Looking for some ideas on how to put on weight

[Greenmachine97]

Im looking for some ideas on how to gain some weight. (mostly wanting more muscle mass.) Im pretty light my age (17) I weigh somewhere inbetween 135-145. My weight has been going up and down since I had mono about a year and a half ago. I want to build some muscle mainly for hockey, because being a kid who 5'11 and only weighs 135-145 I get thrown around quite a bit. I usually run around 3-4 times a week so im not totally out of condition during the off season. Ive been reading David's weight loss thread and its pretty motivating for me to put on some weight but doing the healthy way. Any ideas?

[David]

you can do what i did. get a job at a desk, keep several thousand calories worth of snacks with in reach, only eat food that has been fried... go home and repeat. Good for 40+ lbs in 6 months

but if you want muscle you need to wait for others to comment.

[Thunder]

protein is your friend.

don't eat unhealthy... its been proven that you can have bad cholesterol and still be skinny as a twig.

[Mr. Jeff]

steroids

[David]

[coop]

[David]

I wish I could sit down at a desk and eat like that for 6 months :lol:

but ya I need to find a good protein from either GNC or Complete Nutrition.

[Greenmachine97]

Screw steroids! I dont want anything on me to be getting smaller... specially my testicles!

[toom1h]

Just eat lots of ****, I matter of fact have one if you wanted to try it out

[Cotnerdude]

muscle milk

[coop]

^ hahah

[Thunder]

But brady quinn drinks it, and hes a winner.

[Greenmachine97]

Haha NO. **** that..

[Greenmachine97]

muscle milk

i heard that stuff gives you the shits, and doesnt do anything for you

[Cotnerdude]

To be honest it saves me from being really sore the next day, that and a lot of stretching

[Greenmachine97]

Oh I stretch everyday when I wake up. It just helps me feel better for the rest of the day. And during hockey season it helps cuz I hate pulling muscles.

[Mazdadan]

sure... did you ever consider maybe its the "a lot of stretching" instead?

[Greenmachine97]

What do u mean?

[spoonraker]

I believe he was talking to cotner.

[Greenmachine97]

Thats what I though but i wasnt sure. my bad

[Mazdadan]

yes I was... damn postblocked

[302fox5]

tuna, a can of tuna a day is nearly as efficient as having protein drinks everyday IMO

[Greenmachine97]

yuck...hate tuna.

unless ur referring to the type of tuna that has to do with girls....

[Cotnerdude]

I dont mind tuna but if I have a choice in the matter I would do protein over tuna.

[spoonraker]

Tuna, Chicken, Fish, lean meats in general.

[302fox5]

yuck...hate tuna.

unless ur referring to the type of tuna that has to do with girls....

your right, maybe eat some chocolate chip cookies, might taste better

[Greenmachine97]

steak?...cuz steaks like my favorite food.

[Cotnerdude]

As long as your working out alot you will need to eat a lot of food..

[Greenmachine97]

I dont do as much lifting as id like to but i guess I should start doin that more since hockey seasons pretty close believe it or not.

I lift usually twice a week

[Cotnerdude]

I jog for 15 to get my heart rate up, lift for a while and then jog as hard as I can go for 20 min. I have been eating more protein than normal and I am gaining some muscle, but no weight. I wouldnt mind losing 10 lbs though.

[toom1h]

Want tube steak?

[Greenmachine97]

Want tube steak?

i dont know what in the world ur talkin about

[Poowill]

Wok out > Whey Protein within 30 minutes > repeat.

What i plan to do anyways. Yes protein is good, but protein when your body is done working out or lifting is when your muscles need it the most and will be best.

Must gain wait so this season i'm not getting thrown around by the Nebraska Women's basketball team this year haha, (i'm not kidding, they're tough)

[Greenmachine97]

Haha i actually know some of them cause my team runs all over the fair grounds all the time. some of em r pretty damn strong.

and ya i know protein is the most effective after uve worked out, but thanks for the info

I recommend True Mass from BSN, I have gained almost 15 pounds of muscle in about 1 month. Total I'm about 25 pounds, in six months.

breakfast-egg and oatmeal
snack-good protein (jerky)
lunch More Protein and slow digesting carbs think whole grains
some nuts or a piece of fruit and a protein shake before workout
Double Protein shake and some fast digesting carbs
maybe some cottage cheese before bed
good nights sleep

protein shake before you run

thats what I got for ya. True mass from bsn is a good idea. Muscle milk helps your body make more of your own creatine. My cousin took it all through College in Fort Hays and now he is around 180-190 and started at 135ish. good luck man it takes time but it will came to you.

BEEEEEEEEF CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

As someone who used to play hockey I found a few things that seem to work well...eating lots of protein does definitely help build muscle, there are also hockey specific exercises you can do to help build target muscle groups, especially those that will actually aid in the sport
Squatting is great for the legs, helps with your stride as well
Biking is also very good, targets a lot of the muscles you'll use in skating and is great for cardio
Lots of crunches and core exercises are important as well
For the upper body i pretty much did just push ups although I probably could have benefited from targeting this area a bit more
Though some of the best hockey exercise is, of course, just practice

I weighted 130 and im 5' 11 too, I started going to the gym on a regular basis for a while and now im at 145. Just go lift on a regular basis, eat healthy with lots of protein and see if that works for you.

[coop]

just wait till you turn 25 and your metabolism stops

Just eat McDonald's for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

This is true. I use to weigh about 150-160 when I was around your age, and I'm about 5' 11", 6'. Now I'm around 190-195 3 years later. I'd just eat everything you can get your hands on that’s decently healthy for you. Eat constantly too, not just 3 big meals a day, make it 5-6 smaller ones throughout the day.

I'd stay away from supplements until you've reached some sort of plateau which is year/s from now. But the best thing to do is hit the gym, and hit it hard. The more you go to the gym, the more you can eat, and vice-versa.

Chicken, Steak, Pasta, and if you don’t like tuna, learn to like it. Put a can in a bowl, mix in some low fat miracle whip (or something similar) throw some salt and pepper in for taste and eat it just like that, or throw it between some bread, potato bread is a good source of protein (like 3-4g per slice?) Regardless protein is gonna play a major part in gaining weight. But then again, I don’t really know anything.

Yeah! It worked for Morgan in the documentary "Supersize Me." Great movie BTW.

[Kelvin]

[MiniTruckinMike]

Yeah I worked at McD's for 2 years and ate there every day and ever gained a pound, i'm still at 135lbs, i just got taller and now i'm 6foot3

[regal403]

Posted via Mobile Device Looking back now, if I wouldn't have worked at Valentino's back in high school and college, I probably wouldn't have gotten so fat. Also, if I had tried out for freshman football like my dad said, or done track my senior year like the athletic director said, I probably wouldn't have been as fat.

[Slikrider]

Welcome to the club, i'm 5'10 155lbs and i don't know how to put on weight either... i don't think it's possible.

[SteveB4C]

It all comes down to the effort you put into it. I was around 190-195 for a really long time, now Im about to break 230 in the next few weeks. Train hard and eat right.

[Jthod]
