Looks good bro , only thing is I would try And not have as many shakes and replace with more food !! Either way u will bulk for sure

 

[mike12]

Yea I thought about that but it's hard to get anymore solid food in especially working 10-12 hours a day.. Other than that any other input..

You need to consume essential fats.
Omega 3 eggs, all natural peanut butter, raw almonds.

Man I would gain shit loads of fat with all those carbs.

I lean bulk on about half of those carbs.

Include these good fats and cut your carbs if your gaining too much fat.
Good luck.

So.. I cut down the rice to One cup twice a day instead of 2, removed all shakes but the postworkout one and added some fish oil. Is it normal for the first little while on a bulk for stomach to be bloated?

 

[StevenM23]

Yeah man don't worry about gaining a little fat when ur bulking , unless ur lean bulking , I go from 10-15% bf when I bulk up hard lol

 

[CSB]

Yes it's normal to be bloated but try see what is bloating you , is it dairy etc because that can be switched around etc!

 

[msinnott1000]

What about adding in 2 slices if whole wheat bread?? Thatd give you another 30 gramps per meal, I usually take em with my shakes

 

[mike12]

So.. Im putting a little fat during this bulk and its the first time in my life I have a belly, and some fat gain right above hip bones. For the past couple days my right lower abdomen right above my hip bone is mild discomfort/pain, feels like a swelling or strain or something.. Is this normal as the fat gain on my lower abdominal area for the first time, its kinda scaring me, hoping its not anything serious...

I had the same thing bro , when I changed from 3000 to. 5500 calories , mine went away after a week
