How do you bulk????

[black sheep]

Do you count calories or just eat like crazy?

 

[pdaddy]

Both, find out what your basal metabolic rate is and go a few thousand cals higher than that. The tricky part is trying to keep it all clean food, pretty hard to do so fat will accumulate a bit w/ the muscle.

I eat everything and dont count BUT it is still clean. Lol, I thought I was dieting but found out I was still eating 3k everyday when I actually counted it, doh. Bulking is WAY easy for me. I can eat 10k calories if the opprotunity arises.

Actually I find bulking to be much harder, it is pretty hard to consume 4-5k cals of clean food thoughout the day.

 

[black sheep]

I am going to eat like crazy this time, and worry about cutting down afterward.

I am eating Steak, whole eggs, peanut butter, mass protein shakes as the cornerstone of my calories and protein intake. Taking in plenty of carbs as well.. I was going to count, but I think I am just going to eat eat eat..

BTW - My Cycle is the following:

Week 1-12 Test LE 600mg/week
Week 1-12 EQ 600mg/week
Week 1-5 T-Bol 60mg ED

Arimidex and Proper PCT of course..

Exactly. If you are eating very clean, things like chicken and vegetables for example, the volume you have to eat is crazy. Its not like eating a donut and getting 500 calories.

 

[Throw2Far]

I eat like fucking crazy and then cut...

And no if you are taking in 2xlb bodyweight in protein and getting quality carbs and fats its not that hard to hit 6000 calories... atleast for me...lol

Yeah if you try to keep it clean it becomes MUCH harder to get tons of cals and bulk effectively. Its easy to eat 10,000 cals of crap...

 

[satchboogie]

eat, eat, and then eat more..

but try to stay away from bad fats.
LOTS of carbs is the key!

I would suggest running the EQ to week 14-15.

I hope you saw that I said I still eat clean. In my dorm I don't have any unhealthy food at ALL.

Yeah, that shit is hard for me to pull off...but its definately the way to go. It just takes a hell of a lot of brown rice, oatmeal, chicken, etc. I guess its the preparation that makes it harder for me than say...fast food and ramen. I can do it but with a busy schedule of classes and work its a pain in the ass.

If you're an intelligent BB, then you should always know exactly how many cals you're consuming during bulking. If you don't, then how do you know how much you need to increase to keep gaining when the gains stop? And how do you know how much to eat while dieting after you've the extra mass, which will result in a higher basal metabolic rate? The BB's that ignore this rule are always the ones that get fat as fuck and then lose everything while dieting because they don't eat enough calories.

It is damn near impossible to eat that much clean food! Most people grossly overestimate how many cals they eat when they are eating clean. Eating that much oatmeal, rice, chicken, and beef is a serious chore.

 

[ajax_1]

would weight gainer shakes be considerd eating clean?????

It depends on what they are composed of.

 

[ajax_1]

any good sugjestions...id rather force a 1200 cal shake down than 1200 cals of real food...its hard as hell to get all your cals in real food lol

I have used n-large 2 by Prolab. It wasn't too shabby. It's around 600 cals a serving. It mixes pretty well. I really like the gainer from Yates, it was good stuff.

counting calories would endup sending me to the state mental hospital. i already have in my head what i'm suppose to eat. i try to go with what my body tells me. that may sound stupid to most. but it works for me. i used to eat around 1.5 lbs.of beef per day. got away from that and stuck to talapia, and salmon. lots of it and a ton of meal replacements. glycogen and creatine loader by vitargo. fast protein during the day and slow before bedtime.

Do you count calories or just eat like crazy?

The easiest (but very expensive) way is to add 15 double scoop protien shakes a day to your existing diet.

MY current bulking main menu. Eat at least 6 bowls a day. 1 cup raw uncooked oatmeal, 1.5 cup shreaded wheat, 1 cup grape nuts. 1/2 cup rasins, 2 tbs natty pb, 1/2 banana, 1 spoon full of sugar free jelly, 2 cups milk, 6 packs splenda. Best meal ive ever eaten, and around 1,500 clean cals per bowl.

Wouldn't you get sick of eating the same thing 6 times a day ever day?

I'm running this exact cycle this fall. However I'm doing it without adding tons of extra calories. I put on weight so easily that if I eat 4500 cals a day I'll gain 30 lbs of blubber. It'll be interesting to see how both of our cycles go with the contrasting diets.

Damn Borg! That's a man meal baby!

 

[borg4902]

I ate it for 3 months strait last year. I love the stuff. Gained 38lbs in 3 months last run.

 

[silverbackn]

That is impressive!

 

[Workout King]

When I'm bulking I pretty much only count my protein and make sure I get enough of it. Then ANYTHING is fair game
