Gaining Weight

its bad for bulking because you gain to much fat. whats the point of gainign 10 pounds of fat for every pound of muscle. also you beign 160 is not irrelavant. If you knew basic nutrtion you wouldn’t be that pathetic in size. you also don’t know from experience obviously. so stop trying to act tough when you should be giving this kid informed information. How about the kid just does some “Squats and Milk”

I dont know about that. I made the mistake of buying a case before ever trying it. Needles to say, its still a full case minus one serving!

You are so laughable its ridiculous. Seriously man, before you post again, in any thread, about anything, I suggest you go and research it a bit more. Good luck!

why the hell do they always recomend eating rice in every bulk. i guess your right. i fucking hate rice. ill start eating pasta all the time. its hard for me to get in enough carbs but not if i can eat spaghetti . im not a food nazi. i just dont want to gain fat and have to cut and lose all my muscle.

i have read every article on this website that was worth reading. you have never bulked so what is your experience or knowledge?

just gaining weight or putting on muscle… for gaining eat 3 meals a day make sure one is right before you go to sleep and dont eat for a hour after ou wake up eat lots of carbs and junk food

for getting stronger and adding mass

20 rep squats 3 times a week trying to ad 5 pounds every work out eating until you feel sick or 5-6 meals a day with 40-50 grams of protein each meal and lots of milk dont do any cardio and get as much sleep as you can dont bother with takeing sups you can gain weight faster than any one on sups

one pasta isn’t good for you[/quote]

what in pasta is bad for you?

dont do 20 rep squats 3 times a week. do a 4 day split routine focus on compound movements with a couple isolations thrown in. eat like 9 meals a day fuck six meals thats for cutting. jsut be sickly full all day.

9 meals a day is definatley better

i thought it was a high gi carb i was wrong though.

WTF?? whatsmybodyfat and n3wb?? What the hell kind of advice are you throwing out there in the beginner threads? Hell you guys are obviously beginners yourselves.

Stop posting advice on subjects you obviously know [i]absolutely nothing[/i] about before you really screw people up! They come here for advice from actual smart people and not your rambling opinions based on the cover story of the latest Flex issue.

As for the flame war with PGA… quit while you are behind.

whats is wrong advice? besides the pasta thing. 9 meals a day is a great idea for bulking. its alot easier to fit 4000 clean calories in 9 meals then 6. whats wrong a 4 day split routine. If the kid wants to have big muscles like a bodybuilder its the best way. you obviously are dumb. please explain what was wrong with my suggestions?

Also the fact that you have been training for 9 years and weigh 20 pounds less than me and mostly likely with a higher body fat this means you are not a beginner but someone who is doing something wrong for a long time.

So why don’t you read some articles and apply them to your own life. i must be doing somethnig right if i have only been lifting for one year. you tell people there bulknig advice is wrogn but you your self can’t bulk

How do ask a respectable question and then follow it by calling me “dumb”? What kind of response are you trying to elicit?

Here’s a recap of the statements you made that I found to be useless:

This was covered.

Ummm… True to a point. It depends on the supplements. Protein is a supplement. Will it not “do” anything without food? I think it will.

Again this was covered. I’m just restating it to illustrate how hypocritical you are. You tell others to get educated before posting when you yourself are not educated.

Actually yes. Sugar has its benefits, especially PWO. Cake would also taste like shit without sugar and I love cake.

Why make yourself sound like a 12 year old? How are we supposed to take you seriously?

So weighing 160lbs makes his knowledge irrelevant? What does he need to weight before you would respect him? If I weighed 500lbs would you treat me like a god?

Not if you knew anything about bulking at all.

Again being 160lbs by itself is not “pathetic”. Being 160lbs and 25% BF is. There is a big distinction.

Again if you knew anything about anything you would know how stupid this sounds.

So because you have bulked we should listen to you? How do we know your bulk was “successful”? Lack of experience does not equal lack of knowledge.

You don’t have to bulk this way. And once and for all get a spell checker.

How do you know my body fat enough to make assumptions? And why would I want to weight more than you? Not everyone’s goals are the same. If my goal was to weigh more than you I could easily do it, but I don’t want to weigh that much.

Again you assume every single person on the planet wants to bulk up. My training and nutrition is on par with the best and I would put it up against yours any day, bulk or not. Can you say the same thing?

Just because you are gaining weight does not make you successful, even if you are keeping your body fat in check. Are you getting stronger? Are you hitting new PR’s? After only one measly year I doubt you have experienced anything but beginner gains.

what is the point of being 190 at 6". that isn’t even muscular at a very low body fat which i doubt yours is because you would state it in your profile. Are you gonig for strength? if your not gaining or losing weight how is your diet on par? staying the same at maintance is easy. I was wrong about the pasta part i realize that.

many of your other comments were petty.you say im imature and then you tell me to use a spell checker very mature yourself. sorry i spell some words wrong. what did i forget one e. thats pretty pathetic. So you have been working out for 9 years so when will you get your beginer gains? Every time i work out my lifts improve. I log everything. Are you going for strength whats your numbers look like?

also i read your blog. you defintatetly know how to bulk haha to 300 pounds. dont give bulking advice when you have done nothing but cut down from being a fattie. Why don’t you stop beign liek every other former fat boy bulk and don’t be scared of fat.

get in better shape and come talk like you know shit. you offered no suggestions jsut ways to put my posts down don’t be sad because you have no self esteem except on the internet tubby

Guys, i appreciate the advice and everything, but could we cut down on the flaming. I think you’re scaring everyone away :stuck_out_tongue: But, lots of people have unique workouts, and to each their own. I’m sure if they’ve devised their own routine they know what goals they’re going for and how to achieve them. Now, let’s put this energy that we were from flaming into some advice on how i could gain more weight. Thanks.

That’s a decent post and at least you refrained from the name calling, somewhat.

You still seem to think everyone has the same goals as you. That’s your biggest mistake. As for 6’-0" and 190- there are thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of guys with those exact stats that are probably 10x more “muscular” than you. Don’t make blanket statements you have know knowledge of.

As for the spell checker- that’s just a pet peeve of mine. If you aren’t even going to respect the idea that all you can present on here are words and then don’t even bother to spell them correctly, then I don’t have much respect for you.

This one was less impressive. Why the name-calling like this is junior high? Does that give you self-esteem? Do you think you calling me “tubby” has any effect on me whatsoever?

Also- Who says I’ve never bulked? My one blog entry is not the sum total of my life.

Seriously just eat more. And supplements are a decent way to get in those hard to get at calories. There are plenty of posts on here with recipes for 1000 calorie shakes that aren’t too expensive to put together. At your weight you can afford to eat just about anything to bulk. I doubt you would put on much fat unless you deep fried everything or finished off each day with an entire box of twinkies.

Eating at least 5 times a day is a must. Others have suggested 9. Who has time to eat 9 times a day? If you do great, but I barely can fit in 5 with my job, kids, gym, etc. They don’t pay me 6-figures to sit on my ass and eat all day, nor would many other companies.

Shug’s wrote an article called the “Quality Mass Diet”. Might be worth a read. It was geared towards FFB’s, but there might still be some good info there.

Hope this helps.

That doesn’t make sense. How do you know something is worth reading until you read it? You can’t read only worthwhile stuff by guessing. Something that may not seen worthwhile at the time may become worthwhile later.

Sounds like you’re limiting yourself. I for one haven’t read any article that wasn’t worthwhile in some way. Most of the stuff not worth reading is the flaming bullshit thrown back and forth between keyboard jockeys.
