Do as they say. I'm seeing some progress with advice from this forum. Also be aware that sometimes it can be genetic

I have strong muscles because I eat properly, I exercise, and because of you all
I also suggest everybody to make some extra money with the 7 dollar method or Agloco.

I'd say try packing in 3000-3500 calories per day with 200 g protein...work up to these levels of course. Idealy you'll eat as clean as you can, but dont' be afraid to indulge every so often!

How old are you? Whats your athletic history like? Train 3-5 times a week focussing on large compound movements like squat, deadlift, bench, shoulder press, dips, chins, etc... Don't do any cardio .. that's the sweet part of bulking.

Don't let that be excuse as to why you can't achieve this physique or that physique,if you put your time in the rest will follow.

Read Alex's Idiot's Guide to Growth.

Eat 1.5-2g of protein per lb of your bodyweight, i.e. you're 112lbs, so between 170-225g of protein daily. As you gain weight, you'll need to keep upping your protein intake. Always aim for 1.5-2g/lb Read the thread linked above for nutritional info and other general information.

You play a lot of soccer, so there's gonna be problems getting sufficient calories to growth, as well as the impact your soccer training is gonna have on your recovery. You'd probably do well taking in 225g of protein, 3500 calories, get yourself on a 2-day training routine, and adjust diet accordingly depending on whether you're gaining weight or not. I'm suggesting 2 days a week only because alongside your soccer, a third day may fvck your recovery ability completely. Try this routine,

Monday
---
Dips or Bench Press 2 x 6-8
Incline Press, or incline Fly 2 x 10-12
Military Press, Or Hammer Shoulder Press 2 x 6-8
Tricep (skull crushers) Extensions or Tricep Pushdowns 2 x 10-12
Heavy Abs 3 x 10

Thursday
---
Pull-Up 3 sets to failure
Barbell Row 2 x 8
EZ-Bar Or Dumbell Curl 1 x 10
Squats 2 x 10
Deadlifts, or Stiff-Legged Deadlift 1 x 10

(routine written by iron addict)

Fit your training in around soccer.

Feel free to ask any questions you have mate.

Be careful with the 1.5/2g of protein per lb of bodyweight rule, this can be EXTREMELY unhealthy from a nutritional standpoint, especially if you don't work up to it. If you suddenly start pouring that much protein into your relatively small body, you risk kidney stones and other health complications. I'd say that 100-120g per day should give you plenty to work with.

I usually hate to be 'scientific' but please provide some evidence that a high protein intake is dangerous for an active, properly hydrated individual who weight trains. Or failing that, tell me one person you know who's had any sort of health problem related to a high protein intake.

Start lifting. Eat more food. If you really need the calories go to McDonalds. Seriously.

That's borderline anorexic. Quality food is not as important for you as much as FOOD in general. Just eat. Anything.

i play soccer in the school team so its really hard to return the calories that i burned?

Stop playing soccer for a season until you get back to normal. Don't expect to put on any weight when you run all day.

Otherwise, live with it. You play soccer like a maniac, you get skinny. Fact of life.

If by unhealthy yo mean he'll get some indigestion for a week from his body not being used to it, then yes.

Otherwise you're dead wrong.

Kidney stones are caused by mineral deposits in the kidneys. Hence the name 'stone'. Because its like a stone. The mineral deposits form little rocks.

They are not caused by a high protein intake. Guess what they are caused by? (Hint: Minerals)


*BZZZZZT* Wrong answer. Care to try another guess? Or maybe suppostition?

Please state more of your opinions as fact.
