Thin (really thin!) 35 yr. old male needs opinions.

Hey all, Im a 35 yr. old male who has been skinny all my life. My weight will fluctuate depending on the time of yr.With that in mind, a year ago I tried
two well known anabolics and had gained about 15 pounds w/in a month on them. My weight before was 126, weight after was 141. I really felt young
and energetic while using them, but unfortunately lost all my gains due to
not being able to do a post cycle regimin. I have not used them since then but am thinking about going on them again.. What should someone like me do to maximize my gains and actually keep them?, I know what compounds
do what, but more specifically I'm looking at the cost/benefit deal and what
certain compounds will give me the most bang for the buck. The two I used
were sus250/d-bol btw.

Thanks for your time and help.

Height-weight etc.

Thanks for replying, I'm 5'10". My weight fluctuates between 123/136 i'm a
lot heavier during the winter months (all them thx-giving and Christmas
dinners :rolleyes: . Anyway, as someone whos in his mid thirties, this stuff
really made me feel good (mood wise). Is this normal w/gear?.

what I used: Muscle techs, cell tech/nitro tech along with the gear. I ate
like a pig too!....lots of fish, red meat, oatmeal, brown rice etc. I tried M1T
initially, but that stuff gave me a migrane.

the reason you dont gain is b/c you dont eat!! You say your weight fluctuates during the holiday season b/c youre eating more. Just think if you eat more all the time

http://forums.steroid.com/read-here-first/113010-unoffical-how-bulk-thread-sample-diet.html

Read this thread and eat like this every day and I guarantee you will put on some size. Steroids dont work unless you know how to eat and without that solid base you'll lose most of the gains

If you don't make a commitment to health(Diet) and fitness(training) for a lifetime endeavor,then it will be a total waste of time for you to run a cycle.Especially at the weight you are currently.It's obvious you don't have the discipline needed at this point to maintain gains made off a cycle.Once you can make a 100 % commitment for life(Health/fitness),then I'd consider running a cycle.In the mean time,I'd focus on diet and training.

Thanks for the tips

Hey all, thanks for the help. Obviously, at the time I was on the gear, I understood the importance of diet. What I want to tell all those who say
I need to eat. I do eat, we (a four member household 2 of which are under
the age of 7) are on the hook for a four hundred dollar a month grocery
bill, so I do eat, and eat a lot, its just my present metabolism just does not
allow me to keep on any weight. Over the last fifteen yrs. I have gone thru
every trick and gimmick known to man, and the assistance I recieved from
some friends was the first time I have ever experienced explosive growth
on that level, and in such a short amount of time. So yeah, I eat a lot. I
know my training regimin could use a serious kick in the rear, but thats the
least of my worries. Anyway, thanks for the tips, I hope to hear more.

i spend more than that on food and I live by myself and am quite a concientious shopper too!

Do you know how many calories you eat everyday? How many cals come from protein, carbs, and fat? These are things you need to know.

www.fitday.com can help you track these things

No matter how much you think you eat a day you should count up all the cals you eat on an average day. Also, count up how many grams protein, carbs, fat you eat. Then we can see if you eat enough to gain weight. Also, since you are a hard gainer, you need more cals then the normal bodybuilder to gain weight since your metabolism is so high. Keep this in mind.

I don't know exactly what you are eating, but to say you eat a lot and weigh in at 126 or even a whopping 140 at 5'10" is simply not adding up. As for metabolism...I know there are hard gainers but damn....i would assume that a solid 6 meals a day with high metabolism would mean great gains in lean mass.
I guess the the information most of us want to know is "what is your typical daily food consumption?" What are you typically eating on a daily basis...just write that out for us...to kick things off....hopefully your response is better than Tommy Maddox' throwing arm (the bastard!!). Sorry for the outburst...I'm still bitter about that loss. AND it is that SOB's(Maddox) fault.

My hat goes off to you bro. 67 pounds in 10 months. What the f, over? That is tremendous. GREAT JOB. Honest. I'm not being a dip-shiat. I really think thats a job well well well done. Question: Were you always in the 130lbs range or did something happen and you(surgery or massive depression) dropped weigh?

Having a good diet is harder than knowing how to lift and having a good traning routine. You just cant make omelets without eggs! Understand?

i was in the 140's.. then me and my soon to be ex-wife started having problems. i was deeply depressed actually went down to 120lbs for awhile. just wasn't eating, sick to my stomach, etc. started drinking heavy... then in january i had to make a choice. keep drinking and feel sorry for myself, or use the pain and anger to my benefit. i had lifted before for years but never seriously. so i joined a gym, lurked around here reading on the diet forum, and made a lifestyle change. didn't drink for months. i literally worked, ate, trained and slept.

not trying to hijack the thread... just thought i'd let him know it can be done, but it is a lifestyle thing... especially if u are older and don't have all that test running thru your body..

Unless you have a wasting disease, I'm going to respectfully tell you that you don't eat enough. Eat enough, and I promise that you will gain weight.

If you are sure that I am wrong, then I ask you to please start a log of everything you eat and post it. Then slowly increase your caloric intake. Eventually, you will begin to gain weight.

Many inexpensive foods that can be used for bulking. Peanut butter, bread, rice, sweet potatoes, etc.

btw: those gains from your cycles were mostly water weight.

PS I was 145 lbs a year ago. Weighed in at 198 yesterday at the doctor's office.

"I EAT A LOT"

When I first started that's what I used to say, but then I added up my calories, and came out to be around 2300.. :rolleyes:

So you need to do 2 things
1)RECORD your calories, not just think "I eat a lot", shoot for 3.5-4k calories!
2)Split it up into 6-8 meals during the day.

Dude... i weighed in at bout 88lbs when i 1st started gym.
I was literally smaller than many girls...
After 3~4yrs of training i went up to bout 140lbs all naturaly
Did loads of reading and research on AAS and only
considered it when i thought i was ready...
I did a 10week Sust250 cycle... managed to keep all 15lbs i gained
Btw i'm 5'6"... but yea... just go checkout the diet forum...
I used the clean bulk diet... really helped...
Now if i didn't get some food chucked down my throat
every 3hrs i would die of starvation....
Force feed ureself at 1st and sooner or later u'd
get usd to it...trust me on this... being 88lbs and
gainin 50lbs naturally wasn't easy but it feels great
once you've done it.
Basically eat eat eat every 3hrs and train smart
Good Luck
