Fellow 6 footer here. Currently on a 6500 calorie per day bulk. Thinking about upping the calorie because I'm hitting a plateau
>>
>>40622721
im 13% bf 73 kg 5'8", and I'm bulking with 3500 calories, so I'm pretty sure its way more than mine for you
>>
Completely depends on the person, just eat what you think is right and if you are getting the results you want then your golden and if you dont then eat more

Its not rocket science

This thread is massive aids

>6500 calorie per day bulk
I am working on construction sides 5 days a week while working out in the evening and even I don't have such a high TDEE.

Are you serious about this number?
>>
>>40622721
I'm 6'1 / 175 / 13%ish and bulk on 4100 kcal / day and it's a pretty slow bulk. My maintenance is aroubd 3600-3700 i think

There's no way 3000 is sufficient
>>
>>40622721

i swear this place is filled with retards. you guys aren't mr. olympia's

3000 calories is fucking plenty for OP. after your first years of lifting you can expect to put like 5-10lbs of muscle a year. and obviously even the 10lbs is WAYYYY too much after 3-5 years of lifting.

the sad thing is most ppl falling for the bulk meme gain 5-10lbs in a MONTH, not year. we are looking at something like 10% of muscle and 90% of weight per 1lb of weight.

the excess FAT does NOT make you a big guy fucking idiots. no one thinks you look impressive with those 25% fatceps.

if you are putting over 2lbs of weight per month you probably should look into reducing your calorie intake because you are starting to gain too much fat.

>>40622721
4500

>>40627579
Jesus, I'm trying to bulk at 3000, but I can barely take 2700 calories a day. What should I eat/drink?

It should be, but it will be a slow bulk. I'm 6' 180 and I maintain with 2700 calories.
>>
>>40622721

I'm 6'6 205lbs and eat 3500-4000 calories per day, though I also row, so if you don't do a lot of cardio 3000 should be fine
>>
>>40629268

>>
>>40622721
how do I achieve this mode? how much should i be able to lift to achieve? mirin hard btw no homo i swear
>>
I used the TDEE calc and added 500 cals for bulking. it comes out to 2,775 cals. thats light as fuck I've been getting like 3,700 a day. Is that too much? I'm 5'11" manlet king and weigh 130 pounds
>>
>>40627579
You are going to get fat as fuck and regret it, unless you are endurance athlete
>>
I'm 5"10, eat 3,150 a day and still wake up feeling emaciated. I might have absorption issues.
>>
>>40631749
tfw when you're a 5'6 manlet that reps with 215 and bulk on 2700 cals :) actually my bulk is between 2200-3000.

>>
>>40622721
3000 is about maintenance for 200 lbs so you're probably good OP
>>
>>40639483
I'm 200lbs and I maintain with 4500 calories. Unless OP is bedridden 3000 is not enough
>>
Find your maintenance, do not use calculators they dont work.

Im 6ft and 200lb my maintenance is only 2500kcal, and bulk on 2800kcal.
>>

>7lbs of muscle
>>
>>40645337
I switch it up but a usual one would be: 4 set pull ups, 4 sets bent over rows, 4 sets last pull downs, 4 sets close grip cable rows
>>
>>40622721
What's ur full routine/split?
No homo
>>
>>40622721
3000 is probably your TDEE. Slap on 300-500 calories on top of that and you're golden.
