BULK-UP PLAN

LET THE GAINS BEGIN
Introduction
Welcome hard gainers to the Bulk Up Plan. This workout, diet and supplement plan is for males seeking to gain serious weight and muscle mass. This is a simple guideline which outlines what exercises to do, what to eat and supplementation to take in order to put on more weight and muscle.
3 Month Plan
All plans generated by Workout Planner are intended to be followed for 3 Months to see desirable results, however you will notice changes in your physique during the process of this plan; generally a little after a week.
Your Workout Plan
In order to properly bulk up, one can't simply just eat their way there unless you want more fat than muscle. Most individuals who are on the thinner side prefer to bulk up with muscle and a little bit of fat, so if you're here to do that, you are in the right place.
Recommendations
I'f you want to bulk up fast, we recommend Dymatize Super Mass Gainer – 12 Lbs., Strawberry. This coupled with proper a healthy diet and regular exercise and you will see incremental progress. This will take time but the work will pay off.
Preface
If you're new to bodybuilding, don't get too discouraged if you can't complete all the exercises at first. You're body will adapt over the next coming weeks to allow you to lift heavier weights and recover faster from training.
Rest Period
Rest for 60 - 90 seconds in between sets. This gives your body a "pump" and builds muscle fast. You can rest for 90 seconds after each exercise.

Your Diet & Supplements
We've taken the hassle out of making your first weeks meal plan. For the next week, just replace the meals below with something else you like that roughly matches the carb, protein, fat and calorie content below (Hint: Use My Fitness Pal to find meals of similar nutritional value).
Try to eat every two hours as this will keep your bodies metabolism anabolic. We can think of metabolism in two ways: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is essentially when your body is starved of nutrients and eats itself, while anabolism is when your body is sufficiently nourished and builds itself.
You want your body to stay in an anabolic state otherwise it will basically self destruct, so keep eating roughly every 2 hours. Also remember to keep drinking lots of water throughout the day. Aim for 8 cups a day to add water weight to your physique and keep hydrated.
Tips
- Add an extra 200 - 500 calories to your meals per day. That will help you gain 1/2 kg in weight each week.

Wednesday is a relaxed day but we recommend eating as much as you can from the get go. Start off with as many Weet Bix you can fit in with fruits and full cream milk mixed in. Follow that up with 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter for morning tea. Try to fit in some protein bars as well and have some fruit. For lunch, have 2 meat pies or sausage rolls then drink some ice coffee or milk afterwards. For the arvo and dinner, just have whatever you want that you think will put you on some weight. Use My Fitness Pal if your a little stuck.
