Unfortunately I’m a hard gainer and I need to get a mass gainer soonReally? Just eat more. It is the best.
Can always eat more calorically dense food? Essentially what mass gainer is.Unfortunately I’m a hard gainer and I need to get a mass gainer soon
work on strength...this is the way I see it....for instance, try to increase your squat to a 1.5-2x your bodyweight, bench 1.5xbw, overhead strict press 1xbw and weighted pullups with 0.5xbw attached....if you get to those levels of strength you'll look like a Greek god...like, no way you're that strong and are still skinny. Also, I know we all running a lot for the PRT, but don't go crazy with the miles.....I'd say don't run more than 15-20 miles a week if you wanna make sure you keep getting strongerUnfortunately I’m a hard gainer and I need to get a mass gainer soon
Yeah, I'm a hardgainer too and have an easy time with cardio. Just eat as much as you want, good foods only obviously.Unfortunately I’m a hard gainer and I need to get a mass gainer soon

This is going to be a bit of all of my advice that I've gathered over the past 5-6 months since I started getting into shape. Regarding building up to the PRT, I personally lifted 5-6 times weekly for 3 months on a push/pull/legs split and saw good results on my lifts, but those results failed to translate as effectively into any bodyweight exercise as much as I'd hoped. If you are into lifting, I'd still recommend half of your exercises be bodyweight focused. Good ways to do this are PT pyramids, PT supersets, and PT max rep set workouts which you can find more about here Military Workout: Classic PT Week for PT Tests | Military.com (not rickrolling I promise).Will try this ASAP. Thanks for the advice. And just gotta eat a shit ton too which is my issue
One day...Is anyone here at NAS Pensacola?
This was really helpful because I’m struggling with the same thing currently. While I’ve been lifting regularly, I haven’t been doing as much body weight exercises and like you said they failed to translate as effectively into bodyweight exercises. Going to try and cut back on lifting and focus more on body weight exercises.

As far as nutrition goes, the first priority is to eat the right foods. Nutrition is complicated and everyone I meet has varying opinions, but a good rule of thumb is to eat more real foods, stay away from processed food, read nutrition labels, and cut back on junk food and alcohol. Regarding amount and frequency, eat a bit more than usual at each meal, and have a snack roughly every 2 hours. Protein shakes/bars are going to be your friend, some good supplements include creatine, multivitamins, amino acids, and collagen.
Is anyone here at NAS Pensacola?
