Rowing and Training

Good day to all
Ive been of the forums for a while but cannot stay off and is back under a new username.
Height is 1,80
Weight 78 Kg`s
Ive been weight training for 2 years now and need some advice from anyone on how to put on weight as i eat like a horse but seem not to get the muscle weight to increase. I stay to a good balanced diet with lots of Protiens and Carbs. I use Muscle fuel and Whey from USN in the mornings when i wake up and after training at gym.
Iam on a varsity 8 man rowing team and need to get help please. Ive been thinking bout taking roids as two of the members on the team is on but would not take the advice from anyone of them.
All help appreciated
Thanks

You will receive good advice here, but the first suggestion is give the USN to your garden boy. IT DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. Useless Shit Nutrition.

I agree with North Boy, the first step is to get rid of the USN crap.
Then how old are you ?

How many calories a day is "eating like a horse" Please give a close enough estimate.

Also how often do you have to row a week and what other excercise do you do? (Often rowers do to much exercise, overtrain, and compromise muscle growth)

I agree with Inja, had a friend who was rowing and you guys sometimes seem to overtrain. Also you start carbo-loading a week before an event, exhaust your muscles to fatique and then wonder why you dont grow?

Give us more of you're eating & training specs. My bet is that you dont eat enough portions during the day, especially after training.

And rather buy some good extra food than spending it on Utterly sh*t nutrition

im 19.
i row about 2-3 times a week and gym 5 days of the week. i work a different muscle group each day.
i eat oats every morning and a normal supper, and during the day i eat potatoes or pastas and slices of bread

Are you a vegetarian that you don't take in any whole protein. Dude, no wonder you're not growing!

You way too young to juice - so that's not an option.

Your diet needs some serious work.
How many meals do you eat a day ?
What protein do you eat ?

im no vegeterian i eat my meats at supper time and some days of the week. i also eat tuna with the pasta i eat. its hard for me to say how many meals i eat a day because im at varsity so i eat portions when i can between lectures and during free periods

FAIL... if u are doing so much working out u need a shite load of protein.protein should be consumed with every meal.if u want a proper diet drop me a mail on EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED i do charge though... it will work and u will be eating alot more protein than just 2 meals a day

ok thanx dj i'll email you soon

TGW used to be rower at varsity myself, struggled with gaining. i think if you follow the advice thats given to you here , you won't go wrong. im sure you know by now that you get tested anytime so if you wanna go far with your rowing...stay away from roids for now, you're still young and a bit of hard work with the correct info will pay off big time champ

ya thanx jay... we been training sick lately so iv gotten cut which is great. i also find that sometimes i put on a bit of weight gyming and rowing whereas before when i was just gyming i wasnt putting on as much

thats great champ so i guess you are training for boatrace, if you are good luck. im gonna be cheering on the banks or maybe i might decide to row:silly: which means chances of you loosing increase...lolB) :laugh:

hahaha. ya im looking forward to it. the party is pretty sick i hear so i cant wait

Yo champ. Could'nt go down to boatrace just had 2much work. So how did you do? And the jol?
