantage is progressive overload. After a certain level it becomes almost entirely muscle endurance unless of course you find more difficult ways to do the exercise. Instead of doing 50-100 reps per set of pushups, you could raise your feet higher, do them one arm or do them single arm single leg. The last exercise I've been incorporating into my workouts alot.
