Message: [QUOTE="2001yz250, post: 300757, member: 29185"] There is some good advice posted here as far as weight lifting, eating RIGHT(proteins and carbs) and supplements. Nutrition is extremely important when trying to gain mass. I don't think you want the extra weight just to weigh more, if so, then follow the nachos and ice cream diet or why not just strap a 50 lb weight to your back, you'll get the same result, more weight and no more strength! Weight lifting is what you want. Concentrate on the large muscle groups such as the chest, back and legs, but don't leave arms out or you'll look funny. Creatine is an amazing supplement. I went from a 225 bench press to 294 in about 4 weeks! I had to stop taking it though because of the drawbacks which I felt could be dangerous, CRAMPS! I got some serous muscle cramps and I got to thinking, 'My heart's a muscle, what if it cramps?'. Enough to scare me away, plus I was tired of waking up in pain in the middle of the night. If you do decide to try it, drink LOTS of water. Arnold's book would be a good idea because if anybody knows about bulking up, its Arnold. Remember muscle weighs more than fat! Not really sure why you would want to gain weight anyway, only slows you down when it comes to riding. The pros and their sponsors spend thousands of $$ in trick titanium parts to shave an ounce here and there and you want to gain weight? [/QUOTE]
