I spent way too much time in working at my computer last winter. I would work 12-16 hour days eating 1-2 meals. At 22 yrs old, I dropped down to the same weight I was when I was 15 (150). That's when I got my ass into gear and tried the Geek to Freak program laid out in The Four Hour Body.
Tim F says he was able to gain 34 lbs of lean muscle in 4 weeks working out ~4 hrs total. I did due diligence on the method and was actually able to go from 150 to 170+ within 4 weeks.
A couple things I learned:
• Most people put way too much emphasis on gym time and too little on nutrition. I would say nutrition is 80% of the work. Recovery time is extremely important for rapid growth too.
• When trying to cram as many calories in a day as possible, a meal plan is a must. The more strict the better.
• You can get better results curling a 10 lb dumbbell with proper technique than curling a 100 lb dumbbell with poor form.
• For muscle growth, I prefer only 1 set of high weight with low reps (6 reps min, 12 reps max)
• LOMAD (one liter of milk a day) is a lot easier than it sounds.
I commend you for being part of the solution, but I have to say- for myself, the ability to check the cause of the check engine light would be worth it. If your car is fairly new, you may experience the check engine light very rarely. But for cars over 5 years old, I think that's the best feature. As opposed to taking it into a mechanic where you are completely ignorant of what the cause was.
