Bulking

[antun91]

hey guys i have been bulking for the past 2 months or so and i have seen minimal gains in weight, i have definitely filled out but i have plateau'd around 195 and cant seem to break 200. im on a fairly good diet consisting of 6 meals a day, doing my best to make it a 40/40/20 p,c,f ratio but the weight still wont come. do you have any advice as to any good supplements or other diets?

What is the total calorie intake your taking in daily?

[chazzy1864]

You need more calories. As you gain more muscle, you'll need more calories to maintain, so now you've skewed your maintenance numbers closer to your bulking numbers. So now you need to up your bulking caloric intake. If you can't stuff any more food in your face, look to a weight gainer. Replace a mid meal snack or two with it.

i would venture to guess im taking in somewhere around 3000-3500 calories a day, the only problem is i get no lunch time with school and all i can only fit in 2 meals between 9 and 3 o clock so i usually end up taking some casein w/ oats around 11 or 12

Well not sure of your diet and what it is consisted of but throw in a glass of whole milk along with your meals for cheap way to pack on calories and adjust your fats/other stuff accordingly. A cup has about 150 calories along with around 8 g's of protein.

Or look into a weight gainer or creating your own. However, 3 cups of whole milk is 450 calories itself.

hey...i know you..

bring a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread loaded with peanut butter...it can be 500 calories extra easily.

and by the way you're in this video

yea i eat that power PB every day atleast once but thats not doing anything special for me, btw how do you know me, do you go to powerhouse?

3000-3500 calories for someone at 195 pounds is not enough.

Up your calories by 1000, you will break 200.

haha yeah...the whole school is on this site.

you can get a weight gainer but I rather just eat more. you can add olive oil to your shakes. I've never tried it but it's 120 extra calories per table spoon and people say you don't even taste it.

[antun91]

i heard about that olive oil **** i just didnt think it wud b a good idea, but who else in our school is on here besides like graz and the kids i lift with?

it sounds nasty...I used to eat it plain and it's disgusting. I can gain weight too easily so I don't know.

I think that's it...but you lift with like 10 people so that's a lot

I'm also friends with 2 guys on here that go to the gym but not our school.

[antun91]

haha yeah it took a while. I'm in it for a good minute and a half talking to someone.

I was in a different one from November back when I weighed like 195. I looked so much bigger than I am now.

[antun91]

yea u were huge in the beginning of the year, u gona bulk more over the summer?

[theoryTim]

no business commenting, forum post is about my bulking diet, not what you think about me finding a schoolmate on this website

First off, I was just joking. I thought it was funny to see two people that go to the same state, same school, same location and meet up in the Nutrition section of a forum.

Second, I offer you my advice which believe it or not, was pretty legit advice.

People can't take a joke these days...

[antun91]

and what advice was that, all u sed was some BS about eharmony

yeah i was supposed to bulk until january but I stopped in november because I was getting stretch marks on my arms. they looked really bad and I just wanted to shrink to help them go away. They are fading now and look a lot better. I cut until like March and now I'm slowly clean bulking trying to gain about .5 pounds a week and I'll continue that during the summer. I got a little too fat last time since I ate more than I needed to and I want to be able to take my shirt off this summer.

same...I wanted to cut to 8% body fat but I never really got there. My shoulders suck and I pretty much have no biceps so I'm trying to bring those up and I can't do that by still cutting. I'm hoping I get leaner as I bet bigger slowly but I'm sure that won't happen. I'm doing cardio this time though. Last time I bulked I didn't do any.
