bovillsans Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/09/08	2004/09/19, 03:52 PM I am just about to start the intermediate 8 week gain muscle mass program. I am going to take protien drinks after a workout. i am 17 years old 5ft9inches and 137lb's. I want to gain muscle and weight and have a nicely toned body but i especially want to gain strentgh and muscle mass on my shoulders chest and back. Will this happen with my chosen program. Also how important is my nutrition?

If you want to bulk up, you not only need to eat but be sure its heathly food. By eating 3000+ calories a day for 3 straight weeks, it was the best gain I ever had. Eating 4 & 5 times a day is a little difficult to get started, but get past the first week and you'll adjust no problem. Good Luck

My suggestion would be to use the nutritional planner here at FT to get the approximate amount of calories needed. Use the "Grocer list for a bodybuilder" post on "Specific Diets..." category to help you choose healthy foods to eat. You need to get clean carbs (nothing white), protein, and fat to make optimal gains.
