When I was 18, I weighed 165 and could bench 240.
Now the numbers are close to reversed.

Originally posted by Jackangel Interesting thread, worthy of resurrection imho. I'm curious about all y'allz nutrition. Especially those of you who made big gains in the bench over time. How often did you/do you eat during the day, what kind of portions, how much meat and other sources of protein, etc... And of course, what kind of routine you had in the gym. In other words, where did you start at, where did you end up, and what got you there. Some of you have already talked about it... For me, a skinny guy (currently 155-160lbs, but have been as low as 140lbs), gaining in strength/mass has always been difficult. The most noticeable gains came when I ate like a ****ing pig, or at least supplemented with various powders. Even then, we're talking small potatoes. I've been on a very strict diet, and I don't enjoy what I can eat for the most part, so I don't eat for pleasure anymore. That means I'd eat 2 or 3 times a day if I didn't pay attention to the nutritional aspect. Unfortunately, that doesn't quite cut it. |
