Depends. For strength? No.

For hypertrophy? Yes (2x per week)

Substantial initial weight gain during the beginning of a bulk normal? I jumped up from 159 pounds to 168. It's been around four days since I started bulking, but i've been eating 3000-3500 calories a day on average

I'm sorry for bombarding you with questions every week. I greatly appreciate your patience and time.

Yes, this is mostly water weight and excess food being digested at the time of weigh-in....no worries there.

Sup Ray, Here is my fatass again that i can't seem to get my motivation up.

I'm at my highest weight at the moment. Tired of not fitting into my jeans.. But anyways let me get to the point.

Do you have a simple diet plan, or simple work out i can start off with?

I don't care about loosing muslce.. Just really want to get slim.


Haven't done anything in a while so i got to start off slow.

need height/weight/age

whats your thoughts on chic peas? there nutritional stats : 1 cup (250mL) = carbs =34 , fats dono didn't check, prot = 11g , fibre = 7 g

i mean, from a BB perspective is this not a glorious food? how come its not praised in BB ever? or is it and i have not seen it ? just would like to know your thoughts because i plan to eat a lot of them in my bulk, that and oats.

Iso a good cutting diet im currently 205 17% bodyfat . Looking to drop to 12% within the next month or two. How many lbs of fat do i have to lose? Im only 20years old 6 feet 3 inches. Would a cut to 12% possibly damage further growth? I work out 6 days a week at most 5 at least.. Cardio 30 mins after workout and i swim for about an hour on my rest days.

I work around 55-60 hours aprox a week some times more. I dont really have breaks as i am a bartender at a fast paced location. What i was curious about.. are there some foods that would sustain my appetite and also be better for my body throgh out the work days..

I try to stick to my meal plan on off days and eat pretty well/healthy when i am not at work. I just know at work i am not doing what i need to/should be doing.

we serve wings so its very tempting to just grab one or two out of the kitchen when running past to grab something out of the keg cooler.

we do have celery sticks and carrots always sitting there.. so i tend to snack on those through out the day..

dunno if i should try and bring my protein shakes to work? i dunno what food would be quick and good for me ..

i am 5'11 weigh 225lbs if thats needed

5'7, 215, 20

Raynor! Been a while!

I want to be around 7-8 bf for the summer . I don't think I've EVER been below 10

I'm willing to do what ever it takes.
The thing is I don't want to be some puny little kid and lose a lot of size so I'm havin trouble debating what workout routine to follow.
I've always trained strenght and don't have much siZe
Last 4 weeks my training has been in the 8-12 rep range focusing on hypertrophy....

My diet has been good.

Meal 5: 1 cup WW pasta, 1.5 chicken breasts, 2 cups steamed veggies

Sum it up:

Currently 11-13 %bf , 165ish lbs
