Bulking Contest: General Discussion

[Theguns]

Haha bring it boys because your only tempting me to work harder......i warning you im ready to go....ditched the home gym and joined and real one....got all new supps and a diet plan ready to go!

i think i have a good shot at this.....i really skinny so gaining body fat isnt really one of my top concerns and i know i could gain weight.....this comp is really good motivation for me though Tampa's comment just made me go downstairs and make some protein bars for work tomorrow

I went to a party tonite......popcorn and alcohol.....i didn't have either one so proud of myself

Btw Tampa i could own you on xbox

[Traps]

Man I can't wait to see how this turns out. How often are you guys weighing yourselves during this contest. I will probably weigh myself at the end of each month. Hopefully I can get 10 lbs out of this contest. More importantly I'd like to increase my lifts by at least 10%.

Yeah same I just want to see how much stronger I get by the end of the contest. Add 5lbs each workout to the big 3, that's how I'm doing it. Just visualize and attack. lol

I don't know if I can add 5 lbs, that seems really difficult. I wish I had some of those magnetic 2.5 lb weights. That would be nice.

try ebay, I bought some from there, called platemates you want a pair of 1.25lb weights to add 2.5lbs evenly distributed on each side of the bar. I bought 2 pairs so that I could use them to help with dumbbell weight jumps being too big at my gym.

BTW, I'm up about 1.5lb since June 7 when I did my pics

It's ok I just went to the can and I'm pretty sure I lost it all

[Theguns]

Whats supps are you guys using

Im sure we all have a tub of whey protein in the mix But i am using whey,multi v, home made protein bars and some Muscle Milk for its micellar caseins or something like that before bed

I think i may start up creatine loading or something idk how many of you guys are going to be taking creatine?

[Matt58]

I'm taking:

Bioplex 100% Whey
ISS Research Complete Creatine
Dextrose
Multivitamin
Fish Oil
ON BCAA Powder

..Just picked up the BCAA's will have to order some in bulk soon.

[musclesntx]

I'd be interested in seeing what some of you guys are eating (numbers wise). Throw your macro totals out (along with your weight). See how many of you guys are totally undereating for serious size gains.

LIFT HEAVY!

[Theguns]

Im pretty small so my bulking diet is most people maintance diet but im looking to take in roughly 2,800 calories a day using a 40/40/20 ratio so each day i want roughly

280 protien
280 Carbs
50 Fat

(If my math is right)

To make it easier i just divide all that by six (meals a day) and when i go to eat i just dont stop eating until i get the right amount of calories so each meal i dont stop until i get roughly (at minimium)

46 protien
46 carbs
8 fat

This is without counting Pre/During/Post workout nutirtion which adds anohter 300-600 calories

[Weee]

Sadly, I'm probably eating about the same calories as theguns, my macros are a bit different but I can't share them. I put on weight pretty fast at this caloric intake and anything more and I'll just get even fatter.

[Theguns]

We should try to work out some sort of prize for this comp like if every one puts in 5 bucks or sumthing

[tampabay3990]

yeah i think there def should be a prize myself.

[Theguns]

We should set one up......its gonna b sumthing silly like a tub of whey or 50 bucks but it will b better than nothing

[tampabay3990]

i would love a winndixie gift card to buy all the damn eggs and chicken and steak i eat.

[Theguns]

lol but what good is that gonna do after the contest?

Maybe after summer we good have a fall cutters contest? lol

But lets really try to work the prize out

I think there is like 9 of us in the comp? evey1 give 6 bucks that $54 and the winner can spend it on the supplement(s) of his choice or maybe upgrade his home gym or maybe used towards a gym membership idk

[GetFit]

If I win, I don't need money my results are payment enough. I am taking 0 supps, no protein, no creatine. Nothing but food.
