I've decided I need to bulk up and gain some weight..
I am.. (I think) an ectomorph. 5'6/5'7 at 127lb.
I'm wondering if my cardio activities are hurting me way too much and how many calories I should take to get improve how much I gain. It took me 2 and a half weeks to gain 2 pounds. (to get from 125 - 127)
My cardio stuff:
Martial arts (Arnis/Kali) on Mondays and Thursdays.. one day being like stick and knife sparring and form drills, the other being like a hour or two of heavy MMA sparring that leaves me completely exhausted. Can't even lift up my hands to guard by the end of it.
Clubbing with my friends on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays, usually only one or two of those nights. It's around 2 - 3 hours of dancing which is pretty exhausting too. I limit my alcohol to two - four drinks a week.
I do my weight training on sunday, tuesday and wednesday..
3-way split. legs, abs, back/Chest, Triceps - neck/biceps, shoulders
My diet is currently like 100g of protein.
and a 2500 - 3000 calories daily
