The math is true, but there is no way of knowing the exact amounts considering body fat calipers can be off. I agree that what really matters is how he looks to the judges, but that’t not the issue at hand here. The issue is he would love to gain more weight so he could compete in a higher weight class.
Today he thinks he has found a conclusion to why he can’t add size. He thinks maybe he is overloading himself. I’ve never heard of overloading yourself with food and loosing weight, so I need some of your perspectives. He experimented this weekend. I warn you, the results are somewhat odd (or at least to me it is). He said by Friday he had made his way up to 7,000 calories. On Sunday, he only ate 2 HUGE meals. The meals were good quality foods. He ate when he got up that morning, and he ate another 7-8 hours later. (He was going mad during the 7-8 hour stretch!)Total, he consumed 4,500 calories during those two meals.
He weighed himself Monday and he had gained 6 pounds. Since I’m not familiar with this “overload” idea, how is it that he could cut his calories by 2500 and gain 6 pounds? Since to my knowledge it is impossible to gain 6 pounds of muscle and/or fat over a weekend, he thinks not only does this have to do with overloading his diet, but he thinks he has a water imbalance. Do any of you have any ideas?
Oh yeah in responce to earlier comments, he said everyday he has a different workout routine. He said it isn’t organized in anyway, but he does write everything down so whenever he does a particular lift the next time he tries to beat it.
