Hey I had the same issue when I first began bulking. I began taking 2 different bulking proteins with high calories. One was optimum nutrition 1250 calories for one serving. Their instructions were over exaggerated and wanted you to consume 2-3 a day. No room for actual food. Then I switched to GNC performance pro, high…

Thanks, I'll have to look back at my posts. I may have missed that phat/Phull. Thanks again for always providing responses.

There's too much damn information on the web, not sure which has correct info and which doesn't now a days.. so many just want to post blogs for ad revenue. So what your saying is is should not eat in a caloric surplus?

Thanks I'll check it out! Any specific reason why this over others?

Sounds good bud, I sure will.. I live in the desert too 120 degrees in my garage working out. You would think I would be drinking more right? Alright thanks for your time responding.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight. I will checkout the article bud.

I guess the dr it is.. I'll have to get blood work done to verify all is good. Thanks!

Thanks monohyderate it is.

I'll check out that website.. I am in the process of bulking so it may be a good alternative for me at the moment until I go back to maintenance. For the water thing, that was my main concern as I dont drink much water through out the day. I drink a little under a gallon when working out.. and on my rest days maybe about…

I will look into gold standard thanks. I see studies on monohyderate, nothing on HCL.. I guess I'll be taking this HCL back.

Got it thanks. The dr it is :( lol

Hey thanks.. ya I don't trust gnc reps.. they work on commission. I try to avoid following their advice as I feel they sell what's in their best interest

Hey thanks for the share. This article recommends creatine monohyderate Thanks for the share. This article is recommending creatine monohydrate, the girl at GNC sold me Creatine HCL ... would you return it and get monohydrate? She said it's pure and straight source.

I haven't been to the dr in 17 years .. 😅🤣😂

Thanks, why wasn't it working for you? And is it 2-5 lbs a month or just overall?

My man I'm short 5'6 and my calorie based on age, weight, height is supposed to be 2700 calories. I'm intaking 3250 daily to bulk and it still isn't enough. I'm not gaining so this week I have to pump those numbers up. You definitely need to increase

Cool I sure will. Do you follow a certain weight lifting program?

Great thanks. I will keep an eye on this. I may need to restructure my lifting program. . Thanks for your time.

Cool man, ya I'm at 1.2 but sometimes hard to achieve through out the busy day. I am taking weight gainer protein so I won't know until a few weeks how lean I become.

Yes I have a routine with barbells. Seems as if I'm stalling. I don't feel as strong as when I first started working out. I burn out faster. I need more carbs possibly? Protein I am currently taking 1.2 G per pound.

Thanks for the share.. ok glad I'm I. That range. I am currently intaking 1.2 per lb. Great article

Hehehe u can see how new I am to weight lifting/body building. Read numerous articles online. Excuse my ignorance lol. I haven't fully worked out since in school over 10yrs ago. Thanks for insight

I probably burn more calories than normal, I lift free weights iny garage in Arizona, 110-115 degrees and worst inside a garage

Im with you, I should be at 135/145 with my height and age. I'm looking to be stocky ( I got bored lol, same slim 135/145 my lifetime) What scale do you recommend for determining body fat % . I will go buy one

Hey thanks for responding. I'm 5'6 Current weight: 173lbs Goal weight: 185lbs Body fat %: unknown (I'll get back to you) The 2874 is based on macro calculator Calorie recommendation based on calculator 3180 Because of weight lifting, I know I'm burning calories, should it be 3180 Net after burned calories? Or actually…
