Goal everyday will be to eat over 3000 cals
Following the 10pounds of muscle in 4 weeks regime (found on muscle & fitness)

Hold me accountable and feel free to critique. I'll log my weights etc at the end of each workout.
Cheers folks

Well how about I follow the article with whatever they give me, and then we'll see whatever the results are at the end. I'll be happy with whatever I have at the end. Looks like a tough regime

Just bust ass and eat. But like Ecks said, 10 pounds in 4 weeks is literally impossible. That is something someone could aim to get in a year. Think long term!

Why 3000 calories?

Interested to see the outcome. Just don't want to see a guy spin his wheels based on a template written for a guy who is 6 foot 5 and weights 135lbs.

3500 to be honest. I'm also using MyFitnessPal with the 2 pounds a week thing. And yeah natty indeed. I thought I weighed 155 but turns out it was a fluke with the weighing machine. I'm 140 :( at 5'11".

Well I was there and I eat like a machine !! 3,000 + a day and it made me sick but that was the only way to gain for me , it takes time and a whole lot of work it's not easy I wanted to get to that 200 lb mark and I finally made it but I learn that from the family in here ... Then I started to do my cycles , actually just started my bulking cycle just over the weekend

A PR is a PR whether you've taken a pre workout or you prayed to Jesus for one and he decided to throw you a bone.
Nice work. Mr Hyde is no ****in joke. I had to stop taking it because I couldn't sleep from it.

Yeah this shit is like meth Milo. Also I wanted to ask you guys. Does melatonin really help with gains? I bought a bottle of 10mg pills that I started taking a while back.

Not sure if it helps directly but sleep is extremely important. The problem with melatonin is that people take too much and it loses is effectiveness.

LEG DAY

Summary:
-Motivation is NOTHING without discipline and I am now starting to realize that going to the gym takes a lot of both
-It legit feels like I'm paralyzed in my legs. **** leg day.

So, Mr. Hyde is making me feel nauseous in the gym. It's just like burp after burp and feels like it just sits there. Any advice on that?

Go buy some old fashioned oat . Throw a cup of them in the blender blend into powder. Add two scoops whey, a scoop of peanut butter and 18 ounces of milk. Pound one after the gym and one before bed. U will grow if u add those I promise. It helped me get from 175 to 196 natural. Oats are magic in my opinion. Lol

Take it with less water
I take mine with about 3 ounces of water and I don't get the burps anymore. The least amount if water possible.

My only critique is that you read Muscle & Fitness?? LOL just kidding. Eating does eventually get easier. I eat 7 meals a friggin day. At first I felt like throwing up, now I cant wait for the next meal. My cals are in excess of 5k a day. Keep at it and you will pack on some weight and it will get easier.

Shoulders and traps

Summary:
-Easy win as far as the workout goes
-Still sore from previous workouts; (need help with that)
-Didn't eat as much as I planned. I think I ate around 2000 cals. Need to work on getting more cals in in less meals. I get full wayyy to easily.

As I wrap up this week, I'll keep the tips you guys gave me in mind. Ecksrated, I'll try the PB smoothie jawn you mentioned.. Sounds delicious :p

Sounds disgusting but sometimes I'll take a truck out of Blaine Sumner's book and make my food into a shake. A chicken breast, beans, and some pineapple and water blending up thoroughly to drink. Helps when it's hot outside and my appetite is non existent or if I'm short on time.
