So, the schedule for a year (starting in January) would be:

January and February - in the gym six days a week (doing supersets) and eat six good meals a day. The goal is around 5,000 to 7,000 calories. Cardio isn't necessary because the supersets bust your a$$.

March and April - in the gym three or so days a week, standard weight workout, but don't bother to push it. You're going for maintenance. Two days a week of cardio, but don't go crazy or you'll start to eat into the muscle.

May and June - repeat Jan/Feb

July and August - repeat Mar/Apr

Sept and Oct - repeat Jan/Feb

Nov Dec - repeat Mar/Apr

At the end of a year you have worked out hard for six months and had six months of maintenance workouts. Trust me, you will be sick of eating during the hard months, but feel refreshed during the easy months and ready to go hard when the two months off are up.

This is a very common exercise program that has been around forever. The key is to get lots of good calories during the hard months and to tap your muscles like crazy. You should get a cheap hand massager type thing from Wal Mart to help your body recover during the hard months. The off months are easy. Just keep a routine, eat three normal meals and rest up for the hard shit that is coming.

I went from a size 38 jacket to a size 44 during the year and had to keep buying bigger and bigger shirts!

^^^I'm a little guy w/a fast metabolism. I've been working out for just over a month and have moved up in weights but I still weigh the same as before I started working out. I think I'll try your method... Sounds like a work out and then some!! FYI - I've been using muscle milk (premixed), one in the morning and one immediatly after I work out in the evening. My problem is that I don't eat enough. It feels like a chore. I've heard the same with creatine (kidney). I've also heard that it makes you pack on alot of water weight. True/False?? I've never used it.

 

make sure you ingest protein and simple carbs before you work out, and again after. muscle milk alone after you workout isn't enough. prework out I have a whey shake, some oats or ww bread, and the same after with a banana. Alternately, you can have a full meal of protein, complex carbs, and a starchy vegetable like a potato or yam 60-90 minutes before workout.

There is no replacement for solid food, I am not taking any supplement and have not taken anything in 5 years. i weight 200lbs with 32 inch waist and I am asian. You don't see many big asians around. You have to eat. I get in between 5-6 meals a day, small meals right now b/c it's summer time. I gained 10lbs in a month just by eating 5-6 big meals a day but do watch what you eat. I've talked to a few personal trainers about gaining sizes, they all said the same thing. You gotta eat. The supplements are only for when u can't eat a meal.

Also you need to find out what works for you. i.e. work out routines and reps. everyone is different so you need to try a few things before you have a set routine in the gym.

Hope that helps.

 

try eating whatever you want, worked for my wife
