I posted this in another section but saw this Q&A and figured go straight to the source. You can delete this and answer it under the training section if you would like. Thanks.

I would be absolutley greatful for advice from a paraplegic's experience with BULKING :D Now as I said in another thread I went from 180 to 135 from diet and weight training. Strength gains up the yin yang! And when I tried to turn it around and gain lean mass from a combination of Chicken, Fish, Turkey burgers and protein shakes I could not for the life of me put on mass. I remember one week I actually lost weight and I lifted heavier, decreased reps and thought I had more than enough calories but apparently not.

Now here's my dilemma. I ate so much that I could not eat anymore and there is a threshold that if I crossed in excessive eating I cause digestive problems (if you know what I mean) such as cramping...What are some tricks on getting this food down and are there alternatives to trading solid foods for more liquified easily digested sources of protein besides the protein shakes? Should I have gone with weight gainers? When I started I was told there is no substitute for REAL FOOD and shakes and stuff are supposed to be a small portion of the diet. Any advice would be great.

Also if you can post an example of your bulking diet it would kill the curiousity in this cat as I have wondered from a paraplegic bodybuilder's perspective for YEARS.

Here's an example of what I would consume in a day.

Meal 1 = 1 Cup oatmeal, yogurt and Protein Shake (30grams)
Meal 2 = Protein Shake
Meal 3 = Chicken breast and sweet potato
Meal 4 = Protein Shake
Meal 5 = Fish and brown rice, Chicken and sweet potato or Turkey burger whole grain bun.
Meal 6 = 2% milk/protein shake or 1 cup Cottage cheese

And where I discovered problems was trying to substitute meal 2 or meal 4 with another replica of meal 3 or meal 5. I would just get digestive issues. I had veggies floating around there somewhere as well such as asparagus or green beans. I'm thinking my answer is simple and instead of protein shakes I should have done a weight gainer or an MRP, RTD...I was also thinking egg whites in the morning. It's just hard for a 135 lb para to digest all of that AND discouraging that no weight was gained. I did however get stronger. I was able to lift more every week.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also love to see a combination of your overall schedule between supplements, nutrition and workout. I think I could gain a lot from this insight.

Great question! Get this... I was 182 lbs at Nationals (March 21) and last night I weighed 200 lbs (April 11) LOL I've been eating LOL

To put on mass and not put on too much excess bodyfat is a thin line for people in chairs. The key to a "bulking" phase is the amount of carbs in the diet and to get ripped is the about of carbs in the diet lol

To get bigger you just need to eat more with more carbs, that way it will give you more energy and increase the poundage that you lift and when you want to get ripped lower the carbs and increase the cardio. Finding the thin line is what makes the a person become the best that they can be.

An average bodybuilder's goal is to achieve 3-5 lbs of lean muscle mass per year, wheelchair bodybuilder 2-3 lbs of lean muscle mass a year.

I have heard that too, when people say that there is no substitute for Real Food... That's great for them but I do a 50/50 diet with food and supplements. Para's & Quads digestion react different I've noticed over the years.

Here's an example bulking diet:

Meal 1 = True Mass http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/true.html (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/true.html)
Meal 2 = 10 Egg Whites, Oatmeal (30-50 grams of Carbs worth)
Meal 3 = Torrent http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/torr.html (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/torr.html)
Meal 4 = 8-12 oz Chicken, Fish, Lean Stake & 50 Grams of Carbs - From Oatmeal or Sweet Potatoes
Meal 5 = 2 Scoops of Whey with 2 Tbsp of All Natural Peanut Butter http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html)
Meal 6 = 8-12 oz Chicken, Fish, Lean Stake & 20-30 Grams of Carbs - From Oatmeal or Sweet Potatoes

With Protein - Bodybuilder really just stick with Chicken, Fish, Tuna, Lean Beef, & Protein Shakes. Target 30-50 grams of Protein Per Meal

With Carbs - Bodybuilders really just stick to complex carbs like Oatmeal, Sweet Potatos, Brown Rice, whole wheat. Target 30-75 grams of Carbs Per Meal

There are many combos but as long as you keep taking in more calories then you use, you will get bigger. Zig Zag the calories throughout the week so it keeps your body guessing. And give it time... Lift Heavy with 8-12 reps and eat somewhere around that diet and if your not gaining you need to add more calories.

Great advice! I was sort of on this track but probably my carbs weren't in check and I could have used a heavier caloric protein like True Mass. I saw ronnie coleman pounding true mass on his invincible dvd.

:cool:ahhh this is the Thread you were talking about, I answered you here. I'll keep this one in here just incase ppl don't look in my Thread.

As for supplement combos, what are you taking right now and when? Then i'll tell you what I take and you can compare lol :cool: lol

haha :D

Right now i'm trying to lower Body Fat % after a break from lifting and dieting. I should only have a few more pounds to go (so far lost 10LB's in the past 5 weeks) and then it's on to bulking. When i was bulking I would increase protein shakes for breakfast and post workout and I would also do Green Bulge and Nitric Oxide pre workout but the below is what I'm currently taking.

1 scoop of ON 100% Whey double choclate with my oats and fat free yogurt for breakfast.

Then I take one a day mens vitamin, 1200 mg Fish oil, 1000 mg vitamin C in the morning 30 minutes after breakfast during the weekdays. On weekends when I usually have my heavy lifting workouts for muscle groups such as back I would take Animal Pak instead of one a day. Actually I think I do this just to save the good stuff for the good workout days but I should probably switch it up and start taking Animal Pak everyday.

During Workout i'll drink Scivation Xtend.

Post Workout i'll take another scoop of ON Whey with a meal to follow after 30-40 minutes.

I used to take L-Glutamine before I got the Scivation Xtend. Not sure if I should pop 600mg of Glutamine before bed or if the Scivation Xtend is good enough for a days worth.

You have a Great Supplement Stack and how you are going about it. You could take the Post Workout Shake sooner (right after or 15 mins after). I recomend you taking simple carbs right after your workout to help with Protein Synthesis. Universal Torrent is a Great Post Workout Shake, but i'll take another serv of a different protein or eat within an hour to get some more protein.

Try taking another 1200 mg of Flax/Fish Oil right before you go to bed for awhile and see how goes for you. MCT Oil is an awesome fat to add to the diet for additional calories and to help burn fat. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/mctoil.html

Hi Scott,

I am not getting much progress on my chest. I have been benching for the past 6 months, doing every angle. I don't think it's a problem with diet, my arms are getting pretty big. Any suggestions?

Thank you
Christopher
