| growth with an extremely fast metabolism the title says it all. i have an extremely high metabolism rate. i eat and eat and havn't gained weight (plus/minus a couple pounds) in the past 3 years. i was a swimmer for 2 years in school, i have some definition, but i want to get bigger. Right now i've been out of the pool for about 1 year, but keeping up with some weights- the basics. comments? suggestions? i guess it's ironic that many overweight people wish to be thinner, and many thinner people wish to be bigger. i read somewhere that there are different types of body types (genetically) which allow the process of gaining/losing weight to go much smoother. again... suggestions?     |

| you don't say how old you are.... Up until age 25,you're stil growing.Although you don't get taller,your bones continue to thicken.Metabolic rate starts to slow after 25.If you're over 25 & can't gain,try the beer & banana diet.2 beers(ideally,ones without chemicals)& 1 banana before bed.Work out,of course!If this wouldn't work for you;there are alternatives.... |

| As someone who can attest to having the metabolism of a hummingbird (at one time anyway), keep your workouts short and simple. Full body workouts 2, no more than 3 times a week. Squat or Leg Press (squat's preferable), stiff leg deadlift, incline bench, pulldown or chin, row, shoulder press, bicep curl, and tricep pushdown should be enough. 1-2 sets max, with one warmup set at say 60% of your work weight. __________________ What's wrong with wanting more?

| Again, you don't mention your age. I recommend one of JM Blakely's articles on gaining weight. You've got to eat, and eat, and eat. http://www.nazbar.com/forum/viewtopi...05f565f12b7841 Also, as mentioned before, age is a factor. At eighteen, I don't think I could have put on weight if my life depended on it. At 30, it's now possible, although it takes work. Eating becomes a chore, but it does have results. I've gone from 230 to 246; about 5 of that is fat. But I'm working on it...  |
