yeah when that happens you just need to cut out protein and fats and go hard on carbs keep the weight on. potato soup ftw

 

Unfortunately, you're right. I've lost about 8-10 lbs and my muscles are definitely void of water and I look like I've never picked up a weight before. Very demotivating lol

 

I told you that back in the beginning bro!!

Y u no listen!?

 

Yummy what flavor did ya get? I like the cookie dough ones!!

And I need to get weather techs for my little lady....she got dirty floors.

 

What's up everyone. Been sub'ed for a while. Finally got back on a routine this week, had a son 6 months ago that screwed up my routine. Pulled 400 for 2 this am, felt good to lift, but still don't have my strength 100% back

 

What's your routine?

Weighed in today at 160 after subtracting "extras" and bf only up to 13%. That's 10 lbs of solid muscle gain and 5 fat in about 3-4 months

 

15 lbs of weight in 3 months? What are you on? And how old are you and how tall?

 

Well between 3 and 4 months I don't exactly remember but ya. I've been taking ON serious mass and just switched to ON mass gainer for the extra protiens. Also muscle tech creatine and for my pre something called dr.hyde
Plus after most workouts I take pure genesis vitamins and balancer.
My diet is about 3200-3500 cal.
O ya and I'm 5'11" and 22

 

American Ninja Warrior back on TV hell ya

 

Yeah, I know. You're wiser than you look lol

Today, I'm introducing coffee and chicken back into the diet. It's gonna be boiled chicken, but after eating the shit I've eaten the past week, it's gonna taste like a damn t-bone steak. Still not gonna lift, though. I'm gonna be a sore ass niqqa next week.

10 lbs of muscle in 3-4 months? Is your ass sore from those bi-weekly test and deca pinnings? hate to burst your bubble, but you cannot gain that kind of muscle in that short period of time without "help." Now, there have been newbie's that can gain up to 17-18 lbs in a year, but that's still only a gain of ~2 lbs a month. After newbie gains, one can expect to put on 5 lbs (of muscle) a year, max. When lean bulking, I put on a lb a week, so in 2 months, I gain 8 lbs. Being lenient with it, I'd say that's probably 1 lb of muscle and 7 lbs of fat and water. Dirty bulking, I gain about 2 lbs a week, so 16 lbs in 2 months. Even with that, I've still only gained 1.5-2 lbs of muscle and a whole lot of fat (13-14 lbs).

Here's a good article on it:

That being said, you're still gaining, which is good!

 

Good first post....

 

I guess it's my new "EAT WHATEVER THE FUQQQQQ YOU WANT" mindset my starved ass body has put me in. The new Zach

EDIT: Also, after 5 days without coffee, this shit's got me geeked up! I can't imagine what my pre is gonna do Monday!

 

now hold on, there are some genetic freaks out there.

 

I'm assuming that's probably less than 1% of the population though.

 

true.

 

Unfortunately, I am the 99%....why can't I have been born with some sort of excess production of testosterone!?

 

our balls are just not as alpha.

 

Alpha balls ftw
