New guy. I'm 32 male 150 pounds at 5'11''. I have been hitting the gym for about a year and a half now and have gained about 5 pounds of muscle. I have always been a light weight who doesn't gain easy. my body fat is at about 10%. I'm looking into running a cycle to bulk up a little and gain some muscle, I am able to stay lean which is nice but makes it very hard to gain. Any advice for a new guy looking for some ideas. I have read a lot on the internet most of which is probably crap but I have learned a bit from the body builders bible I bought. Anyway hello all and thanks for any help.

most days im taking in about 3000 calories when I track them on my Iphone app, I think my job plays a big part in burning a lot of what I eat, as well as the strength training that I do at the gym, I nevr do any cardio in fear that it will only reduce the work I have made by burning my muscle for fuel. I believe that my calorie intake is still to low but after gorging myself with so much food its hard to eat more then the 3000 calories I manage to put down.Comment

Yeah love VT and NH do a lot of hiking backpacking and camping tripsComment

That's it there bro- you need to eat a lot more. I don't grow unless I am above 4200cals. I wasted many years trying to gain at 3000 cals and only ended up getting lean and cut. If you want to build muscle you have to eat a lot more."Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind, and nourish with repetition and emotion, will one day become reality."

Yeah Mass Gainer shakes, if ur truly a "Hard Gainer", they pack a shit load of calories 1000+, protein and carb's in a shake.Originally posted by jcovell View Post
not to mention (but I will) Peanut butter, almond butter, avocados etc....
Also if u can post a days meal plan (u may eat too clean)?"GYM + JUICE"Comment

I just might be eating to clean, I watch a lot of what I take in and a buddy of mine is telling me to just eat, I do a lot of the peanut butter and toast, which is good carbs and protein, im going to add in the weight gainer. I am getting stronger for the most part with bench squat and deadlift so something is happening, just no weight is being put on. I will pull a meal plan of from my log and post it to see what you all think.Comment
