Hey man,
I think you tried to gain weight too fast because your bf% just went sky high. Its okay though but 30lbs in 4 months? I thank 25 - 27lbs of it was fat and the rest musle, but i think you gained some decent strength. Hit the cardio, eat 0 junk food, and hit the weights super hard.
Good luck.
Question tho:
Why does the article say for the home made weight gainer "A few bags of low fat milk " ?
A few bags lol?

[QUOTE=Wevans2303;295774431]Well you clearly dont know anything because your under the impression your bulk was a succes, most of the people on here will agree it was a total failure.
You gained 30lbs of fat, no muscle.
I hate to say it but it looks like you stopped lifting and hopped it down to macdonalds for 6 months.
Also, it looks like the pictures should be the other way round, the before pic should be the after pic.[/QUOTE]
ok well to be honest school was really tough and I got sick a few times.. so I was out of the gym for maybe 4 weeks TOTAL spread out over the 6 months..
But still, everything else was good. I followed my diet to a T, never missed a workout (except for the 4 weeks at different points), and got plenty of sleep (mostly on the weekends though, school was killer)
Still going strong guys!
..at least this is better than that "Brucester" dude.. right?
-
I strongly advice a recomp. its for the best.
I just dont get it, you followed a diet made by a total jock that was soley aimed at keeping the fat gain low when bulking, and it looks like probably all of your weight gain was fat, did you follow his diet to a T or make sure you changed the volume of food to fit your weight?

[QUOTE=MuscleBurnerX;295734911]nice on gaining weight. but i would advise to start doing more cardio. maybe tone your body some now.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=vadox6466;295738601]I'm guessing b is bench, s is squat, d is deadlift..
here's what I put up last weeK (all to failure):
DB bench: 2 sets of 5 at 55lb dumbbells
deadlift: 3 sets of 5 at 230lb
squat: 2 sets of 4, 180lb[/QUOTE]
You have to get stronger.

OP I don't want to be mean, and I'm not skinny either(how ever at 8% body fat I'd weih 175lbs so I am a bit more muscular than most of the people on these forums in the teen section) you gained a lot of fat. Bulking shouldnt be about adding weight necessarily.
When I "bulk" what I do is I still do CARDIO every day but sunday. My diet is increased to about 4500 calories a day. Now for someone with my training regiment that is slightly above the amount I need to eat to maintain. (Generally I burn 1000 calories + a day exercising) I watch my lifts to see if I'm making progress.
An example was my "bulk" when I went from a 275 dead lift 5 rm and a 165 5rm bench and a 185 5rm squat to a 225 5rm bench, 255 5rm squat and a 345 5rm deadlift. This took from october to now. I also lost 20 lbs while doing that. Granted I had fat but my point is don't watch the scale, the scale lies. Look at your lifts and body fat percentage.
Don't listen to everyone elses negative comments. Unless they have good advice take it, but if it's a d-bag comment just tune them out.
Good luck!

This has to be a joke.

[QUOTE=Lil Bola;295777841]This has to be a joke.[/QUOTE]
I dumbbell pressed that when I started lifting lol. For more sets and reps too.
I hope for sake of OP he is trolling.

Here's the diet I followed (and am currently following.. total calories are around 4300 because I dont include PWO shake in it)

Great so your eating practically 2000 calories over maintenance.
I would really suggest cutting calories back if you are set on continuing your bulk.
3500 max.

WAYYYY too much protein, carbs, calories. what's your training regiment. It better include atleast an hour of intense cardio along with atleast 2 hours of weight training to be eating like that.
-
As you guys can see, macro's for my diet are as follows:
Fat: 20%
Carbs: 45%
Protein: 35%
which are a good ratio (so I hear/read)

Your deadlift is not pretty good, just saying =S
Considering you weigh 205.
-
wow, at first i thought you got the before and after pics mixed up because you looked so much better in the first pic IMO.

ok, i weigh 30lbs more than you, i think you should respect me a little bit more.
-
yeah I weigh 185 right now and I can max dl 385. Stop worrying about the scale go by your lifts and body fat %

..why?
EDIT: is it because i weigh all my food and have a precise diet and you're jealous of that?
-
[QUOTE=vadox6466;295782241]ya probably with bad form[/QUOTE]
My form is perfect first off, with ****ty form I can get up over 400 lbs. Second off my other lifts are in proportion, I can 5rm 225 on my bench and 5 rm 255 on my squat. My squat is only low because I hurt my knee 2 monthes ago and I lost 2 monthes of squatting and dling, but mostly squatting.
and for one I don't rep 55lb dumbbells. I incline 75's...

ok, it's also harder for me because i'm taller than you. When you're taller the ROM your body has to go through for most lifts is a lot bigger than when you're shorter, so as a result taller people lift proportionately less
-
you're 2 inches taller... and my lifts are a lot heavier, those 2 inches don't explain why my lifts are much higher. I've only been training 10 monthes too. I don't even supplement...

uhm, I'm 6'1" and you're 5'9"
4inches taller

i forgot to edit i'm 5 10.5 and even still wouldn't explain why my dl is over a 100 lbs heavier along with my squat being atleast 60 lbs heavier and my bench probably being 100 lbs heavier.

ok congratulations ur better than my lifts happy?
this is a therad about my progress not about my lifts..
-
well first off i'm also 2 years younger second off, you "bulked" to 205. Now realistically, how much of that was muscle seeing as most 200 lbs people bench atleast 200 lbs and squat atleast 250 lbs and dead lift atleast 300 lbs. You fall shy of all 3 of those. Next time focus on lifting more weight and the results come with it. Also GOOD FORM!
