Do you ever smoke weed? Im bulking right now and weed makes it so much easier. Most days its easy anyways for me as I'm just enjoying all the shit I couldn't have on my cut (i was doing low carb), but on days where I struggle to eat, weed helps a lot.
or just drink a lot of mass gainer shakes.
I've seen people from high school who have no idea who I am. It's crazy. It's also crazy as I'm always extra harder on myself that I'm too fat. I get all Falling Edge like at the gym and feel small around the other guys![]()
I try to avoid recreational drugs in general but yea I think I'll start looking for a good protein shake.
Why does eating have to be so hard guys? I just can't shove six meals down my throat each day. I think I might try that milk diet that was being discussed in the earlier pages.
#4 Fasted walks in the morning
Set your alarm and get up a bit earlier than usual to hit a brisk walk on an empty stomach. This one is counterintuitive to most looking to get huge, but will stimulate your appetite all day like nothing else short of Equipoise. Ive challenged the non believers with this one for over two years now, and never had anyone report that they did not notice a change in appetite.
This guy has the added benefit of keeping you in some semblance of physical condition if you are taking the fast track to fat fuck route, and ditching all conditioning work/ cardio (a practice I highly recommend AGAINST when mass gaining).
Oh I remember, Edge. What a fool I was.
Here I am on my first day of high school. Exciting! Ladies love the flub.
Lol pathetic. So I lost weight going into college and all. But then I was time to put on muscle. I'm 26 now.
FallingEdge, how long have you been lifting? What are your stats now?
Okay guys, I'm a bit cramped for time so I can't really make it to the gym. What can I do with an EZ bar, dumbbells that go up to 90, and a multi-use pullup bar? I posted this earlier but no one responded, hoping to get some responses now.
Regarding bulking, is there a good rule of thumb for how many kcal/day to aim for with regards to physical activity and BMR?
Thanks![]()

That's quite the timeline. Looking good.

So I think I may be lactose intolerant.
What do I replace milk with? It was supposed to be a large chunk of my calories
Multiply your BMR by how much energy you expend on a daily basis, be honest and take a guess.
1.2 = Sedentary (Desk job, and Little Formal Exercise)
1.3-1.4 = Lightly Active (Light daily activity AND light exercise 1-3 days a week)
1.5-1.6 = Moderately Active (Moderately daily Activity & Moderate exercise 3-5 days a week)
1.7-1.8 = Very Active (Physically demanding lifestyle & Hard exercise 6-7 days a week)
1.9-2.2 = Extremely Active (Athlete in ENDURANCE training or VERY HARD physical job)
Then take the total of BMR + daily expenditure and find 20%, add that 20% on and thats how many calories you should eat bulking.
I do Greyskull LP with farmer walks 3 times a week but I walk to and from classes at school and sit on my ass most of the time at home.
Which category would I fit under?
In other news, I hit 100kg squats 3x5 today. Just about 1.42xBW.
Eating a lot more before lifting is massively improving all my lifts.
BMR is just an indicator. You should only use it as a guideline.
Try using sedentary to start with and monitor your weight for two weeks.
If your weight stays the same, then you've found your maintenance calories. If it goes down, then you know you're eating less than your maintenance calories. If it goes up, then you know you're eating above your maintenance.
Keep changing the modifier until you find your maintenance calories.
Once you've calculated your maintenance, you can work out how many calories you need to eat to lose weight, gain weight or maintain weight. Add +500~ calories daily to your maintenance to bulk and subtract -500~ to cut.
Personally, I lift 3 times a week and do yoga 2 times a week. I work at home and spend most of my day sitting on my ass. My physical activity modifier varies from 1.2-1.4x depending on how active I've been on a particular day.
Thanks for the explanation. I weight ~70kg at 5' 4'' now. I've been bulking for about 5 months now with a few breaks in between. Been eating around 2900 calories and have been steadily gaining.
1kg in about 2 weeks?
There quite expensive. Dry blend 100g per oats, 2x scoops of protein powder, quarter gallon of milk and a banana and blend again.
Do that twice a day and you won't have to eat that much at all to get to your macros. It also has more protein + carbs per serving than those weight gainer shakes too.
My first concoction (protein shake) actually tastes pretty good, but the little pieces of oat make it difficult to go down.
It's been a crazy journey to say the least
Did you ever get my PM?
Just have to brag about my fiancé. She recently hit two PRs. 125 x5 on squats and 105 x5 on deadlifts. She's 5'4, 109 pounds. The couple that lifts together sticks together.
There is nothing sexier than watching a girl squat at the gym. You sir are a lucky man.
Other guys must feel the same because she gets something goofy said to her almost every time.
"Oh you should wear gloves"
"Oh you should use the roll foam"
"Oh you should stand on a plate (wtf?)"
One guy even asked her a math problem, because she was wearing her glasses and he "assumed she was smart"

Blend blend blend.
Hey guys. I feel pretty discouraged today. I pretty much have to give up squatting because I'm just not flexible at all. I've been doing stretches and squat holds for like the past hour. I'm so inflexible that I can't touch my toes and i can't even keep myself up during squat holds without being back against a wall. I was squatting three times a week but in a smith machine but I never knew how much it was stabilizing the weight. Now I'm not sure how to progress with the squat.

Not to be rude, but I can't touch my toes and can squat just fine. Not sure how that's a requirement.
