is there anything wrong with eating alot and gaining weight really fast? i gained 15 lb in 2 weeks by just eating alot and not doing cardio like i did before

Well, it depends on what kind of weight you are gaining.

Is it mainly fat or is it mainly muscle?

I'm not saying it isn't possible, but 15 pounds of muscle would be quite above the norm for muscle gains in two weeks.

I would keep at least some cardio in your routine, so you can stay in good cardiovascular shape.

^^ agree, even if you were on an AAS cycle it would be impossible to put on 15lbs in two weeks of solid muscle. There is a chance you were glycogen depleated prior to this, and that would account for some, and if so there is a lot of water wieght that would come along with that too. So it may not be all fat, but a combo of fat muscle, water and glycogen ... but its tough to say.

No problem with it if your goal is to be a fat ass.

i was cutting allot of wieght thats why, i cant do that agian. it was all muscle, water weight and a belly that sticks out.

Like I said, I won't say it's not possible to gain that much muscle so fast, because I don't like putting limitations on things. I think anything could happen if you believed it hard enough.

It would certainly be an incredible transformation.

But, for sure, you definitely don't want to gain unhealthy amounts of fat. I grew tired of the fat I gained the last time I bulked. Jogging pants are not the best clothing for all occassions.

This time around, I want a cleaner bulk. The uncomfortable feeling of my belly pushing against my jeans is not something I like.

I'm also concerned about this, I'm the typical tall skinny teenager, I want to get big like everyone else, I just want nice big muscles, not bulk, and tone.. I do NOT want a ton of fat added with this!! A bunch of guys on our football team I talk to and see at the gym are fat + bulky and they tell me to eat a ton or my workouts wont do shit etc, but I don't want to end up looking like them ><

Darkvision · 03-16-2007, 05:27 AM

oh yeah and I forgot meh of course I want to be strong too! is it possible to be strong without looking like a complete beast?

Yes, it is definitely possible to gain mass and strength without looking like a complete beast. First, read the sticky on gaining mass and quality nutrition. Second, plan your workouts and cardio accordingly and you will not have to look like the StayPuft Marshmellow man when you are done bulking.

haha ok, what's the exact title of the sticky and is it in this forum? thanks for the input =D .. do you think 3x a week cardio is fine? 30 min run medium intensity.
