Hm, Novice Trainer, Starting Strength Program, Gallon of Milk a Day.... 30 lean pounds for an underweight growing college athlete is no big deal. If you've already put on the muscle god thought you should have well then I figure it's pretty much impossible.

Current weight is about 230 and am hoping for 240 something for Christmas @ 3k calories I'm losing 2 pounds a week. @ 4k my weight is stable but I can't recover from my workouts. @ 5k my recovery is good and my weight is moving up.

Madcow 5x5 and Starting Strength have been the two most productive programs that I have tried. The downside of 5x5 was that I wasn't ready for an intermediate program at the time and ended up doing a fair bit of Tendon damage. Starting Strength seems to be building overall strength faster and...

Currently using a Test 400. Painless going in, increased swelling peaking @ day 3 and then improves till essentially gone by about day 10. Will just do the 250 next time as it seems like test in high concentrations is a pain too.

There's something about shaving my ass and wearing a thong that is just wrong. Love to lift. Love to be strong.... But c'mon If I shaved my body, put on a fake tan, and sprayed myself down with Pam I wouldn't be shocked if someone pointed out that it was just a bit GAY. Just sayin.

I've raised my calories from about 3500 to 5000 and it's still not enough. Lift and Eat.

I'm on Starting Strength right now. I'm finding it quite a bit faster than 5x5 as a novice-intermediate. I will likely movie to a Bill Starr or a Texas method next. The "squats and milk" has a certain appeal but S.S. is so productive right now that it's hard to imagine putting on...

Every time I add 500 calories above maintenance to my diet I gain weight, get stronger, and have to add another 500 calories to my diet. Can't I just take a pill instead? I'm tired of eating.

PB seems my only hope for breaking 5k calories without exploding.

bloated and ripped simultaneously. it's an odd look.

eat more

Add more weight.

I kind of like the Bill Starr Volume/Recovery/Intensity approach that covers all the bases and avoids this argument entirely. I prefer to focus on strength and a big diet as a newbie (starting strength prog) as it works. I'm not what's going to work best as an intermediate/advanced trainee...

Definitely a crazy man but when you read his articles/interviews he is both literate and well informed. His early physique (pre-freak) was excellent.
