[@jamiehull7777]

Thanks for all the info lately. Adding the liquid calories has been a life saver for me, especially in warmer months. Who doesn't love grape juice in their pre-workout, duh?

[@liamengram6326]

As an ectomorph I didn't care about putting on a lot of fat at first because I knew I could shed it off easy. So in my first major bulk I added 1,000 calories a day to put on 2lbs per week for the first 4 months and got a bit of a belly. Then I dropped down to 500 additional calories a day for the last 2 months. I didn't get lean off that, but I kept building muscle and did lose some of the belly. Now I just eat an extra 100-200 calories a day almost year round and I consistently stay lean and build muscle. Quick cut for the summer body is the only time I eat in a deficit, and not a huge one.

[@liamengram6326]

Just a few tips I have for other ectomorphs, as a fellow ectomorph that has successfully put on considerable lean mass A pint of 1% milk with 3 of your meals will add 600 calories, 48g protein, 78g carbs and 15g fat. Add prepackaged oatmeal to all your shakes. Quaker has some "protein oatmeals" that will add 230 calories, 10g protein, 41g carbs, 3g fat to every shake and it doesn't make it any more filling. Take a 10 minute walk after every meal. It helps your food settle and kickstarts your digestion. You will be hungrier for your next meal. And... AVOID STIMULANTS. Stimulants like caffeine are appetite killers. If you take a pre-workout seek out a stim-free one. One I would recommend comes from a man Joe knows well, Mountain Dog. His supp company Granite makes a great stim-free workout.

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Great tips, I recommend them to anyone who cannot gain weight, especially the tracking calories part. Cronometer makes it so easy, there is no excuse not to if you are serious about your goals

[@SzatStrength]

thank you for watching and the feedback!

[@KebapRocker]

What whould you say are the pros and cons of cronometer vs myfitnesspal? I feel like crono is nicer to look at for beginners but I havent tried it so I dont know if I should recommend it to them

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

@@KebapRocker Cronometer used to be way better because it showed you all of your micros as well as macros. But now you have to pay for that feature. So I guess they are equal now

[@joshdrake3183]

[@SzatStrength]

What tips have you made when trying to bulk? Or what has worked best?

[@JbskMsj]

Add plain protein powder to every coffee you have, if you have trouble getting enough protein

[@kadematyis6578]

Peanut butter and mass gainers

[@AspireWu]

Other than meal prepping? Just eat when you aren’t doing anything else. Hard to play catch up. I work a live in shift and I just make food constantly. Fortunate to have someone pay for my meals while I’m at work ($7 can get you a good amount of meat here in Oregon)

[@LockhartsPowerhouse]

Looking thick man! I saw your video doing back day with meadows and was surprised how much mass you put on and how big you actually looked around everyone! Well done! Also I agree that loaded Carries and zerchers build the back up massively! I’ve been incorporating Loadable Hussafell Carries and my back and arms have been growing!

[@julianplayzgames]

@@angela76 Angela, typing comments is killing your gains. You should be doing facepulls right now!! (Note: I'm typing with my toes, too busy doing face pulls)

[@StandStrength]

Does this mean I can justify my alcoholism as getting in liquid calories?

[@SzatStrength]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[@liamengram6326]

Excessive drinking will considerably lower your testosterone and free testosterone levels. It also inhibits recovery and protein synthesis. And it's almost impossible to workout through a nasty hangover. Drinking a ton of beer will help you put on mass, but 85% of it will be in your belly, and the remaining 15% will be in your now enlarged liver.

[@liamengram6326]

If you do feel the need tl drink set up your program so that you have 2 days off in a row, like 6 days on 2 days off. Keep it to once a month maximum. And drink on the night of your first day off. That will give your muscles at least some recovery time before you go and nuke them with booze, and you have your 2nd day off to recover from the drinking. It will still hinder your progress, but if you're going to drink at all that will do the least damage.

[@StandStrength]

@@liamengram6326 It’s a good thing I’m not actually an alcoholic and drink only 1-2 times per year. But this sounds like great advice to keep in mind if I ever have a client with an alcohol problem.

Hey Joey ! So do you recommend your powerbuilder program goes well to make gains and veins ? Greetings from Mexico.

[@Bobby-gw6ip]

Cronometer is an excellent calorie tracker. Fundamentally works the same way as MyFitnessPal, except it also gives the function and food groups for each micronutrient. Also is an app on mobile and can be used on desktop as well.

[@SzatStrength]

I'm going to check it out.

For my body, gaining muscle can be easy but maintening the muscle is the hard part. I don't know if it's my diet or the way I train but my muslce mass seems to fluctuate to much. I guess I still need to understand how my body works. Good luck to everyone trying to put some muscle on. Cheers.

[@Jordanslifts]

Joey!!! I gots a question thats been rolling around in my brain lately latelyyyyyy What are your thoughts on the body type mapping/endomorph, ectomorph etc stuff?? I previously thought it was all BS but more and more ppl are talking about it now. Thanks a ton!

[@SzatStrength]

[@kahanu6954]

Thanks for the info, do you have a suggestion for how much fat is acceptable to put on while bulking before cutting?

[@revolution1423]

The secret is in the micro nutrients. Macros are railway cars, micro nutrients are the railway. The micros (vitamins, minerals, phytonutreints, etc.) Turn A-B and so on.

[@dlquddh7]

Just out of curiosity, how long did you take training off after getting chest tat done??

[@franciscvmpbell]

500 over maintenance is kinda a lot no? I’d recommend going for 2-300 if you don’t wanna gain fat. I went from 64 to 82kg and when I was eating 5-600 over I gained fat definitely. If you’re super lean though and skinny I’d recommend getting to 15-20% body fat anyways when trying to gain. Good video btw

[@tjcogger1974]

I wanna be yoked like you when I grow up!... Even though we're almost the same age haha

[@isthi000ify]

Problem I run into is, more I add calories....more my belly also grows. How do you guys gain mass but keep belly down???

[@whiteytitey1234]

See, I'm 5'7, about 123lbs right now, and just started eating over 2k calories a day for the last two weeks, and I noticed the difference. Before I wouldn't eat nearly as much and also wouldn't have nearly as much protein. But eating anything more that 2,500 to 2,700 just gets like sickening. Like totally full stomach.

[@SawWaveSurfer]

You might want to ask this question to Nick Bare or watch his videos. He mainly trained for Powerlifting, then more "Powerbuilding" and finally incorporated way more cardio and mile runs with a marathon as a goal. (Disclaimer: He lost a fair bit of weight because these two goals of big and strong + running fast kinda interfer with each other training and goal wise.) kzbin.infovideos

[@benjaminadams735]

@@SawWaveSurfer I used to play college soccer while I was trying to also get as strong as I possibly could. So I guess our goals were somewhat similar. I have some things that worked for me and also may work for you. I would make sure to be eating in a slight surplus as if your running and training multiple times a week your gonna need that fuel. You could weight train 3-4 times a week. Maybe Mon. (long distance slow + upper body) Tuesday (Lower body) Wed (rest) Thursday (Tempo run +upper body) Friday ( Lower body) Saturday (rest) Sunday (Hard run then active recovery, mobility and yoga) something along those lines might be helpful. Hope this helps and hope you smash out your goals man!
