What's the most calories you've ate for a prolonged period of time

[Donny]

A lot.  I'm naturally lean.  Just a shade under 6'2".

Was lifting very hard and heavy doing a fullbody routine.

It was very hard for me to gain weight.

This was with no drugs.  Around age 20.

I got up to 240 around age 25.

Now I'm right around 200 as an old codger.

what was the change in your diet

[YngiweRhoads]

When I had no cash early 90s my weight gainer of choice was the following:

2 cups milk
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup oats
Peanut butter

Was pretty awful and filled up the blender, but I did that twice a day pretty regularly.

Tried that when I was broke in the 90s too. Not longer after ingesting that concoction I was toilet bound and I generally have no issues with dairy. Lactose overload.

Oh totally.

That's a good recipe.

The only thing missing is the 1/2 cup of canola oil, ice cream, and eggs. 

Years ago my son needed to gain weight for high school wrestling to get to 98 as a freshman.

He only weighed about 80 in 8th grade.  He was little.

I made him shakes including canola oil and got him up to 92 so he could wrestle.

He was a really good wrestler.

Sorry Donny, we crossed posts...see my previous post above.

Good adds, but the thought of canola oil in there turns my stomach....eggs and ice cream would have been nice.

I agree.  I wouldn't use it now but then it wasn't considered bad.

With all the other ingredients you didn't taste it.

Currently, for a meal I sometimes mix 4 raw eggs, halfnhalf, cocoa powder and sometimes pure peanut butter and blend it.

I eat low carb.

Oh yeah, at the time, Canola was the "healthy" oil.

but at 240 what was your body fat?
just curious as you seem to like the old school bulk up protocol which of course put on weight & size but a lot was fat

[38 returns]

I recall Nathan de asha and roelly winklar trying to do 20k in a day

It's on YouTube will put it up later
Worth a watch!

[IroNat]

No, I wasn't fat.

I am/was very muscular and have a big frame.

It was very hard for me to put on weight.

Wore a suit everyday on my job and they needed extensive alterations.  Cost a lot at the time.

I bought high quality suits and my tailor would take them apart and recut them.

This was 40+ years ago and it would cost me $80 for the alterations which was alot to me then.

I could go back to 220 easy if I went back to eating carbs normally.

Hankins weighs more than me and he's 3 inches shorter.

How tall are you and what was the biggest and leanest you got?

[IroNat]

How tall are you and what was the biggest and leanest you got?

I'm a shade under 6'2 and got to 240.

Dieted down to 195 for a short time about 30 years ago when I got into the low fat diet eating sprouts and sawdust.

Graduated high school at around 135 at 5'11".  Gained 50 lbs to 185 in the next 6 months growth spurt plus lifting.  185 was a sticking point.  Then 210 was a sticking point.

This is all up to age 25.  Then I grew up and got to work.

Have continued to workout along the way with some minor gaps.

Did you play sports in high school?

[IroNat]

Did you play sports in high school?

Wrestling.

My son was really small and only grew late.  He is still light but got to 5'11" height.

We thought he might never grow.

He was gifted athletically.  Came out of the womb very well proportioned but was little.

[IroNat]

I have trained all methods including 6 day splits but have always liked fullbody best.

Right now I'm on a split of sorts.

[dj181]

Wrestling.

112 as freshman so I was not big.

My son was really small and only grew late.  He is still light but got to 5'11" height.

That's cool

I was 5'11 at 14 and one of my friends was the same but he grew to 6'3 at 16

That's like the perfect height

Tall but not too tall

Although that height is in the top 2.5% of all men

The perfect height for strength is about 5'9".

The perfect height for strength is about 5'9".

For BB is like 5'7 to 5'9

I've seen only like a handful of guys who were 6'3-6'4 with broad shoulders and narrow hips/waist

They are impressive as fuck

Most guys that tall aren't so broad but when they are.... LOOK OUT

Andy Tate would say he's the Alpha but he's a narrow slope shoulder dork

Crap physique on him

Look up Clint Walker

Does going to the Pizza Hut lunch buffet after every training session 3 to 5 days a week count? 

In the 90s I had a training partner who lifted big and ate heavy. I went along with it for a while - this is back when all you can eat was around $6. The Pizza Hut was across from the gym. I was certainly big and strong but it was ridiculous.
