Big Beasts

[powerfromhell]

This is a question for members who have built up to 300+lbs body weight.
How old were you when you first crossed the 300 barrier?
What (training wise or nutritionally) would you say have been the most important factors in getting to this size for you?

Whoops, I read this as "Big Breasts"

The make up of bodyweight can and does vary a lot even here, I think your question needs to be refined a bit. If you just want to weigh 300 lbs plus then eat, eat, eat, eat and eat.

Heck you're only 15lbs away.... even I could put on 15 lbs in a couple of months or less if I really wanted to. Of course it would be nearly all fat and water weight but I sure enough could do it.

Am I the only one that clicked on this because they thought it said "big breasts"...nope apparently not.

"How old were you when you first crossed the 300 barrier?"

I crossed the 300 lb barrier (barrier to what?) on Apr 22, 2010, I was born 24 July 1967.

"What (training wise or nutritionally) would you say have been the most important factors in getting to this size for you?"

A diet too high in carbs and sugar (after previously being on a low carb diet for years..probably left me primed to blow up on a high carb diet). Age..there was a time when no matter how much I ate and ate I wouldn't go more that a few pound above 108 kg, now I just have to look at food and I pack on a couple more pound.

How old were you when you first crossed the 300 barrier?

I was 42. But keep in mind I started competing in powerlifting about 4 months before getting to 300. Prior to that I was still in the afraid to eat mindset like many here, my training wasn't very good prior to that either.

The most important things for me were that I started focusing on lifting more weight, and I stopped worrying about gaining a little fat ( along with quite a bit of muscle ). Setting goals are important for me too. Before I got serious, I never had any real goals, now my goals drive me.

Sometime in my mid 30s I got way too close to 300, thanks to 5 years on prednisone, eating far too many carbs and fatty foods and doing almost no exercise due to the chronic pain from systemic lupus. Thankfully the lupus went into remission, I got off of the prednisone, and got back in the gym and started eating right.

I admit, I was in for the boobs too....Anyway:

I was 35. My "regular" weight was about 260lbs. My lifting weight was about 270.

I decided to go for 300 and detailed my diet and changed my lifting strategies.

I reduced reps, increased lifting weights, and tracked everything. I trained 4 days a week. The only cardio was speed weight training. There were no easy days. I ran through training partners like underwear. They actually cycled who could or would train with me on certain days. Everything else in life was usually secondary to lifting / eating.

My diet was 8000 calories a day, every day, for a year+. I tracked and managed everything. I was more concerned then with appearance and that made it harder to get there.

The hardest part for me was getting in enough calories for recovery and gain. Hard lifting is easier than diet for me. I am a natural endomorph which helps, but my metabolism was so fast it became difficult to gain.

No breasts..................................

I agree, absolutely.

I am a natural endomorph which helps, but my metabolism was so fast it became difficult to gain.

That's exactly where I am now, i.e. my metabolism is so fast it's difficult to gain. I wish it wasn't the case, I'd love to get up to 375.

i went 252 pounds (48 under 300) and i felt great, i like the feel of heavyweight. people look at you w more respect because your bigger and they don't wanna mess wit you. but it's bad 4 my health, i got hi blood pressure and pre-diabetes. now it's all gone due to loss of pounds/fat.

That's the difference between somebody 5'7" and somebody 6'8". If I weighed 252 I'd be nothing but skin and bones. I think I could weigh 400 and look skinny. Either that, or I have bigorexia, lol.

I weighed 262 at 5' 8", and the only thing I was, was fat. Well, that's not accurate. I wound up diabetic and with HBP.

I am a couple of inches taller and also made it up to the 260s. Fortunately I avoided diabeties, but was certainly pre-diabetic and my bp was also climbing. Classic metabolic syndrome. I really don't want to go back there.

lol, i love met/strong man shows on espn, when i was 250+pnds i always showed of my strength at any given time, in parks, moving furniture, picking up things,lol ect. but at my height its too dangerous. i'm trying to make up the difference in lean/muscle mass and hope i get my strenhgth back.
