well if you're eating all you can.. EAT MORE....

[R1balla]

workout 3 times a week, 4 at MOST, Eat, Rest, Repeat

do the 5x5 program

[GeekPoop]

eat lotta rice

[chocolatemilk]

lol @ calling boladrol a bunk test booster

you didn't even post what your diet looks like... I'm 100% sure the problem lies there

[MakaveliThaDon]

Word, i agree with everyone else. Every single time ive heard someone say they are eating as much as they can....its not nearly enough, EVERY time, without fail. I highly suggest you not mess with those "bunk test boosters" and post up what a day of food honestly looks like for u, and we will go from there...

It's your diet man. What do you eat in a normal day? Break it down for us. Are you eating 4-5k cals?

[mcalli83]

wake up 4 packs of oatmeal...2 sandwiches some donuts chex mix banana,snack pack pudding and some sweets for lunch usually meat or pasta for dinner and a protein shake after workout...problem is i work construction and its hot as hell some days so i dont eat as much...that lunch varies from day to day,i gotta super fast metabolism so i dunno what to go off of nutritionwise...and im not sure what the 5x5 workout is...i lift like a nut like 5-6 days a week and i was told "less is more" for me...wow thanks for the replies i wasnt expecting any

[honda81]

take atleast 4000 calories a day! get 1.5g of protein per pound of your bodyweight. eat a **** load of carbs if you wanna bulk. dont do cardio while bulking either. Monstermass is a good gainer.

thats the most terrible diet i have ever heard of. and the more you rest, the more you grow. 6 times is way to much IMO. 4 at most.

cottage cheese and natural peanut better before bed helps aswell

Just like everyone else said You must eat more
Go to fitday.com and start keeping tract of everything you eat This site allows you to track all your calories.I myself would shoot for 3500 calories a day at least
Google "Starting Strength Program" Follow this program exactly how it is laid out. It works.
Last but not least you do not need any supplements.

Good Luck

Add 1 gallon or even half a gallon of WHOLE milk to your diet and tell me where you stand in 1 month. =]

[mdpwrlifter]

I have the same problem. It's all in the diet.

[R1balla]

do 5x5

[mdpwrlifter]

I have. I'm slowly gaining. I'm on westside right now.

[R1balla]

if your gaining slowly, you arent eating enough. use fitday to track your cals and nutrient info. even though it may seem like you eat alot, you probably arent. your just full and dont wana eat at that time.

something quick and easy to eat to put on weight are bagels. about 50g of carbs in each

[mdpwrlifter]

Yeah my gains aren't exactly fast but I'm making progress. Thanks for the tip.

1) got o doctore and check your thyroid (if thats normal then it IS your diet an trainning thats the issue)

2) add in a couple whey protein dink in evey day, make them about 30-40g protein per drink and ADD IN eather 2-3ounces of oliv oil to EACH one oe 2-3 tbs of peanutbutter and blend them up. this alone will ad the calories YOU NEED. 3tbs of peanubutter= 300cal thisX 3 times a day = 900calories EXTRA JUST fromt he peanutbutter alone and the protein cals are about 250 for 40g protein. so 300 (peanutbutter) added to 250 from proten =550cals X 3 =1650 cals JUST forn the 3 measly protien drinks with eathe oliv oil o PB. then ouy add in your food an anotehr PB sandwich.*

3) Google "DC trainning" and READ I ALL

4) supps i Rec to help: creatine, ASGT, fushoil, multiv/m, taurine.

[R1balla]

i would suggest DC, but im not sure how much experience you have in training.
