Hey guys,
My workout partner is one of those guys who has a really hard time putting on weight. He's naturally lean at around 6% BF, and his eating isn't the problem. The guy puts away more food than me by a good amount.
I've tried everything I can think of. I put him on a "all fast food diet" which worked OK for the first week but he started feeling like crap the next week and that caused his eating to slack. I also had him eat a chocolate bar and a protein shake every night before bed for a month. Made little or no difference.
We started him out at 6' 3", 154lbs, 7% BF. 2 years and 2 cycles later he's at 175lbs, 6% BF. He's totally cut, veiny as hell, but just doesn't have the mass. And we've hit a brick wall. I can't seem to get him past 175 no matter what we try.
Any ideas? Is he just screwed genetically? Again, diet is not the problem. I really think I need to get his BF up a bit before his body will put on any more muscle. Anyone know of a "get fat quick" scheme that works?
