I'm a pretty skinny kid right now, and I wanna get big over summer. I'm about 160 lbs and 5'11. My friend tells me we will work out 5x a week, and drink protein. I will also be breakdancing often (I hear this will make muscle gain harder?) I'm just a beginner, so it will be a lot of cardio. Does this mean the breaking will cancel out the effects of working out? Broad question but how much weight can I expect to put on, giving time to cut up and stuff? Thanks.

to be honest, dont expect much...ive read various things, but maybe .25-.75lbs per week of muscle...if you are willing to get fat you can put on more...and yes lots of cardio will slow your gains, but if you eat enough you will grow...but it takes time to get big (years, not weeks)...

Breakdancing will use up a huge number of calories, so you'd better eat like crazy. You might also be so sore from lifting you don't want to breakdance sometimes, or can't. Keep in mind that you don't need to do sets to failure, or a million sets, or work out five days a week. That's fine if you're on steroids.

If you get too big it might make it hard to do some breakdancing moves. Breakdancing is [censored] hard. You are a beast if you can do alot of those moves.
I would rather be strong enough to breakdance than be big. |

I gained 30 lbs last summer while I was playing a lot of soccer. I didn't gain much fat either, so there's hope for you.

[/ QUOTE ] I ate a lot, I didn't keep track of my caloric intake but it had to have been around 4000 calories. I ate a lot of things like peanut butter, turkey, melted cheese on bagels. I'm sure there are better diets out there, but it worked well for me. |

To be honest, I have no idea what to eat to keep the fat off, but still gain weight. Right now I'm just eating like 4-5x sandwiches a day.
Should I add fruit to snack on, add more meat? My friend says bread and pasta is good for weight gain, but that packs on the non-muscle aka fat weight right? Sorry, I'm totally new to this, and appreciate all your guys' help. |
