    There's some evidence to suggest that eating carbs after a workout destroys any Growth Hormone working. The GH should be fueled with as pure protein as possible. I got some Hydro Whey from ON actually and this is meant to be pure enough to release into the muscle as quickly as possibly and give that 20 minute post workout GH the best results. Could be all just marketing but I tend to try stick with the protein for the first while anyway just incase


    Sounds like absolute broscience.

    Losing weight implies burning more calories than what's consumed, or intake less calories than what's burned off. Gaining weight would be the exact opposite. If you're interested in gaining weight, you would have to make sure that you intake a lot more calories than you burn, then your body would start converting these extra calories into fat. Weight loss would start occurring gradually as a result.

    Maybe you should add some more calorie dense foods, some of the nut butters are great nutritious and calorie heavy options, cashew, peanut and almond etc, not too mention being a way better alternative to the bags of sugar aka mass gainers that supplement companies sell.

    Don't get caught up in this bulking and cutting rubbish, this usually leads to more fat gains rather than lean muscle mass.

    If you do it wrong.

    You do anything wrong and you won't get the same results as doing it right.

    I get that but I'm just curious as to why they get a whole workout to themselves but back doesn't but that's just in the context of having the same time constraints for every workout, I suppose.

    Most bro splits its shoulders/calves.

    Hey,

    Make sure your training split is build around hypertrophy not strength.
    Make sure you get your required calories counted by professional. Spread them in meals every 3 hours for quick metabolism.
    Get at least 8-10 hours sleep if you work hard.
    Get supplements if you cant eat-up your calories.

    I had same client like you who couldn't gain weight, he is now heavy and ripped as hell :) You should be blessed that your methabolism is so quick ;)

    If you need professional advise on nutrition or body-building PM me.
