k' i got a problem with buffing up, i eat as much as i can, dont skip meals ( unless i have no choice) , and cant have a strict diet of a body builder. so my meals are mainly hawker stuff and fast food. i excersise like 2-3 times a week for 3 hours, and most times i strain myself to the limit. thus i burn a lot of calories.

i have high metabolism thus even before excersise gaining weight is a problem.....

so any ideas? sure i go to the gym, but no point if i cant bluk up.

uh...try whey powder? Then see if there is any results?

don't need to go for 3 hours.. it's not productive at all.. get on the 5x5 program and continue eating like there's no tomorrow and i'm sure u'll see results..

eat big+lift big=get big!

my excersise is basketball, its my main excersise...the point of me lifting weights is actually to improve performance in the sport.

cut carbs
cut carbs in diet

ic.. then with activities like taht.. it's rather hard to gain weight tho.. how many meals are u eating a day? and do u know roughly how many cals?

www.fitday.com

to get your diet planned out.. and shoot for that target cals daily to put on weight..

lol.. cutting carbs won't give u the energy to play basket ball man..

kenny, ur advice is for losing fat not gaining weight..

depending really, certain days i go 6 some i go 3......if i cant eat i wont force. but in between i always munch on something.

thanks on the diet prgm mate, i'lll see what i can do.

oh ya, forgot to mention...i have very high energy levels, if i dont excecise i get very very restless and i cant stop moving, i get hyper.

No.

There you go. Fixed. Most people know the answer, they just don't see it.

i kno we arent suppose to cut carbs from our diet but arent refined

carbohydrates bad for us? like the ones in candy bars , doughnuts etc

I'm talking carbs like rice, oats, pasta, honey, maltodextrin, dextrose, etc. All have their place in nutrient timing.

wow.. u need to elaborate more ler doc
how u expect them to under what's nutrient timing? lol

i had increased my weight from 56kg to 60kg about 1 and half month time. And for all the secret is EAT and EAT.

I would say that my weight increase is not 100% lean muscle mass, and of course i can see my tummy's layer of fat become thicker also. Anyhow, what i did was eat rice.

9am - breakfast
12pm - lunch
2pm - lunch
5pm - lunch
8pm - dinner
11pm - dinner

for all the lunchs and dinners, i had rice. hahah.... it did really increase my weight and increase my strength. Atleast i can DL 120~130lb now... Still keep on increasing.

so i just go to the gym despite gaining weight being hard?

High GI carbs like rice, maltodextrin and honey are best taken post workout to provoke an insulin spike which is a precursor to growth hormone.

sama geng
from 62 - 70 kg in slighty more than 2 months
eat,eat,eat,eat,eat
but waist size aso increasing
but i dont think i can dead lift 120lbs

Nice. Now you have another 375lbs to go to catch up with me.

Jk. Seriously, keep it up and in a few years or so, I see you deadlifting 400lbs.

Why not? It just means you're not eating enough. I can easily tell you that more than 90% of the skinny guys here who want to get huge aren't eating enough. They think they are but they aren't. I keep stressing diet is more than 50% of the equation.

You can have the perfect training program but if the diet sucks, forget about growing.

BUT, if you have a sub par training program but your diet is good, you can still gain regardless.
