Does dividing doses weaken effect?

To give you some perspective, I can hold a weight of 245lbs at 4500 calories a day at 6 ft 2 and I'm naturally a skinny guy.

If you count 4500 calories accurately, it's probably 50% more food than you currently eat given you weigh 165.

You'll gain fat quickly and that's of no benefit. To gain quality mass, you will have to accept a certain degree of fat gain, it just comes with gaining weight in general, but don't do overkill because it's not doing you any good and is making you less healthy.

Whatever amount of food you eat right now, just increase it by 700 to 800 calories daily, much of it coming from protein and quality carbs.

I agree with this. I originally thought about saying something about your 6k figure, but most people underestimate their calories since they dont track anything.4k is more than plenty for your weight. I weigh 20 lbs more than you, and 3500 is my normal caloric range for gaining, and it works well.

500-1000 over maintenance per day is what you should do to limit fat gain

I'm going to start a new diet consisting of high protein and carbs...no fried foods, no processed foods...trying for at least 6000 calories a day..as far as leg workouts, ill be doing squats, deadlifts, lunges, side lunges, and callestenics like jump squats and all that

dude it sounds like you are looking for overnight results.. not gonna happen. why are you just now starting this if you said you have been working out 10 years? building mass takes time, no such thing as overnight results.. and if you did shoot for overnight results it would be horrible for your organ health and also as an athlete its gonna backfire. you never want fast results, you want slow steady results

you should of been doing this from the start if this was your goal.. instead of catching up and doing a ridiculous amount of calories. a guy your size isn't gonna be able to get in 6K cals a day consistently unless you eat junk food. that is unrealistic. a lot of guys will eat a lot of cals 2X per week and eat like a bird the other 5 days a week. you gotta do this everyday if you are gonna make progress. i've worked with enough guys to know how it works. those guys are called weekend warriors for a reason.

if you lived near me i would love to invite you on leg day to workout with me so you can see how intense your workouts have to be to build mass. you can't go into the gym and lollygaggle for an hour and expect to get anywhere.

Baseball is a game of skill, not necessarily physical prowess.

You get top grade athletes in baseball for sure. Outfielders and middle infielders at the professional level have very impressive skill, speed and quickness. Just because they are buffoons in the gym doesn't mean they aren't athletic or strong or gifted.

I guarantee you if you stepped up to the plate against a 95mph you would shit your pants badly, and likewise if someone hit a 130mph line drive at your face from 90ft away. Pitchers have been killed from being hit from a comeback hit.

Lots of people think baseball is gay. It takes as much or more balls to play baseball than it does any other sport at the highest level perhaps besides motox/stunt sports.

The pros make it look casual because they are that good.

The hardest thing to do in any sport is hit a baseball. There's not another sport in the world that considers a 30% success rate excellent.


Also, the amount of steroid use in baseball is significantly less than it was 10 years ago. McGwire, Canseco, Sosa, Bagwell and lots of those guys were pretty jacked.

Baseball used to be a game of skill, but I fear its moving away from that.

Now look at all of the big time players - half of them are either obese or juiced out of their mind. You have guys (who aren't pinch hitters) that can hardly jog around the bases because they're so big, and if they don't knock it out of the park they're done. The same thing has happened with pitching - where are the Randy Moss body types? They don't exist in pitchers anymore - half of these guys are just monsterously huge, so of course they can throw a ball 100 mph. Look at whats happened to pitchers in general too - nobody expects them to be able to hit a ball any more. Its becoming more and more of a type cast role sport - soon there will be hitters, pitchers, runners, and fielders, but nobody who can do all 4, and THAT is what is reducing the athleticism in baseball.

Now obviously there are quite a few positions still that require outstanding physical condition, but I agree with stevesmi - compared to some other sports where EVERYONE on the field has to be in exceptional shape, I'm not convinced.

As for the original topic of the thread, I would think that if you do end up getting signed, the first thing that they're going to tell you to do is put on some size. So you may as well get started now.

yea i hear you and agree...you think even if I doubled up on joint supposrt with Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and fish oil it'd still be a problem? anavar does sound logical though

ya i still wouldnt take the chance. you'll be "safer" with anavar. i use the term safer because everything needs precautions and especially with how many baseball injuries occur, winny is poor for joints regardless of what you take..

again, some people are fine, some are not. i wouldnt take the chance if i were you and i played something that involved heavily in using my joints

Its not that I expect to get overnight results. I'd like to sonsume a lot of calories because It is very hard for me to gain, I eat and eat and eat and gain nothing. Or minimal weight and the second I eat less It goes away. Or when I start working out with my team , boom weight gone mostly exept for the mucle it actually shows more from the fat melting
