Hey Friend,
I think all hardgainers share one common goal at one point in time in their training plans... hitting the 200 pound marker!
It seems impossible at times.
How can it be done?
Here's a basic mass building plan:
4-5 days of weight training per week.
2-3 cardio sessions (no more than 30 min)
Eat 20x bodyweight (in pounds) for calories (175 lbs x 20 = 3500 cals)
Aim to gain 1 pound per week (won't all be muscle)
This gives you a solid idea of how you can reach 200 pounds and at what rate. It won't always be a consistent climb but with perseverance and the right attitude and the right recipes, you should make it :-)
The BIGGEST problem people have (believe it or not) is eating THAT many calories and NOT getting sick of the foods they are eating.
Try eating egg whites with plain oatmeal everyday for month after month and I guarantee you're going to give up on getting BIG.
But when you look forward to meals, you're more likely to stick with your plan and get the results you want.
Seriously, if you're not eating enough, you are NOT going to gain anything. You have to really pack away A LOT of food in order to grow.
The recipes in Anabolic Cooking take the guesswork out of what macronutrient ratio you should be using and answers the question:
"how can I make eating chicken and rice more enjoyable?"
