Plus I’ll forever be a fat kunt at heart and nothing could ever change that.
I have been trying to break 80kg since February. Apparently I just suck at eating
Same! Honestly I dont think I could ever have the willpower to get shredded, my appetite is endless and seems to grow each week. My appetitie at 93kg is insanity, it’s like the more weight I put on the more food I have to eat to gain even more weight but I get even hungrier. A whole pizza to me is the equivalent of one piece of bread lol
God damn! What foods do you normally eat? If you make it taste good it’s certainly easier
Fatty beef mince, rice, oats, casein protein, bananas, eggplant, red beans, blueberries and peanut butter are my Staples. My issue is just consistently getting my meals in if I’m being honest, my organisation sucks.
I also eat a fuck-ton of sushi and burritos
This helped me a ton. Drop your portion sizes fairly low and eat more meals in the day. It’s way easier to get your calories up that way instead of eating big meals, it also made me feel wayyy better. Also don’t be afraid to eat leaner meats while bulking and get your fats from other sources. I’ve consistently ate chicken and eggs or chicken and cheese with rice and veggies.
I was stuck at 155lbs for almost 6 months, it wasn’t till I started being less strict about how clean my diet was that I started gaining weight. My 2 main “dirty bulk” things that helped me gain 10lbs in 8 weeks: drinking Gatorade powder mixed with juice crystals while I trained (tasted amazing, 600 calories in a litre of juice) and eating a doughnut before every heavy training session
i am right at 90kg myself
Yah that’s a pretty good idea, right now I’m basically eating 1-2 huge meals and 2-3 smaller “normal” sized meals per day
Well, I nearly threw up trying to finish my breakfast today. #gaintrain?
Good!
that’s how you know you’re gaining weight…every meal you eat needs to be finished. you should also feel uncomfortable at the end of the meal.
fun fact: i’ve puked multiple times simply from stuffing my face with inordinate amounts of food. most recently, this happened about 3 weeks ago. needless to say, i puked and then finished eating.
7/21/19- Thoughts before my next big phase of training.
My mindset has never felt this good in training, which feels like a double edged sword because I have to upkeep this if any mistakes happen (Which more than likely they will) but on the positive side I’m ready to smash some weights.
No matter how many times I tell myself numbers don’t matter 2 big milestones for me will be 500+ on deadlift and 300+ on overhead. Right now I feel like I could smash 500 on deadlift and 300 overhead feels just around the corner. Really excited to see what training will bring on.
Haven’t tracked many sessions this week. Everything is light. One thing that stood out to me this week though was how stable and strong my core feels. Efficiency and force transfer feels fantastic without a belt and I’m excited to see what force transfer will be like with a belt for some of my lifts. I touched a bit on log and did some 30sec rest doubles, no supportive gear.
160lbs/72kg felt like an empty log. I barely had to drop under for my jerks.
Deadlifts at 4 plates last week moved like 3 plates. Things aren’t just moving in the right direction right now they are flying there. All at a lighter bodyweight too. I believe training is going to get much, much more interesting in the next few months and years.
