Gear and calories

[JKurz1]

Evening bros..... quick question...........I have a nice supply of sus, eq, winny, deca, and t400.....problem is I've been increasing my calories from my comp. weight for the last two weeks and havent gained a lb....I'm standing at 6'2...190 and would like to be 205 before I start....think itll be a waste if I start before then? I'm 7-8%bf right now and having a HILLACIOUS of a time putting on weight.....should I hit the gear to get me up there, or keeping adding cals till the scale moves...?? Dont want to waste it......think I have a tapeworm? 2 yuears ago at this time I was 240 and 10-11%, buit did little cardio...now I just do VERY light cardio in the eve (train the morning) but dont think thats hindering my gains.........I eat an hour beforehand......thanks for your help!

stop doing cardio for the love of god man to gain some weight, and up the calories more!!

 

[JKurz1]

the sole reason I do cardio is because it's tax season...I'm sitting in an office for just about 10-11 hours....I need to do something after to release, but dont have the time o r mental energy to train...so I mindlessly walk on an inclined treadmill and read the paper.....35 min max...think thats killing me? any of you subsribe to the eating late night theory to pack on mass?

If you were 240 and 10-11% two years ago, how are you having such a tough time putting on weight now? The cardio that you are doing now shouldn't be holding you back that much, if at all ....

prob. becuase I was dumb, in school, eating buffets 24-7, had a metabolism of somone on hgh..........now, i'm too strict...you guys just eat it all when bulking up?

 

[Dieharder]

eat clean but i think there is such a thing as eating too clean, you know what i mean? You need those extra calories and if you arent gaining weight now, its obvious that you need even more. What exactly does your diet look like now?

Try Again........

Cardio is not the culprit - low intensity aerobic activity doesn't burn muscle
Can you break down your diet more specifically: from what you posted it's hard to say how many cals you're taking in, along with macronutrient breakdown, although from what it looks like I could probably cut on that diet with my metabolism, and I'm 15lbs lighter
Also, are you saying you're training without any nutrient consumption beforehand? If your training is intense as it should be, rest assured you're burning muscle for fuel! Wake up, do light cardio, and train mid-day!

On Who's Schedule?

 

[Dedicated247]

definatly try getting something in your body before you train in the morning...it will help performance and avoid muscle wasting during exercise....why not check out fitday.com and get back to us with a total calorie count and a macronutrient breakdown it should take too long....

 

[JKurz1]

FIGURING I need something quick....what about liquid protein.........its a syrup....full of aminos, protein......etc......does eating late at night carry over until the morning at all?????

 

[BOOEY]

Very quickly, a few minor things you could do with your diet:

- Eat something right when you wake up. Whey is good b/c it's fast digesting and in the morning thats what you need. Some oats for energy also would be good

- Try to get another meal in between 9AM and Noon. Maybe eat at 930, 11AM, and 1AM

- 230PM: How big of a tuna met are we talking here, well DOUBLE IT

- 630PM: Make it 6-8oz of chicken instead of 4

If you don't start gaining weight after this, then I don't know what to tell you.

edit on the last post: eat at 930AM, 11AM, and 1PM .. then follow your outline

 

[jerkbox]

i would def try to eat something before you train.

and get more protein after training....more like 3 scoops of whey.

also, doesn't look like you are getting very many carbs with that diet.
