Gotta Vent!

[donescobar2000]

Just had to say that bulking is not easy. Eating all this food is knucking futs. *sighs*

 

[DaMayor]

You're kidding, right?

I thought Bulking was the fun part!

 

[donescobar2000]

Well its my first bulk so im not used to eating all this shyt.

 

[plouffe]

same here man, just think... YAY FOOD IM GONNA GET BIG. that's what i do

 

[ironMan0929]

how much?

how many cals are you taking in each day?

 

[donescobar2000]

2800 cals.

 

[J'Bo]

2800 how much do you weigh? damn i am at 2500 cals

 

[Pepper]

I'm starving my ass of and I come here and read someone bitching about having to eat all this food

I guess the next thread is going to be someone complaining about getting too much oral sex.

 

[Triple Threat]

There's no such thing as too much oral sex.

 

[ironMan0929]

too little?

is it me, or does 2800 seem like too little to bulk? Im in no way an expert, but i just started my first bulk and basically ever calculation i do sets my bulk cal requirement at 3200-3300. Im 24, ~162lbs. Am i too high?

 

[J'Bo]

yes 2800 is not alot to bulk on...i am a chick and 150lbs and take in 2500 and still losing bf%

 

[Jodi]

It depends on your metabolism. Not just how much you weigh.

 

[J'Bo]

yah your right i geuss his metabolism is really slow.

thanks for letting me know Jodi.

 

[donescobar2000]

Im upping my cals slowly. I'm testing the waters also to see what makes me gain weight. As of this morning I weigh 179.

 

[J'Bo]

sounds like a good plan
i knew that your metabollism wasnt too slow cause you look like you have some good muscle mass.
keep at it and eating will become really pleasurable

 

[Flex]

i eat like 2500 cals for each meal. don't worry aobut upping your cals too high bro. if your bulking, you gotta eat pal.

 

[donescobar2000]

Mos Def!!!!

 

[donescobar2000]

Do you guys have cheat meals while bulking?

 

[ironMan0929]

oohh.. good question.. somebody please say yes. im finding myself more strict bulking then i was cutting

 

[donescobar2000]

I find myself being more strict, but then again it is the off season. But then there is fat gain.

 

[Jodi]

You should limit your cheat meals. Bulking doesn't mean free for all. You have to be careful of gaining too much fat and if you just let loose, sure you'll gain muscle but a hell of alot of fat to go with it. Then your cut is going to take alot longer than wanted. I'm on a clean bulk and will have the occasional cheat meal but nothing too obsurd.

Dones - due to your history of obesity, I would say you need to be careful with your metabolism. You've been cutting for many years and even though you have mass it doesn't mean you have a screaming metabolism. Don't go all out, be careful and increase as needed.

 

[J'Bo]

i cheat once a week for one hour...and try not to cheat anyother times...if i do it is after a workout.

 

[Flex]

dude, from the looks of you, i wouldnt worry about a little fat.

if you're gonna bulk, EAT! I eat every 2 hours, as much as i can.

you dont look like you have a problem with fat so just eat big bro. besides, people like us with fast metabs. can always lose it no prob.

dont worry about a cheat meal man. Dont make it an every-meal habit (to eat shitty food all day everyday). Just eat a ton of clean food, then when its neccessary, eat a cheat meal....

True that is why I taking it slow. I find it weird because I think I am still shedding. my pants seem bigger.

I forgot about your history, Don. I agree with Jodi, you're doing the right thing by keeping it clean and increasing your cals conservatively.
Actually, as I recall, I believe I did my share of "venting" when trying to increase my cals/re-set my metabolism.

Keep at it, man!

 

[donescobar2000]

Thanks Bro.

I never forget these things

That's why I always try to have the facts before making suggestions
