Really? Wow, I thought something like 14-15%
Cheers bro!

BF% anyone?

Thanks for the quick response.
Squat went from 100x8-110x8, Bench from 82.5x8-95x8, Rows went from 65x8-77.5x8..
Been trying to hit legs hard, but finding trouble getting them up, might just be a...

I don't know whether I'm gaining too much BF% or not. My lifts have gone up significantly. Any areas I should hit harder? I've been trying to bring my legs out a lot during this bulk don't know...

Yeah I thought as much too. I'l just see the week through and see if I gain anything, and if not i'l bump cals/change multiplier.

Thanks guys. Will try both ideas out.

I think I have underestimated my tdee. Currently using a 1.4 multiplier.
I currently lift 4 days a week. And am a full time student. Unsure on how active that is. Any ideas? Cheers.

Ask your physical therapist if heavy loading will disrupt your injury or whether lifting heavy now will cause further injury.

I'd prefer a 1:1 gain of fat an muscle. Gaining so much fat is pointless if your aim is body composition, what's the point of having useless fat when it's obviously only going too make you heavier.

Depends on you level/experience in lifting, as a beginner you will burn out quickly. That said; if you have a year under your belt of proper lifting, i'd say go for it. I use an upper/lower split 2x...

To answer your 2nd question, Depends. Were you or are you currently...

Couldn't have said it better myself.

^^ Definately.

Any program that you can bulk on, you can cut on imo. Lower the volume on your cut though and keep the intensity up and you should be fine.

If your doing a program by a recognised fitness expert/guru. I'd suggest keeping the routine as is for the first month or two, and then tweaking it to how you want. That is enough time to see if your...

I'd say increase that rest time, and split into two days. Otherwise you'l just burn out on a 5x5 with a minute rest.

I would suggest eating at a surplus all week round for a few months. If you like your gains continue, if after a month or so your fats gains are larger then you wanted reduce the surplus. Just keep...

I believe your post says "age =/= knowledge". Unless your saying knowledge = experience. Which has nothing to do with how 'smart' a person is, which is what my original post was targeted towards.

I train at 5pm due to uni commitments. I prefer mornings though.

This x10

Age = experience.. Just sayin.

Is it just me or is the nutrition forum the only section where I read the whole thread.
