Bump

The dumbbells come in pairs and are 5 10 15 and 20 pounds. My barbell goes up to 40 but I Will hopefully be able to increase that

Lift every other day. I use a barbell and dumbbells that go up to 20 pounds

Update: I have refrained from wearing ankle weights for 3 straight days! I am aiming for 4000 calories a day now

Ok thank you

How noticeable 8 to 10 pounds gain in 3 to 4 weeks be? I know I will notice since I always see myself naked but will others notice?

It tastes better than sugar. It still does have like 4 calories a packet though

How do you guys feel about adding splenda to coffee? I only drink it when travelling like today I had one cup of coffee with like 6 packets

I have been aiming for 100+ grams of protein a day. This is going to be much more difficult to hit these next two days as I'm traveling with a school group and will be at a competition. Food will be more limited and we get proportioned meals at the banquets so I'm nervous of falling short of my calorie goals. I also find I…

That's a great idea! I think I will try that out. That method should help me hit my goal by April 22 and will be really after over the next month's as I continue to bulk

Sorry I kind of snapped at you, I was in a bad mood (my dog just woke me up and it was only 6 am haha). I do appreciate your advice. I am very aggravated with these "professionals". I have been to three nutritionists and the first two said I only need 2000 calories to gain and the third was also very misinformed, was…

Waldo- I do have a good idea where the ED came from. It all started out of boredom really. As I was bored, I would want to eat. Afraid of this behavior, I started to monitor what I ate and track it. Also as I was bored, I would do a lot of cardio. Slowly I did more and more cardio and continued to track what I ate. I…

No it is not just one person who said that, it had been multiple. Its been about a 50 50 split on whether this is a good idea. Maybe you should read through my entire OP and also the entire thread and not just jump to conclusions. People like you are very aggravating. I appreciate your attempt at help but you are not being…

Yahoo I think will just follow more of what Aaron and also said. I do appreciate everyone's concerns but I think some of them are over reacting. I recognize that I am not fully recovered but it's not as bad as some are making out to be.

I just use the calories as a guideline to help me and to help justify the mass quantities. Would 2 pounds a week be healthy though considering I'm so skinny and borderline underweight?

I am working on it. I just wear the ankle weights because want to increase my leg strength

I do eat loads of protein so I should be good for that. I would love to gain to about 122 from 115 in the next four weeks. Some of it may also be water weight but as long as the scale goes up by 7 to 8 pounds this month I'd be happy

I am doing lifting every other day.t I know the pacing is counterproductive but I can't simply stop it. That's why I'm curious how much to eat to eat it back

Well my plan is to do the aggressive bulk for the next month. The cut will be really short like only 1 or 2 weeks. This is just to keep my fat gains in check and also so I don't shock myself by becoming fatter than I wanted and resort back yo serious ED behavior. After the short cut, I am going to continue to bulk for…

Ya I think this plan sounds good. I will work hard to gain as much as possible for a couple of weeks so I gain lots of muscle but also lots of fat. I will then do a more modest cut in a month to lose some of that and show off my new muscle!

Thank you for the reply and help! I think I will try around 3000 calories average per day and see how that goes. I say average since on some days I eat 3500 to 4000 calories while on others I eat 2000 to 2500 calories. But in the end of the week, it still averages 3000ish a day

Thank you for actually reading the entire post. Others just saw certain buzzwords and made wrong conclusions. I would prefer to gain 2 pounds a week for the next month to make my doctor super happy at my next weigh in. I figure after that I could cut some of the fat and then just continue on a more modest bulk. But for the…

Bump

Ya I was staring to think 3000 might be too low to gain my 1 to 2 pounds. So do you think it would be okay to do an aggressive bulk for a good month and then cut to eliminate the fat? I will gain more fat in this time than most would on a bulk but I like cutting and this is what fits into my life the best. I think I might…
