    progress has stoped

    Im bulking right now and have been for about a month now. i seemed to have hit a wall.... i think. ive went from 148lbs to 152lbs since ive started bulking. my body weight fluctuates(cant spell ) between 152lbs-154lbs but wont seem to budge from there. Should i increase the amount of calories im eating or could something else be wrong?

    Switch up everything.
    How many cals are you eating now? You could even just try switching up your macronutrients. Switch up your reps/sets too, i find that helps me get out of a rut

    What is your caloric intake? If you aren't gaining weight you need to increase your cals. How long has it been since you stopped gaining weight? It's hard to know whether or not you are gaining weight in a short time period.

    Your diet will set you free.

    I hate exercise, I love training.

    put more in your protein shake.ie. mix with whole milk, milk powder, weight gain powder, ice cream, bananas, a couple of raw eggs e.t.c. you dont have to put everything in if you dont want to, but use your imagination and you can come up with some great shakes with loads of good calories and protein. make every morning and drink throughout the day between meals.
