I usually weigh 6-10 lbs more at night then when I woke up but I never keep it. When I bulk I hope to gain a pound a week if with a caloric surplus around 800 calories

caloric deficit is what changes body fat

You will not gain pounds of muscle of in 2 weeks

Check the meat section for the items about to hit the sell by date and are sold at a reduced price. Great way to have filet for flank price.

I love DMAA, just have respect for it and it will treat you well. I became tolerant to it very quickly though

For post work out I use optimum nutrition Hydrowhey

pushups, dips, presses, pullups, overheadpress, deadlifts.

I prefer doing cardio while in a fasted state

It may not be the case but most people just do not understand. Co-workers used to tell me I was destroying my kidneys with my diet and then they would smoke a cig while picking up McD's.

It has to come from within

This, if i could gain 3 lbs of muscle even while eating at a surplus I would weigh 2000lbs

When bulking I eat about 200 grams protein, 600 carbs, 100-150 fat. Eating simple carbs will help you become hungry again faster. Aside from a post workout shake I use only real foods.

To celebrate you should take your boyfriend to dinner!!

I mix whey isolate with 16oz chocolate milk.

I would assume MFP does that for liability reasons

track pants, thermal top

Free weights with focus on compound movements = best results. When you lift with free weights you are working intended area plus having to stabilize vs a machine where you are just working target muscle. I focus on Bench, overhead press, squat, deads. The last year I have increased my bench and overhead press by a…

multi fish oil whey isolate-post workout only

I only use Isolate

No, pick either a bulk or a cut and stick with it until you reach a particular goal.

yes, it does not have to be complicated and expensive to work good.

It tastes good, but there are much better products out there for a similar price.

yeah, just have something similar that you enjoy. I never eat anything I dislike.

Unless you have a condition treat a carb as a carb. However I will tell you when I bulk I will eat a lot of simple carbs so I will be hungry again faster. When I cut I typically only have simple carbs post workout and complex the rest of the day.

truth.

This, when my bmi was in the healthy range I looked chubby. After gaining 60 lbs and now having a BMI in the obese category I think I look pretty good.

Some people just do not react well to certain things. As far as returning I am pretty sure you would have no trouble returning a GNC product back there as they have a good return policy even if you have used some product.

Chocolate Milk + Peanut butter in between your other meals
