Article: Why Your Bulking Isn't Working

What a load of bull.If you want your bulk to work you need to also use special "supplements" from steroids to growth hormone. If you have been training for more then 2.5-3 years and you are expecting radical muscle gains from bulking natural have fun cutting all the fat later and shrinking to your prebulk state.

Lol...

Not true at all.


Well written, although its important to just get the cals in also. Doesnt matter if 6 meals or 4 or 2 etc
 
Not true for me. I was able to modulate my weight up by about 25 lbs with relatively the same bodyfat (same size 32 jeans) in a year by gaining about 2 lbs per week and lifting heavy and using full body routine 3 times a week. I would gain around 16lbs in a 8-10 week period and I would carefully diet back over the next 8-10 weeks using higher reps and lower calories and lose about 5-8 lbs. All of this was without any steroids, pro-hormones, etcGranted, I was pretty skinny but had trained over the past five years - I just wasn't eating enough or consistently to gain anything. Once I put my mind to it, I was pretty regimented and weighed myself almost evey day (same time in the morning). A couple of times I just got sick of eating so much food but it would usually pass in a couple of hours. Started out at about 150lbs @ 5'9" (I said skinny didn't I?) and ended up around 175 with a visible six pack. I would just increase my calorie count each week until I started gaining 1-2 lbs a week. My strength went up each time I went on a bulk cyle. Everybody thought I was taking steriods because I was taking 15 huge amino acid pills a day, liver tablets (questionable help) and a bunch of different vitamins. I tried to push my self over 200lbs (at less than 10% bodyfat) using this method but couldn't get over 196. Then wife, kids, higher paying job kicked in and couldn't really devote the time to keep it up. So I think that this method works but you obviously have a limit to how far you can push it naturally.
 
Great read
 
This article could have been summed up in one paragraph. And what does emotional eating have to do with not being able to bulk. At the same time this does remind me to buy a weight gainer:)
