I'm 6'4'' and 215 pounds, im pretty lean, I can see my top abs showing. However I feel very very skinny, despite being able to deadlift 365, bench 245, squat 285, and OHP 165.

I have put on 15 pounds this year body building and have been working out for 13 months now.  My BMI is 26.2 which is technically overweight, but due to muscle >>> fat I look tiny compared to people <6 foot.

I want to be 245, which is only 30 pounds. I feel that I could gain 30 pounds this year if I eat dirty (I eat clean as fuck currently). This will put me at a BMI of 30, do you think I will be bulky at 6'4'' and 245?

Rambled a lot, questions, comments, rage welcome!!


I'm 6'5 240 and people definitely call me big. Trying to lose some weight to get down to 225 or so. You would definitely be considered big at 240, but don't think you can gain 30 lbs of muscle in a year lol.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. 6'3", 212lbs, but I look more lean than I do beefy.

The amount of calories it would take to get to and maintain 240 lbs is ridiculous. My current target is 220, which is the heaviest I will have ever been.

I think it is more natural to put on weight during the fall so I'm really going to push it these next few months.

Be happy with your situation...I'm 6'4 190 lbs and I still have an inch of fat everywhere...mad rolls on my chest when I crouch. I'm trying to cut to figure out what the hell my lean mass is. Bulking just adds a shitload of fat to my chest.

One word. Eat.

Not dirty, not freakishly healthy, just get carbs/calories in your body that don't consist of greasy fast-food burgers and taco's.  Lots of protein filled choices like chicken breast and/or fish, along side that eat pasta, rice or potatoes.

Think about how much you eat on a daily basis now (which is healthy) and double that!  For more support, take protein shakes a few times a day but time them correctly.

What helped me bulk quickly:
1. Always making sure I took a protein shake immediately after working out.
2. Eating a big ole 3-4 egg fried egg sandwich before bed.
3. Instead of eating 5-6-7 small meals a day, try eating 3 big meals a day with one snack before bed.
4. Don't workout after not eating for 2+ hours.  I always would eat, digest for 30-45 minutes then head to the gym.  You'll basically burn the food off and not body weight is how I look at it.

Oh and eggs.  Lots of eggs.

(Keep in mind this is just my advice, not a professional opinion)

Too add:

You are a big boy, kinda like me.  I'm 6 foot 9 and 268 pounds right now.  We need more than most "normal" stature males.  It sucks and you probably have a high metabolism as well.  Pack on the food brotha.


thats very important because its so much brosciene just pulled out of the arse, no offense
