well in all honesty tell me what you think idealy is a good diet schemme for a hard gainer like my self, u think gear is out of the question?
thanks again
Gear is never out of the question, but you're better off learning how to train and eat without gear first.
Start eating 3000 calories a day.... if you don't gain any weight after a week, try 3250 or even 3500 calories.
Keep a foodlog at fitday.com
Eat tons of protein (200-300g a day), plenty of complex carbs (300-400g) and about 100-150g of healthy fats.
Protein: cottage cheese, fish, meat, protein powders, milk, eggs.
Carbs: brown rice, oats, vegetables, whole wheat bread, fruits.
Fats: Fish oil, flax oil, olive oil, nuts.
There's plenty more you can eat, but that should give you some basic guidelines.
Heck, go ahead and have some junkfood too... pizza, pancakes, hamburgers, etc.
After your workouts, have a protein/carbs shake, consisting of about 30-50g of whey protein, and 100g of simple carbs (dextrose and/or maltodextrin).
There's plenty of workouts out there... I'd recommend full body workouts every 2 days. Focus mainly on compound exercises such as deadlifts, squats, bench pressing, pullups, rows, and so on.
