I'm sure it is. You just hope that a medical professional will have your best interest in mind.
I'm really happy with the direction I'm headed. The back pain is less and less the better shape I'm getting in. I'm trying to put on some weight, though I'm finding it hard to eat enough. I've shed about all the body fat I had on me, now I'd like to add some more muscle. |

As the supporting muscles get stronger there is less stress on the skeletal structure. Gaining weight in the form of muscle is much more difficult than shedding body fat lol. Typically and naturally you need a minimum of a 500 cal surplus to gain weight (muscle) and for those who train hard it can be much more. Food choices should be caloric dense and high in protein and good quality carbs. Meals should be timed around workouts to provide maximum nutrition for growth, cardio should be limited to short sessions if at all. Training is of great importance, you need a good solid program designed on both strength and hypertrophy and you must stick to it for 5-6 weeks before switching up. If you are looking to set up a program a few of us could kick in a few ideas that may get you started. |

But your gains will be not as great if you can't take in enough calories and nutrition.

agreed. squat and deadlift are two very good exercises for building mass.

Squats and deads rule. You see all these adds for woman with whimpy exercises like butt sqeezes etc to build glutes, well ladies and gentleman, if you want a nice ass throw on some serious weight and squat. I have a program that I use myself and often suggest to those looking to add size and it works very well up to those near an advanced level. First though we do need some info as to your current level, do you lift now, have access to a gym or any equipment, for how long and do you have any records that would indicate load parameters for various lifts, if not , it's ok we can figure it out fairly quickly. The nutrition part is easy but will most likely require supplementation in the form of a good quality weigh protein powder. |

I've been doing squats twice a week 4 sets of 10 usually. I'm noticing my legs getting a little bigger, which in all honesty is where I've always lacked.

I weight 185 right now, weighed 210 a few months back. I rep with 185 on bench and squat right now Haven't been doing any dead lifts for fear of re-aggravating my back. I lift at home or at the Y. |

That's great. I am going to scan a program that I use. It's nothing fancy, based on a combination of strength and hypertrophy and uses big compound lifts for the primaries. If you follow this for 5-6 weeks you will see an increase in strength and size as long as you eat and that's fairly easy. It will fit in well with your back, it uses Romanian Deadlifts rather than full deads, this concentrates more on the upper 2/3 of the lift and is much easier on the back |
