I'm 6'3" and about 150 lbs. Pretty skinny, obviously. About a year ago I was 170 but I quit eating so much and lifting so I lost a lot (some was fat, too). Does anyone here have advice for someone like me? I know low reps high weight but no matter how much I eat and lift, I barely seem to gain any weight. Any workout recommendations or dieting I should look into?
Old saying said, "When you get old, even money can't buy your skinny body." When 99% people in modern day try to lose weight and you are trying to gain weight. My wife goes to 24 hours fitness center 5 days a week to lose weight. It's hard work after you have obtained weight on you.
lol, it's quite the twist. Even with a high metabolism I had trouble burning off the little gut I had last year but it wasn't near impossible.
Fast eh....... Hummmmmmmm??? The first step is to learn patience... it takes time! Getting old is a great way to slow your metabolism... I also was 6"3 and 150 pounds a while ago! I could high jump 2m back then! Osu!
Anarch, have you considered getting yourself wormed I am 5'11" and 143lbs. (180cm and 65kg) What with the animals, the kids and the garden i am alway picking up thread worms. After our periodic family worming sessions I tend to put on a bit of weight
One of the ways to gain weight is to follow the GOMAD (Gallon Of Milk A Day) diet (as long as you are lactose tolerant): http://stronglifts.com/gomad-milk-squats-gallon-gain-weight/ http://stronglifts.com/gomad-first-week-experiences-side-effects/ You could, of course, also increase your portion size, eat more calorie dense foods (cheese, nuts etc), do things like add butter/cream/spoonful of olive or nut oil to dishes etc. I would also suggest using a diet tracking programme to assess your calorie intake, something like Fitday or Cronometer: http://www.fitday.com/ http://cronometer.com/
