hey im 22, 5'11 and 180 lbs. i've been looking to boost my weight up to around 195-200 to have a more muscular frame and i was wondering how fast should i realistically see weight gain? im eating near 4000 calories a day and i think over the course of 2 weeks i've gained a couple pounds, making me around 183. the only question is, how can i help turn it into muscle mass and not fat? what are some good, detailed tips.

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Woah hang on there, if you're looking to put on weight the only way to go is by putting on muscle.
Your calorie in-take is extremely important and needs to be measured.
There's a great guide on here by Alex called "The Idiots Guide to Growth" - I recommend you read it over.

Balanced Diet is the way forward. Proteins, Fats, and Carbs - Non Starchy vegetables, eggs, butter, red meat, white meat...natural foods that you'd hunt! Your cells need protein and good fats to repair and build! Fvck the numbers, we aren't programmed to run on numbers! Numbers cause all sorts of problems! You are you not a genrelisation i.e. a number! Do what works for you but keep your diet balanced!! Going by numbers is not the way forward...Type II diabetics go by numbers, and they end up with heart bypass surgery...keep the protiens, fats, and carbs balanced. How much protiens and fats do you need??? Well your gall bladder will tell you that!
Low fat/protein high carb diets are the cause of high cholestoral - and why? Well cos' the body isn't getting cholestoral from good fats and proteins so the liver over-produces the stuff...it has no mechanism to stop! That is why diabetics end up with heart diesease...the high carb low fat diets!!!

Funny how many guys start by eating twice their normal intake of calories to gain wait and then once they gain it, they want it to turn to muscle.. :crackup: I think we should stop using the term gaining weight and change it to gaining muscle.musclyjerk said:Woah hang on there, if you're looking to put on weight the only way to go is by putting on muscle. ..

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
