Carbs

That's a ton of carbs so you're probably going to have to go liquid. As mentioned, Dextrose is an option. It's cheap on Amazon but you could also just buy something you actually like to drink. I down local apple cider at every meal for example. I also eat a fuck ton of potatoes as I find it's easier to eat than rice. That's how I get about 400G of carbs a day.

Weight gainer protein powder(I use a very clean one), and lots of rice milk. Also, eating every meal with lots of carbs helps(lasagnas, tacos, burritos, big servings of potatoes/rice, etc).

Complex carbs before workout and throughout the day, simple carbs are best right after workout and right after waking up.

Baked sweet potatos in tupperware on top of what you're already eating.

Who said you have to eat all the carbs before the workout?

Forgetting about practicality, it’s better giving your muscles some carbs post workout for recovery.

Why are you eating so much carbs? Unless you are a bodybuilder the size of Ronnie Coleman or a Powerlifter I don’t understand. Could you give a background of your lifting experience?

ThinkerK · 2019-11-28T14:15:13+00:00

You can’t lift shit because you are a novice lifter and you need to have patience... 350g of protein seems a bit excessive and 600g of carbs is as well. If you are seeing results then do you, you have probably developed more fat then you think because everyone has fat, if your goal is only to put on weight then keep doing what you are doing but if you want to put on quality muscle you will have to play the long game, eat less then what you are eating, follow a proper programme and be patient. You can’t be expect to put on massive amounts of muscle in only a year span. Btw I’m 5’9 174 Bench 275 Squat 350 Deadlift 450 Overhead press 140 probably around 18% body fat, I’m natural and been lifting for 3 years. It doesn’t happen overnight. My macros are around 150g Protein and 100g Carbs and I don’t watch my fats cuz I eat pretty clean. I can eat like this and gain, you are only 10 pounds heavier. I think you need to re-evaluate how much food you are eating, you are eating like an enhanced bodybuilder weighing over 200lbs. What type of programme are you doing currently?

Well you are already strong. Just be patient man. Personally since you weigh 185, 250g of protein and 250g of carbs should be more than enough to grow. Play the long game man. 600g of carbs daily not good and probably will mess your insulin sensitivity up. The last thing you want is to develop diabetes. Also adequate rest is a factor most people look over. Get your 7 to 9 hours of rest and allow at least two rest days a week and you will allow your body to grow and recover. Remember the gym is to break down the muscle and the growth happens when the muscle recovers and comes back bigger and stronger
