You serious about bulking? (srs)

[Fallfree]

There was a time at the Old Westside gym where I couldn't gain weight to save my f-g life.

There was this dude who trained there who could just put on weight like f-g magic. He'd go from 198 to 308 and then to 275 and back down to 198. And he was never fat. It was amazing.

I finally asked him one day how he did it.

"You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I'll fill you in."

Now remember, we're at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious s-t if we have to go outside, I thought.

So we get outside and he starts talking.

"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that s-t down and eat. That's your breakfast."

At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious.

"For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG BS. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter."

"For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that f-kr up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that s-t over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the s-t out of it."

"Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that f-kr. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals."

This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this.

"Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that s-t. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You f-g can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.

And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a f-k about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!"

Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn't get much fatter. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, though.

[MacDaddy68]

lawl Babyslayer did this and he got obese, strong nonetheless. A normal human being will gain size/strength but gains loads of fat doing this.

[Prob382]

wow dude, thats pretty nuts, youd think that kind of "dirty bulk" would be unadvisable....

[UCFBuilder]

great story....dave tate is the man....but u seriously cant believe that anyone not on "supplements" can gain that much weight that quickly without getting fat

[Hurleyy]

with gear you can eat like that, but a normal person doesn't have the time, or resources to do that ****. thats like 25-30 bucks a day on food. maybe more. fuuuck that

YES. The truth! op is a bastard for posting this. it's articles like these that got me into bulking and quickly i realized how stupid this approach was.

yeah. its a lot cheaper to just buy roids, and you wont even get fat

[SOCALpump]

I went form 138-175 in about 5 months. Was eating around 4-5k calories a day for the first 2 or so months. Then 3-4k calories for the rest.

I am DEF. not cut/low bf%, but it isn't much higher than when I started and all my lifts increased dramatically. Starting to slow down a bit now and cut a little (as of the past few weeks). Currently at 168 and pretty happy with my progress. Yeah, I'm not even closed to having a nice physique, but I was twig skinny less than 5 months ago. I mean, I could hardly even curl 25 lbs for reps. Couldn't bench +100. Made huge improvements.

I had take +20 days off due to a shoulder injury, just started lifting again last week. So currently I'm a little soft.

Just my 2 cents.

dude u were 138. u were anorexic, for ur this would work, not for a normal person.

[Tex24]

IMO this story is more usefull when you look beneath the obvious.

Basically, if you can't gain wait, eat a **** LOAD of food, and you will. Then it becomes clear. You can't gain weight because you're not eating enough. Simple enough, yet so many fail at it

[Tex24]

You're an idiot for even trying anything even close unless you're on gear or are an extreme ecto

sooo this. it's hilarious how the only people who seem to have trouble gaining weight are anorexic 130 lbers

maybe its because you eat like a little girl, brah.

[SOCALpump]

dude u were 138. u were anorexic, for ur this would work, not for a normal person.

Not going to argue with that, I agree with your posts.

My knowledge on the subject is limited, but yeah I'd think the bulking in OP would only work if you were scrawny as fukc like I was or juicing.

[Blk98Bird]

lmao, Dave Tate is crazy as hell

disclaimer though, he was probably juiced up pretty good and training like an animal over at westside when he did this, so I'd imagine it would not go well for the average lifter

[Jburn]

Dave tate looks like shyt

no thanks

[Josho0909]

yes i didnt knwo much about working out which is why i joined this forum. but what r u gonna do when u r bombarded with this type of threads telling u to stuff ur face to get big? this will only get u fat and make u feel miserable when u finally realize how much fat u need to lose.

It's fairly obvious to even people who DON'T workout that eating all of that will make you fat....

Junk food = fat

it's common knowledge

[sl4vik]

Haha **** Dave Tate.

He is still a fat bastard. Look at his most recent pics.

He got down to 12% one time.

Also he admitted to being extremely unhealthy, his cholesterol is through the roof, lipid's all over the place and his doctor said he doesn't even know why he is alive.

More T-nation/elitefts bs.

[Hurleyy]

gj josh man for clowning on fools who think bulking is good. only rookies and n00bs to the game bulk. it rarely works because you are a beginner and don't know what you are doing. oh well....


for the sake of the thread, you can eat whatever u want while on the juice. 5000 calories and you'll get huge.

[flacidfap]

dude is troll and has been called out for fraudness, disregard all his posts

[LifeByTheHorns]

I did that for about 2 months.

Gained a **** load of fat. Had bitch tits and everything.

Did gain a bit of muscle mass though.

A BBer at my gym tells me he bulks on taco bell at least 3-4 times a weak. Dude is a beast.

If I did that though, I would just get fat. ****ty genetics FTL

[OnTheReg]

lmao retarted David Tate. Have you seen this guy? He has a ****en beer belly. this whoel article is bull ****. Post this **** in teen section, they'll listen to u. all this bulking and cutting is just bull ****. **** tate's fatass, we aint trynna loook like him

"you must spread some more reputation around before negging this ******* fucck again"





also OP, fucckin awesome post. i hate it when people tell me they are hard gainers and cant get big. they way ive eaten in the past few years is the most disciplined thing i've ever done in my life. shiits hard.
7k cals a day, every day.
