I used to go to the gym quite a lot, mainly for cardio and other high-intensity workouts, but now I’ve finally decided to stop resisting and start gaining, I’ve come up with a staged plan to prepare to get fat:
- Limit cardio and start lifting weights/dirty bulking so that I build a good frame on which to pile fat
- Gradually replace sessions with WG-oriented pursuit, e.g. replace one session a week with a stuffing instead
- Once I’m big enough, quit the gym entirely
Not only will this hopefully help me with my gain long term, there’s something very hot about slowing and consciously saying goodbye to my old fit self
Has anyone got experience of anything similar. How long did you keep up with the gym after you started your gain. What happened when you finally stopped?

I wouldn't quit the gym entirely, there's still a ton of health benefits to going and it could save you from some heart problems in the future. Reduce it? Sure that'll reduce the number of calories you burn and help you gain faster. But don't cut it out entirely
I second this. Even if you decide to stop going to the gym, you need to be some kind of active just for basic maintenance. When I was actively fattening up my partner to 500 lbs, I made him work out. He didn't like it, but it helped him to keep doing all the other things he loves to do.
Also, exercise can increase your appetite and help you gain more weight.
