    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Hi guys, I'm from argentina and I discovered this web yesterday. It's awesome. too much information!!
First of all, I speak spanish so my english is not very good as you can see.

I'm 16 yo, 180cm tall, and weight 73 kg. I always been thin but the last september (2008) I went to the gym to put some muscle. 2 months later I weighed 10 kg more (70 kg) doing Bodybuilding routines since recently. I can't gain more weight and I'm tired about doing a lot of series. I look ripped and a little muscular (very little bodyfat) but I want to gain a lot of weight. I play Rugby (thursday & tuesday [1.30 hours]training and saturday match), Do MMA (Monday, Wednesday, Friday. only an hour). I want to have more power, strength and Size. I WANNA BE BIGGER!!. My objetive is to add 20 kg. I know It's alot but the only limitations are the ones you put into your own mind (I love it).

First of all i will start with GOMAD and i need help with the timing of MILK ¿what time is better to have it and how much to complete the 4 litters?
Look at milk is that time ok?

Monday Wednesday Friday:
6.30 am: (wake up) 1 scoop whey, 1 banana.
7.00 am: 5-6 whole eggs, ¿MILK 1 LT?, yogurt, cereals
7-30 am --> 4.00 or 3.20 in School.
9.00 am: some Bread, milk
11.00 am: Home-Made weight gainer: 100-80 g Oats, 500 ml yogurt, 1 scoop whey and water.
13.10 pm: LUNCH at school. I'm adapted at the school menu but i Try to eat a lot. WHOLE FOOD
16.00 - 15.30: ¿1 LT MILK? - cereals bread and mermelade
17-18 pm MMA
18.10 - PRE WORKOUT meal
18.30 - Fruits
19- WORKOUT 5x5
20.00 : ¿MILK 1 LT?-Whey-Oats
21 - 21.30: Dinner. Red meat or breat, potatoes, more, more, more. ¿1 LT MILK?

In the tuesday and thursday is the same but i play rugby at 19.00 to 21.00 and i don't go to the gym so i can have the milk and eat trough the day, no problem.

Tell me if is a good diet to gain weight. I WANT TO BE BIGGERRR!!!!

that's all guys. thank youuuu
Respects from Argetina!!

You've got the right idea. If you want to get bigger (as all good rugby players should) you just need to eat more. I wouldn't worry too much about the timing of your milk, it's hard to get it all down, just drink it whenever you can.

It's going to be hard to get that much bigger when doing all of the activities you're doing. You're simply burning too many calories right now and not taking enough in. You're young so you've got a high metabolism anyway. Add the rugby and the MMA and weights and it's simply too much. I'd take a semester off of the MMA and concentrate on rugby and weights.

Your English is just fine BTW.

You dont seem to have many proper meals in the day. You should be getting most of your calories & nutrients from good meals not supplements. Gomad is done in addition to a good diet. The food or milk can each provide you with plenty of protein, you dont really need the whey. Concentrate on bulking up your meals a little. Incorporate some vegetables like broccoli into your breakfast to complement all the eggs. At your 9am meal, put heavy serving of peanut butter (unsalted) in that bread. Eat some meat/cheese etc for school lunch. At 16.00 do not eat bread/cereal, eat some heavier food. If you must have carbs eat wholegrains Rice or Quinoa. Same goes for your meals later in the day. Make sure to eat substantial food like meat/fish, with vegetables or legumes for everymeal. Do not count the milk as food, just drink it like water. Meals that are just cereal+milk do not count.

If you are eating a sauce/stew type dish like pasta add large quanities of olive oil, as much as pheasible. Look up recipes for Pilau/Pilaf a curried rice dish made with butter. Its extremely calorie dense both in terms of carbs & fat, you can put a lot of meat into it too.
