im 5'9" currently 140. I was 155 and nicely toned with good muscle mass but i got braces and it kept me from eating at all. I dropped 15 lbs like a rock. I'm able to eat now so i'm getting back on training but I'm in the need to gain weight. I can't gain weight for the life of me.

I'm 6'3 weigh 96kgs 8% body fat at the moment (it fluctuates) but i used to weigh 65kgs ..yeah i know haha I was a hardgainer just like you, super fast metabolism and i ate so much but found it hard to bulk up Eventually i did the bodyforlife course, which is ok but wanted more after much searching and comparing found a killer program created by Anthony Ellis, total hardgainer just like us He focus mainly on lifting heavy heavy weights, tempo of 3/0/1 For eg bench press - concentrating on the negative contraction of the rep for 3 seconds down, rest for 0 seconds at the bottom of movement, then 1 second positive upwards motion For me this type of training has allowed me to gain massive amounts of muscle mass quite quickly, 96kg at the moment but i go up to 110kg when im really bulking up and not doing cardio as well. As long as you keep at it really that is the key in anything, consistency It's 4 seperate sessions, each one hour and a half (including 5 min warmup and stretching before and after so total time doing weights equals around 45minutes) sessions per week and no cardio if your body fat percentage is lower than 9% If your body fat % is higher than the 9 you do a variation of the program and also include 3 sessions of cardio between your weight days Another thing alot of guys overlook is that 90% of gaining muscle mass is done in the kitchen, the eating and also sleeping/resting ... your diet and sleep time is extremely important so don't just focus on weights then eat shitty food, if you do so you will only be hindering yourself I can hook you up with a pdf outline of the program if you need lemme kno peace - Ty |

I hate going to the gym and lifting weights. you loose all flexibility.
P90x is hardcore, i recommend everyone tries it, it really does do its job right. about 8 months ago, I split the lateral support ligament on my left knee, from a Omoplata gone wrong. Essentially that, i was the dude at the bottom, the guy on top decided it was a smart idea to lift his body up and slam down on me, and well i heard the *pop* and it was over. 4 months not being able to do anything, i managed to hit 226lbs (im 6'2). after the 4 month period I began cycling hardcore, 15-18 miles every day at 6 am 18-20mph ave., and Saturdays 50 miles with a group 26-29mph ave. ate a little better, and in 4 months I was down to 192. I think i will keep this up, and do some push ups and pull ups, maybe p90x again, but i know for sure my fighting days are over, and so no point in going to a gym.

The guy was sort of new, big fella 265lbs, wrestling background, one of those who is more focused on strength than technique.
it was more a free willy move that he pulled, because he dd not get me of the ground he just lifted his legs and leaped forward, but that is 265lbs of forward leaping. lol. He did not get kicked out, just screamed at, and was put on warning, i have no idea if he is back or not, have not gone back in 8 months. I do miss it, bjj and muai thai is some of the most fun i have ever had while hurting a person. For now i am fully committed to the cycling world. I might start bbjj training again, start small, have some mats in my garage, and well with a couple of friend who trained with me... i do not know about maui thai, I a m afraid of kicking and just by the rotation of the body snap the ligament again. still, loved knowing I was a part of it.... before the fighting I used to play rugby too, for the university, but that ended in rib 7,8 on the right, and 9,10,11 on the left being broken. and dude Ill tell you one thing, that was an impressive hit. even though it hurt, i had to congratulate the guy.

im thinking bout the p90x program. Im not really out of shape but it seems like a great program that works and changes it up a lot. Plus it requires very little equipment which is a plus. Anyone tried it that can vouch for it or think it works well too?

Nice keep it up man. I start school tomorrow and it is going to be a little tricky but at the same time having 2 hours in between classes is going to allow me to use the gym there. But still look at this schedule.

P90X is designed for people like you, those that are in shape but want to kick it up to the next level. If you're out of shape at all then you have to modify in order to keep up. I'm going to give it another go, just need to find the hour a day to commit.
