Getting bigger

saintc put it well, I also encourage you to go to bodybuilding/exercie forums where you can get tons of info for free instead of paying a trainer. Those forums are to weightlifting/exercise what slybaldguys is to head shaving.

Thanks, Uga. do you have any specific ones in mind?
a bodybuilding parallel to SBG would be AWESOME !
ugabulldog:
There are many to choose from. Google bodybuilding forums and see which one looks good. Alot of sites are geared towards chemical enhancment but there is still great info for those not going that route as well. Some of those guys on there know more about the workings of the human body than doctors.

thanks for the help, Uga. I've found a couple of sites that look really promising. A great alternative to a personal trainer (which I am way too cheap to pay for anyway! )

Although controversial, i do believe there is a lot of truth in genetics (somatotypes), being a large factor in weight gain process. I had a really difficult time starting to gain weight in the beginning, but this was because i did not eat enough to repair the muscle. I would recommend alot of eggs fish (tuna for budget) and oatmeal (slow cooked). I eat starting at 7:30am and eat again every three hours up until 10pm. Two full glasses of whole milk to supplement each meal as well. Protein drinks are good right before bedtime especially if your a night gym rat. Whey protein is good for a quick post workout regeneration, however i would also recommend sustained release proteins. (This of course is if you don't mind some supplements.) I'd make sure to do some cardio daily, but not much. Whether or not if this routine is doctor recommeneded, i am not sure. However, my cholesterol has gone down alot and blood pressure and pulse have improved greatly. They say for moderate weight gain, you should have around a 1:1 ratio for grams of protein per body weight pound. I've bumped mine up 2:1 but have to drink twice as much water. Breaking your diet up into small meals are good for this considering your body can only process 35-50g of protein per meal. The rest gets wasted. I'm no expert or trainer, but I have become fanatical about building mass, and i can vouch to say it definetly works. But that is only 50% of the equation. The rest relies on how dedicated you are in the gym. You basically gotta become a machine! O0
