Guest KanadianKrusty Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Inspired by DANDY's ~! thread... What if I want to GAIN weight?, I'm about 5'7, 120 pounds but I'm not skinny or anything, and I want to put on some muscle, or maybe put on a bit of muscle and a lot of cardio... I REALLY don't know where to start.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Join sports team and get some weights
Patty O'Green Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 I used to be rail thin. Then I started working out five or six days a week, targeting different muscle groups each day. I suggest you pick up a book called Getting Stronger by Bill Pearl. It has a variety of exercises for all the key muscle groups. It's worked very well for me. Also eat foods that are high in protein and use proper nutritional supplements. (Duh!). If you ever feel like eating a late night snack, make sure that snack is a protein bar. Are you mostly 120 lbs of fat? If so then you'll also need to do a fair amount of cardio. Playing a sport would be a good place to start.
Guest KanadianKrusty Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Are you mostly 120 lbs of fat? I'd say yes, but i'm not all fat, I do have some muscle, but I'm pretty sure my strength/muscle mass is sub-par.
Guest The Old Me Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 You want lots of food high in protein. When I was lifting, I was using creatine and drinking Myoplex, which was a brand of protein shake. I drank it twice a day (I really didn't even think it was bad) and it helped along with increasing my protein and carbohydrates in my meals.
Guest Matt Young Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 www.abcbodybuilding.com and its message forums can answer any and all questions you may have, and it also has supplement reviews, workout routines, and diet plans for every situation. It's an invaluable resource. I learned a whole lot from that site.

I REALLY don't know where to start. How did you steal my banner? Oh yeah, about gaining weight. Go to GNC and get that Creatine shit, it works wonders.
Patty O'Green Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Creatine is great. But be prepared to take at the very least, 7 shits a day when you first start using it.
