Im getting a little older (19) and need help with weight gain?

Question

Im 5'10'' weigh around 155-160. Im getting a little older 19 and am in college right now really wanting to get bigger but I dont want to bulk up to much and I still want to be defined. I want to weigh about 180 with no fat. I havent workout since my senior year and Im just now starting to get back into it. I was just wondering how long it would wake to ganie around 20 pounds and how to do it.

Answer 1

Take protien shakes and go to the gym EVERYDAY! work harder and push yourself harder every week.. like u bench so much one week then put it up like 10-15lbs and just do a few until you can handle all thats weight. Don't run as much, 10-15min cardio, ... that makes you loose weight. there's leg and stomache exercise machines there too, take advantage. So protien and weights everyday (if your really devoted) I'd say 4-5months maybe 3, depending on your body.

P.s. Don't forget to eat your meat!

Answer 2

brewing yeast. It has a lot of vitamin B, too. It will make you gain

weight in a week. Either buy at pharmacies, as supplement, or in any

place which specializes in brewing. Three pills a day/three tablespoons a day - depends on the product, and you are there. Good for bones and hair as well.

Answer 3

What ever you do don'tt take protein shakes or anything like that ...

They do far more harm then good...

Answer 4

Let us evaluate and see what category you fall in. Let us use 19 yrs, 160 lbs and 5' 10" as in-put but you can play with it later too. You can still grow, so grow garace fully, you are far from being old.



http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht...

This site has two answers they are, per Peoples Choice Ideal Weight: Your weight should be 160 lbs, and per Medical Recommendation: It should be between 132 - 174 lbs.

http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi....

Above site puts you in the The normal category range, but close to on the over weight side. This is ok since you are still growing and as a rule it goes alternate, you get fat a little and then shoot up and look lanky (thin), so do not worry, doctors use both this sites.

So you need to do nothing but just go to a library and find body parts specific exercises and do it. Include, strenth, bic rides on regular bases and swimming. Just watch it so it does not get out of hand.

Please read the articles and surf the site and come up with your own customised pragram that you can live with and just follow it. Use every thing as a guide line and for info only. If you must put on 20 lbds then it can be done very easily, just build the body.

Body Building

BY

You are blessed.

Most people put on weight after age 40.

Any way before you try any thing, see a doctor to rule out any abnormalities (Hormone, Pituitary).

Remember it is ten times easier to put on the weight then to take it off.  

Body building is opposite of weight loss. But you must understand weight loss in order to build body.

I will include my article on weight loss also.

Most people eat protein reach food and complex carbohydrates, with one thing in mind, that they have to exercise 6 days a week and they have to eat more than what they burn off each day.

If you eat about 300 to 400 more calories per day then you burn off, you have a weight gain of slightly less than one pound per week.

You need to eat about 4000 calories per day minimum.

If that does not work than slow down your exercises routine.

In extreme case you will not exercises for two weeks at all, followed by vigorous exercises routine for six weeks. Repeat this cycle again and again till you reach your goal.

Who needs to loose weight?

Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.

According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.

What is the reason for being over weight?

This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.

If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

Eat

What should be your proportionate in take of fat, Proteins and Complex Carbohydrates?

This depends on what your need are.

1. Need to reduce fat.

Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 30 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.

Proteins: 60 percent of 1500 calories per day = 900 calories.

2. Need more energy.

Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 40 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.

Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 25 percent of 1500 calories per day = 375 calories.

Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

4. Need to increase muscles bulk, but still reduce weight.
