Help Me Grow!

[The Conquistador]

hey I'm 21 years old and have been training for about a year now and need to do something to make myself GROW. I want to get to 220-30lbs but im at 170 right now and am still skinny. I just changed it so that I'm working out 4 times a week tues/wed/fri/sat with heavy weight(heavy as I can possibly go) and 8 reps. do you think this will work lol I'm sick of being the skinny guyand ready to do something about it! problem is, I have a fast metab, so its hard for me to gain weight...got any ideas on how to pack on the size?

In order to gain weight you need to supply your ody with more calories than you are burning. In your case you have a fast metabolism so you will simply have to eat more than usual. Your diet should consist of lots of protein, carbs and good fats at every meal. Try to eat 5-6 times perday. Most of my friends that are hardgainers will have a gainer shake befor they go to bead and another waiting if the fridge incase they wake up in the middle of the night. Your metabolism slows down about 30% while you sleep so those gainer shakes will be slowly processed and help your growth. Try taking a nap mid day as this will further reduce you metabolism. Add in some creatine. And you will be off to some great gains.

mcds, burger king, KFC, etc.. all fast food do that 2x a day along with your regular meals and you will be straight if not then you must have a faster metabolism than I do and thats pretty sick man.

I wouldnt suggest the fat food as that is not clean food it will just make feel more tired and the salt content is too high. Just eat more meals a day but make sure that you are getting clean fats.

If your metabolism is faster try to add shakes into your program as as pipes suggested having one just before you sleep, one for breakfast and one post workout will be adequate.

Well, if i where you i would eat more often and smaller meals, u will gradually feel more hunger, start training in strict training days and follow a "meal planner" then it wil go pretty fast.. and LOADS of protein.
By the way, dotn have a shake in the frigde cause the protein will dissolve itself.

yeah, the shake in the fridge thing is nasty did it one time with my MRP thinking I could save some time, but naw the taste was horrible and it was wet cement.
