How do you gain weight?

[Paradime]

Brehs, I need some critical advice. A search couldn't find me a previous post, and I've done all I could do outside of using protein powder.

Apparently I weigh 110lbs now which is insane because I thought I was at 130 and gaining weight. I haven't been working out for a minute, but I've been eating every single day as much as I've could for a while.

When I started football in HS I weighed 119. I gained 6lbs in two weeks and I was finally able to powerclean 125lbs. The coach told me I had an extremely fast metabolism, my body converts food into energy at a much faster rate than most guys.

Now I'm getting ready for the corps. I've started training my abdominal area and my forearms by doing 100 crunches a day and using grippers. This is so I don't get as shaky when I start lifting or doing pushups.

Yet this is ridiculous. I've been eating peanut butter, grilled chicken, salads, fruits & vegetables, and other home-cooked meals until I couldn't eat any more. I drink water and milk, and use carnation instant breakfast with the milk.

How can I lose this much weight? Also, how I can I get it back? Is it a decrease in muscle mass? I'm trying to push my limit past 130-140lbs. It will take more than a year, maybe even two years, but I need to get at least most of my weight back.

Also I don't have access to a gym. I have a 30lb curling bar I use to lift 7 hrs a day with breaks, every day when I'm getting ready.


Could you guys give me some pointers? I'm not new to this, but I've never delved into the science behind this.

All I have is the 30lb curlbar I could just lift a lot and then keep doing less each set, right?

Nothing is impossible after you have pushed past your limit. Whatever you want just keep going until your body gives and then go some more.
110% breh.

Not sure if trolling.

Bicep curls 7 hours a day?

Anyways, if you're serious about trying to gain weight, you need to count calories breh.Trying to gain or lose weight without counting calories is like trying to reach a destination with no map.

At 110 pounds, I would aim for 2,500 calories a day to gain weight. If you're really active then I would aim a little higher.

if you want to bulk/gain weight eat more carbs like oatmeal, bread, potatoes, rice, etc

Alright thanks breh. Not just bicep curls. Also back/front squats and reverse chin-ups. Also I'm not working that's why I have a lot of time to train.

Train less (and lift heavier) and eat more (especially more carbs) breh
