Freak's quest
ozzie:
From what I understand, if you are trying to bulk up, and you work out first thing, it's pretty much essential that you eat a full-size nutritional meal within the first hour after your workout. From my experience, that also makes it easier to eat bigger meals later in the day as well. Don't ask me why that is so.
As hard-gainers, if we really want to add poundage, we have to eat WAY more than I initially thought was even physically possible. But it can be done. Whether or not it's a healthy decision in your case, only you can decide.

I'm not arguing with u saintc. I'm in alot better shape now than then. I'm gonna try to quit again after the holiday stress is over. this year I made it a month and a half. before that the longest was 3 days.
I just ready an article that goes against the grain a few months back. but it made sense. the link u sent me shadowside follows the standard hardgainer methods.
He says to eat every 2-3 hours. but think about it. Our problem is we have a sky high natural metabolism. When ever u eat your metabolism goes up to digest the food. So, this article recommend 3 huge(but healthy meals) + extra protien supps. and what was mentioned above. less reps longer resting periods, heavier weight.

I wasn't trying to either. I know it's an addiction, and it has so many roots, physical addiction to nicotine, mental addiction as a learned behavior in response to stress. I remember a professor I had in college who mused on his addiction once, describing the pleasure of feeling the round cylinder, the puff being equivalent to sucking--a behavior from birth, the visuals of smoke curling upward, etc. It's huge. The nicotine patches, gum, etc. take care of only one aspect. The other behavior issues are many times as hard to defeat. Often people eat to take care of them, junk food, hence the weight gain associated w/ stopping. Stress, that's really tough--maybe borrow the worry beads from the Greeks and Arabs ;D ;D--but it would satisfy the touch issue. But, the main goal is to free yourself, that's really important--actually more important than freeing yourself from hair. Good luck, stay strong. You can do this.

a friend told me once to replace smoking with sex, but she wasn't willing to contribute to the cause :-\
