Hi all, I’m stand at 6’ and currently weigh 154lbs. I havebarley any fat on my body and am a rugby player. I’m looking at changing sports but to do that I am hoping to gain some weight, the 190-196lb mark is what I’m aiming for and am hoping to have got to there or as close as possible to that by next March that’s 5 months away. I know this weight gain is attainable on Steroids but I’m hoping to do it natural and for it to be mostly muscle gained.
Thanks guys
Reverse it. Can you go from 196 to 154 and not lose any muscle in 5 months. Not a chance.
If you take that and how your body chooses what to keep and what to dispense with in a loss, then you'll gain some idea of how it stores fat and grows muscle along the way. Physiologically, and naturally gaining muscle without fat is not optional if we are going from 0-100mph in a 1/4 mile. The body starts to store fat with excess calories, and you need excess calories to gain muscle too.
You're skinny at 6' 154, so when I say you'll gain fat, it won't be a noticeable (fat) change, but muscle will also be hard earned. I'd say 10 pounds which would give you some great muscularity, but not much more, and I don't think you can eat enough to naturally make much more of a change. Your metabolism is doing its thing.
Why do you want to get from 154 to 190's so quick? It won't happen.
To see more of where I am coming from, I lost 120 pounds over 2 years and kept my muscle, then gained muscle and lost fat. I was fat to begin with so my body fat was way up there in the stratosphere. It's a journey my friend, enjoy it. You will get there.
