    What do you guys do when you get sick? Im checking in for some motivation, im almost 13 weeks into a bulk now and ive been sick for about a week and a half so ive been slacking on the diet a bit and i missed a bunch of workouts. Hope i can get back on track soon. Im hoping gains will start coming faster again after a little bit of a break.

    Dude if you see where i started from you will see that it is possible. Started out 6'6" 151lbs now im 6'7" 205Lbs. The gains are slow iv been working on my phsique for a solid 6yrs. You have to eat Clean an Eat big. Eating every 2hrs through out the day. your diet should be straight Chicken,tuna,ground turkey an some lean red meat. Along with whole grain pasta,brown rice, eggs/eggs whites you want to do a 2:10 ratio 2 whole eggs to 10 egg whites. Start eating heathy fats I.E olive oil, Avacodo. Lots of veggies but stick to stuff that actually has nutrition in it. Broccoli,squash,carrots,zucini. Now your not gonna see any gains with out consistancy. Eat Sleep an Gym have to be your only prioritys. You have to make sure you are getting in every meal an every work out every week. Work or School then its gym. If you dont have time to go to the gym then you dont have to go out with friends. If Hanging out is your priority then just be prepared to be skinny your whole life cause hard gaining takes dedication an discipline an ton of hard work. Ill be there to motivate you any way I can but just remember you cant achieve anything if you quite. Now pick up that fork an start giving your body the fuel it needs to tear the doors off then gym an split the sleeves onyour shirt. GetBigOrDyeTrying.

    I rarely get sick, but I have to say what will help is taking vitamin C everyday. It has lots of benefits but def helps keep your immune system strong, especially after taxing it hard after a workout. I take roughly 2000mg right now per day. 1000 mg in morning then 1000mg right after workout. But my advice would be to keep eating, normally when you get sick you lose some gains/ weight. So I would make sure you get your meals in and try to recover by getting enough sleep. I wouldn't workout until you recover, hitting them gym when your body's immune system is weak can set you back further. Side note, sometimes it's not a bad to take a week off from the gym or Acouple of day. Just get ready to hit the the gym hard when you recover fully!

    Hey everyone. First time posting here. I'm not currently working out, I've been trying to get it to fit into my schedule, but between job, church, and family, there is hardly time to eat and sleep right now, let alone get to the gym. I was working out this summer, but since school started and I started teaching music lessons, the time just flew away. Hopefully this coming semester I will be able to be more on top of things and get to the gym for a little at least a few times a week.

    I was working out 2 years ago (before I started current job, got married, moved to AZ, ...) and gained 10 pounds. I now only have 5 of that, and am 6'2" and 150. I want to get to 175.

    Have you tried 405 on deadlifts yet? we are racing there now, you can join if you like ...
    fail, just saw you hit 455 + for deadlifts. Dam.....lol
    Yeah I'm glad you pulled me in here, this thread will be just the motivation I need, and hopefully I can help people out along my way. I love squats so hard, easily my favorite exercise, even over bench. 405 Dead, who me? My max is 350x5, I failed 360x5 for the last two weeks. Taking a step back and gonna do 350x5 again this week. Should be fairly easy after the lightened squats (deloaded to 310 this week). On my way though! My goal is 455

    Boy, if there is one thing I personally cannot stand! It's missing a workout. It just makes me feel sick to my stomach and depressed because I missed on the gains I could have gotten. I was sick last monday (7 days ago), woke up vomiting and stuff. Went to the gym to spot my partner anyway, even though I made frequent trips to the bathroom. I did my best to keep my diet up, rest enough, and take in deadly high amounts Vitamin C. And by rest I mean 2 naps a day, stayed home, didn't do anything. Wednesday I did my usual workout, unfortunately I failed on my deadlift because I didn't get to do the leg strengthening squats on Monday that I should have done. As long as you stay consistent with your program, you should rarely get sick, I know how you feel though. Just get enough rest and don't try to do too much too quick cause it'll end up screwing you over and you'll be down even longer. Good luck getting healthy again, once you get there, stay that way!

    Thanks a lot, I've been workin pretty dam hard. I was motivated as all hell when I was in the Marine Corps because I wanted to be as strong as the guys around me, while staying the same size that I was. Now I just want to be as strong as my body can be.

    Nope, I started with Mehdi's SL 5x5. I was running it with a partner from January (about the 4th) to September (20th or something). I hit 315 squat for the first time on June 2nd right before returning from Afghanistan. June and July I pretty much took a break from the gym and then deloaded squats. I worked my nuts off to get back to 315 squat, and then made it to 320 before stalling pretty hard, so I switched to Madcow. I've loved it so far, just did my first deload (about 8%, from 335 to 310). Focusing on form and depth now.

    At 5'8" and 103 (I'm amazed by those stats...are they real?), it should be fairly easy for you to gain...and this is coming from someone who is an incredibly-frustrated hardgainer who is trying hard and failing at gaining weight.

    You're very underweight though. Load up on healthy calories like yogurt and protein shakes made with whole milk. Actually, you should just eat everything in sight. You need sugary stuff. Just eat and lift as heavy as you can.

    Nice stuff.

    Im currently 9 months into training and loveing it. My pressing movements are weak, i need to get bigger and thicker for those to go up really, but i love squats and deads, especially deads.

    I pulled 330x5 today. I smoked 325x5 wednesday, but today 330 was a grinder.

    If anyone is up to the challenge, we can race to a 405 DL

    Good pulls, impressive gains for such a short time! This is me patting you on the back. Your deadlift isn't too far behind mine, I think the whole skinny group is racing to 405 dead aren't we? Either way, I'm in on that chit. only 55 pounds to go!

    405x1? or 405x5?

    Goodnight everyone ! Don't slimp out on your sleep!
    I'm just recovering from a bad sinus infection myself...ten days out of the gym so far...have lost several pounds and probably quite a bit off my lifts. I've been doing an upper/lower split...will probably start back late this week doing whole body compounds at about 70% of my last lifts...light card and stretching...probably do that for a week, then start trying to up the weights back on my upper/lower split. I'm a 56 yr old hardgainer....gained about 12 lbs in first yr back lifting...now gotta get back to that, then try to strt new growth...good luck to you!
    I do face pulls because I want my shoulders to love me.

    Losers quit when they're tired; winners quit when they're done.

    I pulled 330x5 today. I smoked 325x5 wednesday, but today 330 was a grinder.

    If anyone is up to the challenge, we can race to a 405 DL
    im down, in all honesty i could probably pull it right now but i dont wanna go for my old max when i havent deadlifted consistently. PM me for details

    405x1? or 405x5?
    405x1 was what i was thinking, but whichever you guys prefer really. And dont stress yourself and attempt 405 too early just so you can win an invisible cookie.

    Personally, im going to wait until i can get 385x4-5. That way a 20lb jump wont affect my training very much. My main goal is to pull 405 on March 1st (my 1 year mark of training)

    Yeah, smart thinking. You don't want to blow your back out dinking around. I'm gonna take it slow too, gradual gains is all that matters.

    "Dam seems like we are looking to do the same, you are taller but, I def want to hit 200 and then see what I look like. Probably will have to cut down from there though. Props for getting your diet worked out, most people don't really look too much into what actually they are intaking. 25lbs more to go, not too far off! Whats your time frame for the 25lbs?"

    Hopefully July i will gain that much, that is what i'm aiming for atleast

    7 months, good goal man! Keep up the gains. I don't really have a time frame on gaining my 20, I was thinking June and then I'll see where I'm at then. I want to be 185 lean.

    yeah thanks, bulking is harder than i thought it would be, i'm always eating and trying to get 2 lbs. protein for every pound i weigh but not trying to dirty bulk and just eat trash food, so eating healthy and a lot is more expensive than i thought it would be haha

    It's super expensive. My metabolism is high as phuck!! so I'm just dirty bulking. "Hey dude! are you gonna eat the last half of that big mac? No?" Poverty status. not srs. But it really is expensive. That's where homemade shakes and cooking everything yourself really helps out. I'll post my weight gaining shake recipe in a minute.

I was working out this summer, but since school started and I started teaching music lessons, the time just flew away. Hopefully this coming semester I will be able to be more on top of things and get to the gym for a little at least a few times a week.

    I was working out 2 years ago (before I started current job, got married, moved to AZ, ...) and gained 10 pounds. I now only have 5 of that, and am 6'2" and 150. I want to get to 175.
    I SO know where you are I am just a bit ahead of you, but not far. I have a full time family life, children, household.. and some work and some social responsibilities.. It is so hard to find the moment for ME.
    Have been working out for some time now though.. In spite of everything. And I feel great. I use a workout program found in internet - for beginners. Nothing special but works fine for me.
    I try to keep up my motivation - which for me is the hardest thing. I use a software to help me track my progress: fitsmarty.com. And find it quite motivational.
    But in the end - you have to be the one doing the work..

    Sorry, got side tracked cooking, eating, cleaning... bulking is a bish.

    Hardgainer Post Workout Shake of Awesomeness
    16 oz whole milk
    2 scoops whey (I use GNC gold standard double chocolate)
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    3 tbsp peanut butter
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp honey
    2/3 cup frozen mixed berries
    (con cret) optional of course
    1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

    I also use this between meals. I'll drink a whole one after my workout, half of one after breakfast, the other half after lunch. If I'm feelin squirrely I'll have one after dinner, but usually I'll just eat 1.5 cups of cottage cheese before bed.

    The whole thing is about 1350 calories and it ends up being 30 oz. It's really heavy on the stomach as a whole thing, but if you split it into 2 doses (for in between meals) it's not too bad and it won't interfere with your appetite too much.

    edit: nutritional facts via "myfitnesspal"
    total fat 65
    sat 21
    poly un 9
    mono un 25

    cholesterol 162
    sodium 753
    potassium 571

    sugars 63
    protein 83

    Vitamins
    A 18%
    C 35%
    Calcium 88%
    Iron 23%

    Nutrition facts will vary based on what brand ingredients you use. This is what it is for me after inputting all ingredients into myfitness pal.

    Stay hungry my friends.
