I have given myself 5 months to put on 10kg. But its going to be, i hope, mainly muscle.
Now I dont know if 5 months seems like too long to put this weight on or not, however im quite an active individual.
I train about 9 hours a week (swimming) and I have hardly ever been to the gym or done any sort of weights.
I am really pleased with how my body looks considering i've not been using weights (not by choice, there just isnt a very good gym around/dont have any weights at home). I have defined traps, flat stomach, pecs etc. And I have that V thing at the bottom of my stomach which everyone seems to want.
However I still consider myself skinny and i'd like to be a bit bigger. IE the picture L!MP posted is really the maximum i'd want to go.
Im actually quite serious about this and im going to take some before and after pictures and probably blog it for anyone thats interested. I also completed my Sports Science degree a few months ago so I sort of know what im talking about!

Just have to start working out, put on alot of weight because I was bedridden for a few weeks, just had Leg surgery on my knee. Was a genetic defect of all things that caused it. Anyway hopefully I'll get there. Gogo support group ^^;

Quick question: The past two days I have been consistent with sticking to the cardio, however, my legs have become increasingly sore. Is it good to keep up the cardio daily despite this, or should I be taking a day off when it starts feeling sore? I'm thinking it'd be best now to concentrate on my mid-upper body strength rather than put more pressure on my legs from the cardio workouts - but I know cardio is an essential factor.

I'd recommend you rest. If your legs are sore it means you worked them hard.. so now just take a day off leg work and let them recover. If you really want to keep doing cardio, then you could swim instead of run for today!

Soo, I guess we don't have to write our daily working routine, I just want to say that I feel really old, damnit.
I took it easy, 15 min jumprope warmup, then some 5ish handstand pushup sets, equal pullups, some proper deadlifts with a superlight barbell, just to get the form into muscle memory and some quick squats (around) 50, all in all cca 35mins, ended with 10minutes stretching, feeling pretty good.
Now my left shoulder and neck scream when I lift the left hand above shoulder level, the wrists hurt a bit (understandable, will stay off handstand pushups for a couple of days), one of my knees protests too (inexplicable really, I'm positive the squats were done in proper form, no less than 80degree for initial safety).
What the hell!
Get your stuff together body, I'm eating as much as I can and I expect you to be ready for tomorrow!

I did some cardio yesterday and tried to eat well. I did pretty well except for dinner =/

I'm doing fine today, and I'm gonna try to work out for about 2 hours after I finish playing civ4 for a few hours.

lol thats the spirit! I'm gonna hit the gym...after i get off tl.net!

It's weird when i'm mad or depressed I find it really hard to eat. No matter how hungry my stomach feels everything I try to eat i just want to puke. It sucks im trying to gain weight and i end up losing because of this. Then after my depression is over I can eat normally and gain it back. ;/

My eating and drinking is terrible. Whoever posted that hard alcohol has so many colories in it is deh devil. Why tell me that I drink 400 calories of vodka every day? Good thing 5 miles of jogging per day just barely beats out my drinking...

I have never had any problems with getting fat... I can eat whatever and nothing ever happens... on the other hand, I have a really hard time building muscle... This time I'm putting the maximum amount of effort into it... I've tried before but now it's time to do it for real. That means eating 6 times a day, 3k-4k cal. a day etc! Wish me luck and gl to everyone else in here! ;>

Used to train basically all the time, soccer 8 years, Taekwondo 6 years a.s.o. Now I play ultimate frisbee, discgolf and floorball just casually.

My biggest culprits are everything sweet, pepsi max and coffee. In addition I tend to train (hard) at weird times, like Tuesday evening ultimate frisbee followed by Wednesday morning floorball at work. I know I should do low impact training every day in stead, but I find it hard to do over a longer time period.

The goal date is just for a wager, I really just want to get back in shape.
