What to do when your weight stalls (bulking)

[|D_J^B_J|]

I have stalled in my weight gain for a couple of weeks now.

The logical thing would be to increase my calories, but by how much? I was thinking of increasing by 200kcals. Does this sound reasonable? Too much? Too little?

2000 more? I think that is a shitload of an increase, I would increase 300-500/wk and see how that goes...

200, not 2000.

that is 1400 a week. Should be manageable, just keep a good eye on your LBM

Add a buffett meal to your diet and start smoking weed to increase your hunger.
But on a serious note, i have tried lowering my calories to maintenance level for two weeks then back to bulking calories + an additional 500

thats good advice, try that out for a few week. then go back to bulk and if still not increasing weight, bump up around 3-400 cals. thats as easy as adding a shake in between a meal or 2. thats what i do. But im takin in around 4-5000 calories cuz im on cycle.

More high calorie snacks that are easy to eat like peanut butter, cottage cheese, and have some weight gainer drinks as well. I also set the alarm to wake up in middle of night for a few minutes to eat a snack beside my locker at about 3am. Fuck me, I put on the size!

I agree with that. I eat like a motherfucker for 10 weeks twice a year!
