A year and half ago I had two transverse fractures in my lower spine, im one of those guys that loses weight when I dont lift , after I healed I got back up to bout 145 then 155 , after aas I hit 178 in this pic I am 170 its a current pic I eat like a horse I work out consistently and like everything I do I give it my best , naturally if everything is right I might gain 5# in a year its just my chemistry but with cycles I can gain 15 to 20 in 10 weeks, so u know I dont have alot of exp I am fine tuning everything but I had a couple of guys say something bout my height and weight say im wasting my time , I personally think its a good start, what do u guys think ?

Always been a hard gainer myself so I understand. It really is the food like these guys say. You have to figure out how to out eat your metabolism. Whatever you eat now, eat more. If nothing happens, eat a little more. Small increments until you start to see a change. As you grow you will need to continue to adjust your eating in order to continue to grow. It's a vicious cycle. All the gear in the world won't help much without the fuel. +1
musseldawg69Thanks bro yeah I was reading up on that link below and holy hell the amount of food these guys are eating 8 k calorie diets and I thought I was eating alot, appreciate the advice it is a vicious cycle hahaha
You've got to keep that in context though. I'm over 100lbs heavier than you, so I need a lot of calories just to maintain. Got to find your level, but never underestimate the amount of fuel it really takes to build a muscular physique. Too many guys and girls just don't get the nutrition right or even close.
musseldawg69Yessir I understand that good point it is a big difference and I appreciate the advice my main focus right now is on diet, im reading lots, I found some of that quinoa looks good aint tried it, trust me im very committed to it, and u know I was impressed with that 8 k right now im going to shoot for around 4k and go from there definitely will not be underestimating it cause I understand the importance of diet as far as packing on LBm goes im keep at it thanks bro for the advice
Looking good brother! +1
musseldawg69Thanks brother appreciate that muscle game
Dont listen to the naysayers. With a metabolism like yours it will be hard to keep the weight but getting shredded should be pretty easy.
Prepforit hit it right on...im in the same boat as a hard gainer myself...it can b frustrating at times but besides real food and shakes, a single protein bar is 300-400 cals 30g protein...its not a replacement but good for in between meals or as a small one.lookin good
musseldawg69Thank as bro im just keep hittin the gym todays leg day 4 me
musseldawg69All this talk about eatin is making me hungry bout to tear up some boiled peanuts right now
You are doing great man. +1
firebossbodybuiding is about self improvement not what the peanut gallery says.great advice from shining star and rusty.thumbs up.
musseldawg69Glad I posted got alotta good input on this one and yeah couldnt agree more sold advice from em thanks brother 2016 is all about getting everything dailed in to perfection
shiningstarYou look good bro, your muscular and trying to put on size sounds like your goal just like most everyone on here, who gives a fuck about what some lames are saying about you and what you're doing, use that shit as motivation and nothing else, most the dudes who have something to say or put others down don't even have a pic and don't know shit about shit lol do you man and good luck on reaching your goals!
musseldawg69Hell yeah this comment just made me feel good and even more motivated brother, believe I will im getting a late start on getting big in life but watch by the end of the year ill be posting a bigger pic, u know Im learning and hitting it as hard as I can, appreciate that ur right ill get there, my old lady is a stay at home mom so I get good home cooking when im not working, right on
Don't worry about the end of the year pic. Focus on the task at hand. Today. Now. Your next meal. Your next body part. Your next pump. If you focus on the future the time spent on that will squander the usefulness of today. Goals are good but remember EVERYONE lives in 24 hr segments and gains are built one meal, one session, one sleep and just one day at a time.
musseldawg69Good advice right there I think sometimes complacency trys to set in, I tend to focus on the future sometimes for sure but you are right no doubt about it
Track you calories and macros. Do it for a week and see how badly you're falling short. Then fix it.
musseldawg69Am I falling short though I think I look pretty good , im just a hard gainer, im on a see food diet I see food I eat it, not a bad idea thou thanks
Are you? Do you have a log to prove you aren't (not for me but for you)? You're 6' tall. I think you probably are. I weighed 170 once at 6'1". I've been all the way to 240lbs. The amount of food needed there is sickening, so I can't maintain that.
musseldawg69No I havent tried a log yet thats pretty good bro so u are naturally lean to I know when im on I eat more and ghrp 6 makes me hungry af but yeah I guess I could try a log out i always been light im bigger now than ever be 4
It will be a big eye opener. Be careful with the seafood. Most contains Mercury and you don't want to be eating more than your body can handle in a month.
Bahaha, I'm an idiot. I get what you were doing there now. I just thought you couldn't spell well.
musseldawg69Lmao yeah it was a pun , still solid advice brother thanks
RustyhookerChat with the food gurus first or its a throwaway of gear. Fast metabolism is all foods. Or you'll be back to lower weight in no time.
musseldawg69And u know I was telling my wife that my biggest battle aint in the gym its in the kitchen haha I eat alot but its mostly meats veggies and healthy foods not alotta carbs in my diet but a decent amount but yeah my keeping weight on is a mug sometimes working on it ill keep reading and keep eating
RustyhookerYou got a great solid base. Its just learning and you can rock it. Makwa and catalyst talk diet a lot. Dont fear carbs with ecto body type. Thats your ticket.
musseldawg69Carb up , thats cool I just friended makwa earlier I figured he'd be a good one for advice , I just got a brand new blender it holds a ton of food in it haha

musseldawg69Alrighty thanks good looking out
musseldawg69I do legs every 3 days and can do 15 one legged squats on each without holding any thing I know u cant see my legs here but they are propitioned
