Thanks for the posts SS.
Great story! Last bulk I did was with peanut butter sandwiches and I was buying 1kg pots at a time. I had to use white bread as the other stuff was making me sick. It was so intense I even had a point in a dream where I ate a peanut butter sandwich.
Worked though! Being in my late thirties I also took on share of belly fat, but that is part of the game. Doing this again after the summer after a cut to see how the rebound effect will work.

Here’s a quick story.
There was a time at the Old Westside gym where I couldn’t gain weight to save my fucking life.
There was this dude who trained there who could just put on weight like fucking magic. He’d go from 198 to 308 and then to 275 and back down to 198. And he was never fat. It was amazing.
I finally asked him one day how he did it.
“You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I’ll fill you in.”
Now remember, we’re at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious shit if we have to go outside, I thought.
So we get outside and he starts talking.
“For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don’t care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that shit down and eat. That’s your breakfast.”
At this point I’m thinking this guy is nuts. But he’s completely serious.
“For lunch you’re gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don’t want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bullshit. I don’t care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can’t let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter.”
“For dinner you’re gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don’t like sardines, don’t put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that fucker up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that shit over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the shit out of it.”
“Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that fucker. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals.”
This guy is in a zen-like state when he’s talking about this.
“Now you’re on the clock,” he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you’re full. Don’t listen to that shit. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I’m telling you now, you’re going to get three or four pieces in and you’re gonna want to quit. You fucking can’t quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.
And if you can’t finish it, don’t you ever come back to me and tell me you can’t gain weight. 'Cause I’m gonna tell you that you don’t give a fuck about getting bigger and you don’t care how much you lift!"
Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn’t get much fatter. One of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, though.[/quote]
That is a fucking great story. Love it

I wasn’t aware that being 200-205 was a big deal on this site. Why hasn’t anyone made me a “Septimum, How Do You Train” thread? (Sarcasm)[/quote]
Depends on your level of leanness and if you’re a natty or not.
5’10 natty @ 205 contest weight is insane. Maxing out genetic potential with those stats.
opens can of worms

I don’t think that is a very controversial statement. I think a more controversial statement would have been something along the lines of stating at what point you start to be considered big. Is it appearance, lean body mass at a certain height, etc…?

I did the oreos last night. Apart from the 4 cookies I gave my wife, I put down the rest of the bag of double stuff oreos. It wasn’t too bad. The last 5 cookies or so was tough, but you just have to not think about it. And you have to drink milk when you do this. Or some liquid, I didn’t at first and after the first row it feels like you are trying to plaster the inside of your mouth with oreo.
Surprisingly I didn’t feel like total shit after either. Been awhile since I’ve eaten that much sugar(don’t usually have much of a sweet tooth). I had the oreos around 8 or so and then had a MAG-10 before bed at about 10:30 and felt fine.
