Gaining mass


Question Posted Wednesday June 6 2007, 1:43 am

I can squat around 350, bench 200, and clean 130ish. I'm 5 6, 130 pounds, 16 years old, and around 10-14% body fat. I have 13 inch arms and tiny legs. I was wondering if it's normal to be that strong for my size and if you have any tips for gaining mass.

I eat about 3k calories a day, milk and cereal for breakfast, small sandwhich for lunch, and whatever I can get my hands on during dinner(which happens to be a lot). I used to drink muscle milk and why protein but they don't really work for me beacuse they make my bowels feel funny. Got any tips for gaining mass?

Oh yeah, and any tips for getting rid of the layer of fat on my stomach?

A true clean squat of 350 for someone who weighs 130 with tiny legs and 13 inch arms sounds a little suspect but good for you anyway. I find it hard to believe you're getting 3k calories in from a bowl of cereal, a sandwich and some other 2300 calorie meal at dinner. I think you're kind of over estimating ;-)

When you want to gain size and strength you have to eat a lot (not cereal and sandwiches- real wholesome food) and train heavy on the big compound lifts- the chins, squats, deadlifts, military press, barbell row, etc.

There's no special tricks or gimmicks or Muscle Milk miracles- just heavy training, good eating hard work and discipline.

P.S

If you're trying to gain mass; you can't also be trying to reduce fat at the same time...unfortunately we aren't hybrids and it's one or the other.
