Hey guys, I am 19 and currently 172, got some fat on me (belly on, etc.), but I want to get bigger right now, becasue I wrestle in college in october or november and will have to start cutting weight, so I want to eat a lot now and get bigger. The current supplments I take are whey protien, fish oil, mutilvitamin. I am trying to eat a lot more lean maeat like chicken (not freid), trukey, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, egg whites, eggos, etcs. I have a couple of questions regarding bulking up. I got some info from this website. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=1268956

What is the caloire range I am looking at?

I am also worried about eating a lot and then becasue I eat a lot, expanidng my fat cells so I get fat easier. This is a HUGE worry, just because lets face it, noone wants that. Will this happen?

What type of supplements should I take aside from the ones I take there? I do work in gnc, but still dont have too much of a budget since I pay for alot of my things. I was thinking maybe a whey casein mix found at gnc? , or this weight gainer to take once in a while. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2666690&cp&sr=1&origkw=mass+xxx&kw=mass+xxx&parentPage=search I would try the cytogainer, but it has alittle amount of servings.

I was thinking about taking creatine, but I do not know too much about it, and In september I want to get a head start on cutting fat so I do it healthily, so I cant have all taht eextra water in my muscles.

How much calories should I have? I have read the stickies, and Urban seemed to mention in a parat that you should eat a larage vareity of things, including pizza, even ice cream if you want to. But wouldnt that make you fatter? I hear thats unhealthy, and in that article I posted it seems to mention that.

I do bjj 2-4 times a week, so I also keep the cardio up, I dont want to stop training, But I will try and eat more to replace that. I also work fri, sat, and sun, so I work 8 hour shift sometimes and it gets hard to eat a lot in between those hours. Maybe that weight gainer beofere I work to make up for it?

I have high cholestorl, but it is lower, and this is why I want to eat, clean, but a lot, so I can gain strenght to. I m noto worried about that.

Incase your wondering, my lifting routine is good, 3 rep DL, squats, Incline bench press, etc....

WHats the deal with BCAA? is this like a bodybuilder thing.

Sorry for all the questions, if anyone wants to pm me, thats cool. I learne d a lot from you guys (cut weight during wrestling season and didint put it all back :)) If a knowledgable cool cat like Sohan can give suggestions and answeer these questions taht be sweet. Thanks a lot.

Im brasilian, but live in the united states. Really enjoying martial arts.
