| shikamaru317 said: I am 6'3" and about 290 pounds currently. My goal is to lose about 120 pounds of fat, then add on about 20 pounds of muscle. I have lost over 100 pounds before, so I know I can do it, I just stupidly let that weight come back over the last few years by not exercising enough nor eating right. The harder part is going to be putting on the muscle for me. I've tried in the past to put on muscle, but didn't have much luck. Daily workouts targeting different muscle groups with whey protein shakes after each workout, but while I got stronger, I never really got bigger. |
Because you were not eating enough. Just working out and Protien shakes will not do it. Food regiment is the leading factor in building muscle (80/20 splitt with 80 being food being 80). Everybody has something called a maintenance calories, the amount you can eat per week and gain or lose any weight. If you want to build muscle you must eat over maintenance while having your body in a anabolic state(that is what working out is for) with a focus on eating hitting your macros.
I will post something later that will help everybody find their Maintenance/Macros and you can add or subtract depending on goal
