Ahazmaksya Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Ok, your here if you wanna gain weight. I currently weigh 63, wanna get to 68 for a short term goal. how long should I give myself to do this? Ok who else is wanting to put on some meat?
YODA Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 I assume we're talking Kilos? What training do you do now? It depends on how much weight training you've done & to what level. If you're new to weights I'd say you could put on 5kg of muscle in about 6 months if you're a "hardgainer".

Jack Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 I think I fit into this club just right, I'm currently 59kg and would like to get up to a nice 65kg. I've been off the weights for a month or so since I got the flu, and after this weekend I'm training 5 days a week for the next 2 weeks with skill and endurance pretty hardcore, I'll probably lose a fair amount of weight there. After that, I think I'll go back on the weights. Going to try to strengthen my knees, then I can add Squats to the mix which will help a lot in lean weight gain! The only problem - my dad. He's very misinformed about diet and thinks I worry over Protein too much, the fact is I get about 80 grams a day and need a good 100, he doesn't seem to understand this though. I think I'll need to calmly point him to this site for a little, lol. Good luck everybody, you can all achieve your goals. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com

Ahazmaksya Posted March 23, 2002 Author Posted March 23, 2002 What equipment should I get and how much should the stuff weigh for someone get who is just starting weights. [ This Message was edited by: Ahazmaksya on 2002-03-23 00:28 ]
Jack Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 It all depends on your strength Ahazmaksya, not your weight. For a starter, a barbell/dumbell set in which the Barbell can be put up to 50KG with all the weights on sounds good. Ease into the Weightlifting - do it once a week for the first week, then twice a week for a few weeks. When you feel entirely comfortable with that, you have the option of training three days a week. Start with light weights before piling on the pounds! Kicker, ease up on cardio a bit and do more muscle developing exercise. Eat plenty of Protein and increase your caloric intake.
