    What did you do on the calories increase per this discussion?

    We can't arbitrarily tell you how many calories to bulk.. You can do a clean or dirty. Since fat gain is inevitably an issue for you, so the clean bulk (200 - 250)? If you truly truly want to build muscle as a woman, have to take the good with the bad and the bad is fat gain its gonna happen. The good, a structured lifting program and not a homemade one is gonna allow you to reap results.

    If you can't get past fat gain and you want some slower progress, recomp at maintenance calories. You still need a structured lifting program.

    And a structured lifting program is not gonna have you working out 2 times a day 6 days a week. There really is no need for this type of working out. I could go on about how unnecessary it is and what you will potentially do to your body, hormones etc.. but no need to.

    Yeah, if I went into everything about stress response I'd be rehashing my neuroscience thesis again and that's pain I don't need lol!

    The main thing you're going to do by increasing your workouts that much is increase your hunger, fatigue, and chance for injury. Do not recommend.
