Building Mass Over the Summer

Yeah, If you keep the carb’s in their optimal windows (morning and PWO) you should be fine. If you notice you’re getting fat then add in 1 or 2 sprint sessions per week.

For recipes get gourmet nutrition by JB and also get a slow cooker. Slow cooker makes life stupid easy. Put food in cooker and hit cook. go to school/work. come home and have eats for at least 2 days.

also the recipes thread seems pretty good so far. Add cals at about 150 per week and go till you start noticing fat gain.

Any idea what a good slow cooker price is?

P.S. any meal suggestions? It would help with this quality mass diet I’m on.

A good breakfast I cook when I’m adding mass is usually an American version of the typical irish breakfast:

2 slices sprouted grain toast

6 organic large omega 3 eggs scrambled with some green peppers, garlic, and onion

1 can Aunt Amy homemade baked beans

Organic italian/irish sausage

Interesting. I was never aware beans were consumed as part of a “typical” Irish breakfast. Might have to give it a go sometime.[/quote]

It was my staple breakfast when I was in Ireland last summer.

You could always cut back if you are gaining too much fat, but you can’t make muscle grow faster by eating more calories later.

What???

Actually reading that again, he’s saying you can’t make up for lost time building muscle by eating more later. Well you can save yourself time later losing fat if you adjust your calories slower. Nothing comes without any drawbacks.[/quote]

Exactly.

Mmm, thanks guys for all the input, I did increase my caloric input, and I’ve beeen noticing a kickass difference now. I have like 24/7 vascularity, and I feel great, and I’m not gaining any noticable fat gains. So thanks for all the advice guys.
