~~~~This is for beginning weightlifters who want to gain weight~~~~~
December 23rd -154lbs- January 27th- 161lbs

  I gained 6 pounds in a month.  During this month I began eating raw paleo for the first time in my life.  I don't know how much of it is muscle and I don't really care.  I've always been skinny and now I am finally gaining weight after 4 painful years of minimal gains...

This radio interview inspired me to try RAW

At LEAST 8 RAW EGGS A DAY(taste like nothing)
1 POUND RAW BEEF CHUCK(taste great)
WALNUTS
APPLES
BANANAS
RAW MILK
RAW CALF LIVER TWICE A WEEK
RAW OYSTERS
RAW CELERY JUICE/BROCCOLI/CARROTS
COOKED CHICKEN
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL(by the tablespoon)
RAW GROUND BEEF(taste like shit)
SEARED FISH(as much as I can afford)
AVOCADOS

This is all I've eaten in the last month, everything is grass fed, fish is farm raised, on saturdays I eat shit SAD food for social reasons, on sundays I eat cooked food during my job.  During the week its all raw baby! 

Things I've noticed- explosive energy, massive sex drive(I binge drink on the weekends and even when I'm drunk that shit shoots straight up!!!), Never dehydrated anymore, food does not weigh me down, I had barley any facial hair and now there is significantly more haha I didnt wanna admit that but hey fuck it, have to cut finger nails every 2 days, skin looks way better(darker color tone), lots of other little things but mostly I care about my strength gains. 

I am stronger than I have EVER been.  Being stronger means more muscle. I follow a VERY simple workout ONCE A WEEK.  No more than 20 minutes in the gym.  SQUATS/DEADLIFT, BENCH, SHRUGS.... that's it people. 
Stop spending hours in the gym doing curls and bodyweight exercises. LIFT HEAVY, REALLY HEAVY.  It doesn't matter how much you can lift as MUCH AS YOU ARE LIFTING 90-95% OF YOUR MAX.  I believe with my new diet and pushing myself to lift HEAVY WEIGHTS ONLY allowed me to gain 6lbs faster than I have ever done in my life before.  You should get a partner to spot you on certain exercises or you won't be able to truly max out.  and guys once a week is enough... Think if you carried a cow back home for dinner once week and made massive muscle gains because the damn thing weighed 1,000 pounds why would your body not hold onto that muscle until the next week.  Trust me don't go to the gym 3 days a week thats useless.  BE PATIENT WAIT A FULL WEEK FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY.  I promise by the end of the 6th day you'll be so pumped and ready to lift again you will see your strength soar!!!! don't forget to change your program every six weeks.

and jan 27th

I love your enthusiasm 

Exactly the same thing stanley bass states, 72 year old ripped body builder, fitter then most 30 or 40 yr olds lol

He exercises once or twice a week for only 15-20 minutes

& he's ripped to boot

Hiit is ridiculously efficient at building muscle

I would however, recommend you only ingest the following once or twice a week, or get rid of completely as theyre deleterous & create degeneracy cycles, ie prevent muscle growth

WALNUTS APPLES BANANAS

BROCCOLI/CARROTS

AVOCADOS

& the Cooked Chicken, something you should most definitely get rid of

Replace the Eggs, with fertilised eggs, from cockerel run farms


You should also add & replace the above with:

Bone Marrow, suet, & sweetbreads, make sure the sweetbreads include thyroids & raw animal fats taken from around the organs, ask your butcher or farm in advance for them



With the above, You should put on muscle & mass alot faster then you are now


I'm in the process of doing the above

This small experiment got me thinking about the recovery process for building muscle quick.  
The point of this article is to show that after the 5th day of recovery the participants finally Packed on muscle.  I have also read Dr. Dardens High Intensity Training book cost me about 20 bucks at Barnes and Nobles.  This book stresses the importance and explains the science behind recovery.  

Using these guidelines has helped me pack on muscle quick as I mentioned earlier
