    I've been doing that with a carb cycle. Where some days I bump my intake from 3k - 3.75k calories by putting in a extra meal or so. I hopped back on some Creatine too hoping to help retain some more weight and saw some increase over the last month but still nothing to drastic like I thought.

    Make sure you are getting close to your body weight in grams of protien per day and 0.4grams of fat per pound of body weight AS A MINIMUM.

    Be consistent with caloric intake. I don't see the need to cycle carbs in a bulk. But as long as you hit your protien and fat minimums and eat enough cals do what you want with your carbs.

    Just be consistent with calories don't bounce back and fourth. It helps you keep track of progress better.

    I agree with upping the calories 500 and see how it goes.

    BTW your squat never sucks if you can squat. Most people don't get off their dead end ass to do it. :thumbsup:

    Biggest suggestion. Don’t listen to anything @ThunderCookies says ever. He’s the resident fuckboi.

    You could definitely get away with 5-700 cal more a day and get some serious benefits from it. You said “close to 3k” meaning you are not truly tracking it. So go a week and see what it is your true intake daily for 7 days then hit adjust up 500 for two weeks.

    What is your program for building strength?

    Knee sleeves, increase fish oil, a good d vitamin compound increase your fat intake as well (cleanly) and come see me in 2 months when you can still “barely get 100” I guarantee that gets you some sort of relief and progress.

    Shit you're right...

    Somewhat am I use that myfitnesspal app. Not religiously though. Doing PHAT right now 5 days on 2 off with active rest. I was doing the Arnold blueprints and some of Jonathan poston's stuff but PHAT is what I usually swing back too in the winter. Guess what I am looking for is keeping mass but shred the existing fat I have.

    for those who don't know PHAT:

    1- Upper Body Heavy
    2-Lower Body Heavy
    3-Rest
    4- Hypertrophy Back and Shoulders
    5- Hypertrophy Legs
    6 - Chest and Arms
    7- Rest

    I know there are a few 165 pounders in here that can bench 315 but having wee man length arms help?

    Well, no gym today because I'm putting a lift on my truck after work. Also maxing out on squats tomorrow, so I wanna go in well-rested. Last max one month ago, I got 405. Goal is to get at least 10 lbs more than that.


    For your weight/height, that is an extremely impressive bench. But if you're that strong, why is your deadlift and squat so low? For reference, a good guideline is squat is supposed to be 100 lbs higher than bench and deadlift is supposed to be 100 lbs higher than squat. Sounds like someone's been skipping leg day :stirthepot:

    Carb cycling on a bulk

    My beard is better than his.

    Other than that, we’re the same person.
