Chapter 47 Don't Be Anxious
Gaining weight from 83 kg to 85 kg, don't underestimate the mere increase of two kilograms. For a big eater, it seems like a matter of a meal, but Gawain is not simply increasing the weight like a weightlifter, but increasing the muscle weight. These two things cannot be confused.
Gaining weight while reducing body fat percentage, increasing muscle strength while avoiding affecting mobility, these need to be done simultaneously and neither is indispensable.
The ideal result is that weight and strength increase, body fat percentage decreases, muscles become stronger, and even mobility is improved.
Of course, it is not an easy task! And it needs to be completed within two months, and the difficulty is multiplied! It is precisely because of this that Martin is very cautious and serious. This matter requires professionals to make a detailed plan and then strictly implement it. If there is a problem in any link, the failure of the weight gain plan is a small matter, but the destruction of the growth curve is a big matter. No one wants problems to occur.
"When will all your final exams be finished?" Martin's eyes were very focused, revealing a hint of caution.
"All the final projects have been submitted, so I have time for extra practice," Gao Wen said obediently.
Martin had a smile in his eyes, "No wonder Clay and the others said you always poke their scars."
After each practice session, Gawain would never tire of reminding his teammates to study hard for the exam, to the point that the group of guys complained and called Gawain "devil". Only MacDonald stood aside and grinned happily. Now Martin finally understood what was going on.
"That's great." Martin nodded repeatedly to show his satisfaction. "According to your height, body shape, and limb proportions, the best weight would be around 89kg or 90kg. But there's no need to rush. We should take it step by step. Patience is the most important thing."
Indeed, growing from 83 kg to 90 kg, while maintaining body fat percentage, and ensuring that movement steps and technical movements can adapt to one's own technical and tactical style, definitely requires long-term planning, formulating a detailed plan, and implementing it step by step, which may even take a year.
Fortunately, Gao Wen is only eighteen years old now, so they still have enough time to slowly plan and execute.
Thinking of this, Martin showed a relieved smile - looking forward to the future, he is always full of confidence. As long as he does not rush, he will be able to have a bright future.
"Don't be anxious. Take it slow and steady. The future is long. As long as we set a goal, we will reach it." Martin said earnestly, looking at Gawain with caring eyes. "Well, let's start with correcting the serve. In today's training, let Grant follow you to practice serving."
"Yes, coach." Gawain responded in a soldier's tone, successfully making Martin's eyes sparkle with a smile again, like the ripples on the lake, reflecting the golden sunshine of California in December, and his honest brows also brightened.
The final exams are proceeding in full swing.
Daily training is carried out step by step.
In the blink of an eye, time flies, and four weeks have slipped through our fingers. The Christmas holiday is over, and the New Year's Day holiday has also come to an end. We bid farewell to the last sunset of 2013 and ushered in the first dawn of 2014. When the Bruins players are waiting to return to training, there are less than three weeks left before the opening of the spring season.
For young college students, the final exams are finally over, and they can't wait to embrace the vacation and relax completely.
But for Gao Wen, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to daily training, and during the winter training period, he truly ushered in a cumulative period of all-round growth.
"If you don't work hard during winter training, the boss will regret it."
Daily training proceeds step by step; strength training and weight gain plans also progress steadily as planned.
For Gao Wen, the most torturous thing is not the heavy technical training and strength training, but the boring, long and tiring extreme training, challenging his own ceiling again and again. As a result, he cannot enjoy delicious food as he pleases, but instead has to follow scientifically formulated nutritional packages.
It’s so miserable. It’s really so miserable.
Adhere to the principle of eating small and frequent meals every day, and divide the total calorie intake into five meals a day, of which breakfast accounts for 20% of calories, morning snack 10%, lunch 30%, afternoon snack 10%, and dinner 30%. Specific recipes are formulated for each meal based on nutritional combinations.
For example, the recipe for one day is as follows:
Breakfast is eggs with turkey sausage, oatmeal, and nonfat yogurt.
The morning snack is whole wheat bread with apples and bananas.
Lunch is 200 grams of chicken breast with whole grains, vegetables, avocado, etc.
The afternoon snack is sweet potatoes, carrots and milk.
Dinner was fish with pasta, broccoli, blueberries, etc.
Of course, the combination of staple food and supplementary food will change every day, to ensure that the "weight gain diet" will not make people feel bored, not just chicken breast, chicken breast, chicken breast, protein powder, protein powder -
If this is the case, you might start foaming at the mouth halfway through your weight gain, just like a broiler chicken stuffing feed down its throat.
But no matter how things change, the essence remains the same: a nutritious diet is still a nutritious diet, and most importantly, the joy of eating has been taken away, and dining has become a task.

Occasionally, you can enjoy a little "luxury" midnight snack. The best choice is a glass of kale juice, otherwise, it is a protein powder milkshake.
That feeling... Gawain refused to recall it. If he accidentally remembered it, his only thought would be to overturn the table -
Crayfish, lamb skewers, barbecue hotpot, fried chicken, spicy hot pot, hot and sour noodles, braised chicken wings, beef noodles, snail noodles, pan-fried buns, spicy chicken feet, fried snails, seafood porridge, fried pork chops.
These are the midnight snacks, okay? Gao Wen really missed the midnight snack food street in his hometown. He walked from the beginning to the end of the street and couldn't stop at all. He could smell the rich fragrance floating in the air even with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but start to drool. But when he opened his eyes, he was standing in a food desert with only a mirage.
I looked down at the kale juice in my hand, closed my eyes again, and muttered to myself, milk tea, milk tea, this is a cup of sweet milk tea.
After repeating it a hundred times, you will be able to swallow it.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Gawain is not the only one who needs to gain weight. Even Thompson needs to gain a little weight, not to mention Gillon, McDonald and others. Moreover, in the basketball team and the rugby team, there are a large number of players who need to eat at regular times and in fixed quantities.
Just like animals kept in captivity in a farm.
They met each other frequently in the athletes' restaurant, and over time, they became close friends who saw each other every day. When they met, they would say hello and enthusiastically ask each other "How was the snack today?", and then, after getting an indescribable constipated expression, they would leave laughingly.
By looking at each other's indescribable weight-gain diets, their devastated hearts can find some comfort.
