Thread: Cycle for bean poles

  1. #1

    Cycle for bean poles

    I am 6'2" and back down to about 160 lbs. I have been up to 190 in the past, but it was mostly non muscular weight gain. Weight gainer, milk eggs, etc..., and my workout routine.
    I don't know why I cannot keep weight on, even body fat, but I always lose weight the more inactive I am. I am pretty sure I have a metabolism on overdrive.

    Being as skinny as I am and having to work ridiculously hard to gain muscle weight (Naturally), could somebody recommend a cycle for somebody of my build.

    I am absolutely fed up with the extensive amout of time it takes for me to gain natural muscle and I am ready to take the next step.

    I know I will probably get ridiculed on this forum, but I am really tired of being the bean pole, and yes I am kind of looking for the easy way out. And yes, I do know I have to work hard when I get back into my routine.

    Oh, one last thing. I am also looking for something that will help my stamina. I do compete in MMA and I am trying to avoid slowing down my striking ablility. My record is currently 4-2 and three of my wins are my knockouts.

    Alright, let the criticizing begin, and any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.

    i used to be really skinny too and thought just how you thought. it's really all about diet and training intensity. at 160lbs just to maintain your weight you'll need about 2500 cals. and that's with out expending any calories with training. too gain 2 lbs a week u'd need and extra 1000 calories a day. so then you'd be at 3500. but depending on the energy expenditure at the gym you'll probably wanna be taking in 4500-5000 cals a day. have a diet high in carbs, protein and low in fat.

    the more you weigh the more cals you'll need to maintain your weight so u need to take that into account.

    yea with all the intense cardio your doing and a metabolism like that your gonna have to eat like a horse to put on size.I'm just wondering,if you compete in mma,why would you want to put on a whole lot of size?I can understand wanting to put on some muscle and and get stronger but isn't mma all about cutting weight to fight in a lighter weight class?
