    Bulking macros

    My $.02 would be to drop carbs and start doing more of a recomp style gaining cycle...at 16% bf you're getting into the realm of diminishing returns from a bulk

    Starting Clen Cycle Tomorrow

    Clen absolutely does discriminate between muscle and fat. It is somewhat muscle protein protective. And actually blocks cortisol quite potently...that being said, it also will up the rate that you are burning calories. So it can potentially contribute to muscle loss. Make sure you keep...

    tips to up my calorie intake?

    A very simple fix that works wonders...add a tbs of extra virgin olive oil to each meal. Depending on how many meals you eat, that is an extra 600+ quality calories a day

    What is 'GI' and a List of Common Foods

    How often do we eat carb sources alone? Because that is what the GI measures. The vast majority of the time we eat some amount of protein, carbs, and fats in a meal. GI is pretty damn crappy at predicting blood glucose response and unsulin response to foods when full meals (protein, fat, and...

    Topic of the Week: Traditional Bulk and Cut or no?

    I think the bulk/cut route can just as easily result in wheel spinning. Either way works if you do it right. I think it depends on what your goals are...if you are not a competitor, then I don't think there is ever a reason for a hard bulk. If you're, say a light heavy looking to move up to...

    how much would i have to lose in order to compete?

    If ya really want to know where you're at, take some whole body pics...different people hold fat in different areas. Impossible to say how close you are to comp conditioning without seeing glute/ham tie in especially...looking good in the pics man. What division would you compete in?

    13 days out

    Nice job brother! You'll learn soo much each time you prep. And it gets easier to bring those legs in leaner and leaner each time...kinda like your body gets used to dropping the fat. Bodybuilding is a marathon not a sprint, takes a lot more time than people think to build a truly impressive...

    Discussion: cardio needed for fat loss?

    needed? No. But helpful. Especially HIT style. I think of cardio as a supplement when cutting. It's the diet that gets you lean, but cardio will give the process a boost. when done right of course
