Anyways, having soccer practice 2 hrs a day, running 6 miles a day, and working out at the gym for 2 hrs a day can make an already fast metabolism even faster. I had probably 3 % percent body fat back then and the only way to keep meat on my bones and not having my muscles eat off each other I would have to eat great meals at each meal time and take in enough calories for your body to take in. I mean good sides, and good main course meal, weight gainer, 5-6 glasses of water a day and what not. Im not talking about a Peanut butter and jelly for lunch and a glass of milk for the right calories on a heavy work out. Drinking lots of water a day will keep you healthy, cleanse out the system and you will never really get sick. Alot of times i would take a supplement b4 i worked out, and eat a great meal afterwards. Never eat b4 you work out, unless it's a suppl. or snack to get you going. These were alot of things i did while i worked out massively and it worked. I mean i ran the 40 yrd dash in around 4.3, the mile in 6:17, and could out muscle guys twice my size. Got 2nd place in the SE bench press competition and even was asked to participate in JR. bodybuilding. Well im not like that anymore lol, but im still in pretty good shape. In order to keep in great shape you have to continually work out. Hope this helps out G/L.

im sorry but i call bs on some of the stuff you claim..in my experience when i was in college. every wr, rb, etc.. kid that came out of highschool claimed 4.4 or 4.5 times. of course i never believed most of them and took them out to the field to see what kind of speed they really had and of all the kids i have played football against on our rec fields about 50 of them were legit sub 4.5 speed. that was out of probably 600-1000 people i have played against over the years. being mr. triathlon a 6:17 is not fast at all for the mile actually its pretty bad if you were a soccer player and all this and that. its good if you can keep that pace for several miles, but just doing one all out mile its not that good. during highschool for our basketball conditioning i ran 6:30mile and i was well down the list for that. i was 5'5 135lb in highschool and put up a legit 245 during football season and i can still do around 225, 7 yrs later and i know im not strong now.I know people in your weight class that put up over 315 at state competitions and still didn't win. so i know there is no way you can be winning or asked to compete in bodybuilding events putting up that number. i dont doubt the fact that your strong but i just think your trying to puff your head up. your insights are okay for the topic but very traditional answers.


There is a nutritionist on this forum that the author should contact. in my experience for weight gain i always minimize cardio if possible. high weight low reps increases bulk but you need to continually confuse your muscles in order to keep gains. when i say confuse your muscles it means to switch up excercises constantly so that your muscles will not get use to a certain excercise. check out bodybuilding forums to help gain weight/mass. although that may not be your purpose they provide alot of help in gaining weight and mass properly. there are alot of weight gainers and supplements that work. i have used bsn products in the past and i experienced weight gains right off the bat. every body is different though so test around and ask questions. i know there is alot of people in here that lift all the time.

I work out at lifetime fitness so if you want to work out there i am there probably 5 days a week. i just lift to live a healthy lifestyle now so im not out to get huge but i can help you with what little i know about the area.
