    Bulking

    I have been bulking for the past 2.5 months and I have only gained about 4 pounds. I've been eating 3500+ calories a day and I am seeing minimal gains. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to gain those extra pounds?

    Very simple...eat more.

    If you are tracking your calories, I would increase your intake by 100 calories of your choice (assuming your hitting your protein & fat requirements).

    If the scale doesn't increase by 1-2 pounds in 2 weeks. Increase by another 100 calories.

    This will help you figure out a more accurate amount of calories you need. Rther than increasing by 500. But also remember bulking is still a PROCESS THAT TAKES TIME.

    Good luck in the bulk, b/c I am loving mine.
