Bulking tips

[ramirezarlene]

I am a 16 year old female beginning in the bodybuilding world . I need tips on what to eat and what types of workouts are best for bulking up. I already have a weight gainer which is the syntha-6 . I just need tips on where to start , i know i should eat like twice the normal calorie intake but i also want to know how much heavier weights should i lift. Obviously i can't lift like 80 pounds since i am weak and skinny but how much should i be lifting to start out with? Thanks in advance !

For your own sake, read all the stickies in this and the other sub forums, as well as the General Chat's "First Time Bulkers" thread.

You don't need a mega calorie surplus, though I don't know what you're consuming now, and therefore don't know what twice that would be.

Women can only gain about 1/2 pound of muscle per month. Before you add heavy weights, practice form, and get it down %100. When you're ready for weights, you should be going for whatever you can lift for about 6-10 reps before reaching a point where you can't do another rep without losing form.

Like fish said, read the stickies, and check out this thread.

Good on you for taking an interest in building muscle, especially at your age.
