Taken getting close to the end. I didn't get as lean as I wanted, but here it is.

I did a carb cycle and put my high days on legs and back, on low days i just had carbs in my first meal.
when this was taken i was 165, since then ive slowly been putting on some weight and im up around 175 right now.

i've been trying to bring up my lats cause i think that's a low point, any constructive criticism is helpful :)

Lookin good man. I am going to start cutting down after the holidays(like everyone) I have been trying to bulk since I broke my hand and was out of the gym for 2 months.
 
Lookin' solid and lean dawg.:igok:

Posing tip 101 for ya from DPH ;) > Dont pull your elbows back so far when hitting a front-double-bi shot bcoz:

1 - makes your pecs disappear
2 - narrows your lat width
3 - makes your arms look smaller

...position your elbows so they are about 4-6 inches in front of your ears...not directly out to the side of your ears. Illusion brah. ;)
 
solid tip hank i busted that out in the mirror just now

thanks errebody
 
for reference, here's a pic taken about 5 months before

Actually I was wondering if one of the vets on here could give me a hand, I've been trying to put on the weight but it's slowed down lately at around 175 (still with some abs), id really like to push it to 185-190.

ill list what im eating, it's not the exact same thing everyday like it was when i was dieting:

M1: 1 cup oatmeal, 3 tbsp peanut butter, 2 scoops of whey (45g protein)

*gym* peri-workout: sip on 300 ml of orange juice watered down so i don't get too much sugar at once

M2: post workout: cup of orange juice, 2 scoops of whey, usually eat some whole fruit too or put it all in a blender with some frozen

M3: cup of rice (measured when its uncooked) and something that has ~30 grams of protein (tuna, salmon fillet, chicken)

M4: same as before

M5: ill be hitting the hay around this point so its usually, 2 scoops of whey in 2 cups of milk


if i'm staying up longer ill add another meal in between 4 and 5 where i have some more carbs+protein

on non-workout days the peri and post meals get substituted for 1 meal with carbs+protein. training 4 days a week.

if the weight gain has slowed down, is it a simple matter of adding more calories? I don't count them every day, but every once in a while ill look at what im eating and it hits around 3000-3500

ive gone from 160 - 175 in about a month and a half, so maybe im just getting too anxious, but if i cut all my water weight ill drop to about 170 like i did a couple weeks ago just to assess where im at.

Thats killa gains dude...keep doing what you're doing...dont fix what isnt broken. ;) The gains will keep coming, but certainly not as fast as from jump. Also remember, as you gain more muscle, your going to need to eat more to sustain it...let alone grow.
 
alright ill keep on keeping on. don't have a scale at home so ill weigh in when the new semester starts around jan 7.

i would add meats / proteins (not just whey) to meal 1,2, & 5

maybe a simple carb to meal 2 PWO -- edit: i guess OJ could count... with the sugar

way ahead of you bro, in an effort to get in more calories in i've added another meal with carbs + protein on workout days and fats+protein on non workout.

up 5 lbs :)
 
i wanted to update this thread as ive been away for a bit. im continuing to bulk until the end of this month, right now im sitting anywhere from 190-195.

ive had a good bulk the last 4-5 months, haven't really put on a lot of fat, and ive had plenty of time to let the muscle mature so i dont lose it all as soon as i start dieting.

dieting starts in a month, ill cut up for summer and assess my condition, if i feel im up to par there is a competition in september ill be looking into. goal is BF <5%

ill be taking t3 and clen, along with a few other supps :flipoffha
