At this stage of my life, I'm beyond trying to gain mass. But I've found that I still, if I want to attain a certain strength goal, I have "to eat my way through the sticking points."
Oh the humanity.
All the best,
Arden

Yeah, Pat, while I gained that 20lbs (including ~8lbs fat) between August and November/December I ate as much as I could handle at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was comical to see me put 7-10 plates and 7-10 bowls to get washed in the cafeteria, on top of the nuts I ate throughout the day. I realized that that first 12lbs of muscle was much needed because of the ease I gained it. Normally I eat 5000 to maintain.
And I refuse to accept that until my doctor shows me that. If I were genetically gifted I would be stronger now, and I would've been a much faster sprinter in high school. I'm also a TEENAGER as well so that is definitely going to be a huge factor in this.
hell you and I are the same height but even in HS when I was very active I was never able to pack down that many calories. I think i'll ask the doc for a bigger stomach next time.
