***6'0, 132 lbs))) Need advice on training

[The Surgeon]

JMO, here:

I don't like creatine; it gives me a headache and makes me sick to my stomach. Your mileage may vary. It does work -- I get a good pump and more energy -- I just prefer not to take it. Boxing with a headache sucks.

I buy my whey at Costco, some generic brand. It was 2.5 lbs. for $17.95 the last time I bought it. It comes in bags. I bought 2 bags of it so I haven't had to buy it in a few months. I don't think the brand matters as much as the companies want you to believe it does. I stay away from anything that has Aspartame or Sucralose or any artificial **** in it. The extra few calories from regular sugar or maltodextrin (I avoid high fructose corn syrup; I believe it's the single worst thing you can consume short of MSG, transfats, and/or fried pork brains) -- is worth it to me to not put that other crap in my body. BTW, recent science has proven that high fructose corn syrup makes your liver GENERATE fat. That's in addition to ****ing up your metabolism and adding empty calories that you'll store as fat if you don't burn.

I use whey and a multivitamin, and that's it for supplements for me. I would love to find a cheap, unflavored whey protein that I could mix into pancakes, oatmeal, etc.

It duznt give me a headache but u clearly know ur **** my friend, thanks for the tips!

well to add something to this: about 4 months ago I was about 6 feet and 135. Now I'm around 160 (one week I can be 165, the other 155). Basically I just made sure I ate enough, maybe too much, and was diligent with the weights and the heavy bag. However, this all came at the expense of cardio. I might be able to move the bag like I couldn't imagine before, my stamina has decreased accordingly. And while all the heavy bag practise has me my punches better, and I guess "crisper", the weight is slowing me down, I'm just not as quick as I used to be. Now my plan is to hit the cardio pretty well while hopefully staying at around 160. Now if that works, that'll be good, but I may end up basically just where I started from, just a little bigger. That'll be a few months thing, but I'll let you know how it goes. Also, I'm about 19 1/2, and I kind like "grew out" over the last few months as well, so my build has also naturally gotten a little bigger. Around 20 most people start thickening out if they haven't already. So I'd wait for that before you really try to gain weight. Take your time, just work on the boxing for now, thats what you gotta start early, if you need to gain weight, you should be able to later, technique can take years. I've always been a tiny mutha, I guess till now, but I've been at least passivly learning to box since I was 4 (haha, my dad was a boxer), and even in my tiny days I could hold my own. Worry about your skills first, then the weight. If you want, I'll let you know about my progress to see if this whole weight gain thing has worked for me.

Peace,

dude...are you annorexic?...how the hell can't you eat 5 chicken breasts in one day. If you want to gain weight all the working out in the world wont help you unless you eat. You should be eating small meals every 3 hours and be ingesting about 1.5grams of protein per pound you weigh.

#1. Chicken is bland as ****, and I like a variety of meats.
#2. Im on the move, work, school, ect... dont have time to cook all that.

Chicken isnt bland if you use marinades, cook it in pastas and such. Also you dont need to just eat chicken, you can eat all sorts of other foods but your going to have to eat more than 1 meal a day.

Im in school too, i work and still manage to find time to train 5 days a week and eat healthy, making sure your able to eat 6-8 meals a day takes about an extra 10-15 minutes in the morning before you go out its really simple..

def agreed.

I used chicken just as a measuring stick. Personally, I love smoked salmon. Any kind of protein will work.

yeah smoked salmon is amazing. But the big problem is this kid just needs to get an appetite
