I want a weight gainner but I don’t want to put weight on?

How can I do this, I’m a model and I have London fashion week In september and my agency wants me to get a sic pack, I nearlly have one but it’s hard to get rid off that little bit of weight at the bottom, could you help me?

My agency just told me too eat healthy, go gym and does loads of cardio.

If you don’t want to gain weight, why would you use a “weight gainer”? A weight gainer supplement isn’t going to help you get a six pack…

Alex I think you are very confused about your goals… You post comments which completely contradict each other. 

I recommend you figure out your goals first so we can better assist you. 

Why would you take a weight gainer is you don’t want to gain weight??

Seriously!! That makes no sense

 

getting a six pack is 70-80% diet, and honestly taking a weight gainer is the last thing you want to do buddy. you are going to want to do high intensity exercise routines like High Intensity Interval Training and Complexes since those will help to burn more fat, but you really really really need to watch what’s going in your mouth and make sure that it’s clean.

I’m only 16.

Well I way 12 stone and I want a natural lean body.

What else do you want me to tell you?

alex we know you’re young and we’re trying to help. we’re just trying to tell you that the questions you ask are a lot more simple than the answers. nutrition and fitness are usually really complicated and it’s almost never as easy as just adding one supplement to your routine. if it was that easy everyone would just add that one thing and get their six pack.

we can give you way better and way more specific advice than your agency did, and i’m sure that’s why you’re here in the first place. have you browsed through the articles on the site? there’s a ton of information for various workouts and about things like HIIT that you should read…

 

I’ll read them.

Is there a product what helps turn fat into muscle.

I heard about cla (tonalin) but that product has gelatine in it and I was wondering if there is any products like this what is suitable for vegetarians? All I want to do is loose this little weight and its so hard to loose :(

What do you think about that product sounds good?

Thanks for your help anyway 

the problem is that fat can’t actually be turned directly into muscle. you can build muscle and burn fat at the same time, and having more lean body mass/muscle will help to burn more fat, but there isn’t any supplement that will do that, or any natural compound for that matter.

this is exactly why llulko asks you to explain more about what your current diet and workout regimen are. you are right that those last bits of fat and muscle are the hardest to obtain, but unless we know what you are doing already it’s hard to give you advice. it could be as simple as sticking with what you’re doing if it’s working, just giving it a little bit more time, or even something such as adding in one more cardio workout. if you could post a rough workout schedule and diet we can tell you more, but until we know that there’s not much we can tell you and it’s not apparent if there are any supplements that will put you over the top. give us that info and i’m sure we can find some sollutions for you.

 




I took some ECA I don’t feel right. I’m worried from what i have heard about these only took one, is that bad should I continue?? I’m worried….Only from the stories. I also took them about 1-2pmish its now  9:30pm  and i want to go drinking tonight not heavily just a few shots, what do you think???

I don’t know what ECA’s are, but a general rule of thumb with supplements is that if you don’t feel good after taking them then don’t go anywhere near it…

that is me I currently weigh 12 stone ( 160 pounds )
From these pictures you kind of see the abs coming through, well I want them more visible and around my shoulders I want them more toned up. I don’t have much of a diet I just try and eat as much protein in a day mostly about 168 grams and I eat clean foods. I train 4 times a week. I want to know how many reps and sets to do, a diet plan what weight I should be and when my goal should be done by. I don’t want to look too big because I’m a model. Hope this helps and thank you for your help.

 

Alex,

Obviously you need some direction.  Here is what I would recomend.  This is a weight training routine that is designed to put on muscle, muscle all over the body and not in any one particular part.  This is what you want, and what you need, even though you dont know it. 

Here is the program

Monday

Squat 3 sets of 5
Bench press, 3 sets of 5
Barbell Row, 3 sets of 10

Wednesday

Front squat, 3 sets of 3
Military press, 3 sets of 5
Chinups, 3 sets to failure

Friday

Squat, 3 sets of 5
Bench press, 3 sets of 5
Deadlift, 1 set of 5

Now, all sets listed are work sets, and all sets for a particular exercise are of the same weight.  Warmups are not listed.  Let me give you an example.

Say your bench press is 200lbs for 5 reps max.  you might do the bar for 10, 95lbs for 5, 135lbs for 5, 155lbs for 2, then 170lbs for 1….  then, 190lbs for 3 sets of 5.

On each exercise, start your work sets at a point about 10% below what you probably could do if you really pushed it.  Then, add 5lbs to your work sets every time you do a certain exercise.  Obviously for chinups, just increase the reps.  When all 3 sets are above 10 reps, start to hang extra weight around your waist.

Now to Cardio.  Sprinting is your friend.  2-3 times per week you need to go somewhere that you can sprint, and do, well, sprints.  Somewhere between 40 and 100 yards, you decide.  somewhere between 5 and 10 to start, you decide.  Sprint, then slowly walk back, catch your breath, then do it again.  Gradually build up how many you do.

Now diet.  I am betting that you know about how many calories you are eating.  I might be wrong.  But, decide right now that you are going to get a notepad, and write down 10 vegatables that you can eat, and the ways you can cook them, or hall eat them raw. write it down.  Now sit and look at the list, and realize that this is going to be the backbone of your diet.  Dont be afraid to include things that are cooked in butter or olive oil.

Each meal should be defined by the veggie dish, beccause this, for most people, is the hardest.  Now add some lean meat to this, and you have a meal.  Have a little variety here, different meats, different ways of cooking, etc.  Dont be afraid of a good ribeye. 

Almost no one doesnt cheat on a diet plan, but at your age, it doesnt matter.  If you can make 9 out of 10 meals based around meat and veggies, your doing fine.

I would suggest going to some of the recipe and cooking sites online, and getting ideas.  I know this has helped me a lot in finding healthy ways to cook and not get bored.

And last, yeah, eat some fruit.  I have always favored fruit for snacks, but thats just me.

PS…  dont be afraid of carbs.  They are not yoeur enemy.  But if you want to lean out, meals should not be based around them.

Of course, all this is only my opinion, but still, although it is only my opinion, if you are able to follow it, you will gain muscle, get the look around the shoulders you want, and lost fat.  You are lucky, at your age, accomplishing both these things at the same time is still possible.
