For ladies that bulk easily.

I want to do an experiment. It'll take 6-8 weeks....

Take pictures, front, back, side.

Take measurements, waist, thighs, bust, hips, biceps, weight.

Calculate your TDEE using this site:

http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator

Subtract 15% from that. Enter that as your calorie goal in MFP. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.75. Try to eat that number in grams of protein every day. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.33. Eat that at least that in grams of fat every day.

Now, this will require a gym, or heavy lifting equipment at home, but do this routine, to the letter, for 6-8 weeks:

THEN after your 6-8 weeks, take a week off of lifting (this is called a de-load). Repeat your pictures, measurements and weight and come back and show us.

    I wish that my wife bulked easily. It takes forever, and I have a hard time not bulking before she does.

    Reminding myself to post here Friday, when I finish my 12th week of Stronglifts, eating at or near maintenance. And then a week after Friday.

    Can everyone please play nice so this thread is still around next Friday? :bigsmile:

    Have I missed something? TDEE -15% is a deficit. You cannot bulk on a deficit.

    Or are you talking about eating back exercise cals?

    I think I've missed something.

    Funny! 1.5 is great!!

    Subtract 15% from that. Enter that as your calorie goal in MFP. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.75. Try to eat that number in grams of protein every day. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.33. Eat that at least that in grams of fat every day.

    You did fantastic! 1.5% is excellent progress.

    A deload is not taking a week off either. When you deload you reduce the amount of weight and volume for that particular cycle.

    You dropped a 1.5% of BODYFAT in one week and you're complaining?

    She's pointing out that it isn't the weight lifting but the lack of deficit that causes these women to blow up like puffed fish (of so they say) if they so much as look at a non-pink weight.

    Thanks. I thought I'd missed the whole point and I was right lol.

    Might go and have something to eat now so my brain starts working.

    My point is that I will not believe a woman who says she bulks easily unless she has done something like this and I can see evidence of significant muscle gain in the measurements and pictures.
