Bulking / Off Days--What To Do
I'm 6'1" tall. and will 52 years old on 9/17. I'm currently on gear and have gone up in weight from 254 lbs on 8/26/04 to 271 lbs today. Although i want to get up to between 290-300 lbs and then cut, my question is should i continue to eat approx 3500-4000 cals, 350 grams of protein on the days I don't work out.
My weight training workouts are approx 1 hr long 5 days a week w/ 4 days of 20 min cardio. I want to gain the weight but probably not a little over a lb a day.

I was eating 4700cals on my bulk. 9cups cooked rice, 6chicken breasts, and a plethora of other foods. I know how you feel.. I actually had to force feed myself. Sometimes I would skip a meal because I couldnt take it, but I was being a pussy. Just keep at it, you'll be fine.

increasing your fat intake is a good way to increase cals with out adding a lot of volume to the food intake...I would get around 30% cals from good fats...

Usually for me, when dieting, on the days off my meals are the same except I just don't have a post workout shake.
