How do YOU bulk?

[momo5]

eat calorie surplus and don't be afraid of fat gains, understand that without a certain thing that may not be said you will not gain muscle without fat gains.

Once I accepted that fat gains will come I started making good progress in strength and muscle gains.

[mrdot]

7000 cals a day

[midcoastking33]

i have to put the reigns on or it's good night blood pressure. my appetite upregulates too fast

[havoc713]

I get my macros and eat at a calorie surplus. I only eat grilled meat, vegetables, fruit, yogurt, whey, peanut butter, rice, potatoes, etc.

Haven't had fast food or junk food since my brother's birthday in April.

I like cardio so I eat extra on cardio days.

I think if you only worry about macros (eat whatever gets you there) and nothing else you might hurt your health. I have perfect cholesterol and blood pressure, and I don't just attribute it to just exercise.

Trying to keep longevity tied in with my goals.

[Sapporo]

I eat around 3000-3200 kcals of "clean food", other 300-500 comes from whatever i like, chocolate, burgers or just some cheese and chorizo.

[mmaKody]

I was lean bulking my first 3 months of lifting then I said fck it I'm tall and skinny so now I'm eating a lot more pretty much only care about how much protien I get and try to hit at least 3.5k a day.

[bongowongo]

In on this thread.



Just started my first bulk as well... Guesstimating everything because I'm too lazy to count cals


I'm gonna end up dreamer bulking srs lol... already feel fattier in my mid section, but also feel ''bigger'' and definitely enjoying the increase in strength.

Brb bulking when at 14-16% bf... good night sweet everything.

[havoc713]

lol

What? Am I doing something wrong?

[Sapporo]

lol

Yea can't imagine living like that. Or eating 3500 kcals in rice and grilled chicken.

When i'm really yolo-bulking i eat McDonald's, BK or KFC at least 3 times a week lol, dgaf.

(inb4 that's why you look like chit)

[tom11]

Some people here are doing it all wrong. Clean bulking is not eating "clean" foods. Clean bulking is when you eat only until 500 kcal above maintenance or 15-20%. When this percentage increases this is dreamer bulk. You can get dreamertech eating brown rice broccoli and chicken easily.

Misconceptions bruh

[JakeSim]

Few q's as I just started the dirty bulk yesterday. Yesterday was kind of a binge and slightly today as well as I've been so focused on cutting for a while being able to enjoy these foods is great.

But anyhow;

1: do you guys feel like garbage while dirty bulking?

2: do you get used to the stomach bloat?

3: with only being 2 days in, is it normal for my body to already appear less lean?

4: estimatedly how many cals do you guys end up reaching each day? I lost count tbh. I could be at 8k

I'm trying to accept the fact that I will gain fat. I'm very body dystrophic disordered or whatever so it's a process. Exposure as well!

Just fking eat 500 kcal over your maintenance with 150-200 gr of protein man. Stop making things too complicated, there are no secrets or whatever.

[2RDEYE]

Bruh, I'm not trying to make it complicated. Trying to understand this wizardry.

[tom11]

Bruh, I'm not trying to make it complicated. Trying to understand this wizardry.

It's not wizardry. Count your macros, eat 500 kcal over your maintenance, 150-200 gr protein, enough fiber and micronutrients and you will be alright nutritionwise.

Yes, but that's not how I'd like to approach it.

[henrycole]

4k cal i eat everything

[SilverSpork]

perma bulking for past 4 or 5 years. I don't see the point of getting fat just to gain muscle, if weightlifting is just a hobby of mine. Also do not have enough motivation or discipline to go on a cutting diet if I did a real bulk.

Additionally, I hate feeling bloated and like gutter trash when I eat a ****load. This happens nearly everytime I get baked. I eat and eat and eat, then wake up the next day feeling bloated and hungover. Two nights ago I ate (after already consuming my 3k calories a day that I try to hover around):

Frozen pizza
4 donuts
box of cheezits
2 bowls of cookie crisp
can of cashews
snickers
skittles
pint of ice cream

seriously do not know how I am not fat, must have a parasite. Two months ago I was getting ripped every night and eating nonstop at night.

[mcmullan3055]

I dirty bulked last time. I learned my lesson

This, never again.


Don't do it unless you have an amazing metabolism and or have a job which requires lots of excercise.

[RyGla]

eat big lift big. but also eat smart. drink diet pop, substitute calories where you can.

also, cardio is your friend. srs.

[BENNAYBOY]

I dirty bulked once. It was dumb. If you can put on 50 lbs of muscle in 6 months, it has everything to do with your genetics and doesn't matter what you eat. So unless you have god tier genetics dirty bulking will just make you fat.

[Sporklift]

Dirty bulked last time. Never doing it again. I felt like throwing up each time cause of eatting too much food also gained a lot of fat, but i do have to admit after the cut i gained a ton of muscle. Still not ready for bb.com though you guys are just sick .

I'm only two days into it but I'm already learning to just pick at things here and there and not eat until entirely stuffed. I'm also trying to eat a bit of fiber to help pass the stuff through and meanwhile limiting "junk" but also eating it at the same time (if that makes sense).
