Put me up on game brehs

Im 6'1-6'2 probably 160lbs... Im sure i dont eat enough, only lunch and dinner. But i live that on the go lifestyle so i dont have time to cook proper meals. (was working 60+ hrs during the summer and now im going to school while still working full time.)

Anyway ideally i would like to be around 180-185, and yes i have a gym membership

since may I went from from 165 to 180. My advice is work out hard and eat a lot. For me it wasn't hard because I just graduated college and hadn't started working yet so I just worked out and ate all day.

One piece of advice would be drink half a gallon of milk a day. Its not hard at all. A glass after every meal.

I worked at GNC for a year back around '09 and coming out of college, I was 170 (I'm 5'8). Always trained and took supplements...

My managers start putting me up on a few things. I had the gainer (Mass XXX) and MHP Dark Matter for post-workout. For the most part, I wouldn't recommend copping supps from GNC b/c they're always marked WAY too high but Mass XXX was a solid gainer. Another good one is Ultimate Nutrition Muscle Juice (lots of good extra calories)....

Anyhow, I changed my workout up and started going heavier...went from 170 to a LEAN 195 in what seemed to be less than 2 months. I was eating mostly baked chicken, brown rice, chicken shawarmas, and foot-long grilled chicken sandwiches from Subway while at work.

Like the other guys said, EAT like a monster and train heavy. Throw some heavy squats & dead-lifts in there (safely, of course). I'm always STARVING after training on leg day.

I'm bulking right now. I cut back down HARD (intentionally) to around 177 and just started bulking a few weeks ago out of boredom to see if I could break 200 this time. I'm just using Muscle Juice and increasing calories so far. I weighed in at 187. We'll see....

I dont get why people wanna weigh more. If I could retain my muscle mass now and drop like 10lb of fat Id be <180, 5' 10" and fukking RIPPED. I think its better to focus more on strength and muscle size... you could have a dude at 180 this year look completely different (+100x better) at 180 next year. And quality mass doesn't come cheap or fast after a couple of months. I would be careful brays, don't get caught up in that dirty bulk scam

:wtf:

Thats crazy... at those weights you could prob put on a good lb of muscle a week.

All Im saying is make sure the weight is muscle and not dirty bulk "muscle". Get them lifts up :lift: But be careful.

OP said he was 6'2 160...
i'm currently frail as fukk due to random life related shyt, i could use a solid 30lbs, i'm going clean bulk from now until spring
