exactly!

 

No Homo..... Here are some progress pics. First pic is me ~200 lbs second is currently @192 lbs. I would like to get down to around 180-185. I am about 5'9-10



I blurred out my bulge lol


I need to start doing more cardio.

 

Do you count macros?

 

Not really. I guesstimate about how much protein/fat I consume with eat meal.
Like for breakfast, I'll do a burger patty, some bacon, and an egg or two. I usually try to get around 40ish grams of protein per meal. If I go under or over a bit I'm not too worried about it. I try to keep my fat up there with my protein, so at times I'll smash some canned coconut milk, or grab a couple handfuls of pistachios or something. I'm not adding them up and measuring, just trying to shoot for a general amount. Quick and easy.
Never really measure my carbs. I don't consume anything other then meat and veggies for the most part, minus carbs post workout. Then post workout I just eat a bunch. Sweet potatoes and honey are usually my go to. Sometimes I'll forget to cook them before hand, and I'll have some corn based product. When I completely forget to pre-plan, I'll just stop at the store on the way home and grab a carton of chocolate almond milk and drink half after my workout, then the other half about an hour later.

 

you cant blur out the shame in that last progress pic... lolololol just messing with ya Ruben
keep on keeping on.
diet > everything

 

Hey guys I need advice.. Im 6'2, 156lbs, been working out 4-5 times a week for about 2 months now and my body hasn't really changed looks, gained about 5lbs..
What protein shake stuff should I take? Anything else that will help?

 

I feel great physically just am way to skinny. haha Like a lot of people say how skinny I am and I want to bulk up.

 

Thanks guys,
I eat bagels about every weekend because they are simple to do in the mornings. Ill see if I can't get more rice in my diet and see what happens I guess. I workout for a good 45min each time I go so its not like I don't spend much time there.

 

6'2" and 156...dude, don't worry about what you eat so much and FUCKING EAT MORE OF IT!

A LOT MORE OF IT!

And when you get done eating that....EAT MORE!

Eat a freaking pizza a day or some shit. I don't care...at your height you should easily be 200+

 

Haha I know and thats what Im working on. I would eat pizza to my hearts content everyday if I could but I don't want to get fat, i want muscle.

 

Ok...so eat Pizza everyday....you taller than I and 40 lbs lighter....you can stand to have a pizza.

 

I live off of pizza and ice cream and have a 6 pack

Tom Hardy lived off of pizza when bulking for Bain

 

Thats AFTER you got your 6 pack.. haha I highly doubt I could get to the way you are by working out like I am and eating pizza everyday though.

 

I was so skinny i didnt even have a 6 pack!

 

That makes sense about the rice. Ill add that and keep going like I am and see what happens. I can begin to see a 6 pack if I flex but by no means am I a muscular build yet.

 

ohh god... body pics.
I think I'm actually going to try to cut down (never done a serious cut), just to see how much definition I can get. I'm usually eating about 4000 cal a day, so ill probablly just drop down to 3000/3300, minimal carbs, more cardio, and keep up the weights and protein. These are kinda acting as my before pics.

Any other tips from people who have done a successful cut.





5'8, 165#

 

Joe Donnelly: Those who say you can't out train a bad diet never had the balls to try.

6'2" 156 lbs, the last thing I'd worry about is a 6-er....and worry more about where your next slice of pizza or a sandwich is.

 

So should I gain weight by eating a ton then work it off by lifting weights?

 

No, you should gain muscle and weight by eating TONS and lifting weights!!! Don't think about working anything off right, you need to be thinking working it on!!
