I totally understand the fear factor of bulking after losing the weight. I lost 130lbs and it really messed with my mind when I started to bulk. I found, like you that I definitely look and feel better heavier. I just finished my first ever bulk and put on almost 30lbs and my waist measurements never moved so that's a win…

Nice work, keep it up

That's a great start, again watch your macros ensure you are getting enough of each. I can tell you what mine were but we are all different so you will need to experiment with what works for you. Let your body tell you what it needs as far as calories. Not gaining, increase calories, gaining fast and too much fat, decrease…

Congrats on the weight loss, I too lost over 100 lbs before I decided to bulk, 320 down to 185. If you don't want to put on a bunch of fat it will take time. I went from 1600 -> 2300 -> 2800 -> 3300 -->3800+ but over a total of 7 months. Every time I quit gaining and lost weight I would recalculate my TDEE and adjust…

I don't know all your stats but it doesn't sound excessive at all. A quick fix could be PB or Coconut oil to up to cals without taking up a lot of space
-
Same here, cant sleep if my feet are covered, they are always sticking out the bottom lol
-
As you gain your TDEE increases as well so you need to make adjustments as you move up.
-
Any gym that has lots of free weights and squat racks and doesn't frown on you for lifting heavy.

I do mine pretty simple. 1 tbs peanut or almond butter, 1 scoop of protein powder, mix it together. I have a little protein shake left over from the gym maybe 1 tsp and add that. Mix it all together and form into a cookie shape or bar shap. The freeze for 20 mins to hour.

Get you diet in check and eat. Hit the gym and follow some of the beginner routines for building strength ie SL5X5 to build your foundation. I am not sure if I mentioned it or not......EAT

Another one to look at that is very similar to PHUL is Layne Nortons PHAT program. I just finished 20 weeks on it and did quite well.

I have been bulking since May of this year after losing 130ish lbs. I have added 30lbs in this time and happy with the results. If you want to minimize (not eliminate) fat gain, make your gains slower. Find you maintenance calories currently, add 250-500 cals to it and monitor. If your gaining and not gaining much fat then…

I am currently bulking and lifting 2 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off right now and taking the 2 days as true rest days. This will change when I cut.
-
2 mins? I would hope that's a typo. Regardless if you feel you could do more then do more
-
This as a start

I second Current Designs or Wilderness Systems. I personally have a Seaward Kayak, Guide 17 for ocean kayaking, They are an awesome kayak but depending on you situation can be a bit pricey. They do ship all over so they can be option and have smaller kayaks as well.
-
BBQ is the way to go, I have found the fridge and a cooler to keep things refrigerated. Also some plastic totes for the things that don't need refrigeration.
-
I have days like that as well but I go anyways and as soon as I start I have the energy and the drive back. As others have said don't go home first if you do it is too easy to stay home and not go. It gets easier once it is a habit

A few - Boobs - Eyes - Accent

My two cents here if you buy into it or not, split some of those meals up eat 5 times during the day. I agree some potato or yams instead of the oats, at some red meat.
-
At least add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter to those rice cakes

^^^^^^This^^^^^^

I am eating a lot right now as I am bulking, 3750 cals, 328g carb, 323g protein, and 132g fat. Keep in mind this is for me, my goals, and my body. You will be different than this. Find a TDEE calculator on line and find your maintenance level, and build off of that. See how your body responds to different cals and macros.…

I think you will find dumbells somewhat limiting on your squats. In my opinion find a gym with squat racks, however if that is not an option I would use the smith machine noting that it is not ideal
-
I have a few I like, Diesel New Zealand whey, Allmax Isoflex, and Magnum Quattro.

I have shoulder issues myself and while not the wisest thing I work through them and if it hurt I DONT do it. However other than landmine presses another press I found works great and the shoulders don't hurt is hex presses.
