White rice if you have a hard time gaining weight is the best...

3 of those shakes a day? I've only been using the malto/dex mix post workout to create an insulin spike. What are the three times throughout the day that you would suggest putting in the m/d mix?

1st thing in the morning, post workout, and a couple hours before you go to bed. You can spike your insulin more than once a day.

most weight gainer shakes all just have a ton of sugars, or dextrose in them so it is basicly making a home made weight gainer shake and you will save money.

Bottom line is you need a lot of calories, and rice, olive oil, and dex, malto are really cheap ways to get in the calories.

**antihero** · 11-19-2005, 08:39 PM

ok, will do....

Good advice. With his metabolism, the more calories the better.

Hey, AH.
Your stats are very similar to mine.
How are you finding this routine? It seems very similar to a simplified DC routine.
I like the idea of one super heavy set, followed by a 20 repper.

Good luck, bro.

PS: Why don't you do a 20 repper for shoulders?

**antihero** · 11-21-2005, 11:47 PM

November 21st - Quad/Hams/Calves

Calve raises
-540 x 4 [muscle cramp on 4th rep]
-270 x 20 [still had a bad muscle cramp, but pushed through it]

Lying Hamstring Curls
-110 x 6 [increase time]
-80 x 11

Squats
-150 x 2 [failure on rep 3] [PR]
-90 x 8 [i was spent]

OVERALL GRADE = B
--------------------------------
only hit one PR, but i wasnt expecting it, so i guess its better than nothing. the muscle cramp in my calve ****ed my workout, and thats why i didnt beat the logbook, but ill be giving it one last chance before switching it out.
--------------------------------

the routine as a whole seems to be working, but ive only been at it for 2 weeks, ill be able to tell a little bit better later on.

i dont do a 20 repper for shoulders, because they seem to be the bodypart that grows just from waving my arm.

brickt. · 11-22-2005, 01:19 AM

Definantly keep us updated, I'm quite interested.
GL with the weigh in tomorrow, what is your current diet like? Cals etc.

Oh, and I hate you for shoulders that grow just by brushing your teeth.
