I am at 130lbs and want to get to my destination of 138lbs ie im only 171cm tall. I understand that you say workout for only 45minutes. But What happens if i workout for 45minutes then do cardio and verticle leaping exerciese for lets say another 1 and a half. Would that do any problems for me? And if so would it make a difference for me to do the excercies like 5 to 6 hours later after the weight lifting workouts? I really like your article.

I would add in some pistol squats and maybe back extensions with the pushups, chins, dips and inverted rows and you can definitely get bigger on bodyweight only stuff. Jason Jonathan,

You can train back to back days if you have fairly decent recovery ability. If not, train every other day or three times per week. Jason Billy,

I train heavy and compound and do a lot of body weight exersize. Getting big. However, when I was skinny my punch was like lightning, and I,m starting to slow down a little. Other than bag work and clapping press ups what else can I do to get the snap back? Also I know you aint a fan of protein powder but the only way I can eat enough is buy smokin weed and getting the munchies, and work prohibits this in the morning. Any suggestions?

In previous post u talk about getting big by doing pull ups, dips and blast strap push ups ( which i own) so is it possible to gain size by eating tons of food and blasting pull ups, dips and strap push ups? Thanks Jay keep up the good shit. Jonathan Cole I think everything your saying is correct but I have a question.

It is a pleasure reading and analyzing articles by fitness professionals who extoll the virtues "old school" principles and wisdom in their fitness and training philosophy...just like myself. The only area where I disagree somewhat is the dogmatic belief and adherence to eating every two or three hours... that really does not allow sufficient time for proper digestion...(every three hours isn't too bad...but three and a half to four hours would be more along the ideal time frame...(at least thats what has worked best for me...and I have tried the two and a half to three hours many times in the past... I am nearly 50, and feel I am in the best shape of my life... dur mainly to incorporating mostly compound exercises/bodyweight/gymnastic type movements, and power/olympic lifts in my routine, aolng with more flexibility work as well...love it! A higher protein, higher fat diet with moderate carbs works best for me... somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% protein, 40%fat, and 20% carbs...maybe 25% carbs at most... I see you are a fellow New Jerseyian... would be great to workout and break bread with you someday if that day ever came... other fitness pros I like are Mike Geary, Greg Ballentine (spelling)?, and the guy that promotes Maximum Matabolism...(can't believe I forget his name)... Health, happiness, and blessings, Joseph Ciao Jason,

Glad to see the posts happening again... With regards to training heavy for size..what is the ideal rep range? I know there is sometimes confusion between rep range for strength gains vs size gains. Also, if you're working out hard like that can you do back to back training sessions or wait a day in between? Relentlessly trying... Billy Jason,
