    you should be taking in a gallon of water a day roughly, maybe you are falling shy of that.

    Srs. Buy those gallon jugs for $1 at a grocery store, and simply keep refilling it.

    People ask me if im always thirsty because i sip on water all day. Its a habit now to drink water throughout the day.

    lol wut? no. creatine makes your cells uptake water. it wouldnt cause dry mouth. you should already be drinking a gallon of water a day regardless if your on creatine or not. If your not start with that.

    I have roughly 6 shaker bottles helps a lot. Although I drink over a gallon of water a day, what you should try doing is getting a 24 oz or larger bottle and if you are eating 5-6 times a day try drinking one of those bottles with each meal.

    Good idea for those trying to drink more, but ive already built the habit of simply drinking throughout the day. I have my one gallon jug right next to me as i type this. Take it with me everywhere. School, work, gym, friends houses lol

    Joining the group, if you'll have me. 6'2" 165-170lbs. Legs are my weak point, where I know I can put on a good chunk of weight. During hs at one point I was up to 180lbs, also down to 150 after shoulder surgery (no motivation) anyways finally getting into a better habit.

    As for water, drink it, drink it, and drink it some more. I'll go through 3 of the shaker bottles during a workout alone, probably 6 or 7 a day. Take it everywhere. Makes you have to piss like a race horse adjusting to the intake though.

    im aware of that. i drink about 5 litres of water a day (not sure how many galllons that is)

    my doctor thinks the dry mouth is from anxiety, but im trying to cut creatine aswell, because who knows?

    Up and down weekend. Lifted and ate like a monster this week, especially last night...stepped on the scale and saw the highest number I've seen in my life....and up 6 pounds for the week!

    Had sex with my wife last night and lost 3.5 of those pounds. SRS, weighed myself right before and first thing this morning. Must have been a huge load.

    (I guess the 8 hours of sleep may have had an effect too)

    Still up 2.5 for the week.

    I have an appointment with a dietician who wrote an article in our local paper about how it's more difficult for people who can't gain weight than obese people who need to lose it, but all of the attention is on the fat people. Sounds like the doctor for me!

    We're going to set a goal and plan the diet I need to reach it. So excited. I've literally tried everything except a dietician. Had my thyroid tested too, it's fine.


    So, I'm finally starting to see some progress on the scale instead of in the mirror alone.

    Lets hope this dietician is the answer I've been looking for my whole life.

    Yeah I'm usually locked into lumbar extension for the next 24-36 hours after my Intensity Day. Haha! I'm bad, I don't foam roll or stretch, I just eat a ton and try to sleep and hope that I'm not sore for the next workout. I should really fix that. lol

    Thanks...this is literally the first time in my life I've gained weight like this. Something just happened this week and it started working. I visit the dietician tomorrow, so this all happened before that appointment.

    Things are FINALLY looking up, here in my mid-30s!

    nice progress bro, I would have to agree with building your foundation. I know once you get in the swing of things and learn more you will reach your goal alittle faster.

    seems like we are at the same starting point, and same goal, well for now. Once I hit 190 ill aim 210 by end of year. Thats going to be hard as s*** but we will get there slowly but surely. Wanna race to 190, might take me roughly 5 - 6 months since ill want to gain slowly.

    I'm in. I'm really pushing hard for some serious gains before summer. I don't even care if I got some fat, I'm letting go of all pre-conceived issues and just pushing. Big change this week on doing isolated chest work. almost two plates for hammer throw. Wanted to see what I could push for isolated work. Mostly been using bench flys with dumbells. I was worried I couldn't push much, so I started low. Ended up being able to almost double my dumbell bench from 27lbs to 40lbs. I'm just gonna push until I get weight and strength. Racing will keep me motivated!

    Dietician gave me great advice. She's a hardgainer too (actually tried gaining weight the right way as a women...commendable).


    She recommended 2800 cals for me with 1-1.2g protein per pound of body weight. I am aiming for 3000 cals a day though.


    She gave me a ton of foods and additives to foods to boost my cals in a healthy way. She stressed not adding empty or unhealthy calories just to boost my total and we made a nice plan going forward. I introduced flaxseed to my diet this weekend...got a little constipated and when I went the stools were scary dark brown...not black though. There will be an adjustment period for my stomach I'm sure.

    On Saturday, ate 4000 cals with 200+g of protein. That hurt.

    Yesterday, had 3300 cals...not as bad.

    Up between 5-6 pounds in the last week. Whoa....slow down! Slowly watching my abs disappear but I can always cut later, right?



    I am now tracking my protein and calories closely. I realize that even though I thought I was eating a lot, not knowing exactly how much was probably causing me to fall short.

    She also recommended the MyFitnessPal ap as a calorie tracker. It's a great tool.

    Why a split?

    You need to build a solid base before a split will actually be beneficial. I've been lifting for just over a year and still don't do splits.
