Decided to try the David Laid bulking diet after watching his videos. Saw how jacked he got and figured why not give it a shot myself.
The Starting Point
Measured my skinny ass frame first thing Monday morning. Stood on the scale – 145 pounds soaking wet. Took shirtless pics that looked like a damn skeleton. Felt embarrassed but committed anyway.
Figuring Out the Food
Dug through his meal plans online. Realized I needed way more food than usual:
- Started shoving 8 eggs and oatmeal down every damn morning
- Made peanut butter sandwiches constantly
- Ate chicken breasts four times daily like clockwork
- Chugged protein shakes with whole milk after lifts
Counted every single calorie on my phone app. Aimed for 4,000 calories minimum even when my stomach felt ready to explode.
The Training Part
Followed his push/pull/legs split religiously:
- Pushed till my arms shook during bench presses
- Added extra sets when I wasn’t sore enough
- Yelled through last reps on squats like a maniac
The Ugly Parts
Almost puked twice force-feeding rice at midnight. Woke up sweating from eating so much before bed. Constantly felt like I had a damn food baby. Missed eating junk food with friends.
What Changed After 5 Weeks
Stepped on scale yesterday – 158 pounds! Shirts fit tight across shoulders. Finally got vein pop in my biceps. Even my girlfriend noticed chest filling out.
Still got some gut from all them carbs, but hell – the scale’s moving. Learned that gaining takes dirty dedication. No magic tricks, just eating till you hate food and lifting like you owe the gym money.
