  • If your looking for good fitting t-shirts check out next level apparel. I have a problem with t-shirts. Larges are normally to small and extra large is normally a blanket on me. The next level shirts have a tapered athletic fit. I am able to wear a XL and it fits nicely in the arms and waist. I'm 6ft 230lbs with a 44"…

  • Just finished up a 7 month bulk running 531 boring but big. 190lbs to 230lbs bodyweight Squat 355 to 405 Deadlift 420 to 470 Bench 305 to 330 Military press 180 to 205 Now I'm going to focus on cutting using 531 bodybuilder template as it has a little more volume.

  • 531 is an amazing routine. I have ran the boring but big template twice and now I'm trying the bodybuilder template.

  • Have tried foam rolling daily and Epson salt baths? I know for me it tends to help alleviate my knee pain. My knees tend to very inflamed and cause very sharp pains when bending 90 degrees or more. I found foam rolling, stretching and Epson salt baths to help allot! Also some KT tape on certain joints can help.

  • Get on a strength program like 531 or starting strength. Use a calculator from a bodybuilding site to figure out your calorie needs weight gain. Eat at least 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. Try to get 2 grams of carbs per lb of bodyweight. Rest in healthy fats. The first couple lbs come on fast when your starting…

  • Yup your right I forgot she added the additional 500 to the formula. Regardless of what formula you use it won't matter if he doesn't know how much he is currently eating. Figure your baseline add 500.

  • Also depends on how much muscle mass you carry. The more muscle the more calories you burn throughout the day.

  • Either your math is way off or you weigh 194lbs. Multiply by 17 for someone is right to gain weight. It's not exact but a good starting point.
    in How to increase 2 times more hunger Comment by hardyd85 May 2016
  • Multiply by 17 is right but your not adding 500 on top of that. It is not an exact but a place to start. I weigh 210 and multiply by 17 I get 3570 which is about right for me to gain. The number you multiply varies depending on your activity levels. It is a good place to start.

  • Upping your calories by 500 should be relatively easy to do. An extra scoop of peanut butter here and there can do it. As far as how much to eat it varies depending on weight and age. I usually eat 3000 to maintain. So for me to gain I need at least 3500. Figure out how much your eating now and increase by 500.

  • Using the scale is ok but using the mirror and a tape measure will give you a better indicator. Your weight can fluctuate about 5 lbs or so pretty easily. It can also be muscle gain. Writing down your measurements will help you stay motivated. I would weigh yourself once or twice a week. I usually do in the morning.

  • Not once did I say it could not be fitted into your diet. The above post was asking if a calorie is a calorie. I agreed it is. However you will usually be able to have MORE FILLING food eating non junk food. Go back and read, not once did I say she couldn't have one. Obviously I didn't spell it out and draw it up in crayon…

  • Some glad I'm a male and can eat 2500 calories and lose weight. 1400 calories is pretty close to my breakfest during my bulk. Lol

  • Right because people will only eat 1 oreo. If they did they wouldn't be on here trying to lose weight.
    in Is a calorie a calorie? Comment by hardyd85 May 2016
  • Point was you will be able to more food if it is non junk food. More food per calorie vs junk. Depends if we're talking regular orders or double stuff.
    in Is a calorie a calorie? Comment by hardyd85 May 2016
  • You can eat whatever you want to lose weight as long as you are burning more than your eating. Problem is the amount of junk food you can eat per calorie vs real food per calorie will have you wanting more food. Just look at an oreo for example. Those things are likely 200 calories for 1 cookie. If your only eating 1200…

  • Not sure what your carb intake is but you can try alternating your carbs. Something like 100grams Monday, 75 grams tuesday, 50 Wednesday, 25 Thursday. The last day bump the carbs up to 150 or so. There are a bunch of protocols for carb cycling that tends to do the trick if your stuck. If your also going on a low carb day…
