Bulking Questions

[Aqualoo]

Yes I did try a search, no I did not find my answers.

Ok, so when I'm bulking, from what I understand... I will not get a gut and not gain fat?

And what would the turn out be if I did not bulk, but worked out hard? I would gain mass but still be a skinny guy?

[Stumprrp]

yes you will gain fat and yes you might develop a SMALL gut, even if you bulk super clean which would take a while there will still be SOME fat gain.

if you dont bulk and workout hard you will either maintain or lose weight.

[Aqualoo]

Hmm, ok.. thanks. I'll stick with bulking then because I do not want to stay the same weight.. and I sure as hell don't want to lose weight.

[Unreal]

Can't gain mass without eating more then you burn. Simple physics there. So if you want to get bigger, eat.

[Stumprrp]

and eat harty my friend! nice and healthy and plenty full! dont forget your vegetables.

I think Aqualoo has a fundemental missunderstandng of what you guys are telling him.....

A clean bulk dosn't slow down the bulking process.

What exactly do you mean by that?

[powerrack]

You will gain some fat along with the muscle mass, but it's worth it most of the time, if you cut correctly after a solid amount of time bulking the new gains should be very visible. Watch out for some massive strength gains when your really giving your body a lot of extra protein, fats and total calories.

[Aqualoo]

Yeah I figured I would gain at least some fat, that's a no brainer. I was just worried about how much.

I heard you should each as many grams of protain as your body weight.. so that would be 155g of protein a day for me. Is that true? Sounds like a lot to me, maybe too much.

[KingWilder]

1.5g per lb LBM protein

[ShockBoxer]

It is a lot. I'd never hit it without taking 4 scoops of whey for 96 easy grams a day. However, it's definitely not 'too much'. There are guys around here who eat twice that and are just fine.

[laxguy1028]

If you can't get that much through whole foods, which is ideal, then you should start using whey to reach your goals

[Slim Schaedle]

You guys think 155 grams is alot?

[Unreal]

I had 37.75oz of cooked chicken breast for dinner last night.
Calories 1730
Fat 37g
Protein 325g

That was just dinner. If 155g is alot, then the 400+ I took in yesterday must be tons.

That's a LOT of calories for one meal ( without saying anything about the hour ). Divide all that food in 3 small meals and combine it with complex carbs.

[Stumprrp]

damn fool!

[Unreal]

Well technically I ate about 30oz in one sitting, went out riding for about 2 hours then came back and ate the last 7.75oz breast. Alot of cals, but still only hit 2700 for the whole day. It was a rest day so lower carb day for me.

I have 100% whey protein from GNC that I've drank quite a few times before.

And when I meant 155g is a lot I was talking about for me, someone that's just starting to get into the whole bodybuilding scene. I guess it just sounded like a lot..

It does sound like alot when you start, but consider there are guys who eat 5-600g of protein every single day. Now 155 doesnt sound quite so bad.

[Aqualoo]

Is it possible to overdose on protein?

[Unreal]

No.

[sCaRz*Of*PaiN]

You guys think 155 grams is alot?**** no. :)



Is it possible to overdose on protein?WTF?

[Aqualoo]

I was just asking because I like to know things like that..

Sorry...
