I've read DIESELs Guide To Bulking site and from what he says it should last no longer than 8 weeks or so, otherwise your body would be stressed out. Today was my first work out at the Gym and my trainer said it would require 6 months to bulk. He also recommended me to eat three times a day (unlike what this health forum implies)... Any advice? By the way, I'm 5 foot 9 weighing 147 pounds... how do I find my body fat %? Thanks.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Bulking takes 6 months?!?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Some people skip meals... For example one of my friends always skips breakfast because "it makes me feel hungryer if it eat breakfast"
3 meals a day is better than skipping a meal
3 meals a day is better than skipping a meal
Eat six times a day.
When DIESEL says 8 weeks, he says to cycle it in 8 week increments so that your body doesn't get super overloaded for a long time... you need to let your body rest for a week every 8 weeks and then continue your bulking. There's no SET time for how long it will take you to bulk, it all depends on how much weight you want to gain, but I'd recommend a week off every 8 weeks, don't even go to the gym that week... let your body recover.

how can you say bulking takes 8 week how cna you say it takes 6 months, how long is a piece of string? you bulk, diffrent people for a start want diffrent things its not somthing you can just say takes x time to do, how long does it to get in to reasonablle fitness? well the first question is what do you cal l esonable fitness, same thing as bulking you cant just say its gona take a certain amount of time!
i assume the trainer means that with hard work, people will genuinly say, wowee.. u've put on weight.. i've beeing going to gym seriously now for a month, people only say "you're looking bigger" if i flex for them..
by 6 months, i assume people will definently be able to notice the bulking i've done even whilst wearing clothes.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Like someone posted earlier, do your bulking in cycles. A 6-8 week bulking cycle is enough to produce noticible results. Take a week off after each cycle and restart the cycle again. You wont look like the hulk after your first bulking cycle, but you will have noticible results.
