I went from 98lbs-125lbs by eating a crap load, going in the health club for 2 hours every day (7 days a week) for about 2 months.
Basically my routine was 3x10 on every machine then leave. I didn’t do any free-weights.
Then I stopped gaining, and bought into Anthony Ellis’ training/diet program.
Heres a link to the ad that sucked me in: http://www.musclegaintips.com/
I gained about 10lbs (6-7lbs muscle) in about 2 and a half months on that.
It was basically a 3-day split (chest,shoulders,triceps - Legs - Back,Biceps) and the diet was 6 meals a day which consisted of eggs, chicken, rice, spinach, 2 myoplex’s and Udo’choice oil w/ a protein shake before bed.
About 2 weeks into his program I was really hooked on training, and I read bodybuilding.com, his site and other sites constantly.
I perhaps read a bit too much, and came off his program, it was ok but it could of been better. Since then I have been changing around shit a lot trying to find a good program to stick to.
I’ve only gained about 5lbs in the past 2 and a half months doing my own thing, I’m sure that is due to the fact I’m in-consistant.
Right now my goal is to get myself a good 4-5 day a week program, and a solid diet plan so I can eat a lot of clean food, and be organized about it, then I will start it in the new year.
(Which is why I’m asking a lot of questions on T-Nation currently)
Just listen now, champ. Kane is right, there is a difference between a program optimised for performance and simply training for the enjoyment of training. If you want to learn how to increase performance, then listen to the advice given. There is no point trying to defend yourself. Shugart wrote an interesting article on this. And if you want to just train for fun, then what do you care what these people say? Just go and pump.

I know kane is right, I will listen to his advice. I just responded to say that I’m not a complete beginner and have had some training experience.
As for training for fun, it is indeed a hobby of mine, but it isn’t so fun when I don’t see results.
Of course I want to follow a program that focuses on performance, but i’d like to find a solid one that goes more than 3 days a week.
ws4sb has a 4th training day but that is ‘strongman’ training using tires etc. that I don’t have access too.
