does it have to be frozen? I find that it’s hard to chew pizza when it’s frozen. And all that chewing wears me out and then I don’t have any energy for lifting.
When I was 19 I used to work out for 2hrs, doing 20-25 sets with drop sets, supersets, forced reps, everything.
And nothing happened. After 2years training I didn’t even look like I changed.
So I changed it up, even though I had been reading T-mag, I hadn’t really been thinking about what I was being told. So I re-went through the archives with an re-opened mind.
Now I eat every 3-4hrs max. No matter what. I don’t count calories, I just eat good food, no crap.
My workouts go for about 50minutes. I do 14 work sets at the most. Mostly compound exercises. I keep a log and every session either my reps or weight increases. When they don’t for two consecutive sessions, i change my program.
The result? I look like I lift weights. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. And the workout I’m doing are actually a joy to do, I used to put myself through much more pain in the early days.
That’s what worked for me.

Don’t worry about this. I do the same thing. I call it the “Jaw-strength Focused Mesocycle.”

How many days a week can you do this for optimum size/strength gains?
From my experience if I ever told myself “but i’ve been eating sooo much” thats the time that I haven’t been eating. As other have said you gotta sacrifice and make lots and lots of effort.
Also about leaving the gym unsore. Just use more weight. Usually when I begin a new program I am in a testing mode for the first week. To see what kind of weight I can handel and which one gives me the best results (soreness wise).
Lastly, try Total Body Training by CW. if you leave the gym without being sore and still don’t feel sore that night or early next morning then go back increase the weight and start over. You’ll get your balance… JUST KEEP WORKING AT IT.
On a final note, This site doesn’t suck! you say that again we’ll all track you down and give you something to be sore about

Calm down, things I remember doing at 19 that were counterproductive. You may be repeating these mistakes:
1-Weighing myself everyday and freaking out over changes that were mostly water
2-Not eating enough good food
3-Overtraining (I actually had the keys to the gym and would train everyday period, not great for gaining mass)
4-Not eating enough good food
5-If you have had strength gains the size gains will likely follow, If you eat enough.
I am assuming you are looking for gains in muscular size if that is true. What I would suggest is to:
#1 Pick a program and follow through with it, you do not have enough experience to be all intuitive about how a program is going to work for you without following through.
#2 Document your workouts/strength levels bodyweight How many chins can you do bench max, deadlift, squat (parallel) etc. Measure all of these prior to begining program and at the end.
#3 Eat enough to gain some weight. Rest/sleep enough as well
#4 Attempt to be patient
#5 Train hard for not more than 60-90 minutes. Realize that is your time to push hard.
Note-If you are not eating enough to gain weight training three times a week for one hour you will lose weight training 6 days a week for 2 hours. Re-read this last part several times!
