      Waldo's photos of his bulking and transformations are second to none! Brilliant articles here, all you need.

      Thank you so much. I needed this. Yet, I still don't know if I'm ready. I don't have an accurate body fat % and fear I'm still too fat. At the same time, I'm starting to feel like I'm spinning my wheels and have used up all my noobie juice.

      After all this time and still no word from the mods, I'll go ahead and put my vote in for it to be pinned.

      This was extremely helpful, thank you for sharing. I'm not quite at the point to begin bulking yet, but I know where I'll be turning to for info once I am.

      Thank you for this incredible thread, it's answered so many, or rather, all the questions I had about bulking. :D

      The WAVES! Haha that cleared up on why I'm currently stuck! Great read.

      Great read. Makes me think I should consider bulking. I have been riding the newbie gains train and figured a bulk would be more effective after the gains are over. Now not too sure.

      I am slightly confused... For a male you recommend 400-500 Calories. My breakfast consists of more than that. How do I survive off such a small caloric intake when I'm 24 and working in construction? Just some perspective too, I'm 6'3 and 160 lbs with a metabolism like a laser chamber.

      That's a surplus not a total. If that's what you got then you should really reread.
