Hello,
I would like for someone to comment on my rate of weight gain during my bulk. I started early January until now running Fierce 5 Novice. I'm 40 years old, 5'9". My weight started around 169/170, and now today at the gym my weight showed 177.8 lbs, which I know last Wednesday was 176.4. I understand the ideal rate of gain is 2 lbs a month but I'm a little more than that it seems. I have been getting my strength back and adding weight to the bar every week like the program is constructed. (Hurt my back last fall.) My goal is to honestly get as big as possible. Myfitnesspal calculated my intake to be at 2,590 calories per day to gain 0.5 lb a week, and I chose a sedentary lifestyle so I didn't overshoot my intake. I don't feel like i'm just putting a bunch of fat on, and I can definitely see some size increase in my shoulders/chest, etc. I'm curious if I should back my calories off per day by a couple hundred or continue what I am doing. I'm attaching a pic of my weight measurements since I started keeping track. I typically workout around lunch and don't have a lot to eat beforehand (a little bit of my daily weight gainer shake that I have everyday.) Thanks for any advice.
*Edit. After reading some other threads, I think my problem may be from weighing myself in the middle of the day before lifting. I never had much to eat before that, but still had some food. I'm going to start doing it as soon as I wake up, use the restroom, and gauge it after another month and see where I am. A careless mistake in monitoring my weight. I should have known better.
