The Bulking Primer

[dannyboy9]

Thanks for the advice Big Show. I'm not typically a fan of shakes except the essential one after a workout but Pre-workout, I tend to eat a bagel with a big glass of milk and a banana maybe. Alot of times I have 2 bagels and skip the banana. I've been looking into this cereal @ this organic supermarket by my house that is made up of blueberries and flax. I might start having a bowl of that with some milk and a banana and see how it goes. I've never really tried throwing fats into the mix but I guess we'll have to experiment and see how that works out in the gym :awesomewo

BMG: I wasn't saying that I was "uncomfortable" with his suggestions. I just wanted to know what was the reasoning for it because I was interested. I was actually trying to think outside the box :haha: Sorry if I came across any other way BMG. I just thought for energy, complex carbs would be anyone's best bet because that's what carbs do don't they: provide you with energy?

Thanks for all your responses!

Yea I dont think you want to eat bagels really. I believe that kind of carbs, bread too is something you really dont want. Eat oatmeal and cereal may work too. I would love to just eat a bagel and a glass of milk but I dont think thatll cut it. If you want to put on size you gotta eat plain and simple. And shakes are necessary bro. You may not like them and I dont either but drink a few a day... I drink usually 3-4 every day.

Dont worry about BMG, he means no harm just grumpy sometimes!

lol, sure

you might find this hard to believe though, but... ahh... i dont really eat any bagels before i lift.

if i eat right before i train, ill take down a half serving of ultra fuel. its 2/3rds multodextrin and 1/3 fructose = 50g carbs. works just fine for me.

if i have more than a half an hour im most likely to eat rice. i can digest rice fine with in this time frame... so it works just fine for me.

I didnt think you ate bagels which was why I recommended you tell him what you eat. Bagels really arent the right choice before the gym if at all. Oatmeal, rice, pasta... If you have the time its all good

I may have to try that Ultra Fuel. Thanks BMG!

no problem man.

by the way, i was kidding around with the bagel comment.... but the ultra fuel is really convenient. i would definately recomment it.

So you mean a bagel isn't going to cut it because I should be eating more pre-workout? A bagel is something likee 30-40 carbs and a banana is like 20 carbs if I'm not mistaken. Oh well. I think a nice cup of rice with a banana and some hard boiled eggs sounds nice for a pre-workout meal now :haha:

You guys are making me hungry now!

And BMG: :_1335:


:haha: j/k bro. You're an asshole and I like it. Do your thing brother.That Ultra Fuel you're talking about is more of an insulin spike than anything right? Considering the ingredients? I myself use Mega-Pro's Carbo Hit. :awesomewo

Big show: I do take in shakes throughout the day and they consist of grinded up oats, a banana and lots of milk (can't forget! gotta have some of that whey)

:scratch:

Sorry but why so little carbs?It almost seems like a cutting diet to me . Yea i eat like this... When i CUT. I could just not imagine gaining any weight on a diet like this. I eat carbs every meal! When i eat like the diet posted here i lose weight and strength. Could you give me any feedback why you wouldn,t eat carbs every meal? I guess your comment would be bloat well i dont get any bloat but i guess whatever works for you guys. This def wouldn,t be my kinda thing.

There are good carbs and there are bad carbs. Bagels, bread, shit like that are considered bad carbs which is why I said to stay away from them. Eat some rice, pasta with light butter, or a nice fat potato.
