Brehs lets talk about bulking

[malc]

ive been eating whatever i wanted to for about the past month but i think im def gonna go clean bulk from now on... i may start doing cardio again too.

im 5'10 160 i just want to gain 10 pounds fat or not shrugs
fuk the gym and working out i don thave time for that

 

[MikelArteta]

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

cuz being skinny sucks


theres websites and products littered how to lose weight but gaining weight and keeping it is a bytch and a half

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....

How much are you doing?


I would stick with it just to stay fit, cardio wise. Keep it at the end of a workout and you should be fine.

Just 15-20 min, get my hr up

Yeah...it is, but it wasn't exactly like I was skinny to begin with. I've been training for a long time but before then, I had never focused on adding the calories extra calories. I naturally put on muscle fairly easily and at that time all the supps and training were making my appetite crazy. I just ate clean, shakes right after meals and training, made it happen.

Everyone's different. I was caught off-guard but any progress (slow or fast) is still progress.

I hear you, breh. I'm a solid 178 right now (maybe 181 on a good day). I came from 170ish last summer. I started my bulking about 2 weeks ago and I'm pushing for 190 by the beginning of next year (Feb. maybe). The thing is, I'm not the cleanest of eaters. I'll eat fried chicken instead of baked, often.

Been trying to eat 2500 calories a day, which is easy for now, but when school picks back up Monday, I know imma have problems. I've been eating a few spoons of natural peanut butter a day to fill in some calorie gaps, but the shyt is still rough.

I might have to up my calorie intake, I don't know.

How many calories where you eating when you hit 190, breh?

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

Feel you on that breh.. shyt is hard out here for a pimp... point is you can only really put on a lb of lean muscle a week so really its just hard work and a waiting game.. good luck to ya
