[HRDGainer]

ok, i am for sure a hardgainer. I also have problems with taking andro and things that make your testosterone level increase because it makes me break out terribly. What do you suggest i take in order to gain about 25 pounds in a few months. I would like to get up to 185 or so? thanks

FOOD: It is that simple if you are not gaining weight and you want to you need to increase your caloric intake. And dont say you do eat a lot because it is really as simple as EAT MORE. How many calorieas are you taking in? Do you keep a food log? If not start.

25lbs in a few months? wow bro that is a lot!!!! It takes a long time to do that naturally. If you're into AS go to the as board and ask they'll give you some good advice, but they'll tell you that if there are any AS that make you bulk up that fast you'll lose the size once you stop.

how old are you?

that is a open ended question if you just want to gain weight sit on the couch and eat pizza and chips. if you want to gain muscle have a good workout program, lots of rest, tons of food and about a gram and half of protien for every body pound starting with 30 grams in the morning and every couple of hours.

eat, sleep and work out smart and hard. you're 17 and you don't need to juice or try any other supps yet. Ask questions and read up about working out so you won't waste your time at the gym. Become a student of the "iron game." I wish i was 17 and know what I know now. EAT!!! And EAT SMART!!!

you will lose weight in basic training, oh wait, youre going in the air force, nevermind, you have nothing to worry about.

HRD-

Take the nutritional approach first before you try pro hormones and such. As an alternative to increasing your food intake, I'd try 3 protein shakes per day...

Early or pre workout/ 40g Whey protein (preferably an isolate Whey...CFM or Ion exchange...READ THE LABELS!)

Post workout/ 40g Whey & 75g Dextrose/Maltodextrin

Before bed/ 40g Whey/Casein/Egg combo, w Flax or Hemp oil (or powder)

If you want to add a non nutritional supp, try a micronized creatine @ 40 grams daily (4 10g servings mixed with 6-8oz grape juice) for 7 days, then 10g daily afterwards. Dextrose is cheap, you could add it to the creatine/grape juice (use more grape juice). You could also add ribose to the mix...dextrose and ribose DO have a synergistic effect w/ Creatine.

I've seen many first time creatine users gain 5-15 lbs in a few weeks w/ improved hardness and fullness.

But always make extra clean calories/protein your first priority.

Buy the book "Beyond Brawn" by Stuart McRoberts. It is available throught the site www.hardgainer.com

This is the only book you will need to read on training.

I am a hardgainer myself (my dad is 140 pounds when dressed). I started training with basic, brief and progressive workouts(recomended in the book) at around 17 years of age (and very skinny) and went up to 200 pounds naturally with a a ten rep 250 pounds bench press within a couple of years.

Email me if you have any questions. I will be glad to help.

[Beaversarewelcome]

Hey bro! I was exactly like you, I could never gain any weight at all.. I always thought I was getting enough protein and carbs etc, but to tell ya the truth I wasnt!!! I upped it tons, and I have gained massive amounts of weight and strength, it really helps out man.. So just eat like crazy, eat tons of peanut butter and chicken, steak, fish, etc.. Eat untill u gotta puke!!!!

 

[mattcanning99]

ok, i will tell you i am in the same hargainer boat here...i weigh 165 at 5'9 and my goal is 175 by new years...maybe 185 by the end of the school year...i say, supplements will help maximize muscle gains over fat...but if you are not eating you wont gain...buy a weight gain powder and make a 1000 calorie shake everyday before going to bed, no, you wont gain ALL muscle, but if you are a hardgainer, it will also be hard for you to gain a lot of fat...that and EAT!! find out your BMR, and eat above it each and everyday...eating is much more important than supps on this one...and im sure you will grow.

HRDGainer.........
Food is the most important thing. No matter if you use creatine, protein, glutamine, andros, or steroids, if your not consuming more calories then you burn you wont grow! If you eat 6 meal a day each @ 500 cal=3000 cals per day. Make sure your diet is in check. Supplements are there to help a good diet not to patch a bad diet.
A lot of steak, chicken, potatos, rice, burgers.
Even fast food, just not to much.
