I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Fantastic work!

Hi Jonathan,
To gain weight and build more muscle, focusing on both resistance training and nutrition is important. When calculating your height, weight, and age; you should probably get about 3000 calories per day–55% carbohydrates, 20% protein, 25% fat.

Chocolate protein shakes are my favorite! Try blending protein powder and yogurt or 2% milk with flavors you like (ex: yogurt with blueberries and protein powder). It would help to have a shake every day.

Since you have limited spare time because of school work, you can get your resistance training at home. If you are lifting weights, remember: less reps, heavier weight when trying to build muscle. Best of luck and good health to you!

Hi Jonathan, I’m having the same problem as you! I had brain surgery a year ago and I’m still trying to put on the weight that I lost while I was sick. I’m losing muscle now because I don’t have any fat left. My neurologist took me off one of my meds (Topamax) because that drug can cause weight loss. Are you on any meds that can be contributing to the problem? I look forward to some suggestions that will help us both out!

hi everyone, I’m fifteen and i recently had brain surgery in my cerebelum to remove a rosette-forming tumor. It’s been almost 6 months now, and while my issues with nausea and balance are fixing themselves, I’m having trouble puting on weight and muscle. I way 120lb currently, and before surgery i weighed 130+, also i am getting very boney. I have lost ALOT of muscle, i am around 5’10″ and have a very high metabolism. I already had enough problems with weight and muscle beforethe surgery, now its damn near impossible to work with. I’m really getting down about this, i was wondering if any of you could suggest a diet, exercise plan etc. (problem with exercise plans is they cannot interfere with school seeing as i’ve already missed way too much and am swamped with work. please help and contact me ASAP! thanks in advance.

Although I don’t use mine this way, their springiness and shape would make them good equipment mats. They’re too short for yoga, but if you’re looking to line a larger area for floor exercise or a child’s play area, these mats are a good choice.
