Growing Extremely Fast

I've worked out on and off since I was 16 but only one time for a good amount of time which was about 7 months, which isn't long at all.  Anyways been working out again since February.  I've went from 183 pounds when I first weighed in to 210 pounds now.  I still have a little bit of a belly and need to lean up on the sides but have put on some serious mass.  I eat 6 full meals a day.  I workout every morning around 7 am..The meals I eat are extremely lean.  I've put on a lot of size.  My workout is excruciating, I do cardio every single day 6 days a week abs 3 days a week.  Chest Monday, Back Tuesday, Legs Wednesday, Shoulders Thursday and Arms Friday, more triceps than Bicep because it does make your arms look bigger.  Usually do 3 sets of bi and 4 sets of tri.  Currently I am on a 20 rep Warmup 12, 10, 10, 8 rep work out.  I recommend to anyone who is just starting to work out to do all 20's for the first couple of months.  I've realized my strength dramatically increased over that time frame.  I guess I started this thread to start posting my results.  I workout daily with my dad whom is a absolute monster.  He has competed in a body building show and is working to compete in one again in October.  Anybody had this kind of gain in this short amount of time?

My diet mainly consists of ground sirloin or ground chuck, Chicken, Eggs (mostly whites), canned tuna and salmon.  On the Carbs oatmeal, white potatoes, yams, ezekial bread, white and brown boil and bag rice. 

Broccoli, asparagus, walnuts and almonds, avocados, pineapple and apples.  

Fruit only in the morning.

 That's a pretty good gain in 3-4 months. I'm sure you've put on a few fat lbs. with the muscle but you almost have to to produce an anabolic state for growth. Certainly can't argue with your diet. I don't believe I've ever made that big of gains that quick.

 Good job  

 I like hearing stories like this.........gets me fired up to lift harder.

Yeah the diet is rough to start with.  It's just consistency with the diet and developing a routine like anything else.  Oh of course I've thrown on a few fat lbs, but my goal is to get big, I'm actually trying to trim now, even though I would like to not lose any weight.   I'm anxious to see the way I'd look at 225.  I'm only about 5'9" maybe closer to 5'10".   I've actually cut my diet a little, I was eating 7 meals a day and a lot more calories.  I've cut that in order to try to get rid of this extra fat I have left.  Like for instance my last meal I don't do any carbs.  Normally I take a salad a pretty good sized one and throw in 3 cans of tuna.  Now I'll probably cut that to 2 cans of Tuna.  The other thing I find important is water intake I try to get a gallon a day.  I do drink diet pop religiously though.  Coke Zero, Diet Mt Dew and Diet Dr Pepper

Good stuff whodey

If I where you I would drink even more water and switch the soda to diet green tea. Stating hydrated will help you workout more and help your body get rid of waste.

Keep us posted

I used to drink a lot of the diet green tea I love it.  I don't drink so so much diet pop.  I have maybe 3 or so a day.  I honestly don't know exactly how much water I drink but I do drink a lot.  I mean I usually have between 4-5 bottles just at the gym.

Thanks man I will.  Probably update here around the middle of June.

Seem pretty focused over there ..... 20 pounds of muscle is quite a bit.  Cafeful cuz could get stretch marks though.

I like your 20 reps idea.  That'll keep things lean.  I think most I've ever put on is 10 pounds or so over a few months.  Could of been more with some fat loss.  Don't know.  It's hard to measure.

Lately been mixing high rep with real low reps once a week or so.  Low reps being a max of 4-5.

The low reps really build strength a lot faster but went a few months (the winter) with basically nothing but pushups and pullups and didn't lose any strength but added low reps two months ago and there is much more strength now.

Whatever you were lifting before the low rep...... do the low rep and go back to the previous weight.  It's like lifting air.

Speaking of high reps........ 20 is high for most weightlifters but some of the trainers now will do it in time increments.  A minute or more of rows or something which is around 50 or so.

Lower weight obviously but it will shock your system.  One highly respected trainer over here does 100 reps once a week.

Sorry for all the posts.........   but I love working out.  Going to the gym now

Best exercise I've ever come across is a basic wind sprint.  Full speed.  Doesn't take many.  Maybe one or two at first and you might not be able to walk the next day.  Then ramp up to 5-10 of them.

The leg muscles are the largest muscles in the body and burn fat 24/7.  There are fat and skinny runners but never seen an ounce of fat on a Sprinter.  Most of those guys are jacked.

Most of our workout and diet comes from a professional bodybuilder.

Actually next workout will probably be super sets..

We work out extremely hard.  I mean we don't waste any kind of time in the gym.  After all when your fatigued is when you grow the most.  I mean its literally my dad goes I go, no rest besides waiting on the other to finish.  We work out with high intensity.  I love working out too and the posts are fine any recommendations and other points of view always help.

Shoulders = DONE  .... been 3 weeks since did that one.

Presses, rows, shrugs, raises.

That is hard to do for a lot of people.  Can be a mofo.  Did that last Spring to take a few pounds off.  Can be a ball buster.

Switch the white potatoes to sweet potatoes....much better for you, trust me...Good progress my man! 

have you taken any supplements?  I took Epistane, puts on weight, but cuts you like none other.  It is great.

DONT BURN YOURSELF OUT HOMEY!!!!!!

First off, I dont want you to think I'm calling you a liar or being an ass. But thats a 27 lb. weight gain in 3 months. That cant all be muscle. If even half was muscle it would be impressive...

I do yams and white potatoes.  White potatoes just early in the day and yams at anytime. 

I agree its probably not all muscle but I'd say half or if not more is.  The thing is I to myself was starting to look chubby when I first started.  Now I'm lean pretty lean I've always been a thick guy.  So I don't know how much of this is muscle and what not.

No supplements I just take an assortment of vitamins.  I do a meal replacement shake before the gym with glucosamine, that's it at this point.  

I'm used to it every time I've worked out its been this way.  I don't sit there and talk and make it a big social event like most do.  I'm there to handle my business.

I mean glutamine

I hate when I go too fast

Weighed 214 today at the gym.
