Hello everyone I am not sure if this is the right place to be posting this but I'm going to give it a shot. As the title says I want to GAIN some dam weight and I need you're help.
I am 22 year old male 5"10, 140 lbs. I have been around the 135-145 mark since i got out of high school (4 years ago). Now that I am living on my own and can have time to do what I want, I REALLY WANT to start gaining some weight.
A little history.I was a late bloomer when i was in high school and never hit puberty till i was 16 maybe even 17. I feel like I am not done growing because my metabolism is off the charts. I also don't have chest hair / facial hair ( my father is a austin powers look alike when it comes to hair ). Or maybe i COULD be wrong and this just how my body is going to stay
although it would be nice to stop looking like i'm 16 when i'm 22 years old with a very good career / future hah! anyways lets get to my diet / work out patterns.
Everyday i eat 3-4 eggs in the morning( scrambled or sunny side up depends how i am feelings ), 4 strips of high quality bacon( i love my bacon! ), 2 pieces of healthy bread with jam. ( whole seed and grain bread )
through out the day i eat 2 bananas, 1 orange, 5-6 strawberries, 2 hand fulls of green peas (in the shell), 2 fiber one bars, 2 mini cups of SHAPE yogurt, 2 hard boiled eggs, either a peanut butter sandwich or tuna sandwich or 1 chicken breast and some mashed potatoes
when supper comes around i tend to eat salmon and mashed potatoes or 2 chicken breast and mashed potatoes or a tuna sandwich or sausage w/ mashed potatoes. Before bed i will have a shake with 2 bananas 4 strawberries and 2-3 scoops of protein ( 23g protein per scoop and 120 calories per scoop its called bioactive whey protein sensations )
That is not everyday but its what I try do do sometimes i might not have the strawberries or bananas because i ate em all!!!
For exercise i have fairly labour intensive job i'm rarely sitting. I probably work out at home 5 days out of the week. Which consists of 3 sets of pushups till i fail with little breaks between each set ( comes to around 100 pushups [i switch between wide grip and regular pushups] ), then i do chin ups 3 sets till fail ( comes to around 30 chin ups ), I have a set of 25 lb dumbbells which i do 3 sets of 12/10/8 reps, then i do a 10 min ab workout which burns like hell ( dam ab workouts !! ), I also go lane swimming 2 times a week. then just random activities.
I have a weak bone frame so there is not much weight there ( i have small wrists and hands ). Wow i sound like a female lol. I really just want to get to 160 lbs but i don't want to have to spend massive amounts of time doing it. I work 10-12 hours a day mon-fri so i there is not much time to do much. I hope this gives everyone a rough idea of what I am dealing with here. Please bring on the advice and help me hit my GOAL!!! PS. ignore the spelling / grammar i was never good at english.
