I need to add 2 maybe 3 stone to my frame, lost a lot of weight recently due to effort, poorness, and my overly excited motab.
I want, for my own reasons to put on roughly a stone a month.

1- Is it possible
2- Is it healthy

Plan, drink a high carb shake after every meal, snack constantly between large meals, and take creatine. Will continue working out every other day.
Thoughts?
 
2 or 3 stone of what. Muscle? highly doubt that. Fat yeah that could be possible if your diet was dreadful enough.
 
That would be an awful shock to your whole system, metabolism, heart, liver etc... Take it slow, eat well. It might also depend on how much muscle memory your body has.
 
Easy to put a stone on in a month, although about 12-13lb will be water / fat :)

Unless you take some juice which might give you that if you are new to it.

I wouldn't recommend either. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of fat on though, i've put about 2 inches on my waist in the last 3-4 weeks with xmas eating :D
 
Yeah if you look in the bodybuilding photos thread you will see im incredibly lean. I need some mass in my face wrists etc etc, ive built to much muscle over bone, desperately in need of a waist before i turn triangle. Need to go from a 30-32 waist to a 36 for a tall fella.
 
Half a stone but ideally a bit less.

Depends were you're coming from. If massively under weight and with a background of bodybuilding / power lifting and you used to carry a lot of lean mass then muscle memory can play a huge part aswell. It is possible to gain a stone in the first month but things should then slow down. This is a fairly extreme case and if this was you then you wouldn't need to be asking this question on a forum ;)

Working out everyday isn't a good idea either, your body needs rest. I'm currently going for the totally opposite goal though, trying to lose a stone in a month :p

Click to expand...

I do it every other day.
Think im going to set a 3000+ cal level, i cant see that as being too unhealth, and i dont intend to stack myself full of bad fats. I will probably have half a stone of muscle memory as i used to weigh more. Its just going to need me to stop being so lazy.

Anyone got a good explaination of why a high calorie intake is bad

You don't need a 36" waist at 6'2". I'm 6'1" weigh around 15st and have a 34" waist and I look perfectly in proportion, if maybe a little like a "gym goer".

High calorie is only bad if it gets stored as fat or your intake of high calories are fatty/sugar based. However you have to do it gently. It's like suddenly turning up and trying to squat 300kg when you've only ever done 100kg. It's going to put a lot of strain on your body and you could injure yourself (and you probably wouldn't succeed either! :p). So you're cramming all these nutrients into your body when your body's not used to the intake, most of it will go to waste, and probably a lot of it will go into fat storage. However if you have a decent diet (usually 500cals extra ontop of your daily intake per day = 1lb extra per week) with a good variation, maybe some protein supplements and a good gym routine (3/4 times a week) you could potentially put on 4-6lbs in a month - but that is VERY hard work. Without eating any **** food or drinking lots of beer.
