I need to GAIN 35 POUNDS HELP!!!

[JDarty6173]

Well I know for a fact it is possible to put on 30 pounds in 1 year naturally.. I did it in about my second year of working out, once I realized that the key was in my diet... I went from maybe .5 grams of protein to 2 grams of protein per pound.. Started watching calories to make sure I was well over maintenance.

Well during that year my bodyweight went from 170 to 200 without any noticable increase in bodyfat... Also it was that year that I got my training together with a decent program of heavy compound movement... And again this was all naturally.. So it is possible bro..you just have to want it bad enough.

JD, I agree with you. But, the reasons I said its not possible......

-By "year", he's talking about within the school year correct? So, that's actually, what, 6 months?

-Considering the cardio regime that he is probably undergoing for football.

-His comments on the anabolic board lead me to believe that he needs someone to help him train and get his diet down.

So, we're talking 35 pounds in 6 months, under stress of cardio, naturally. If he were to apply every variable possible to acheive this weight gain, he would completely negate the skills of playing football(his priority). As Citruscide said, he should find a sttrong median between size and skill.


I was also trying to mellow him out because of his immediate "need" for steroids to help his pursuit. Not good.

ya true... i agree with JD and thaibox.... 35-40 lbs, of HARD ASS work, within 12-14 months, sure. that amount in 6 months while keeping the cardio necessary for football, im not sure. Im at 177 from 166. I need about 30-35 more. Im afraid that ill be a lot bigger, but my heart will kill me if i run like 10 feet. should I incorporate maybe 2-3 days of sprints????????

Here is the Issue.
I am in High School right now going into my senior year of football-- our season just ended with my weighing 162 pounds playing fullback... probably the smallest fullback in the league.

This year I am willing to do whatever it takes to hit the 200 pound mark. As of today I weigh 165 pounds, and am currently taking Testrol, Creatine, Whey Protein, and Weight Gainer.

What I need is suggestions, besides the usual EAT EAT EAT... I need something that will seriously work, any measures to get this, because football is that important to me.

Any info would be great.

Ok. I am guessing that you are 16-17 years old. I am guessing that you are 6' tall or under.

What good will it do you to weight 200 pounds if you can not controll the weight and it slows you down? As an athlete, large amounts of weight gain will NOT help you at all as a running back. As a lineman, probably. On defense or any position which requires a lot of speed and agility...NO.

If I were you I would set strength and agility goals as well and make them your priority. I would also shoot to weigh 185-190 with those goals.

EAT EAT EAT is the biggest thing. I have been using the MQ supplements for the past 6 weeks and have been making some good gains despite some health concerns and injuries. Several people in my classes have been commenting on how I have continued to get leaner and yet look bigger in many areas...since my last contest. I drink the triple threat all the time!!! For the price and YOUR needs...you should try a few buckets!!!!

My suggestions:
Meal 1: 40-60 grams prot, 60 grams carbs, 30-50 grams fat
Meal 2: 30 grams prot, 60 grams carbs, 30 grams fat
Meal 3: 40 grams prot, 80-100 grams carbs, X grams fat
Meal 4 (post workout): 40 grams prot, 80-100 grams carbs, 30 grams fat
Meal 5: 30 grams prot, 30-60 grams carbs, 10-20 grams fat
Meal 6: 30-40 grams prot, 30-60 grams carbs, 0-20 grams fat

Of course you can't really do this but you can TRY. Trying to meet these goals will lead you in the right direction. Sure, if you can't eat all of that carbs or fat...don't. TRY though!!! 200 grams of Prot, 350-400 grams carbs, 80-150 grams of fat...DAILY.

With your training...3-4 days a week. You need to be doing some WSB sled dragging too as well as cardio and atheltic drills. Remember that this is the "off season" so use it like that. Be lazy, eat a lot, sleep a lot, and lift a lot. Don't worry about a lot of cardio or athletic training right now...focus on that late next Spring.

Thai.. I was just assuming he meant a full year... But in 6 months naturally? no way... Short of gorging and gaining a ton of fat... But yeah, if 6 months is the case then definitly reevaluate your short term goals....
