Anyone start at my weight?

[Metal312]

Hey wm123!

I started out at around 120 lbs and 6 foot ish tall at the end of high school. Over the summer / following year I didn't do much in terms of lifting but I was eating a lot more and had a desk job / college so I didn't move much. Got to around 140-150 ish until my 19th birthday in August I decided I wanted to change.

I joined a gym as my birthday present, and started messing around didn't have my diet sorted, I got some gains but then found this site in Nov, and got a routine thanks to BendTheBar and my diet sorted out.

With the motivation and help of everyone here at the forums I'm around 180-185 now and still bulking! I don't have a recent picture but you can see me at around 160-165 at my training log: Metal's 2010 Goals

I've just taken a week off from lifting and will be back at it tomorrow and getting ready to push some serious weight. I'll have a new picture up soon as well as a correct weigh-in rather then just guessing

It can be done you just have to stick with it and really want to change. I may not be the most muscular guy in the world or have the least fat, but I want to change for the better.

Good luck with your goals my friend.

Wow thats some great weight gain there mate, im in simalar situation to you with being mocked about it, it hurts alot more than people think.

Bend the bar also helped me get on the right track, i was a inch away from quiting. I read through your training log and your workout and eating is very similar to mine, big compound lifts and absaloutly ramming your face full of food lol. However i dont feel i eat enough, i eat 500 extra calories a day usualy more, but on weekends im not consistant. How do you eat so much and so consistantly, i have oat weight gainer shakes twice a day but what else high in calories do you recomend i eat?

REP + for another motivating story and good look to you also

Well for me, it's rather hard getting consistent food through-out the day as I go to college and my classes don't allow me much time to eat. But I've sorted it out thanks to LtL!

Try to get them in 3 hours apart from each other. cal. totals per meal are estimates.
Breakfast: 3 servings of oatmeal in the morning with 2 cups of whole milk = 750 calories
Meal 2: Monster Mass Weight gainer shake with whole milk = 1100 calories
Lunch: Lunch varies a lot so I don't get bored but it usually totals to about 600-700 calories
Meal 4: Another Monster Mass weight gainer shake with whole milk = 1100 calories
Dinner: Chicken, veggies (usually broccoli) and either brown rice or whole grain pasta, with whole milk as much as I can possibly drink. = try to get around 1000 calories
Meal 6: Tuna / peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread. Around 400-500 with a cup of whole milk.

That's pretty much how I do it, try to stay consistent day to day sometimes I'll miss a meal but I'll eat more later on to compensate for it.

High Calorie foods that I love, Rice, Paste, Whole milk!, Potatoes, oatmeal!

And yea meal 6 sounds gross and it is... but gotta love that protein, and it's not to bad PFC ratio for bed If you can handle it that is hah!

Glad you got some motivation out of my log! If you need any help don't hesitate to ask for it, it's all about staying committed!
