Eat and then eat some more.
Figure out what calories you need for maintenance and add around 500 more. If you don't put any weight on, then add some more in.

Doing a clean bulk will work out better long term as you won't have to cut much for definition.
That said don't be afraid of eating junk to fire your intake up.
Just don't overdo it.

I was just over 8.5 stone last April. Now up to 11 stone 2lbs.

Clean bulked like mad and did eat some junk food as well just to up my calories.

As said eat loads of pasta, brown rice, chicken, mince steak etc...

Ask Dave and Chris they have me on facebook and I was super skinny when I started! Also in the gym dont try and lift heavy, start off really light and dont worry about people watching or looking at you as lets be honest here we all had to start somewhere :) (I could barely bench 50kg when I started now I'm up to 120kg).

It takes time, don't expect results overnight especially if you are natural :nice:

Follow Logan's meal/training program and I doubt you'll go far wrong.

Get a decent spotter/training buddy, the extra confidence for squats etc is well worth it.

Cheers man :)

Yeah having a spotter is good as well but don't worry if going yourself just go a tad lighter and do a couple more reps.

Also I got a 160kg deadlift today, quite chuffed with that lol

Good stuff :nice:

Currently using MusclePharm protein. It's not bad at all! I use it for post-workout and sometimes as a meal replacement when I'm on the go or in a rush.

thats good going for nearly a year when doing it natural

what whey protein do people recomend for bulking up and where do you buy it? my metabolism is seriously fast, i eat and eat to the point where it becomes annoying but still dont put much weight on and dont want to start hitting the juice so need some advise with this

what does "cut" mean?
 
I used mutant mass weight gainer with good results.

Civicx3 what's your daily intake ?

Cut just means cutting back on calories and improve on definition.

Yeah iv been focused on my goal, aiming for 13 to 14 stone naturally and staying lean.

I started off as Dave said on Mutant Mass but came off them as I noticed was getting a bit of a belly as they are full of sugar. So now I just eat real food as such. 6 meals a day at the moment, meal prepping each night does get a bit annoying but gotta do it :)

thanks for the info lads :))

so basically make sure im full constantly? healthy diet with plenty of carbohydrates and protein? what about water?

i used to work out when i was younger but wasn't getting anywhere except for toning up. it was at home aswell not the gym.only ate regular meals after working out and the odd snack in between.

how often do ye go to the gym, sorry if the answer is here but the thread is fairly long

Plenty of good fats in your diet as well.

I go roughly 4/5 times a week depending on work.

I drink about 3-4ltr of water per day.

The cheaper ones are generally filled with sugars etc to improve taste.
The myprotein range is very good. Just have a read of what one is best for you. I think the impact whey has a fair bit of carbs in it which isn't ideal for everyone. I usually buy protein without carbs as I can add them in myself with oats etc.

If you have the money I recommend gold standard whey. It mixes very well, doesn't make me bloated and tastes very nice.

the myprotein range has always looked good, i tried hurricane xs a few years ago for a while but soon gave up on it, was also quite pricey imo. Think il try their impact whey as that sounds more what im after, cheers for the tips
