Ah so I'm fairly f**ked either way if I can't increase the weight.

btw, thanks for those who gave the consructive responses.
- as to the others .... "get f**ked either way" :-)

??? mmmmmm ???

I'm pretty sure I haven't asked this question before.

I suppose at this point I'm just wondering if I'd be better introducing more reps per workout, or more workouts over a 2...

1) 5x5 (chest press, Lat pull, squat) performed on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun, Tue, Thur and Sat (repeated) ?
Note: each exercise = 175reps each fortnight

2) 3x5 (chest press, Lat pull, squat) performed...

Yes and No
- cals in vs cals out

46g of fiber ? - no sh*t ?

srs - downing that much protein is no doubt gonna bung u up.

It looks to me like your giving yourself around 0.9g/lb of total body weight and i would suspect that...

70" tall, 7" wrist, 9" ankle.

(Potential)
Chest: 48.6 in Biceps: 17.6 in
Forearms: 13.9 in Neck: 17.4 in
Thighs: 26.7 in Calves: 17.6 in

I'll take that.

(Currently)

Yeah, it's a safe bet i'm no doubt "over eating", but coming from a previous 147lbs @9%bf, i just decided to somewhat throw caution to the wind and "dirty bulk".
(The more than occasional beer here...

Thanks guys.

I'M CUTTING.

Thanks Get-n-fit, that seems like sound advice.

- but it is possible for someone like me to gain a significant amount of muscle at an average / low bf level ?

don't think so - it's mainly people on this forum saying it.

That aside; I know i should bulk, but I'm at a point where I'm not comfortable with my bf (previously a very lean "cardio" guy @9%, so...

Id like to be "bigger" (muscle wise), but I'd also like to be a little leaner.
I know it's not really "do-able" to achieve both at the same time, and I can live with the current bf; but so many...

Been lifting for almost 2 years now, but only switched to a serious 5*5 routine a few months back, which has given me great results.
I've gained almost 2 stone in "size" since I started lifting, and...

IT WORKS !

Been doing my 5*5 for just over 10 weeks now.

I've gained at least 1kg (possibly up to 2kg, but my weight seems to fluctuate a little by half a kilo) with no obvious change in fat...

surely you mean "Ecto's" ?
- don't "Endo's" generally have more than 20% (all over).

Btw, if there is a definition of "skinny fat", can someone give it ?.

(or at least give some examples in...

(sorry for the bump, but had to ask)

If he was say wanting to cut; would he need the 68g of fat rather than higher (total bw amount), or should he stick to the higher and just reduce his total...

Don't know tbh.
which is more benefitial ?.
androgens I assume ?.

vids are just US media scaremongering.

It's safer here in the UK, gun related crime is minimal.

Tax related crime is rife however.....

On the plus side - the U.S. has far fewer soccer riots....

Yeah i can believe it.
however, any idea how low you can actually go (before muscle loss occurs), providing all protein and fat needs are met ?

(While I'm thinking about it).......

what would be the outcome if I (for arguments sake) just met my protein and fat needs a day ?

2g/kg = 154g pro = 616cal
0.5g/lb = 85g fat = 765cal...

isn't muscle size primarily determined by bone size ?
