And also why a bro split is sub-par unless Ifyou're eating 500 cals one day and 'X' calories the next and still gaining weight thats a hint to a bad diet because I would find it hard to eat 3500+ calories in one day without eating bad foods. (2000 cal day x 2 = 3000 - 500 = 3500. You'd have to eat MORE than this to gain) So the advice I gave was directed at someone with a more typical Lookingfor some motivation.
