that is hilarious. i was thinking the same thing when i saw this thread just now...

of course, the juice has a lot of unwanted side effects, as does bulking up by getting fat. imho, it is best to be active and work out, but to be happy with who you are, not who someone else is (an impossible goal, kind of like having 'enough' money). this being said from someone 5'8" and 145 lbs...
 
My opinion is don't do it..

I was 135lbs when I grad highschool.. went to college and wanted to gain weight..so I started working out eating chicken and peanut butter, etc like crazy.. I got to 175 in one year..probably 30lbs muscle and 10 fat.. that got me to about 10percent body fat with muscle..

the issue was I loved it, got addicted.. kept working out eating more and put on more weight got to 195 and I was happy..

then since i thought I was hot stuff I started to party alot(drinking and not eating right) going out with freinds, etc..next thing I know I am 266lbs and not all muscle :)

I lost the addiction to work out many years ago and fell into the married with kids lifestyle.. I am now down to 240 and still loosing it but it is very hard.. I wish I never bulked up..

Not only due to gaining all the weight, but due to all that heavy lifting and pushing myself to hard in the gym I also have 2 herniated discs in lower back to prove it..

Just and old man speaking from experience :) ( I am 35 )
 
i agree with a the other guys. Dont do it.

I spent my football career trying to pack on as much as i can....and the rest of my life trying to get it off, lol.
 
It will come eventually, just continue to work out on a regular basis and eat healthy as everyone has mentioned. Just be patient. At 21 yrs. old i weighed 140 lbs. now at 36 i weigh 190 lbs. and work out 3 to 4 times a week. Not to get huge but to stay in shape. Best of luck to you.
 
Gaining good weight is pretty simple. The hard part is actually committing to the simple plan.

I was a fitness instructor in college and work out between 5 to 7 days a week now (I'm 30). Here is the simple formula that I have seen work with pretty good success amongst all body types:

Four simple steps to putting on mass:

Sleep. 8 hours a night.

Eat. 3000 calories a day. 200+ grams of Protein a day.

Lift heavy. Sets of 5 to 6 reps. You should only be able to get 5 and be spotted up on the 6th rep.

Sprint. Short speed bursts on a treadmill or track. Minute long sprints or 30 second sprints. Lose the long distance routine.



Forget about total body workouts. If you want to gain weight, lift one major muscle per day. Smaller muscles can be paired on other days.

Your workout should last no longer than an hour.

Example schedule:

Monday- Chest: 5 stations. 5 sets at each station. 5 to 6 reps per set. Sprint.

Tuesday- Arms: 8 stations. 4 bicept stations, 4 tricept stations. 4 sets at each station. Abs.

Wednesday- Rest.

Thursday- Back: 5 station. Pull ups should be done every back day. 4 sets at each station. Sprint.

Friday- Shoulders and Traps. 8 stations. 4 shoulders, 4 traps. 4 sets at each station. Abs.

Saturday- Legs. 5 stations.

Sunday- Rest.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Take creatine. That is good for 5 pounds of water/muscle weight.
 
#1: break the law.
#2: get caught and go to jail.
#3: try to stay in jail as long as possible.
#4: maybe get sent to prison.
#5: make "friends" with the biggest guy's in the block or on the yard.
#6: do the work outs that these guys do.
#7: stay out of the showers.
:D
No, seriously I know guys that go in off the street and come out like Arnold. One guy actually gets 120lbs juvi's and has them lay on his back while he does push ups. He gets up to 2000 a day, along with other exercises, after he has been in awhile. He's also tough enough to take other inmates food trays and double his calorie intake so that helps him also.
 
:lol: Yep, go eat some donuts and ride around Uwharrie.
 
im 5'7'' 168, before the marine corps i was 5'7'' 140. Push ups, pull ups and getten on a good work out plan well get you where you want. if you dont do the gym at least do push ups and pull ups. do like 4 sets of 25 push ups. not sure on pull ups cause im not sure how strong you are but just max out for 4 sets. and do that 3 or 4 times a day every other day give it a month and youll notice a different.
 
I disagree that it will always happen in 10-15 years. I am in my early 30s and still weight pretty much exactly what I did in high school...6' and about 150-155 lbs.

yeah.....me too! except the weight seems to be in different places than where it was when i was in high school, lmao.
 
Eat every three to 4 hours....chicken tuna steak turkey salmon ......work out one muscle area a day.....last meal of the day eat biggg and drink a shake if you can stomach it...while your getting those 8 hours of sleep your body needs to feed through the whole night, look in to getting some cassein protein, or eat about 8-12 eggs before bed !!! This will work if your dedicated ~!
