Ok what gives. You say you have been training seriously for 7 months. Is that really you in your avi? Man if it is what in the heck have you been doing. You look in fantastic shape. Lol on a side note that pic kinda looks like the person who kicked off the lean gain diet. Lol
Thank you very much bro! I appreciate it. I'm doing my best.
I think I am feeding the diesel plenty and my update from today that I will be posting will reflect that. Remember, I'm not 200+, I'm in the 170s. Last year I took in 4k+ every day during the winter and the result was 35 lbs gained of some muscle, but mostly fat. I truly believe most people take things to extremes in a bulk, and it is better to do it controlled. Hopefully 3500ish build days and 2k-2500 on burn days is the control I'm looking for coupled with lean gains. I think its working considering I'm up 7-8 lbs in 11-12 days with no fat gain that I can tell. That is more weight than I put on at 4k per day in 2 weeks on SD :sgrin:
That it is....its really starting to take off so stay tuned and don't touch that dial because I think things are going to get good!!
: thumbsup:
Very nice rick!!! Your strength is looking good, keep it up man! This is getting even more interesting!
Damn BISH, you are lucky! I remember when I used to have that problem around 15 years ago, but now I'm creeping closer to 40 and that fast metabolism isn't so fast anymore. Now I do gain fat if I overeat, so its something I have to watch. I'm perfectly fine adding in the muscle a little at a time while keeping fat at bay. I actually don't want to be a lot bigger anyways. Whenever I hit 185-190 @ 6% which is my long term goal, I will be done with cycling all together and will be happy maintaining that from then on out.No doubt, whatever works for u.
For me though, I'm sitting around 210 fairly lean. Not as lean as u tho b!tch!
I need at least 4000 cals ED to maintain that wait or to gain more. I eat and eat and usually never gain a bit of fat so I guess I'm lucky
Nah man I wish haha, that's a bodybuilder named zyzz who passed away. Im sure you know him but if you dont you should check him out on simplyshredded. I'd post a pic of myself but I feel like im still way to small, so I just keep a pic up of him for motivation haha.
Don't be ashamed. I have all sorts of skin chub. if I can do it you can
Thanks a lot Chris! You are the source of my dietary strategies for a good while now. Ever since you started me out on lean gains several months ago, I have been trying my best to follow in your footsteps and you have never steered me wrong. Ive experienced the best body composition changes since starting it, and building LEAN mass is the way to go in my opinion. I cant thank you enough for all your support and everything youve done bro :cheers:
Its good to have a source of motivation, but dont be afraid to post up pics of yourself either, regardless of what you may think of yourself. I was very ashamed to put up pics less than 2 years ago when i joined this forum, but I did and I am gald I made that choice. Every time I was able to update my avi with a better pic I recieved a lot of compliments on my progress, and that fueled my drive and motivation even further to reach for the body I'm trying to get. I'm still not to where I want to get to yet, but I have made a lot of progress. If I can find my original avi pic I will post it up here for you guys to see.
Exactly Jeff! You know this all too well. You may have been a little apprehensive to put up your original pics when you first came on here to turn your life around.....but you did. And as a result, you are the source of inspiration for many members on this forum including myself. your progress through your journey so far has been incredible, and I feel honored to have been with you since the beginning of it!!
Thank you very much Mr. Green! I really appreciate the nice words!
Those compliments from friends that havent seen you in a while are always nice to get for sure!

No problem bro. I like seeing your skin chub....lol
Thanks bro!
Thanks for joining bro, and thank you very much for the compliments!
Looks like things are going very well.
Geaux tigers!!!!
Skim milk would be good if you're trying to keep the fat content down yeah.
Yes...non fat (skim) milk
Yes sir...about an hour ago
Looking forward to how this goes
Epi is always good for that!
Don't remember that being the case with me but I definitely felt on...
A good cardio session will go a long way to ease your concerns... I just do a little extra when I have been loose with my diet. Lately it's the only thing keeping me reasonably lean, but diet is slowly becoming more reasonable and I have weathered the strorm so far. Bit of a relapse yesterday and my mental discipline to a hit lol It's hard when there is no hard goal..
That is very true. Usually a good clean up day between a decent cardio session and clean eating with low carbs will make a big difference by that night. Hopefully that is the case and I will see a difference later
Looks like you are doing about the same thing as me. Good to hear its going great so far. Keep killing it and hitting those PRs!! :sgrin:
