*IE: Intermittent EATING! The KEY To MASSIVE GAINS
By Ross Erstling
I've already discussed my philosophy of EATING LESS OFTEN while BULKING in order to gain weight. Eating every 2 hours is just foolish DOGMA and is not only unneccesary, it's not even OPTIMAL. In other words, you are wasting your time and efforts.
Lot's of guys are starting to employ "IF"(intermittent fasting) as a system for weight-loss. Well, I am here to tell you that you can also use a similar system for BULKING. I call it "IE"; Intermittent EATING. Here is a typical day for me when I am not in the office:
Wake up around 1:30-2:00pm
Sit on the computer until around 3:30pm
Eat a MASSIVE meal at 4:00pm(2,000 cals+)
More business on the computer/phone from 4:30-5:30pm
Drink a cup of coffee and TRAIN LIKE A MANIAC at 6:15pm(2-3 hours)
Finish workout around 8:30-9:00pm
Smoke a bowl of fine Cannabis and sip on some water
9:30-10:00 I begin my FEAST! Usually begins with an appetite stimulating glass of Pinot Noir red wine(which has the higest concentration of Resveratrol; great for reducing estrogen and increasing androgen receptor sensitivty)and then I eat a MASSIVE MEAL(2,000-3,000 cals+). It takes me over an hour to eat this meal.
Relax from 12:00-2:00
2:30-3:00am Eat a snack before bed, usually a big serving of greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or more meat, with either fruit or mixed nuts.(1,000 cals+)
3:30-4:00am SLEEP!! POWER SLEEP!(10-12hours+)
Eating this way enables me to consume A TON OF CALORIES, and by consuming them in this PATTERN, I know for a fact that I STORE MORE OF MY FOOD AS MUSCLE TISSUE. Give it a try and thank me later!!
I believe that I stay lean year round because I train for 2-3 hours 5-6 days per week. Just like the old school guys, I allow my TRAINING to burn calories, it's a POWERFUL form of CARDIO! LOTS of supersets, I always train at least 2-3 muscles per workout! I burn THOUSANDS of calories this way, something you can NOT do on a treadmill.
I also don't OVERDO it with "treats", but I do NOT restrict my total calories AT ALL when bulking. Eat as much REAL WHOLE FOOD as you possibly can, consisting of all types of high quality MEATS, CARBS, and even loads of fats(mostly good). Actually, eating this way, intermittently, also contributes to my ability to stay lean year-round. Give it a shot, I believe that the body processes foods BETTER eating in this type of pattern.
SOME TIPS FOR INCREASING APPETITE: *The best way to stimulate appetite is to TRAIN YOUR MOTHERFUCKING ASS OFF!!! I mean NON-STOP, HIGH INTENSITY SHIT, for 2-3 hours STRAIGHT!! SWEAT POURING OFF YOU!! 20+ sets per muscle, multiple muscles, all supersetted with almost no rest the entire time. Your HGH/IGF/Interleukin-5 levels will be THROUGH THE ROOF!
Also, consume WINES and BEERS in moderation. The YEAST in Guinness will definitely increase your appetite while providing some good carbs on it's own. Red wine is my appetite stimulant at night post workout. You'll eat wayyyy more food if you are buzzed.
Lastly--GET EXCITED TO EAT! Visualize the food traveling to your SORE MUSCLES with each and every bite. This is all MENTAL at the end of the day, so always work WITH the mind and not against it..
