Wanting all the mass

mattawesome Posts: 141 Joined: 2005/01/13	2005/02/16, 12:48 AM Back when I was in Highschool I was about 180 lbs. of all muscle in all the right places Now I am 24 years old, 5'9 195 lbs. Been on my own homemade lifting and training program for maybe a month. Eating pretty good. I have also packed on some good muscle. Not having all the money I need for powders and stuff. What natural food can I eat and when, to put on the mass I want? I use mostly freeweights and a lot of cardio.

Do some Fitbuddy searches at the bottom of the page. It has a lot of information to help you out. Good Luck! Josh

jdb1979 Posts: 58 Joined: 2004/03/25	2005/02/16, 09:17 AM During a Cardio session you want to do whatever activity your doing elliptical, treadmill, etc. for around the 20-30 min. range at your target heart rate. Target Heart Rate= Weight - Age X .7 So you want to keep your heart rate at 120 with the info you gave above during your cardio. After reading your original post again though are you looking to Bulk and add weight or get back to your highschool build?

My frame is perfect for body building. So I need really to know what I can do to make this happen. I won't ever compete, but I want to look like I could. I have the willpower to get into good shape. Remeber I use freeweights. What type of lifting do I need? And thanks so much for the help

Lifting wise, You can try a program from here. A schedule that I am partial to based on personal gains is: Day1 Shoulders & Triceps Day2 Back & Biceps Day3 Cardio Day4 Chest Day5 Legs Day6 Cardio Day7 Rest Just an example you can adjust to fit your specific needs. The fitness resources on this website has a list of excersises you can do for each of the body parts listed above. Goodluck!
