56 to 93 kgs naturally!!! Guys, after reading through most of the posts in this thread,I see many are opting for supplements to either gain weight or lose it..To be honest, even though there are so many products that claim 'No side effects', you definitely will be impacted at some point of time in your life, nothing can beat natural diet and gain/lose weight naturally.
Well, let me introduce myself - I'm a techie that used to be very lean since birth, I am tall too and stand at 6'3", when I completed my higher secondary, I weighed exactly 56kgs and with the height I was in,I was easily the odd man out for all the wrong reasons.So,though I thought I might never get into right proportions as I was too thin, I decided joining gym might help my cause.
Finally I joined the gym on Mar 2002,I was 17 then and weighed exactly 56kgs.Before I registered myself with the gym, I told myself that no matter what I should visit the gym for next 3yrs at least, and no matter what I should never take up supplements.For the first 6months,I was struggling to lift weights,and even push ups seemed nightmarish.I didn't give up and expected nothing,I was regular to the gym, took a balanced diet,never made myself feel hungry.Days passed, one fine day when I looked at myself on the mirror, I felt a litle change in my appearance, I could see a little improvement, I was very happy to see the change though the change was very little, I took the motivation, by now I was able to do workouts as how it was meant to be done, I started to increase my weights gradually, there was never a period where I rushed up with weights, nowadays I see a lot of people who visit the gym start lifting heavy weights right away.As months passed by, the improvement got better and better, I made sure that I had the best of mixed diet,my wight crossed 60 and at the end of 2003 I was nearing 70. My friends and family were astonished looking at the improvementss I made on the past 1yr.
I had the patience and perseverance, so as years passed by my weight increased gradually, now I weigh 93kgs with a strong build and a fully sculpted body, let me tell you again that I never took any form of supplements,even a pinch.The inference I want to make from my story is-
1. Patience and perseverance is the key for success in gym.
2. Never rush up with weights,move gradually.
3. There is nothing called a perfect workout, a particular workout(eg.dumbell press) might work out for someone but it need not give the same result on you(eg.your body might respond to workouts with rods).The key is learnng while doing workout, you should be able to realize whether you are getting any result from the workout you are doing,you can gauge this over a period.
4. Each body type is different , so you have to understand your body first, based on that you have to decide what you want, keep your expectations realistic for the time being
5. Identify the workouts which gives resulst for you, don't try to emulate others workout plans,you will endup nowhere.
6.Look for supplements only as a last resort.
Basically the thing is you need to apply your rationale in gym too.Having a nice physique can do wonders to your social status.The attention and respect that I receive now makes me feel that the pain I went through is worth it.
If you are looking for body building naturally, you can ask me for any suggestions.I'm more than happy to help you all,right now I train few of my friends and don't mind helpng fellow t-bhiaps as well.
Ultimately, appearance counts bigtime, at least for the majority.
Have a Nice Day!!! |
