With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

He has to get into the habit and can't be lazy about it. If he can do that, he will be rewarding himself little by little with the mass he's looking for. -------------- MOO!

You can never make somebody do something they don't want, it is always up to that person, he has to want it bad enough and be willing to make sacrifices, until then, just do the best you can do. Good luck
