Have I reached my limit?
>start following a bulking meal plan/diet, 400 cal surplus
>clean bulk
>start lifting a bit heavier and with more volume
>gain no weight, sometimes lose a pound
>actually getting weaker
Whats the fucking point of all this effort.
Help please
rest.
Also eat more, 400 calorie surplus clearly isnt enough if you're losing weight.
I get 7.5 to 8 hours every night.
6'1"
185 lbs
Current macros
3200 cals
240 p
360 c
90 f
being natty doesn't help
Stuff your fucking face, be full all the time. I stress some work outs till fail.
You'll see results within a month
i'd venture to say your tdee isnt accurate. are you very active?
Eat more and sleep more
>Whats the fucking point of all this effort.
That's a good question, answer is no point. You will be much better off eating healthy, get lean body and lift once a week or two. As a natty you will not gain much, ever. Use your time and effort making money for example, dont waste it on lifting or anything ridiculous as that
>3200 cals
laughable
I'm 5'9 and I easily need 3500 to just maintain. Bump your calorie intake to 4000 a day then come back in a month
>I'm 5'9 and I easily need 3500 to just maintain.
No, you don't, and probably you arent.
Yes, I do, faggot
Post your exercising routines or you are full of shit
>6'1"

How do you find out how many calories your routine burns?
I don't. I find out by my weight fluctuation and totally calorie consumption over the time I've lifted
Eating 3.5k calories maintains my weight, less I begin to steadily lose, and 4k I steadily gain
You're not eating at a surplus, you imbecile. Did you retards never take a basic science class in your life?
Thanks for the input. I based the caloric maintainence and macros off online bodybuilding calculators. My work also requires a lot of walking for the entire shift. Hard to believe this much food is just for maintenance or just a tiny surplus
Also why did you call me an imbecile
>eating at surplus
>lose weight
You fucking tool
Why aren't you eating sleeping or training right the fuck now?
this... try 1000 calories for a week or 2 and see what happens.. still losing add more, gain a pound or 2 drop to 800...
im op,yes i am very very active,me and my bf fuck a lot
OP, not sure what your genetics are, but I was your size couple years ago, I started eating so much that I didn't even enjoy food anymore, i did lots of lifts of 5 sets 5 reps at ~85% of my max and good lord I got big fast
