help building bulk

hi this is my first thread i was just woundering what was the best way to some size on my dog with out going down the roid road any tips would be greatfull

 

Wow, I think she looks great. Thing is, pitbulls are NOT meant to be ultra bulky dogs. Good food and exercise is great but genetics will determine how muscular she is.


Dogs really can't "bulk up" the same way humans can. Be VERY careful because a lot of things newbies think will build bulk in fact will just injure a dog.

 

pennsooner you hit the nail on right on the head

 

How old is your dog? Has he had a chance to mature? These factors and the ones stated above are what you need to look at.

 

I think the dog looks good as well. China'smom has a good point, what is the age of the dog.

If you're looking to add some definition and muscle density the following things will really help:

-spring pole
-flirt pole
-weightpulling/dragweight (get a proper fitting harness)
-walking
-biking w/ your dog
-fetch, fetch, fetch
-weighted collar (some like it; some don't, I have never used one)
-treadmill/slatmill/carpetmill (I have my dogs go at a large incline)

 

he's 2yrs old now iv tryed most of the above but it doesnt seem to work i think i'll cut his walk and runs down and go for more intense weight pull but just not as long iv got him on the highest proten dog food i can find were i live its 28%pro i dont think it'll be doing the dog any good if it were more proten than that

 

Walking is one of the best exercises you can do for your dog, provided he is getting what he needs food wise. And again, he will only look as good as genetics will let him. Example: If there is a lot of small backends in his ped, then he will probably have one too. If they are wide in front, chances are he will be wide also. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? If he is genetically lanky that's just him. I think he looks pretty good.

 

I don't know why you would want to add sizeto that dog, it looks fine. These dogs aren't meant to be bulky dogs but rather have a long lean muscle. You could add a little mass to your dog by doing a little drag weight and flirt pole but I doubt you will get the "size" that you are looking for if by size you mean "bulk". Are you really considering roids ? A raw meat based diet will do wonders if you wan't a "ripped" dog. I hope this helps.

Your dog looks good, looks like what ever you been doing is working. What's up with that twine lead?

 

I'm with everybody just walk and exercise the best thing for him. Long walks good for you and him!

 

First of all if you are giving him good feed and doing those exercises he should be more muscular. Start him on a canine all wormer so you know he is free of parasites and get your self some wheat germ oil this will help put weight on and will put shine on his coat.

Hey ChDynomite how long have you've been usin the wheat germ oil?

 

Jblaze i have been using it for years but i went the past year without using it . i just started again because their coats have been a little dry and i want to bulk them up so fare its made a good improvement it always does but i also add flax-seed and fish oils to their food.

 

Your dog looks fine....

 

yeah, that dog looks good the way it is. Great answers have been typed already for your question.

 

hi thanks for all the help i wasnt wanting to put loads of mass 1 1/2 2 pounds at the most if i wanted a loads of mass i would av oppted for the hippo type

 

You want your dog to be as lean as possible. Think middleweight boxer
