I'm up 13 lbs as of this morning and still gaining. I'm hoping to hit my goal well before my original deadline of 12/31/17 but only time will tell.

Physique competitor is a total narcissist so that's a wash. Onto the next one!

My lifts haven't plateaued yet so that's good.

@Wretch: stop making me hungry :drool:



10k a day is what it takes to gain crazy fast while doing hard athletic training. I know of some NFL guys that ... wow, just wow. Like eating a turkey as one meal every day kind of wow. I've seen prime Shaq's snack prep before ... fml. 10k is nothing compared to the real big pigs, trust me. It's excessive but very do-able.


Alas, you can make the gains you want without even eating junk food. Junk food isn't bad just b/c it's empty calories: it's bad b/c it's toxic, and fat (what gets added if you randomly bulk) stores toxins. There is no set # of meals/snacks per day but I would say the way I did it was to essentially graze all day. I can recall this being pretty typical after school in grade 10, all within a 2h period:

4 bowls of cereal w/ milk
6 eggs, any style
2k calorie protein shake
4-8 hamburgers
1-2 steaks
a few potatoes or cobs of corn

That's not counting a full dinner that I would usually eat. That was a pretty typical routine, because I'd get home at maybe 6pm, and I'd need and need an hour to spare before working out from 9-11 most nights. And I'd probably have another2k+ calories protein shake pre-workout or intra-workout. Sometimes I'd bring 2L of orange juice with me for the workout. The idea was just to pack in the calories b/c I was a junior playing senior rugby. So that's what I would eat after school, and I would usually bring two lunches to school, or maybe go to subway and eat 1.5 feet of sub with a drink and a cookie.

If you want to gain a lot of weight fast it takes that kind of eating. In university, when I was crazy active, I did pigging out differently. Not including breakfast and lunch, I'd eat 2-3 slices of pizza, make 450-900 g pasta each day, and have my 72 wonton soup. Same basic theory but I could force the soup down while resting watching tv so I could hit the exercise bike later. I was played 2-4 hours of basketball every day at that point. Thing is, I was just maintaining 165 pounds lol.

So, stop thinking about how many meals and just worry about the calories in and out if you're bulking. Prep what you can, load everything else, and try to time things so you don't get indigestion or too much fatigue time when you need energy :)

what kind of program are you running? And good job mang, hows the bf% going?

I'm not really running anything strict. I just lift hard and eat everything lol! The bf% is still low AF, honestly I cant tell the difference in bf% but I'm 'filling out' a little bit. People are actually noticing without me saying anything so that's results right?! I just switch up the workout every time and put in some work.

There have been two days last week where I honestly thought that I over-trained. The day after those workouts I felt like I got my ass kicked and felt like I was going to either pass out or throw up all day.
