Yeah thats pretty much what I've been doing, its just hard to get the unsaturateds in the dorms, I need to get some fish oil or something, but I eat fish everytime they have it there.  I told him to have the fruit juice just right after his workout not on rest days an such.

Edit: Whats EVOO, I'm guessing its fish oil or olive oil or something?

Fish oil is actually mostly saturated fat -- but its rich in Omega-3s, which is good.

Does your food hall have Olive Oil in a bottle at the salad bar?  I suggest taking a tupperware and filling it with the olive oil and taking it back to your room.

Put olive oil on everything man. Saturate your food with it if necessary.  Makes veggies taste delicious and will get your calories up way high.

Fruit juice post workout is better than just hangin out...so it seems like you're def on the right track there.

Oh, and btw, make sure you lift heavy things ... without aggravating your back Tongue

haha yeah I'm still trying to figure stuff out, I can't really squat which is obviously the best thing for gaining weight, leg press is gay and requires no technique.  But I guess the leg press is working because I got 9'4" the other day at class for broad jump.  I want to military press but I know thats definitely not good either.  Doing weighted pullups, and if I had a spotter I would bench more.  Any bright ideas?  I've been deadlifting but I can't really go heavy on those because of my back.

Military press is fine -- but you would need to be careful to stand upright with your back problems..i am sure you would feel a twinge and could bail at the first sign of pain though...make sure you do these standing, too, btw...

Squat is good, but DL is king for mass gains.  Squat will make you stronger than an ox, for sure, but DL is pretty damn damaging (in a good way.)

I would DL conservatively...and maybe even squat with very light weight and strict adherence to form.  Squats with a weight vest would be good too at high speeds.

Bench u can ask some dude around u to spot you -- believe me, it helps...a TON.  Make sure not to arch your back on the push off as this might aggravate your back.

Weighted Pullups and Dips will be the easiest thing for you to do safely -- and they can be pretty damn damaging themselves, which will cause growth.

I recommend a routine pretty heavy on weighted pulls, dips and DLs with a strict aherence to form.  for OH pressing ability, the military press is good, standing, as are full ROM HSPU on parallettes.  Planche will likely be better for you in every way than benching...work on planche pushups (Pseudo Planche PU, Tuck Planche PU, Straddle Planch PU, One leg planche PU etc.).

Also, lever work is pretty damn intense too as well as one armed chin work.  OAC Negatives are a great way to start, as are assisted OAC pullups (using 1 finger or something like that).  Tuck Front lever pulls and pullups are very intense and will definitely make you bigger.

Also, don't forget Sprints...great for developing the lower body as a body-weight-only exercise that will keep scaling with intensity naturally as you get faster...and should be just fine for your back.

Weighted pistols perhaps? Not sure if that would aggravate...

Second on sprints if that doesn't hurt either.

Ugh I really wish I could do sprints but I can't.  I don't know about weighted pistols I'll give them a shot today.

went to the gym with Ryan today to do some maxes and one arm work.  Forgot about pistols but I got 90 lbs weighted pullup which I'm pretty happy about.  Also got 170 bench and I haven't ever worked on it.
