LETSGROW!!!

In for the swoll patrol.

[Twolf03]

Heck ya!!!

Time to get HUGE

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

I’m in.

How much of a surplus are you aiming for?
Steady surplus or carb cycling?

[ChickenLittle]

Are you aiming to complete in a heavier weight class?

[Twolf03]

Eventually, yes. But more so trying to fill out my current weight class. I compete in the 148 class in powerlifting and 140 class in strongman.

Naturally I sit between 137-143. Most will cut 10-120lbs to my weight class and compete at higher weights. So, goal is to get and stay in the 150s for now to build more strength and higher weight and see how I do with a water cut. Once I achieve that, then I will likely move into middle weight and keep growing a little more

[Twolf03]

Currently not carb cycle, but may in another phase. Goal is steady surplus and just making new dietary changes (ie… my ass needs to eat more). But, trying to be mindful of the surplus to do it a little cleaner than what Id normally do (I love me lucky charms, cookies and icecream— but thats not too great for performance :P).

So, slow gradual increases. Basically adding in 1-2 extra meals/larger snacks than I normally do then will slowly increase from there.

The first time I focused on putting on weight, I had to set an alarm 2x in the middle of the night to get up and eat food and drink weight gainer. Not trying to do that this time. Just increasing calories, volume, and duration of eating for now.
