The world is changing, and to stay on pace with the
constantly changing status quo, there has been an entire industry raised from
near non-existence into a multi-billion dollar profit system: Weight
Control. Thermogenics will raise your body temperature to help you
sweat, combining caffeine with cayenne pepper to keep you awake and burning
calories, but, the problem that I have suffered through for most of my life isn't burning the calories, but keeping them inside of my body, creating fat cells,
and keeping that bad reputation fat from leaving. I am tall, 6’9” to be exact, and my body has
a build that can sustain 300 lbs. but the metabolism of a race horse keeps me at
a much lower threshold. As a tall man in
a 5’10 average size man world, the problem isn't losing weight, but rather keeping
the weight ON!
Do you play basketball? Absolutely. Could I be a valuable source of intimidation
through sheer size and breadth on a court, volleyball pit, softball field, or
goalie post, yes I could, but, only if my body had the width to go with the
height could all of those presumptions come forward.
Over the 40 years of life, I have seen, and tried many things
to put this weight on, while in a world where everyone else seems to want to
strip it from their bodies. Protein has
evolved as well as other products not governed by the FDA as nutritional
supplements. Below is a list of
products that have worked for me in putting weight on, and the timeline that I
used them:
Protein – Whey protein is what my father would put in a
morning milkshake, the kind that busy parents make for their kids before
sending them off to school. The
combination of two scoops of whey protein, a banana, strawberries, and milk,
does the same thing as cereal, but with the addition of the whey protein, sent
me into the metabolic world of super available energy.

Nitric Oxides – I have found, for my body, that taking these
kind of supplements before working out helps with the vaso-dilation of my
veins, meaning my veins expand allowing for a rapid absorption of supplements,
while also decreasing muscle strain during times of heavy weight lifting. As evolution of body composition continues
throughout the aging process, I used this supplement a lot more during my
younger years, 18-30, because mass was my goal, putting it on, and keeping it
on. From age 31-Present, I use Nitric
Oxide (N.O.) less because my metabolism has slowed down, and mass is second to
lean muscle building.

Creatine – The most widely known and advertised creatine is
by far mono-hydrate, which when used properly and instructions followed, will
fill your muscles with muscle building nutrients. The problem I found with Creatine Mono-hydrate is that it also filled my muscles with a large amount of water weight, which
looking from the outside in, makes your muscles look bigger and fuller, but,
only if you can maintain a constant flow of water drinking, and a workout
routine that provides enough muscle shock to keep your muscles from getting
into the sustainment phase, which is a bad thing when you are trying to gain
mass muscle density. The Creatine that I
use today, Creatine HCI, has a better effect for my body and workout
routine. The HCI allows me to build Lean
Muscle without the water weight, and it comes in capsule form, also allowing me
to control the amount that is taken, thereby adjusting the dosage to fit my
body, and keep waste down.
