+ 2 Bulking or lean bulk
ad
I'm interested in everyone's thought about bulking! When I think of bulking it's eat everything you can plus taking in 300+ g of protein! I know some guys call a bulk staying under 12% bf which they call a lean bulk. What is your preference or your thoughts?

I eat clean (yeah right...mostly though)so I never really gain any fat. I know this sounds so "cliche" but its true. I only gain fat when I eat tons of sugar and junk basically. And I have learned to control that with eating the right foods at the right time. nfact eating clean I never really go hungry. And I make sure to get enough for the GAINS! Just have to watch the ol sweet tooth...... Now down to around 8% BF. I can see abs anyway !
Cut its horns off wipe it's arse and give it to me:)
If it bleeds I eat it!
Caveman style is growth orientated............ any thing that walks, squawks or grows in the ground, hangs from trees etc is all good grub............ anything processed is for the toilet imo
Aint that the truth!! I ran out of fresh produce and had to turn to canned green beans last night, plus the wife used cream.of mushroom soup over the top of the chicken....we both had pounding headaches at the same time...i figured it was the processed crap...
Once I became programmed to reading ingredients in foods I thought were beneficial. I nearly shit myself! Its downright infuriating how they can take almost anything natural, and pump it full of preservatives just to aquire a longer shelf life. Even frozen goods. Its fkn frozen! As lifters we are conscious of there so called "healthy" options. I now spend around twice on groceries at a local farmers market but it is well worth it! Local growers, ranchers. Pay into the local economy and our health and well being. Fuck the supermarkets. Kind of ranted off topic my bad just pisses me off
Yep. I never functioned right on canned, or processed food. Cant do sucralose, or fake sugar. I use almost a tablespoon of brown sugar in oatmeal for bfast everyday. Fresh brocolli, squash, brussel sprts, romaine lettuce, green and red peppers, jalapenos, roma tomateras (andrew dice clay...lol) sweet potato, baking potato, carrots, white onion, gala apples is what i keep on hand. I get some of this fresh frozen fruit from wally wrld...its pretty good....i grow basil, parsley, dill and cilantro. I make some killer salsa...its bangin hot and i tweek it with a little salt and a small fraction of brwn sugar, lemon, lime and white distilled vinegar. I cant ever make enough of that stuff. My biggest batch i made was with 12-15 roma tomateras..lol..it yielded enough to put in jars...gave some to friends....now i am gettin hungry...thx a lot bro....lol.
What no asparagus
Haha as I was reading I was thinking, shoot that salsa sounds damn good! Med should jar that and send one my way!
Lol...its better than Hell On The Red...my tomateras..lol..are more of a puree...but after it congeals it thickens and sits on a chip like a cat in the window...like its supposed to be there...lol
Sold! Maybe for the eroid crowd you put a rubber climp on the jar!
Everybody should read through this thread viking and catalyst put on a bulking clinic thanks guys
Keep your meata lean and your treats high. I go lean meat but drink the hell out of some 2% milk
This actually depends on goals... If one is cutting and achieving that refined dry looks then yes, I'd imagine choosing leaner meats would definitely help achieve that look. But when it comes to packing on some mass, having that fatty meat really helps with the gains, 80/20 beef is heaven sent. I don't go over 85/15.
I'm bulking now as well. Eat everything lift big what's fat? Lol
Anybody here like Irish mixed grill?............. goes like this >>>>
Roast potato,Boiled potato,Mashed potato, Fries, Croquettes,French fries,potato cakes,Baked potato lmao!
Im bored so lets see if i can help anyone............ try this for breakfast for a change.
8 lambs kidneys cut lengthways with pipes removed.
Stick em under the grill for about 5mins or until just turned pinkish.... dont crucify em they will be tough.
Stick em on top of toasted Granary or wholewheat thick toast, splash of hot sauce then eat and thank me later lol.
Makes a nice change from eggs and the usual Bfast stuff........ well i think so anyway
I don't get THAT bored but I do drink your tuna shakes ;)
I'll dedicate this alternative to eggs to you haha, for re-introducing me to offal.
I'm sure not everyone here has a preference for liver (it's fucking delicious though), but nobody can pass up a good pate. You can cook up a few lbs of liver, chop up an onion, a few cloves of garlic, bay leaves, proportional butter (I forget what the ratio is), and BAM. You have a delicious liver pate. 10oz of pate on some rye toast/bagels and you've got a great breakfast alternative that's quick to spread and eat.
Damn...holdin out on me bro...that sounds good!!! I am gonna make that very soon...
Not even sure where to get lamb Kidneys where I'm from! Lol
I'd try your local butcher, it's where I get all m kidneys, livers, hearts, etc. Even the major supermarkets with a butcher cutting/packing the meats should have them.
you lost me right here
aaaah.................... i was planning to surprise you on our Valentines supper with that little gem :(...... back to the drawing board methinks ;(
Hows about cous cous stuffed pigs hearts?
Thanks dude..
Or just add them to 4 eggs already on that sammich
Oh yeah that would be a nice ensemble (sp?)..we eat salmon and tuna, too, in the morning...along with oats..
Haven't had salmon in a while... Haven't seen it on sale lately. I do have a few lbs of tuna steaks though, might have to make them now that I'm craving them.
I've eaten "abnormal" combinations before... Herring and cottage cheese come to mind.
Cottage cheese is the bomb!!. Only problem is that it needs to be packaged in gallon container...lol i like it by itself, but i put a couple hard boiled eggs with it sometimes...both of them together tastes rich...
We get the salmon.in a can.too.and make salmon patties...its really.good stuff
They can't make a container big enough of cottage cheese. I'll do pepper pretty much any time but if I want to change it up a bit I'll add a couple of tablespoons of french dressing to a quart of it. Not half a jug just enough to sweeten it a little.
Natural with min salt...sometimes with hard boiled eggs
I hear you on that, those tubs they pack them in are kid size. I usually eat it with a little pepper, but I have eaten with raddishes before... Added some nice texture to it.
Which brand of salmon in a can do you use... I see it on the shelf next to tuna, but I can never seem to get it into the cart.
We get great value from wally world...that other salmon colored can is good too...but it more money...
Ill take a look next time I'm at Trader Joes and get a couple cans. If I can't stomach it I can always blend it with some diet Dr Pepper.
The bodybuilders of today are bigger well there friggin huge and the bulking to gain like 40 to 50 pounds or more in off season is just about all gone they dont do it anymore no since in it and they still look good year around and still gain and seem to get bigger and bigger beyond my imagination it's just incredible to me. So in off season just eat more clean foods and I cut out shakes I try to eat more whole foods less shakes if it's possible.
I substituted whole foods for shakes because of the inconsistency with the powder and the price increasing. Now, i dont miss the powder. And, i feel my gains are more solid. I do believe that the shakes help, though. I just dont know how much they help me. IMO, i have kept more gains with food only, than shakes and food. The shakes made me lean and light.
Whole foods keep my furnace burning.
Yep...good for keeping house warm on cooler seasons...lol
yea but the wife laying on me I get to hot lol
Thats classic right there...happens to me too...gotta pull away when it starts getting sweaty...
lol
Na need my cardio bro lol. :-)
Are you eating a lot of beef bro?.... i find beef the best when aiming for bulk due to the abundance of natural creatine.... amongst all the other good stuff it holds.
Also you have probably seen me say i love offal too.......... hearts,livers and kidneys, they by far are the best and easily digested/assimilated aminos you can ram in the pie hole lol
red meat is king for bulking! i find the more red meat i eat the better i look and the muscles seem to stay fuller and firmer compred to eating other meats, i love my scotch fillet and porterhouse but ny kind of the unprocessed red meat works best for me.
on a side note i tend to eat a heap of vagina year round, not for bulking, just coz im a sick, twisted horny bastard with vagina on the brain.
Nothing wrong with that whatsoever brother.......... i would call you normal!..... LMAO!
I dont eat a lot of pork, either. Wild pig/hog is the closest i get to that. But, i was talking to a pig farmer today, and he brought up Paylean. Its a food they give pigs to make them lean. It stresses them out. I think its only for show pigs....he said the meat looked gray, in comparison to a pig that didnt get fed Paylean. France used Tren to increase lean muscle mass ratio years ago...Paylean doesnt sound too good...i wanted to run this by ya...
Never heard of it bro.............. i like pork and use quite a bit of lean loin or tenderloins if i can buy em in bulk, packed with selenium and i buy British (local) so i have a good idea of what im getting.
Rabbit is good and healthy too ... very lean like turkey.
I still need to read about the Paylean, more. I just heard about.it today. The loin is good on the hog too. Gonna focus on the internals of the beef. Also, going to keep an open eye for good buys on all meat. Maybe try meat market pork. We use to raise rabbits. Ate them yrs ago. I would have to ask around about them, now. Thanks, bro..
I eat a lot of deer meat to its good. Seen thing on Internet can't remember who said they eat a lot of lion meat??? How true Idk.
Man...i wish.i could.get some of that...and maybe tiger, too
I rotate the meats, chicken, fish, deer, hog and beef. I did turkey last night and ate the left overs at 1000 hrs and at 1400 hrs, today. My woman really liked the turkey. She even texted me today and told me!!
I am putting beef in the sink, now, to thaw for dinner. I havent contemplated the kidneys, or hearts, and been kinda slim with the liver. Thank you, bro, for the brain refresher on other awesome options!! I am puttin it on the grocery list, now!!
