You got some good gains there man. What did you run for your cycle? Ive been cutting for a few weeks and still lifting hard as hell which Ive been keeping my strength up and increasing some too. I think Ill keep at it until my bf is lower. As much as I hate cutting, Id like to see the results from my cycle be much more apparent when Im done.These were my results after a 8 month bulk. Cutting now.
Is still suggest cutting some fat before cycle to improve physique results. And when on cycle, lift big. Really start to develop your body. You gotta kill it every day. Not saying your not. Just saying.
When they say get bigger that probablly mean more lbm when we say cut we mean cut bf%. . Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more weigh. And cutting doesn't mean you have to get smallerThats a solid cycle and results. What was your weight in the before pic and was that your first time running a cycle? I am getting feedback on other forums saying Im too small to run a cycle. Its annoying when I have people telling me to cut (hence, getting smaller) before I run a cycle and others telling me I need to get bigger first...
I'd also like too see your definition of very clean it's good you want to improve and not taking a swipe at you but imo if your diet was very clean your wouldn't be worrying if you were too fat to cycle. A clean diet to me will keep you in sub teen bf% very clean would keep you single digits.Im just really looking to add some mass so I want to bulk. My diet very clean except one cheat meal a week as usual. Figured if I ran it now I could just cut bf later. You guys gain much bf on cycle?
Id say you're skinny fat bro. Get a diet sorted out, smash food and weights for a year and see where you're at before hitting the GEARZ. Learning how to eat is the hardest part of GAINZ.
I mean I am obviously carrying some fat but I wouldnt call myself skinny fat. Compared to your stats 6' 2" 230+ lbs, yeah, but im never going to genetically get that big or close to it.Id say you're skinny fat bro.

With that attitude you'll never get anywhere. You don't know your genetic potential until you get your training, diet, and life style in check and dialed in. You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish.I mean I am obviously carrying some fat but I wouldnt call myself skinny fat.

Good advice here. I never thought id get as big as I am now, and in still not satisfied. It's a journey; but you need a solid base foundation to start from. I think your close; but maybe not quite there yet.With that attitude you'll never get anywhere.

Not bagging your progress mate, but but the looks you're not even close to your genetic potential.I mean I am obviously carrying some fat but I wouldnt call myself skinny fat. Compared to your stats 6' 2" 230+ lbs, yeah, but im never going to genetically get that big or close to it.
nah that isn't correct. He is too small to start a cycle. They are referring to his base, the amount of lbm he has. he hasnt build a sufficient base and this is probably his firat real attempt to cut or actually reach a normal healthy bodyfat. 18-22% is way to high imo. Any amount of test is going to aromatize like crazy. That will cause lots of unhealthy side effects. High bp, libido issues, increased chlorestrol, greater heart problems, more diffucukt recovery post cycle. and not to mention if you cant even achieve a six pack while flexing your diet is probably terrible and needs to be disciplined. OP, you probably wont be happy with your cycle results even if you ran one. if your goal is to gain muscle you are more than likely going to gain even more fat by the time its over. And if you gain any muscle on cycle, you must keep your calories even higher post cycle unless you want all your hard earned muscles to fade away. there is a reason they are telling you not to go out and waste your money yet bro. there are better ways of doing things.When they say get bigger that probablly mean more lbm when we say cut we mean cut bf%. . Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more weigh. And cutting doesn't mean you have to get smaller
No, I know. I wouldnt post pics or be on a forum if I didnt want the advice/critique. I realize I can get bigger than I am now. Ive been much bigger before with a lot less fat. Like I said I hit a bad streak and just let myself go. Been lifting again for about 5 months again so I know I can gain more. I started out pretty damn ecto so thats what I mean that I cant imagine being 230+.Not bagging your progress mate, but but the looks you're not even close to your genetic potential.
I'm not against ppl using gear, but it would be wasted on you at this stage.
With the right diet you'll put on a good 10lb of muscle easy - then hit the gears if you're so inclined to do so.
Go ahead and do that but I'm 99% sure your nutrition is to blame. Everybody always says "nutrition is dialed or on point" and I'd say 80% of those people have no clue what they're doing. Look up mountaindogdiet.com and spend 9 bucks. Everything you need to know regarding this sport is there.Im just a little over 5' 9". I think I am going to get my test levels checked by my doc because it is very difficult to gain muscle for me. I make progress but not like those around me. I lift with my friend who really knows his **** and is a bodybuilder and notices this too.

Who is arguing here???If I could give reps on mobile I would. This guy has it down. Argue all you want but he's right
I like carb cycling, allocating carbs where needed.Common theme: diet. Carb cycling highly recommended. Research priming - combined with above the most effective way to add lbm. Personally I find a Paleo-style diet highly effective, but include a lot of high-fat dairy. Bulletproof diet, intermittent fasting, worth checking out.
How are our lifts almost the same when you have run 2 cycles already and Im supposedly far from ever touching gear, and my diet isnt in check?Haha yeah man. I have a bad shoulder too. But I'm up to 235x2 as of yesterday which is the best ever for me. Hoping to hit 250 by May.

That's a good base to work from though. Our deadlifts are about the same. Idk my max squat. I do explosion/momentum training so I don't max out on squats. More sleds though.
cycling doesn't mean the scar tissue and ligaments in my shoulder just healed over night. Our lifts may be similar on bench, because my injury could have been far more extensive than yours. Therefor the strength in my shoulder to support the weight may be less. Not necessarily strength, but knowing when to not push a weak link in the body.How are our lifts almost the same when you have run 2 cycles already and Im supposedly far from ever touching gear, and my diet isnt in check?
Seriously...not flaming
well he's done 2 cycles and your lifts are about the same. But... you both have pics up in this log even though your lifts are comparable he's carrying it appears he's carrying a god deal more muscle more vascularity and less bf% lifts are subject because that's based on what you train for. His body composition from pics shows at the moment his diet is alot more on point. Your diet might be on point your lifts may good and you may be ready for juice. Buy honestly if you really felt ready 100% you'd probably already be on instead of asking us don't you think?.How are our lifts almost the same when you have run 2 cycles already and Im supposedly far from ever touching gear, and my diet isnt in check?
