Good deal. What is your training like?

At 6'0 and 170 lbs and 19 years old the LAST thing I would do is go on caloric deficit.

Definitely want to be at caloric surplus, but what is your exercise program?

Find a passion for eating and don't skip meals. Think of food differently. It is the fuel for your body.

I'm doing a 5 day split (3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off). 4-5 sets in rep ranges of 10-12. Add weight and more sets over time to keep going.

Hey thanks for the comment. Anyone can do this brotha! Just do the right things, consistently, for a long enough period of time to see the result. Not sure what happened to my video above. But this shows how far I have come... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRbTdT9RGWA

The carb powders in weight gainers (maltodextrine et al) are super cheap of bought in bulk seperately.

Wow! @terizius has a nice success story website going of MFP members. He just put published my original transformation if anyone wants to see how and WHY I got started. Robert Broussard - 6 Month Transformation [Link] .

Honestly just enjoy the lifestyle...

Pick up the weight. And then put it down. And just keep doing this...and the hunger will come...your muscles will grow...and you will gain muscle mass...which I assume is the type of weight that you want gain.

False, I've never posed nude.

Competition dieting is no joke...also your training for what the judges are looking for...dem glutes! Huge fan of bikini contest by the way...best of luck. You'll learn a lot about yourself if you do it right.

Deep thinker...or wondering why camera is in face.
