I've been a skinny guy all my life. I couldn't seem to gain weight even if I tried. Then in 2005 I came across the Gaining Mass program by Anthony Ellis. I followed the advice in the book and tracked my progress religiously. With my new diet and weight training routine I managed to gain 20 pounds of muscle in the first 10 months.
Then in 2011 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. In retrospect, I probably had this disease for at least 3 years and this had caused me to lose practically everything I had gained. But now that the disease is being treated and I'm able to put on weight, my fitness goals are renewed once again.

Foods for gaining muscle for a new gym guy @mushfiq - Now that I have Crohn's Disease in addition to my fast metabolism, gaining weight is harder than ever. But I still stand by the 6 meal a day routine for a person who has trouble gaining weight. I fell out of the habit of doing that around the time I was diagnosed with Crohn's. But I recently started up again. The thing I realized is that by doing this you'll eventually develop a habit of eating before you're hungry. As a result, by the end of the day you'll have eaten more calories than you ever would have with just 3 meals a day. |

What can I do to tone up my bottom? @Aaron - Very true. Or a weight vest also works and is very stylish... amazon.com/dp/B0032HSCKI/… |

Why is it beneficial for powerlifters and heavy weight olympic lifters to not have low body fat? Plus, it's very difficult to lose fat while building muscle. In fact, in many cases when bodybuilders go on a "cutting phase" they'll actually lose muscle. So the idea of a cutting phase would probably just be counterproductive for a powerlifter. |

Is eating rice everyday healthy? I can't give a detailed answer, but I will say that brown rice is healthier than white rice due to its fiber content. Many brown rices are bland though, and I'd recommend brown basmati for its flavor. |

What's the point of the weekly 2-day break in Starting Strength's programming? Can a novice just skip that? Plus, Steve Reeves found that the optimal training frequency for him was just 3 days a week. Other natural bodybuilders did the same back in the day before steroids. As strange as it seems, even for a novice you can easily hurt your progress by training more often than this. |
