Men's Fitness, April, 2006

YOU'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR YEARS, BUT THE GAINS JUST aren't happening like they used to. Or maybe you're sick of looking like a boy among men every time you hit the gym. Either way, one thing is for sure:

You want to start packing on some serious muscle and kicking up your strength fast! The next few pages break down what it takes to stretch your sleeves and pack on some rock-hard muscle.

The nutritional tips here will have you so pumped for your next workout that you'll be unable to contain yourself and will be chomping at the bit to see what kind of crazy size you can add to your frame.

Eat Your Way to Mind-Blowing Results

Building a muscular machine means fueling your body and making the right nutrition choices, The keys to solid nutrition are getting enough protein; getting enough of the right carbohydrates, and getting enough of the "good" fats.

Protein: Your #1 Weapon for Growth

Protein is essential for repairing and building after every workout. For a high-quality source of protein, try a lean chicken breast on a salad. A lean chicken breast has around 21 grams of protein and is roughly the size of a deck of cards. Ideally, you should be getting at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight every day if you're looking for impressive gains.

Getting the Goods on Carbs

You need good, high-quality carbs. Without them, your energy level will crash, and your training will suffer. Make sure your carbs are low-glycemic ones, such as whole-grain breads, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal.

These will break down overtime, giving you more sustained energy. A 6-foot, 200-pound male should aim for 450 to 500 grams of carbohydrates a day when trying to build muscle. You may not be 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, so make sure to adjust your intake accordingly.

Don't Forget about the Fat

Who thought we'd be pushing you to get more fat in your diet? No, we're not nuts. In fact, nuts are a good source of essential fatty acids, which can help you crank up your metabolism and pack on muscle. Let's use the 200-pound male example. A guy this size needs to ensure he gets between 30 and 50 grams of essential fatty acids. Again, your mileage may vary.

Supplements for Maximum Size

Even if you're using supplements to support your training, chances are you're still shortchanging yourself. You need to give your body a musclebuilding edge with supplements that are backed by science.

Using premium-quality whey protein is essential for your muscles to properly repair themselves after you shred them up in the gym. That's where six star[TM] Advanced Whey Protein comes in. It's loaded with 20 grams of premium-quality protein in every serving to kick up your strength. Plus, it's simple to use, mixes easily with a spoon, and tastes incredible.
