Another pet peeve I developed is guys doing rack pulls and loading 5+ 45s a side just to ego lift
All I can think of every time they drop the weight on the safety rails is that they fukking up my squat bar
Feel like saying if they so strong to dealift that shyt
Uh don’t hold back, I need tips. Trying to bulk here. I struggle to eat at maintenance so eating in surplus is hard for me without straight up vomiting. Even drinking two Orgain meal replacement shakes a day, in addition to 3 meals barely gets me over and my body feels uncomfortable. WFH and then having to cook all day to keep up. shyt feels like a second job.
If not I was finna have you're ass eating 8 meals a day.

1) Drink more cals. Whole milk, DIY juices, smoothies, etc. Requires no cooking/chewing and is easier to take in than less dense solids.
Also, post up the label for the shakes. The ones I saw were super-low cal. A bigger shake split into two servings is more calories and less money on supps.
2) Lift weights more, especially squats and deads. This will burn more cals than isos but will also lead to a greater anabolic response and boost your appetite.
3) Eat. Put yourself on a schedule. Even if you're not hungry, eat something. Once you get in the habit of eating and taking in the food it will be easier to eat more and more.
4) Don't be afraid to get a little dirty. Mix in some junk food here and there. Junk food typically has more calories than clean whole foods and will help you reach your caloric intake goals.
5) Don't drink ice-cold drinks.
Thank you! All of these (except the last one) I already do, have tried or know that not doing them is the issue.
I don’t care for juices or smoothies unless it’s my protein shakes. I’m not a fan of sugar or dairy or junk (anymore). I worked hard to break that habit and having it makes me feel like shyt.
But oatmeal juice is a common drink that I’ve had in the past, so I’m going to try and work up a healthy dairy free option to have with breakfast.
Believe me when I tell you #2 was my last ditch attempt. Basically try to work myself into hunger and adhere to a schedule like #3 but then I‘d have such trouble keeping food down, that I end up skipping meals/not eating enough to make any gains. I actually ended up dropping weight and being tired all the time when I did this over the summer It’s an awful cycle.
Thanks again for this though. I’ll just have to try again. If I want it as bad as I say I do then I’ll succeed It is what it is.
This is the meal replacement I have now. I try to cook and eat as much of my meals and proteins as I can, but I’m sure everyone that has tried knows how hard it can be depending on your goals.
Yeah, that's not much for a true MRP. Maybe take a look at one that's 600-1200 calories and halve it instead.
Also, milk. A quart a day + squats will have you on donk status.
I would would not say I’m skinny - just flabby and thick () due to inactivity. 125 was my lowest. I’m 150 now and cannot budge above that no matter what I do. I’m in need of serious body recomposition and a little gain.I used to drink a half gallon daily in addition to whole food, snacks, and mass gainer.
Went from skinny to status in a few months.

If I drank a quart of milk a day my guts would fall out of my ass.
