42 week program in process

[YoungIntricateMuscle]

I checked my weight this sunday morning, as that is when i record my weight each week starting at 136 lbs 3 weeks ago, i weighed in at 144.5 lbs today.

Current Progress

Sept. 3, 2006 136 lbs

Sept. 10, 2006 138 lbs

Sept. 17, 2006 140 lbs

Sept. 24, 2006 144.5 lbs


Checking in at 144.5 this morning after going to the bathroom surprised me because gaining 4.5 pounds in one week without seeing any enlargement in the midsection is hard to believe. I don't see any real difference in my body yet as i only gained 8.5 pounds, but i guess that is not a big difference between weighing 136 and 144.5. Well maybe in another 4 weeks when i get to 152, i could probably start seeing my arms and chest get bigger.


Changed diet - upped my calories to compensate current weight gain

By the way my bench, deadlift, squat, and row went up 15 pounds by plan of 5 lbs per week.

Eating is getting harder and harder everyday because my body gained all this weight and is shutting down my hunger drastically, but im pushing through, just ate 4 scrambled eggs and 2 servings oatmeal, have to get ready for my 2 scoops whey, tbsp flax oil, and 1 serving buckwheat flour.

I took a 15 minute jog this morning, it helped raise my appetite and kind of stretched me out.

Anyone who says jogging in the morning when mass gaining is counterproductive is wrong. As long as its not over 15 minutes, i have been doing it the past 3 weeks and gained 8 pounds with an ectomorph body, and there were 3 days were i didn't take a jog and i felt horrible and lethargic.

All my inside organs didn't feel like they were working. I think the jog is neccesary to kind of wake up your body and get your ograns working more effeciently. Also oxygen to the brain and muscles is important. Try it, it works.

Im buying a 75 pound weight vest to run with in the morning, again only 15 minutes, to get my hormone levels up throughout the day. I usaully finish off with a cold shower and aged garlic extract to get them testosterone levels up real high.

Damn vest is $290 if you want a good one. Well i think its worth it.

I too drink drink lactaid and love it... Have been for years when i started drinking shakes and i'll tell ya i feel better than i ever have in my life.... I also take a lactiad enzyme with breakfast everyday which also helps.

Shoot........I can't drink the brown rice powder.......way too bitter and way too thick.......I once again changed my diet plan.....i think this one is permanent for now........i didn't gain any weight this week but i gained 4 pounds the week before when i was only suppose to gain two so im still by plan of two pounds per week. It averages out. Im a steady 144 now, gaining average of 2 pounds per week the past 4 weeks of mass dieting.

I think the diet i have now is very powerfull, yet very hard to do everyday, but I did it yesterday with success, realling pushing myself beyond my limits, but i think i'll be ok. So here it is now.

Wake-up – 5:00am

Protein40%-Carbs30%-Fats30%

Calories out – 144 lbs x 22 (ectomorph weight gain multiplier) = 3,168 calories

Meal 1 – 5:00am - 48-0-14

8 ounces grilled chicken breast, one large yam with 1 tbsp olive oil, and one serving buckwheat

Meal 4 – 12:00pm – 48-0-14
2 scoops Whey Protein with 1 tbsp flax oil

Meal 5 – 2:00pm – 48-36-0 after workout

Meal 7 – 6:30pm – 50-75-20
8 ounces grilled Strip Steak with 1 large garlic baked potato and 1 serving corn

Meal 8 – 8:30pm – 48-0-14
Non-workout Day - 2 scoops casein protein with 1 tbsp flax oil
Workout Day – 24g protein worth Low-fat Cottage Cheese with 1 scoop casein protein

Total - 3,821 calories – Calories in

380g protein = 1,520 calories – 39.7%
294g carbs = 1176 calories – 30.7%
125g fat = 1,125 calories – 29.4%

Bedtime: - 9:00pm

3,821 (calories in) – 3,148 (calories out) = 653

653 x 7 days = 4,571 weekly stored calories
x 39.7% = 1,814 protein calories = 453g of stored protein = .998 lbs of muscle
x 30.7% = 1,403 carb calories = 350g of stored carbs = .771 lbs of water/fat
x 29.4% = 1,343 fat calories = 149.3g of stored fat = .329 lbs of fat

Weekly Gains = 2.098 lbs
.998 lbs of muscle
1.1 lbs of fat

I don't think 3,821 calories are too much for me because first of all I'm an ectomorph, only 17, and I do muy thai and jujitsu 3-4 times a week along with weight training 4 times a week, which is alot of burning of calories. I really enjoy my mass diet i made, and everything is really tasty, especially the grilled strip steak that comes indivually freshly wrapped at 10 ounces 6 inch x 2.5 in x 1 in , perfect size, really nice and juicy along with the garlic baked potato and sweet corn, just goes down good everyday. I could eat like this forever.

Sick with some virus, and high fever the past 3 days, hopefully tomorrow i am well enough to work out. I already skipped two workouts, the first i have ever missed the past, perfect 6 weeks. Since im ectomorph i lost like 6 pounds already. Im starting to get really discouraged. Im 142 now, was 148, but better then where i started at 136. I couldn't eat at all. I only got like 2 meals a day when i was sick. Im suppose to cook for tomorrow, but i have no energy at all. I went to school really sick and ended up going to the nurse. How fast am i going to get my weight back? Faster and or same speed of 2 pounds per week?

So everyone, watch yourselves, stay really warm all the time, don't go out without that sweater you wanted to put on. DON"T GET SICK. IT SUCKSSSS!!!!!

ok....im not sick any more, but a skipped a whole week of dieting and training. It was a perfect 5 weeks straight and i gained 10 pounds, but now i lost 2 pounds the past week, but im still at a total net gain of 8 pounds, so i lost 1 hard week of training and dieting, but i have to stay focused and use this experience as way of working out and dieting twice as hard as I was.
Today felt like my first week. I felt like i coudn't eat anymore the whole day after meal 1, but i pushed through all my meals and got back into my regime. You have to focus yourself all day, everyday. Just think of your goal and want it hard all the time.
