Really want to bulk up any tips?

[DustinGodin]

I'm currently 16, I lost over 30 lbs since I started working out and I'm loving it ! And now I would really like to bulk up by next summer since I'm going to Florida. And I'm wondering if anyone would be able to recommend some supplements/food/diet that would help me get a lot stronger then I already am, and also of course look more bulky.

Thank you, Dustin Godin.

eat 500 cals over your maintenance

eat calorie dense foods- milk, eggs, cheese, chicken, steak, pizza, burgers, pasta, etc

for supplements try- multivitamin,whey protein, and maybe creatine

There is no magical way to gain weight without increasing your calorie consumption

if you are not gaining then you are not eating enough

keep uping your calorie intake untill you gain

Either you eat more, or..

Eat the same way you do now, every single day, except buy a weight gainer and use it before bed or something, just include it somewhere in your day while still eating the same you do now, you're gonna have to gain that way.

Of 3.5k cals isn't working then eat 4000 and if that don't work 4500...

[muffinman1996]

if what your saying is truly the case ( 3.5k cals a day) and your still not gaining i would consider saying (and i very rarlely say this) a dirty bulk... Eat everything in sight no matter what + no cardio + heavy lifts

[frmmyygsmnpu]

You should be gaining 1-2lbs a week, not 1-2lbs a day. Keep eating 3500 for a few weeks, and if the scale still doesn't move, then bump it up to 4000. Repeat the process.

Thank you for the tips I will try this + mass gainer, also thank you everyone for the great tips

1. Construct a base line diet
2. Increase calories by 300
3. Lift 3-4 days a week (Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Military Press, Pullups - each of these AT LEAST once a week)
4. Weight will go up, then stall
5. Increase Calories Again by 300
6. Lift
7. Repeat


Some tips:

* Peanut Butter is ~150 cals a tablespoon, easy meal is 4 tbps's + a glass of milk
* Even on a bulk, try keep carbs to Breakfast/Pre WO/Post workout
* Eat protein with every meal - meat (on a bulk the best is beef/pork/lamb due it being more calorically dense than chicken) and other proteins (whey powder, eggs, milk)
* You can start by drinking Skim (tastes like ****) or 2% milk (tasts gud) and later in your bulk, just switch to Full Cream Milk for an effortless increase in calories (depending on how much milk you drink a day)


Be prepared to eat a lot food. Im not even big, but going from 74kg's to ~79kg's (11 pounds), I ate this on a workout day:

Breakfast - 5 Eggs, 50g Bacon, 500mL Milk, 30g Whey Protein, 1 Banana
Pre WO - 750mL Milk, 45g Whey Protein, 1 Apple
Post Workout - 250mL Milk, 180g Oats, 30g Whey Protein
Snack - 4 tbps's Peanut Butter
Dinner - Meat + Green Veggies/Salad
Pre Bed - 250mL Milk, 15g Casein Protein, 1 tbsp Peanut Butter

Eat, eat, eat. Everyone has said before, Im just not getting bigger anymore. The main problem is they dont eat enough. Keep a daily journal of what you eat for about three days. It might give you an insight of what might be missing in your diet. Another good way to give you ideas for meals is look at magazines. I just read the November Flex and it shows some great meal plans to really pack on muscle. A tip Ive learned is keep some plastic spoons and forks in your car since eating will almost become a job. But the gains will be worth it.


Have fun with it-Zach

Why do people keep asking for "tips for bulking up"? There aren't any tips. You just lift heavy s**t, eat lots of food, and then you grow.

Maybe try working out using a 3 x 10-12 rep range?
