Freak's quest

(1/4) > >>

Bald_freak:
I've mentioned it before. I'm trying to go up not down. I would like to get to 185. I'm stuck at 162. Some people say "quit smoking" or "eat more fast food". I lost weight with both. Fast food just makes me crap twice as much. I eat a small breakfast, regular lunch, and pig out at dinner. Plus 1 to 3 protien sups a day. And I work out like a monster. I pust as much weight as I can with my small frame. only 5 min cardio to get warmed up.
Any other bald ectomorphs on here? (Scrawny arses or hard gainers) I had a trainer/nutritionist tell me a few years back that it's much harder for a skinny person to gain than it is for a large person to lose. It's easier to rev up your metabolism than it is to sedate it.

D.A.L.U.I.:
I look at food, I gain weight :-\ :-\ :-\
But, maybe you're pushing the weights too hard, try fewer and slower reps, heavier weights.  Break up your workouts so you only work a body part 2 times a week, that will give your body a break to rebuild after "tearing down." 

It goes w/o saying if you smoke, stop--not for weight gain but for your kids.  Lung and other related cancers--not worth it.  And, it can be a slow agonizing death--we lost our first friend to lung cancer when she was just 41, smoked.  Never saw her 3 boys grow to be men and fathers, and we, her friends, all still miss her.  This time of year makes us think of her--she died Christmas Eve.

You have described me to a "t", Freak. I weigh 160-163 and have tried on several occasions to pack on some weight. Most success I had was last year. I worked out with a personal trainer/nutritionist for six months with the specific goal of packing on 10 lbs. It was a constant effort that, in the end was simply not worth it to me. I was eating 6 meals totaling 2500 calories a day. The minute I stopped the program, the weight just fell off.

From my experience, if you want to bulk up, you'll need to change that breakfast routine of yours from a light one to a HUGE meal for a start, then eat every 3 hours, without fail.

From one ecto to another though .... Best wishes on your quest!  Keep us posted. O0

Saint, I know I need to quit. easier said than done. I do follow the rest of what you said.
and OZZ man, I eat a big breakfast on my off days. I can't on working out days cause I'll ralph at the gym....I learned a hard lesson in my early 20's skinny don't = healthy. alot of people assume that it does. The cigs are my only unhealthy habit...well an occasional doobie at a concert. At twenty two I had severe chronic back pain and the cholestrol of a 45 year old. I usually eat healthy, take an active men's multi-V, drink alot of water, work out. Only drink a few every so often. Also I'm an insomniac which sucks cus you need the sleep to repair muscle. Now at least my vitals and blood work are good.

Cigs & hi cholesterol--deadly mix--high blood pressure could follow, yielding strokes, kidney disease.  I know you don't want to hear this, but you don't have an "unhealthy habit" you've got a deadly one--no way to make that sound nice--its a fact.  Get help, but get off the smokes, and have the cholesterol and bp tested--you're not getting any younger!
