i started a bulk 4 weeks ago at 113.. I know I was skinny. i tried bulking when i was a freshamn and I gained weight fast and I felt like I was gonna get fat so I cut back down and I have been 113 for 2 years now. finally decided if I wanna 1 day compete I gotta get big. So i did bulking right I found out to my suprise I was only eating 1800 cals a day!!!! way to low for 16 year old so I uped it to 2100 and have gained 12 pounds in a month. I fell super strong but I feelt like my abs are gone.. I think mayb I was under nurtised though and thats why I gained weight so fast.. I am a halth freak so i eat super clean. Make all my meals cuz im the only healthy one in my family. I was around 145 in the 7th grade and I started running alot and lost alot of wieght in the 8th grade I became anorceic going under 100 lbs!!!! I got everything straight 3 years ago and it was because of body building.. i meet a ameutre body builder and I was hooked. thats when i first started to bulk but I didnt know as much as I did now. I dont even remember benching. I think Im doing it right, but I just didnt think I would gain weight so fast...my first week 4 weeks ago i gained 5 pounds in 7 days with only 300 cals over my BMR...
I cant explain it but all my lifts keep going up....

:| 12 lbs in a month?
either your genetics decided to rear thier ugly little heads.
or you're not being honest with yourself.
pics to prove would be best.

What should I do??
continue at 2100 cals??
drop them lower???
I didnt think 300 cals over BMR would do this.
2100 cals is to low for someone my age though........

You're putting on weight because you're just getting fatter. If you want to make really good gains, which would be 1-2 pounds of muscle a MONTH, you should rethink your routine. First off, you need to eat more. I know a guy from another forum who was 135 and is aiming for 185, who is eating 4000-5000 cals. A lot more than what you are currently eating huh? Second, 4 weeks isn't a lot of time. If you work hard, you can gain 24 pounds of muscle...in one YEAR. So be patient, because gaining muscle is a slow process. Eat cleaner foods if you don't want to add BF%. Eat more and continue to lift big.

Bulking Meat.....Cow Pork Salmon
Cutting Meat....Tuna Chicken
Other Bulking Protein Peanut butter
Dont forget greens and vitamins
Fruit i like an apple after workout and a banana in the morning
Carbs-
Bulking you will need alot of carbs so you can lift try to get them in around workout time with the simpleset closest....carbs in the morning to since your body hasn't eaten in hours
Protein- fast digestin (whey) at breakfast and after workout
slower digesting before bed (casien)
Sleep-
without enough sleep you wont grow shoot for lik 9hours

and the above isn't true.
you can expect to sometimes gain a healthy 1-2 lbs a WEEK, if you training and eating right.
but it's different for every person."Why don't you worry about yours, Let them worry about theirs. I Got Mine" -Lil' wayne

ok dude, if you're gaining weight, making good gains like you want, and you're doing so well you can't even explain it and don't know why. it sounds like your looking for compliments. keep eating how you are until the gains stop, then add 200-500 calories, till the gains start again. you're not jacked or anything, just keep working at it your off to a good start.

Lots of bread in there, most people I know, me included, tend to look a little bit puffier with bread. If it worries you, try replacing the bread with another carb source.

You said you gained 5 pounds in 7 days. You're a fat ass, and obviously eating like one, because you can't gain that much ****ing weight from eating so little calories. I'm cutting, and I eat more than that. So as I extrapolate this further, it seems to me that 1) like the other person said, you're just trying to be an attention whore and looking for compliments or 2) you're not lifting as much as you need to, because like I said, 1-2 pounds of muscle in one month is the optimal gain, and right now, you're just adding fat to your body. Suggestions: Keep trying to lift bigger weights, and add some cardio fat ass.

You only need to train each body part once a week not twice and make sure you're progressing each week with your lifts. Good luck dude

Heres a simple calculation i use, times your body weight by 18-20 times so for you 125x20= 2500 calories a day. You can use a 40/30/30 protein/carbs/fats. For example to find out how much protein you need to have daily times your daily caloric intake by .40 and there are 4 calories per gram of protein (2500x .40= 1000 (1000/4 = 250gs a day) Theres 4 calories to each carb and 9 for fat.
