Provided that I'm not gonna workout for many months, I'd like to know if there's some way I can gain 10 lbs, without it being just fat. I'm still pretty small (5'9 and 155 lbs), is it possible if I eat tons of food and smash myself with cardio?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

No, you can't. You need to apply resistance to the muscle in order for it to grow.

that sounds dumb
through excessive cardio, you're going to burn whatever you've taken in, resulting in weight loss instead of weight gain...common sense!

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

most sportsmen do weight training as part of their regime.Adone said:The fact is that most big people I know (not necessarily huge, but jock-wise big) never lifted in their life, they just ate tons of food and did lots of sports and exercise.
notice most of the college jocks eat like **** as well - their genetics and metabolism allow them that.
the only guys I've met who are huge without weight training are guys who work an extremely physical job like stonemasonry and to be in that line of work you need to have the genetics for it. (huge joints)
(bottom line: if you're not big without lifting weights, you won't ever be)
there's nothing to stop you improving your bodyfat, endurance and cardiovascular ability even if you're not working out. you can also rig up ghetto weights if you have the tools, this can help.

Thanks for the advice Warboss, but I can't lift ghetto weights either, because my wrists are fùcked up.
I'd like to clarify that our perceptions of huge are most likely really different. I'm talking about guys who are like 5'11 and 180 lbs with a 12% bodyfat... nothing exceptional, but definately better-looking and bigger than most folks with 12% bodyfat... Is that attainable through sports and body exercise without weights only?

Possibly, via great genetics. Realistically? No.

What's wrong with your wrists?
I hope you're not using that as an excuse because I had a wrist injury (slight tear of a ligament) myself and I'm still recovering from it, but most excersizes require minimal, if any, wrist involvement i.e. torque.
