Hi, I'm new to the forums and somewhat new to bulking. I am 6' 2", 19 years old and I weigh 143lbs. I am the definition of skinny. I used to work out regularly and hit the gym about 5 times a week doing heavy weight and low rep exercises (machines/free weights) and it was working great I was lifting more and getting toned. But I was not putting on weight (maybe 1-2 pounds a month) and I was still staying so skinny. My bodyfat is fairly low its at around like 14%.
My main concern is my metabolism. Its rediculously high, I can eat just about anything and never see its results. I just started a Bulking diet, I normally take in around 1500-2000 calories a day as I have a tendency to not eat full meals.
The diet I created has me eating about 4 large meals a day with snacks in between. its 4,600 Calories (With a protein shake) and 307 grams of protein. I know this seems like a durastic change but i've been on it for about 2 days now and I can suprisingly consume that amount food with a fair effort. I weighed 140 lbs about 2 days ago and now am at 143-144. These weights are taken both in the morning before i've eaten/drank and after a bowel movement. I think these gains are rediculous.
My main question is should I work out alot now or should I give myself a few weeks to pack on the pounds? What are the downsides of putting on so much weight?
*I don't mind a bit of fat, I'm not looking to be ripped at the moment I just want a general base. My goal is to be around 170lbs in 3 months (or so I hope).
