I've always been light and athletic. But I took a job as a stonemason once, and after the first 2 months of backbreaking work getting used to it etc, my body started to rebel. I suddenly became ravenous about 3-4 times a day. I started to NEED breakfast. And at 10:30am break time, I'd run down the street from our workplace to McDonalds and order 3 BigMacs and 2 cheeseburgers, then at lunch time 1:00PM I'd go back for another BigMac and then across the street to Cooplands and order 4 sausage rolls and 2 apple tarts. Then the second I got home from work a 5:00PM I'd be cooking - starving hungry again. I bulked up in that job, gained 25lbs over a few months, ended up being a shredded middleweight. Lost it all when the company folded 2 years later and I went back to selling tools.
Too bad you had to give it up, things have never been better in the trades especially stonework. I have been a stonemason for over 35 years and even though I am in my mid 50s I still eat like a horse because I work 50+ hours a week.
@@markadler8968 I loved that job. It was daunting at first, I was 11 stone and a peanut, all the fellas in there were huge compared to me. They laughed when they saw me, gave me two weeks!

It was great work but the guy who owned the business was an idiot. A young blond fella, had inherited the firm, and spent all year jetting off around the globe with various dollybirds, always buying new sports cars etc. Didn't care about the business, or buying us new gear or fixing things when they broke down.

I'm 44 y/o, 5'11" & 285 lbs. My BMR nearly 2,200. I usually eat around 3,500 daily. I ate 5,600 yesterday and thought I was gonna die. I still feel bad this morning. I am constantly amazed how much world class strongman athletes consume.
I have spent 15 years trying to put on weight and saw this video hoping I would find some new tips. Unfortunately I already do all these things. I make exactly the same milkshake 2 times a day, in addition to 3 1500 calorie meals and have done for years. I think for some people, we are just wired in slightly different way. My muscle is very dense (as I have been told), and I think just very calorie intensive. At 38, I have now maintained 8% body fat since childhood with virtually no change to body composition except gaining lean muscle mass (6.1 ft tall, 13 stone). The only other factor I can think of, which may be responsible for such stable weight, is use of cannabis. Other people I know have similar experience. Milkshake or smoothie is a great tip for cramming food/protein. Another is, strained yogurt. Very nutritious, high in protein and aids digestion to. FAGE yoghurt is particularly good.
Do you by chance experience any bloating? I spent many years doing the same thing, eating 3-5k calories per day and was never able to exceed 160lb (6’2). Turns out I’m celiac. Once I cut gluten, within 2 months my body started putting on 2-5lb a week for 4 strait months. It might not work, but it doesn’t hurt to try
For anyone in the UK (no idea on availability elsewhere) Arla do a protein yoghurt pouch that can be consumed in about 5 seconds with 20g protein and 5g fat/carbs. No I am not paid by them, but very useful for on the move protein intake
Every study shows that going from 0.7 grams of protein per lean pound of body weight to 0.8 gets you a small marginal improvement in lean mass, and the benefits of going up to 1.0 or above are minuscule. I get it if your job is to put on as much muscle as possible, but for most people, it’s not necessary.
I used to powerlift and I was 6'4 and over 280 lbs at the time. I wasn't counting calories but I would say I was packing in over 10K calories a day. My record was taking 7 dumps before leaving the house at 7am.
@markadler8968 lol, that is crazy. Non need for leg day 😂. Maybe you should of stayed sat down longer, and grabbed yourself a book or watch some hooper vids
Although eating is never the problem for me cause i love to eat ( for the right reasons ofcourse ), During work days finds to be the most difficult. Ill bring like 5 containers of food to eat. unfortunately i dont have a blender there nor do i have my own fridge to keep, for example the orange creamsicle, i do my best to get in as much and if not well then supper is going to be one hell of a dam mission lol. Great video i loved it
Btw 1 calorie (lower case) is the amount of energy needed to raise 1ml of water 1 degree celcius. Nutritional Calories (upper case) equal 1000 calories or 1 kcal.
13 minute video to say: Meat and rice, fast digesting food, liquid calories, go for post meal walks. How about this: Trouble gaining weight? 4 large medjool dates and a scoop of peanut butter is about 500 calories. Eat a spoonful of honey with every meal. Have a high quality chocolate bar after dinner. All together thats thousands of extra calories in very low volume of very palatable food.
Be born with an appetite like me, weight gain is the default. Super easy to put on mass. Cutting is a nightmare, though. I just did that for two months (down 8kg), and that's my limit. Back to maintenance, regain courage, and go again. Btw that protein shake is exactly the same as mine if you add salt and honey. It's a treat. ☺
Mitchell, have you tried your Orange juice and yoghurt mix with anything else than orange juice? I am drinking it almost every day (if I don't run out of it haha) and I was wondering if it would taste good as well when using for example... apple juice, or maybe red fruit mixed juices. Maybe you tried? If not, I will just try this week haha!
I don't think people quite understand how impressive his axle press truly is, the 2nd closest to that is Iron Biby, who pressed 217kg (1kg less) BUT WEIGHED 43KG MORE THAN MITCHELL. HE WAS ALMOST 100LBS HEAVIER, AND MITCH STILL LIFTED JUST AS MUCH. THIS MAN IS 1 IN A MILLION.
@@BreadTeleporter002 to be fair, Biby is 100% absolutely unrefined raw power. If Biby dialed in his technique, he'd probably be 250+. Both are still impressive as hell, though.
@@daltonmason62 while I don't agree he would be 250+ I definitely feel he could have done like, 20 more possibly, but you forget the fact, it's basically his bodyweight, while Mitchell is only around 140-145kg on stage, this axle press is quite legitmately the best lift on axle press, done by a guy who is 100+ lbs smaller than comp, Mitchell also has insane power.
@@BreadTeleporter002 dude did you see Biby strict press something like 240? It looked easy. Just to be clear, I'm in no way saying one way is better than the other. Strongman is an awesome mix of raw power and refined technique. The guys that have the ridiculous power normally don't worry about dialing in technique because they don't have to.
"strong men are the industry standard in eating massive amounts of food" I mean we love you Mitch, but we all know there are only really 2 contenders for that spot, Competitive eaters and galaxy sized individuals.
I imagine the industry he's referring to is the fitness industry, and in that case, strong men are the industry standard in eating massive amounts of food.
@@MC-ep8cu They are still the best at fitting food in their mouth, I am aware they are not fat, that is not because they don't eat a lot but its because they know how to balance their diet perfectly after eating shit tonnes, I would still consider them the best at eating.
@BreadTeleporter002 the claim wasn't who is industry leader at eating most amount of food in a short amount of time or who is best at eating, it was eating the most amount of food over a long period of time. Tbf I think they should ask nikado avocado or lizzo. 😆
@@MC-ep8cu most competitive eaters do not eat that much for the whole week. This is because having less fat around the stomach is an advantage since it lets the stomach stretch more. Eating massive amounts of food in a day isn't going to get you big, and if you think about it on a weekly basis, then it isnt even a massive amount of food. strongmen definetely eat way more on a consistent basis.
be lean any you will have all the appetite in the world. Also trick with eating fast is stupid as you will digest food for much longer and you will not be hungry for next meal. You need to chew very good and you will fit more food in your gut and it will digest faster. I have done eating competitions being lean and when I am over 20% bf I do not have appetite.
Mitch, any thoughts on keto? Ive had good results dropping weight on it plus it greatly reduces inflammation. I dont believe gaining muscle on it is possible...but IDK.
Carnivore is basically zero carb. It’s even lower carb than keto aims to be! It’s simply a variant of the same thing. So yes, you can gain muscle on keto. Keto emphasizes fat, but you can get significant fat on carnivore if you don’t eat lean meats. Meat is part of keto diet, it’s just not restricted to meat.
The amount of people asserting that you shouldn't consider calories is a little concerning here. It's a simple concept yet they want to say that calories are energy and energy doesn't have mass are kinda missing the point. If you want to manage your weight you can either eat more calories or less calories and your weight will go up or down. It feels like a lot of Bart Kay students here.
@@snaxximan5737 all food has calories, is a convenient measurement of the energy stored in the food. The body then takes that food and uses what it can for energy and the rest is stored as fat. It's not a 100% but it is close enough
@@andrewzach1921 this is simplified so much that its wrong. protein for example is rarely used up for energy and is mostly used as building material for your muscles and cells but yet it has 4 calories in it. why is that? protein is also not converted into fat. so thats also wrong. most plant material isnt even digested and comes out of your ass. so where do those calories go? do you weigh your poop amount and calculate how many calories you pooped out? i guess you dont. you are oversimplifying something very complex. if you want something simple do mass in, mass out.
@@snaxximan5737 all you have to do is calculate how much protein you need like Mitch and everyone says. At least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Then split the difference in calories between carbs and fats. A super rough guess for calories is multiply your body weight by 10 and that will be your basic needs for calories. Eat that amount everyday for a week or two, if you lose weight and you don't want to slightly increase the calories across the board and go for another week or two. Keep doing that until you stay at the body weight you want or you look at yourself in the mirror and if you are good then you stay at that level of calories. Or reverse it if you are gaining weight. Our philosophies aren't that different if you think about it, calories and mass are similar but some foods have a lot of calories for their mass.
What do you actually increase when you say "increase your calories"? Are you talking about replacing lettuce with butter or do you mean you eat more food? Because if you mean replacing low calorie food with high calorie food then you are not factoring in your metabolism. If you are fat adapted, which everyone should be, you will use fat as energy and not store it. so replacing lettuce with butter in that example will not lead to weight gain. plenty of people have proven this calories in, calories out idea wrong by simply adding 3500kcal to their daily diet in form of butter. No additional exercise nothing else. just adding 500g of butter a day to the stuff they normaly eat. and they lost weight. Your concept isnt working.
Can you explain the 1g/lb of body weight more? They say the average man needs ~2000 calories/day. If I am around 210 (18% fat). 210g protein is 840 calories, assuming you ate only isolate sources, that’s about 933 calories actually consumed (~90% is best I could find for protein powder g protein / g of total consumed). How are you supposed to hit any of your other macro nutrient goals, with only ~1100 calories remaining?
A general rule of thumb is 1g protein/lb of body weight to gain muscle. The Average man needs 2k Cal’s per day to just live. That’s without any other movement or exercise. If you’re RMR is 2000, if you’re even moderately active you’ll be burning over 3000 in a day total. You just need to plan your meals, know what calories are in each one etc. seems daunting at first but once you get your head around it it just becomes second nature.
The FDA uses 2000kcal as an average recommended daily intake. Do not use it though. Example, a person who is 6'5" who eats 2000kcal is going to look a lot different than a person who is 4'4" who eats the same. Stick to using your BMR. There are a lot formulas to figuring this out and they all have different outcomes. (but pretty close to each other) I find 10kcal per lbs of body weight to be a pretty good jumping off point. Next is to determine your macro split. This is the split that divides the P/C/F percentages from your total kcal. This depends on your training. A general split would be something like 30/50/20. Then figure your daily activity or exercise kcal expenditure. Lets say it 500kcal. So formula for maintaining BW would be, BMR + activity kcals = daily kcals. So at 210lbs of BW would be 210 x 10 + 500 = 2600. Macro split = 2600 x 30% = 780kcal/195g protein, 2600 x 50% = 1300kcal/325g carb, 2600 x 20% = 520kcal/57g fat.
Every year I transition from running to lifting weights. Half the year is running and the other half is lifting weights. I have put on 20 pounds so far this year. I love running and I love lifting weights, but I don't like running while lifting weights. 🤷♂
Have you considered lifting all year round, only running 20 mins on your alternate off ( non weight days) days six months per year, the other six months, run longer durations? Something to that effect?

Actually ghrelin UPREGULATES apetite (More ghrelin = more hunger, not the other way around). And leptin does the opposite, makes you feel fuller.

No missing leg day!
My large appetite always made bulking easy, but as a hypertrophy bro cutting is a struggle. Maybe I chose the wrong path.
Same brah, 4000 calories a day, could easily eat 5000+ consistently if I didn't gain excess fat from it
Cutting is hard for everyone. That's the natural human response.
Cutting and bulking is a fad IMO.
Main gain all the way. Much better for your internal health and requires less discipline.

Our philosophies aren't that different if you think about it, calories and mass are similar but some foods have a lot of calories for their mass.
What do you actually increase when you say "increase your calories"?
Are you talking about replacing lettuce with butter or do you mean you eat more food?
Because if you mean replacing low calorie food with high calorie food then you are not factoring in your metabolism. If you are fat adapted, which everyone should be, you will use fat as energy and not store it. so replacing lettuce with butter in that example will not lead to weight gain.
plenty of people have proven this calories in, calories out idea wrong by simply adding 3500kcal to their daily diet in form of butter. No additional exercise nothing else. just adding 500g of butter a day to the stuff they normaly eat. and they lost weight.
Your concept isnt working.
Can you explain the 1g/lb of body weight more? They say the average man needs ~2000 calories/day. If I am around 210 (18% fat). 210g protein is 840 calories, assuming you ate only isolate sources, that’s about 933 calories actually consumed (~90% is best I could find for protein powder g protein / g of total consumed). How are you supposed to hit any of your other macro nutrient goals, with only ~1100 calories remaining?
A general rule of thumb is 1g protein/lb of body weight to gain muscle. The Average man needs 2k Cal’s per day to just live. That’s without any other movement or exercise. If you’re RMR is 2000, if you’re even moderately active you’ll be burning over 3000 in a day total. You just need to plan your meals, know what calories are in each one etc. seems daunting at first but once you get your head around it it just becomes second nature.
The FDA uses 2000kcal as an average recommended daily intake. Do not use it though. Example, a person who is 6'5" who eats 2000kcal is going to look a lot different than a person who is 4'4" who eats the same. Stick to using your BMR. There are a lot formulas to figuring this out and they all have different outcomes. (but pretty close to each other) I find 10kcal per lbs of body weight to be a pretty good jumping off point. Next is to determine your macro split. This is the split that divides the P/C/F percentages from your total kcal. This depends on your training. A general split would be something like 30/50/20. Then figure your daily activity or exercise kcal expenditure. Lets say it 500kcal. So formula for maintaining BW would be, BMR + activity kcals = daily kcals. So at 210lbs of BW would be 210 x 10 + 500 = 2600. Macro split = 2600 x 30% = 780kcal/195g protein, 2600 x 50% = 1300kcal/325g carb, 2600 x 20% = 520kcal/57g fat.
So on that 1000 calorie shake, how much exactly is a scoop? Half cup, cup?
I don't see that equation linked anywhere below.
Every year I transition from running to lifting weights. Half the year is running and the other half is lifting weights. I have put on 20 pounds so far this year. I love running and I love lifting weights, but I don't like running while lifting weights. 🤷♂
Have you considered lifting all year round, only running 20 mins on your alternate off ( non weight days) days six months per year, the other six months, run longer durations? Something to that effect?
my guy was trying so hard to not say poop more
Taking anything Robert Oberst says as fact. 🤣
You talk about scales but not water weight. I prefer seamstress tape.
Use both along with monthly pictures

Do strongmen bulk and cut?
Often bulk a couple of weeks before a show, more if the show is particularly heavy like SMOE in two weeks.
