Hello all,
I'm in a bulking phase, I'm just trying to grow. I feel as if my growth is quite slow, but I'm unsure.
I've put on 1kg over the last two months. And my body fat is realitivly similar as it was when I started.
I'm at a 600 calorie surplus and training 5-6 times per week. Specific bodybuilding routine.
Macro's are 250P, 80F, 300C+
30/1/15 - 90.1kg
1/3/15 - 91.1kg
I'm just needing some advice, to see if you think this is normal or if I need to change something?
Thanks
Daniel
If you are a total beginner to the iron game and you were training consistently and taking optimum care of your recovery aspect, then an initial spur of about 2-4kg wouldn't be at all surprising. As you progress (and the more you progress), the slower those gains would be. It's always a case of "WOW Charlie, is that really you son!"...when you see someone who has taken up resistance training you haven't seen in a month or so. At 15, I went from 60kg to 63kg in one month without trying to add any weight on, and without training for bodybuilding. I began as a weightlifter, with 3 sessions a week under the close eye of a dedicated coach all those years ago. And I remember asking him, shall I lose weight to lift in the (back then) 60kg division? To which he replied in the negative, knowing from experience that my bodyweight was going to be on the increase as I had just started in that sport.Just curious @Fadi ; how much lean mass do you think it's possible to gain in say a month?
Ah, now that you've put it that way, my definite answer is no, no he should not increase his calories etc.Thanks Fadi, that's more what I was thinking for 'seasoned lifters'.
He has increased by 500g a month - without an accurate bodyfat scan it would be difficult to tell how much is lean but do you think this is too low/slow and he should still increase his calories and also possibly risk increasing his fat gain?

Good thinking BazzaI'm not sure why you think you have stalled.
Going on current growth this time next year you will be 97.1kg. If your not getting fatter that is great progress. Growing muscle is a slow process
You're eating about 3000 calories a day and training 6 times a week. I was having about 3900 calories for breakfast and training 8 times a week and still didn't put on any weight. Either increase your daily caloric intake, reduce your training frequency, or both.
I agree with this
5 to 6 days is week is ok but gotta remember thats a shitload of calories going out if your training with intensity and pushing yourself
after doing this for a few months you should be able to eat all day long and just soak up anything and everything with that gym frequency and good ethics
