Could also be overtraining or at least over-reaching with his training program.
What is your program like? What kind of splits do you do?

Sould I take B-12 to help me eat more. I love to eat Im from Louisiana so eating something we do best..lol but it hard to eat alot all day long n was thinking B-12 may work.

you could try b-12 but i find that EQ does well for some and eating clean healthy calories and no junk its easy to hit 4000 to 6000 calories a day, but you have to work your way up to it so just slowly add a few cals every couple of weeks and see if your body responds, but 20lbs is alot to do in a short time to gain 20lbs on your lbm and to actually hold it might take 2 to 3 years when your are a hardgainer, but every inch makes the difference

if you want to be at 260, eat like you're 260. If you start to gain fat, throw in more cardio.

theres all the advice you need right there!

Agreed! My buddy used to tell me BIG is Half a circle away from PIG...what he meant was eat big to get big, fuck the abs for right now! (within reason) and bulk your ass up bro, then cut it up and see where your at...It takes time to change your set point

I can remember when I couldnt break 200# in body weight in high school, I bought a supplement packet called the PK1 I think from Pinnacle the only thing worth the money in that shitty supplement "regime" was the diet plan laid out...It had me eating constantly and I thought I ate alot already...

needless to say I went from 198 to 230 natural in my first 2 years in college and it was all from diet and a basic push-pull-legs day, 5x5 routine...yeah I lost some abs ( a little) but then I cut it up a little and I was 220 with about the same BF...

Eat!

well my legs r about 24 1/2" my calfs r bout 18"

95% of anyone trying to gain weights problems are in the diet. Add in an equal amount of protein and good carbs for an extra 500-700 calories for two weeks see where you get. Just make sure you are consistent so you can monitor everything. If you don't have a decent eating schedule and know your amounts of food per day I would start with that.

Thats not big for some one nearly 6'5" they should be in the 29"- 30" range..now that would be big.

For Diet.. Make sure you are around 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.. carbs and fats are extras.. eat some veggies too.. Don't overtrain.. 4 days a week is plenty.. get ur rest and sleep.. Lift heavy ass weights.. make sure you are taxing your legs.. 24 inch thighs are small..

 

[mikeyt869]
