Why don’t i gain weight???
Been 2 weeks since I increased my cal intake… just checked how many… coming from 2200cal/d end of the cut, i’m now up to 3500, and seeing absolutely no effect on the scale… even after 2 weeks!
Lifting as heavy as i can, eating well, but just seems i have an internal regulator that set my weight to 75kg and doesn’t want to move. Thought i gained 2 lb, but they’re gone already! frustrating!
Bulk will be tough - especially as I’m a slow eater and have to litterally stuff myself to eat!
Maybe i should start eating Pizza, Ice cream and doughnuts… at least i’d be gaining something!

Hi! I had the same problem recently.. Was stuck to 157 pounds for about 2 months with 3500 cal/day. My body didn’t want to go for more. I started my new 5000 cal, 200g protein/day about a week and a half ago and I’m up to 161 now. Tip: Eat your regular 3-4 meals a day + try a mass gainer 2x/day, you should see a difference. Good luck!

Yo !
I feel I’ve started losing too much muscle, so I’m drowning everything in olive for the calories. I don’t want to increase carbs yet because I want more cuts still.
I will say that I took your advice and I’m completely changing my workout around to shock my body. I’ll let you know the results. I do love being sore.
But I agree with you to some degree, up your simple carbs a tad and see if mass comes in. Your pre and post workout shakes are carb-rich, right ?
