I think it’s safe to suggest that you need to go on an emergency anabolic diet. To keep it simple don’t count macronutrients and don’t make up your own strict diet. Just consume at least 4000 calories a day. That’s a lot of food. Basically, just eat 4-5 large meals a day and make sure that after every meal you really feel stuffed to the gills. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat 1-2 servings of fruits or vegetables with each of your 4-5 meals. Don’t bother counting veggies and fruits into your caloric intake. They’re now in your diet just for vitamins, fiber, and your overall well being. In each of these meals you should also eat at least 1 carb serving and at least 1 protein serving. When I say serving of meat you might think 4oz. Start thinking 8oz…at least. Some good sources of protein are…
-Flank Steak and other cheap, lean beef
-Chicken
-Eggs and Egg whites (have 3 whites and 2 wholes)
-Fish (all kinds. Just eat some)
-Skim Milk
-Peanut Butter
-Metabolic Drive Brand Protein Powder
-Beans, Eggplants, hearty vegetables
-A full 12-rack of ribs
Some good carb sources are
-not refined sugars or simple carbohydrates
-OATMEAL
-healthy hippie cereals
-Whole Grain Anything
-Corn
-Honey
-Brown Rice
-Whole Grain Pastas
-Potatoes
-Homemade Pizza
-Homemade Bread
NOW FOR EXERCISES
There are a ton of programs on this site. Since you’re a beginner you’ll have to start with comparatively low volume. Allow a muscle group 48 hours of rest before you work it again.
But since you’re a beginner anything will get you big “newbie gains.” So, hell, do this workout on Mon/Wed/Fri
Squats 1 X 12 reps
Glute-Ham Raise 1 X 15 reps
Weighted Dips 1 X 8 reps
Weighted Pull-ups 1 X 8 reps
When you get stronger you can add more sets, more weight, and more reps. Eventually you can add more exercises and start doing a split routine but for now just experiment in the beginning until you find a weight that allows you to perform the prescribed amount of reps when you’re working with an intensity that is equal to the intensity you should have if someone is holding a gun to your head and demanding that you do one more rep.
Running won’t help you put on muscle unless you’re training to become a sprinter. Do you do any sports? If you don’t have any sport-specific goals and you just want to get huge then hold off on the cardio for now.
thank you.
finally, some one is helpful.
yeah, i play sports. like i mentioned before, i’m going to be doing track. and yes, i’m a sprinter.
i’m also into cross country, swim, and volleyball.
i usually do eat a lot of food.
i add peanut butter to basically everything.
so will doing all of this build muscle and fat ? or just muscle ?
You play four sports? Competitively? I think you need to lose volleyball and cross-country. Just quit them.
My advice should cause you to build muscle and fat. But chances are, because of your body type, you’re so skinny that whatever fat you gain will be offset by whatever muscle you gain so in the end you will look leaner than you ever did before.
God this is my 3rd lengthy post on here. I’m gonna feel like such a cunt when I find out this is a troll job. I mean, that last comment about gaining fat and muscle just says it all. I almost feel like as much of a dork as the people who sent hate mail to Blizzard Entertainment when they announced the release of a fake patch on April Fool’s day that would give everyone in World of Warcraft only 1 life to live with no respawns. For the record I’m not a big enough of a dork to play that game…just to hear about that. [/quote]
and yep. volleyball and track is in fall. cross country is in winter. i did swim last year, that was in spring.
no. i seriously have NO idea about any of this stuff.
next year, i’m only doing track, i think. i don’t know.
so what you’re saying is that i won’t get fat and buff like these other guys ? i’ll stay thin and just tone up like the picture i posted ?
