First of all, the bulking diets I have are really not a lot of food in general. If you are used to eating very little, it may seem overwhelming at first, but after about 2 weeks of eating increased an quantity of food you will definitely be able to handle more and more. It's all about properly getting your body accustomed to a new diet. The more you eat and the more frequently, the hungrier you end up getting because of increased basal metabolism.

edit:

also you can try this supplement called Controlled Labs - Black Hole. It is an appetite enhancer. I used to have a really bad appetite like you, but after my first few years of initial training, I am like a black hole right now, without taking any appetite enhancers. I can seriously eat anything and everything in sight - eating competitions are no problem. But that supplement will definitely help you get there faster.

30-40g each meal. For morning make sure you get approx 15 simple and 15-25 complex. For PWO, get more like 25-30 simple, complex is not necessary at that point.

it's perfectly OK...now you know =)

DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is one major way to know if your workouts are tearing muscle fibers in sufficient quantities. There is a possibility you are also overtraining, can you please post me your regular strength training routine?

Next, your diet may very well need adjustment - please follow my previous post to you which explains the changes to make on that account.

Hey there.

First of all, I like to drink about 8-12 oz of 100% pure grape juice with 5g of creatine immediately post workout. This is the most effective approach to start with. Then, approx 15-20 minutes later I take in a normal shake with approximately 30g of waxy maize. 1 hour later I eat my regular PWO meal which is usually chicken breast, sweet potato, and broccoli.

As of now this is my routine

Mon - Chest/Tri
Incline Bench - 3 Sets 10-12 Reps , 6-8 , 6-8 (Last 2 Failure)
Flat flies - 2 Sets 10-12 , 6-8 Last to extreme fail
Bench Press - 5 Sets 6 , 4 , 4 , 1-4, 1-4 (Last 2 failure)
Incline Flies - 3 Sets 10-12 , 6-8 , 6-8
Skull Crushers - 4 Sets 10-12,6-8,6-8,6-8

Tuesday - Back/Bi

Pullups/Pulldowns 4 Sets 10-12 8 , 6 , 4
Wide Grip Rows 3 Sets 10-12 , 6 -8 , 6-8
SL DL 6 Sets 8, 6 , 4 , 1-4x 3
Dumbell Rows 4 Sets 8 , 6 x 3
Concentration Curls 4 Sets 10 - 12 , 6-8 x 3

Wed - Rest

Thursday - Shoulders

Lateral Flies 4 Reps , 10-12 , 6-8 x 3
BB Shrugs 6 Sets 10x6
Sitting Military Press 5 Sets 10-12, 6, 4, 1-4x2
Bentover Flies 4 Sets 10-12 , 6-8x3

Friday - Legs
Leg Press 4 Sets 10-12 , 8 ,6x2
Leg Extensions 3 Sets 10-12 , 6-8x2
Seated Calf Raises 3 Sets , 10-12 , 6-8x2 (My gym does not have this)
Widestance Squat 6 Sets 10-12 , 6 , 4 , 1-4 x 3
Leg Curls Sets 3 10-12 , 6-8x2
Calf raises Sets 3 10-12 , 6-8x2

Sat+Sun = Rest

Everything is basically to failure on the last 2 sets.

Everything seems to be in order....try also to do chest/bis and back/tris. That configuration alone can make quite a difference.

Give the diet a shot, and make that small change, and get back to me in a month and let me know how it's going.

Do you ever suggest that I take creatine somewhere down the road?

to get to 200 pounds for the marines ik i need to do alot of cardio too

thanks again.
