"I eat a lot and don't gain a lot of weight"

AHHHHH




Bulking the one iffy topic for all lifters in general. Bulking is when you eat a surplus amount of food to put on weight. For example, a male can be 150ibs. Well, if he bulks and eats around 3,000 calories a day he gains 12ibs in one year. The thing that I hate is when people say "I eat a lot and don't gain weight." Here is the easy explanation

If you're going to lie about how much you eat at least be truthful when you tell me this.
If you eat "a lot" why arent you gaining weight? For starters, 98% of the people who tell me this are NOT counting their macros day in and day out. You don't even know if you're eating a surplus, nor even have a smaller amount of diet knowledge, but claim nothing works.

Here is the easiest ways to fix this


Count your macros

Macros not calories
Lets say im 145ibs and 5'7 and I must consume over 300grams of carbs to gain weight
divide that number by the amount of meals you will eat. Lets say four

300/4= 75g of carbs a meal

in four meals you MUST consume 75g of carbs


Lean bulk

The results will be a bit different than not watching your diet because of how much more you're going to have to work for it and it might take a little longer.

Lean bulking is when you eat a healthy amount of surplus food and build muscle. An non steriod user can easily build 10-15ibs of muscle on a dedicated work ethic in a year. If you gain more knowledge in lifting you can build even more muscle by doing various exercises to make yourself an advanced lifter quickly!

Dirty Bulk (not recommended) 

This works for a small amount of us natural lifters. Fat cells  don't go away so it drives you away from that goal body you desire. However, people dirty bulk with a lot of fast foods to gain weight quickly which just most of the time makes you fat. These people who dirty bulk most of the time are advanced lifters who know how to cut the weight down.

When starters dirty bulk they often don't do it correctly. For example, they put on 25-30% body fat instead of muscle. Because they just started lifting it takes up to 2-3 years to gain abs or strides, feathers, and separation from the bicep and shoulders! Plus these guys just started lifting so they don't know how to diet neither and end up just quitting.
