Weight Gaining?

[bakkily]

Do two teaspoons, someone told me to do this in the mourning, put 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil in a 1 scoop protein drink in the mourning when you wake up. That does help alot too. Do not try a peanut-based oil, did that with 1 tps, was sick to heck.

No, not a teaspoon...One Tablespoon. That's what you probably meant.
1 tablespoon=120 calories. I always use at least 2 tablespoons in every protein shake as long as it's before 5 pm. Sometimes I get up to three, but I wouldn't advise it unless you're used to 1-2. Using too much too fast puts your ass on the toilet.

BTW, if anyone types, "EEwww, that doesn't taste good" or something to that effect, then you shouldn't be lifting. It takes extreme measures to get/stay big and strong. I'll eat the rice out of a dead ----'s ass if it gets me big.

311, u are pushing 250. Why do u want to gain more? Are u planning to compete??

I work out around 10pm. I take 1 shake before then 2 after I lift. Should I still put the 2 tablespoons of oil in or 1 tbs? And instead of mixing it with the shakes can I mix it with my tuna?

Hell No! The olive oil is meant for extra calories throughout the day as well as a very good amount of monosaturated fats. Never add olive oil past 5 or 6pm. It'll go straight to your gut.

Apoc: My wife would never let me compete. My weight right now stands hovering at 245+ and I'm dropping bodyfat pretty quick. I don't bulk or cut. Instead, I jog/brisk walk as soon as I wake up for 45 minutes, and I never eat any carbs besides veggies past 5pm. That's all it takes for me. ;)

ok quick question can he add it to his tuna if its before 5/6. and why those perticular times i know it has to do with when u go to sleep but how many hours before u go to bed should you not be consuming fats or carbs

1-Yes, adding it to any food would be beneficial. I usually smother my egg whites in it.
2-Think about it. After mastication, the digestive process takes up to three hours to fully digest food. 5pm turns into 8 pm. I could see him ingesting it a few hours before he hits the weights at 10pm, but you have to remember that your metabolism starts slowing down at night. It'll be twice as hard to burn the calories and even after an intense workout, some of it will turn to fat.

Of course I don't think it's anything to worry about. It's only a few tablespoons. But, as a rule of thumb, I never take in any carbs/fats past 5 pm. From then on it's veggies(carbs), and lean meat (chicken breasts).

ok i have the idea now...i only have one thing to say....hitting the weights at 10 pm i dont know how you would do it, thats gotta suck how do you get your energy back up for workouts at that time
