Lifting weights for a year and NO weight gains???

**Aker** · 11-22-2001, 05:54 PM

Hey all. I'm 14 and I've been lifting weights for the last year. When I started I was fat and weighed around 140-145. A year later I got a six pack, big chest and yadda yadda I work hard and now have something to show off. But, I weigh just about the same. Well, 150 but still I gained 5 pounds in a year??? I'm 5'8, and I have a friend whose 15 who is 5'6, has little muscle (he just started working out but doesn't have much muscle), and he has as much bf as I do. He also weights the same that I do at around 150. What gives????????????????????????????????????????????

Because of your age and your size you burn off fat and calories quickly. Here's the key to packing on the size,

ready?

EAT! EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT

Eat like a ****ing pig, 8 meals a day, try to take in about 3700 cals a day. With about 180g of protein. Get a weight gainer shake if you can aswell.

Yea I already thought of that, and it doesn't work that good. I usta get high (hehe) and eat a SH!TLOAD of food I mean like a SH!TLOAD and all that happened was that it all went to my stomach which I had to burn off (and I ate clean foods w/ high nutritional value and proteion).

You obviously werent eating enough if you were fat and you now have a 6 pack. if you want size, you have to eat like an animal!

I feels good to eat eat eat eat

People are always telling me "****ing stop eating you pig". I can just sit there and laugh!

do you care about your weight or if you look good..... chances are since you started out like me, you want to look good. well now since your looking good, you know whats its time to do.... BULK. i did the same thing one i got ripped from working out and doing cardio. dont worry about putting fat on now. i had the same problem when i started bulking, but you will get over it.

**thegame2183** · 11-23-2001, 01:05 PM

u said u started out at 140-145 fat...now u way a cut 150. You probably lost 5 to 10 pounds of fat and put on 15 pounds of muscle, which is some good gains in the first year of training.

**Aker** · 11-23-2001, 01:20 PM

the game...i think i put on more than 15lb's of muscle. I max for benching was like 90lb's now its 200lb. All i know is i lost ALOT of fat and my skin is VERY strechy cause of this. I do eat alot and I'm not that cut or anything...i dunno iz weird...

**Kutulus** · 11-23-2001, 01:54 PM

yup its all about eating...

**user87745477315471972481** · 11-23-2001, 04:21 PM

this is my result in 3 months so far: Weight has gone up 7 pounds, bodyfat from 21% to 12%, can some one please calculate how much muscle I gained? Thanks (lol I don't know how much 11% of bodyfat is worth).

**Kutulus** · 11-23-2001, 08:33 PM

Gmav, it is possible to lose fat and gain muscle if your obese...

but for non-obese people its a little different

**user87745477315471972481** · 11-23-2001, 09:25 PM

ok, well if 18-22% is obese then that's fine.

**NickM234** · 11-24-2001, 06:30 AM

GMAV obese is like 25% bf. So I doubt your gaining muscle at any signifigant rate while going down to 11%. There are people who lose fat and gain muscle at the same time when they watch their diets very carefully, but it is at a veeerry slow rate.

Lmao, I get the same thing. When I go to Macdonalds for lunch with my work mates, they are just in shock about how much I order. Then they just cant believe it when I go up for seconds, thirds and fourths. I sure do like Macdonalds, twice a day, every day I eat it. It sure does hurt my wallet though.

ok i understand anyways let me tell you my results again from 3 months:

My bodyfat % dropped 8-10% my actual bodyweight went up 7 pounds. Now my question is, how much is 8-10% of bodyfat weightt?

So my muscle gains were 8-10% of body fat weight + 7 pounds, I don't know how much that is but it seems huge to me.

**user87745477315471972481** · 11-24-2001, 10:57 AM

Let me say this again, I am not arguing against I am simply STATING MY RESULTS. They are beyond me why I got them and there's no use telling me it's impossible because this is what occurred and I can't do anything about that.

I am not "coming down" to 11%, I have dropped from about 20% to about 11% in 3 months( I am already at 10-11%) , my weight has increased by 7 pounds in those 3 months.

Meaning I gained 7 pounds + 8-10% of body fat weight.

Please don't try to say I am going to get insignificant gains or anything because it's too late to tell me this already, the results are in and I never expected to gain so much muscle while losing fat, well it happened.

heheh I do it shamelessy, every day between classes I eat a tuna sandwhich or have a protien shake or something(so i eat 3x during school hours), it has become like a daily schedule for other people, "oh ya it's time to watch Vadim shove a tuna sandwhich down his mouth , lets go watch!!"

I am 16 and have a nasty metabolism. I have been between 155-165 since my freshman year and I am a junior now. I have grown at least 3-6 inches in height (not sure of my height in freshman year) and put on some muscle while losing body fat.

**user87745477315471972481** · 11-24-2001, 11:50 AM

err, make that word "Shamelessly"

**Username** · 11-24-2001, 11:57 AM

I eat whatever I want, when I want. Who cares, I burn it of anyways. You don't get big by eating a sliver of chicken breast. I cut the fat of yearly so it's no big deal.

Mmmmm...Pizza with lots of oily, cheesety fat.

**NickM234** · 11-25-2001, 05:13 PM

GMAV how did they measure your bodyfat calipers or water weighing, because calipers can sometimes mess up, the water method is the only way to be 100% sure of your bodyfat.

**mickeys** · 11-25-2001, 06:41 PM

you're still growing and have a very fast matabolism, eat more calories than you can burn
