Honestly speaking, for most people 1gm/lb of body weight is more than enough. Then there are some (like me), who don't do well with high carbs. I did 1gm/lb of body weight protein, 0.4gms fats and...

Not an expert. But, I don't think it matters as long as you get your macros. However, I have heard you might be better off not consuming 1000 calories an hour before bed. Even that isn't 100%...

Did read something along these lines on Body Recomposition website. However, I guess I am trying to over compensate because I *thought* I am not getting "complete" protein because I don't eat meat....

Yes, Sir. I know there are no magic pills and its all hard work+patience. However, I keep reading around here in the forums that "0.8 gms protein each lb of body weight is good. BUT, the more you...

Yep. That's the sad part. I do struggle on some days to get more than 170 gms - Like I have to consume something with 200 cals just to get 10-15 gms protein.

You mean I should eat more? I'm gaining close to 0.5 lbs per week. The weight does jump up by 1-1.5 lbs sometimes. But, that's mostly water I guess because the next morning, its back to normal.

Umm... So, just stick to what I'm eating and have patience then? :D I could as well increase my eggs consumption. But, I already consume 10 of them for dinner (with 4 whole eggs)

Hey guys,

I am 6'1" and 162 lbs (around 15% bf) and trying to slow gain. I'm a vegetarian (by religion) who eats eggs and has never tried meat. However, if its going to help me build muscle, I...

Your fats should be a little higher to start off with. Min fat and protein intake must be 0.4gms/lb and 0.8gms/lb respectively. You can go slightly higher on them if you want to consume less carbs....

Great. Thanks a lot for all your help!!

Hmm.. While this has some of the exercises I find challenging (pullups and later raises especially), I think the volume is really on the lower side for me. At the end of it, I would throw in 3-4 sets...

Awesome. I'll go in with this and try it out. Thanks a lot man! :D

Last question - I know I should pretty much forget about abs while I'm bulking, but should I still continue doing 3-4 sets for...

Would dips also help me with development of my upper chest? I can add in barbell/dumbbell shrugs instead of OHP as well right?

Remove Flat Bench press and replace it by 3x8-10 pull ups then? Would that be good even though I already have 4 sets of pulldowns? I don't want to remove Incline Bench press because its been helping...

I'm 6'1" and have cut down to 162 lbs (yes.. I look skinny af now). I want to start the slow bulk. Been following the Lyle McDonalds bulking routine because I really enjoy doing the program.

What ^ he said and some other things to keep in mind coming from a fellow beginner (I started lifting seriously early this year).
Firstly, good job with deciding to lift. One month's progress really...

Nice progress! Congrats... Even though I am not very experienced, I can tell you for sure that most sane people would advice that you try to put on mass by eating actual food. Dont waste your money...

Hey.. You seem like you've made a good progress and should keep going... 20 kgs/~45 lbs in 9 months is definitely a good progress. I would say you should cut down more to get that lean look before...

Awesome stuff bro! Great job... *claps*
What was your training routine and diet like?

Omg! This is awesome, Oscar. Sorry you had to take some bs from the guy who talked about you taking "steroids".. Its the excuse people use when they can't get a physique like you. :D

I was going...
