Eat Like It's Your Job

I want to get big. Plain and simple. Right now I'm at about 228 and I want to get up to 240. Why? I don't really know why, I just know that I want to be there. I feel like at that weight I will have a more massive physique and I will be stronger. Will I be able to move better? Depends if my power output and relative strength are able to keep up with the mass increase. Will I be healthier? Eh, maybe, maybe not. Depends what I have to do to get to 240 and how well my frame can become acclimated to carrying around a roughly 5% increase in weight.

I don't know much about what life will be like once I get there, but I know that to get there I will have to eat disgusting amounts of food to the point of being regularly uncomfortable. Is it worth it? Right now it seems that way.

If you are trying to put on mass I'm not going to ask what you are doing in the weight room. I want to know what your nutrition is like. I want to know that you are eating like it's your job. For high school kids whose football scholarship aspirations fall on their ability to gain weight, they literally have to treat eating like another workout. That's just the way it is for a hard-gainer. Granted, eating correctly for your metabolic type will certainly help, but I hope you like calories because a ton of them will be heading your way.

So that's my advice. Want to get big? Eat like it's your job.

Get big or die tryin'.
