    Trying to gain, Stuck at weight

    R1...simple, you weren't eating too much of an excess. Doesn't matter who you are, if youre eating too big of a caloric excess you will gain fat no matter what food you eat.

    First Contest Pics

    Good stuff man, look good overall but need more hams n glutes. Do not cut water unless you wanna be flat, get headaches, and get cramps. Looking hard an grainy is from LOW BODYFAT. So diet til you have striated glutes, easy. Lol

    weight gaining

    For breakfast you should be having a large carb protein meal. In general you just need to eat more, while trying to eat quality food. If you're having trouble consuming more, gainer shakes can help as well as fruits (low stomach space, high calories)

    no big belly

    I also agree with doin deadlifts n squats being pretty much sufficient for abs. I hardly do direct ab work anymore

    no big belly

    Agreed Teddy....if your strength is slowly increasing and your weight is slowly rising, you should be alright. .5-1 lb a week should be ok. Incorporating some hiit cardio a couple times a week should help keep fat off as well while reducing wasting too many calories on cardio.

    2 dumb questions re: fasted cardio and cooking

    Fasted cardio is horrible if you're trying to maintain any amount of muscle. Your body is starved and has no carbs to burn so it catabolizes muscle. I guess if you're not worried about that then go for it (I will never do it nor recommend it). Also, an eating window makes no sense...especially...

    Touché...haha. Couple of my friends (natural) have done pretty well at npc shows. I still need more size before I'll attempt an npc, but I'm close :)

    I feel exactly the same way Austrian oak! Just didn't wanna flame either lol. But I am hoping for a pro card next year and it would be really frustrating to lose that due to someone cheating. Respect to both of you

    Trying to gain, Stuck at weight

    Just a note R1balla...you can definitely get fat on clean food. If you're eating too much excess calories you'll start gaining fat no matter what you're eating. Best way is to track your calories and macros adjusting as needed...if you stay in a slight excess, like 500 cals, you shouldn't gain...

    natural body building questions!

    Doesn't really matter what bf% you are...it's all looks. Just diet slowly til you've got striated glutes and you know you're ready lol. You'll probably wanna be in the 7-8% range at the most, preferably closer to 2-3 if you can get that low. Don't get obsessed with bodyfat numbers tho

    Quick Bulking Meals?

    Yeah as long as it's accounted for in macros it's ok, I just dislike all the processing and junk stuff they put in something like salami...it's not just animal fat lol. There's a difference between a steak and salami (which I'd hardly consider to be meat). As you said, to each their own ;)
