The gains have been made over a 6 month period, and then I've been cutting slowly for the past 8 weeks losing roughly 1lb per week.

And yes, it's the bodyfat scales I've used to measure myself,...

Hi guys,

I started a bulk and gained 16lbs, after which I then decided to do a mini cut to get rid of some of the fat I'd put on.

I've now lost 8lbs but my bodyfat is at exactly the same level...

Hi guys, over the past 4/5 months I havent been able to commit to my training or diet - because of this I've lost over 14lbs - Im sure some of you may have been through this before and its not a good...

Well I dont know, I might have quite good genes as I've put on over 30lbs in around 1.5 years of on and off lifting, and my bodyfat dropped to 10% what it is now.

I think the stats were 5ft 10 and...

yeah i see what you're saying man. I just don't want to carry on doing a diet if I'm not doing it right.

My lifts have all gone up to be honest, definitely getting stronger with every workout and...

I am following that diet 100%.

I was measured with calipers and weighed first thing in the morning after taking a piss....both times so it's as consistent as I could make it.

So if some of the...

So 1lb a week of muscle at this stage is impossible?


And you are 38 lbs heavier than me....maybe that's why it would be a cut diet for you, for me its obviously not cos im gaining weight...

I...

So you guys are saying that its water weight that I have put on and not fat?

BTW, I have been bulking since before Christmas, and found I stopped gaining a little while ago so switched to the diet...

no, i've been bulking for a while on and off but have recently changed to this diet. I don't normally do cardio on a bulk.

I am working a 4 day split -

back/biceps

shoulders/triceps

legs

chest/abs

well my bodyfat was measured using calipers 2 weeks ago before starting this new diet, and also my weight, and the same was done today.

That's is how we worked out that 5 lbs had been gained, 3 of...

so 1lb a week of muscle is good to gain? But not with 1.5 pounds of fat aswell! lol

I must definitely be eating too many cals then, as 3 pounds of fat to 2 lbs muscle isnt really acceptable to me....

yeah i totally agree with you. I am eating very cleanly, that was my aim from the start - no fast food or anything like that.

I can only assume I am eating too much clean food? If I have gained 2...

Hey guys,

I have gained 5 lbs since I last weighed myself 2 weeks ago and after measuring bodyfat etc, it seems only 2 lbs were muscle and 3 were fat!

Does this mean;

1) I am eating too...

yeah i see so many around its hard to pick one. Some contain so many ingredients. What are you taking at the moment? Ive just been using a cheap store brand multi vit as I can't justify spending that...

cool I think I'll try zma then. What would be a good multivitamin product?

what multi vit would you say is a good one Vadim? I would rather get a decent multi vit than have to take extra supps!

can anyone give me any advice on this please?

Would it be beneficial to take an extra zinc supplement on top of a daily multivitamin?

If yes, then can anyone recommend a good zinc supplement?
