that is a LOT of calories! to put it in perspective, at his heaviest off-season weight (300+ lbs) Dorian Yates was taking in 5000-6000 cals a day!

that much food will definitely get the scale moving so as Jeffo pointed out, just keep tabs on how MUCH it's moving and use the tape and mirror to help keep too much fat from piling on. On the flip side dont be afraid of some fat gain though as it is a natural by-product of eating for size.

and sticking to the SS routine or something similar is surely the best bet for you at this stage. be sure and check into microloading too! it is a great way to help keep the poundages moving UP!

best of luck!
