I got problems with putting on weight period. anyone got any suggestions. I am about 5'9" and wieigh about 135 lbs. I worked out for nearly three months on a similar routine that most of you all are suggesting while eating a hell of a lot. I topped out at about 143 at night and 139 in the morning. the only thing is I did very little cardio (partly cause I aint really got any fat to burn) and probably didnt drink quite enough water. do those really help that much??
any help and suggestions will be appreciatied. My goal is to reach 150 by the new year. and an ultimate goal of 165+ by next summer
You definately need to drink lots of water or else you'll end up passing out from dehydration one of these days.
It's scary because you think you're drinking enough but you are dead wrong, you lose a lot of fluids while working out. And 2 or 3 glasses of water a day won't cut it.
As for gaining weight, that's easy, eat!
It's as simple as that, eat more. Lots more, that's what boxers do when they want to get bigger.
Oh yeah, and go with heavier weights. Some people's muscles can endure more weight than other people.
For instance my homeboy and I weigh about the same, we do the same routine but his biceps got hella bigger than mine.
I didn't understand what I was doing wrong but then some trainer told me that I was probably not lifting beyond my tolerance. I started liftin heavier shit and walla! It worked....
