I have been gaining strength, the only problem is that the size is only in my gut. I am trying to get wider in the shoulders, my chest is decent... What do you mean in the red? I use to weight 348,...

I'll keep this short and sweet. Currently bulking. 6'1" 175 (start weight in June). Marco 2750 cal, now on bulk 3,000 cal. Weight has gone up to 190ish, and the only thing else that has changed is my...

Thanks for the advice, I will stick to bulking. When I start to cut (Feburary) should I just drop lower calories than I did getting ready for my show? Or should I start cardio in order to maintain...

I do not like cardio, but if it would help. I am doing something wrong though. Cardio or no cardio I have fat deposits that I cannot shed...

I am doing a prolonged bulk for the first time since I have lost 182lbs. According to the stickies and everyones advice here are my macros: 3000cal 80-100g fat 250g carb. 300g protein. My biggest...

Honestly I have only done one show, it was a Saturday, so thursday night and friday nigth I went to the local tanning salon and had it sprayed on. No hassle, and looks amazing!

Great advice from tuxedoman34, just be sure to take in sodium and carbs the day of the show so that you'll be much more vascular and you won't blow up. Have fun and enjoy it! I also pack reese cups...

But why is it that at 2500 calories as I have been eating since my show, I have gained weight?

I'm stuck yo-yoing, and I am trying to firgure this out. So many have told me that there is a muscle building switch that everyone has to firgure out how to flip that switch...ugh

That is correct if I had medium activity, but I am at a desk all day, and workout 4 days on/ one day off lifting heavy for 45mins

I read that link already, that's how I cam to 2198 for TDEE, and I can't bulk until summer because the show I do is in June. By the way, don't the stickies mandate 1.5-1.6 grams of protein per pound...

First, thanks for your comments. I do like eating foods high in protein and I try to eat whole foods with no processing and salt when I am able too. What do you believe is more reasonable for calorie...

Just finished my first show, and I had a blast. However, I did not place. I was too flat and I have tons of excess skin from losing over 180lbs. My question is my new diet in preparation for next...

Cumulonimbus would be a great help, or any one that will offer some advice, I need help!

IFer here and workout three times a week, starting strength routine. I have been bulking without much luck, last month ate maintenance, and wondering what I should do now. Four months until contest....

I'm trying not to take anything, just get what I need from whole foods. Therefore, I am not asking about taking creatine, I'm asking like steak, what is creatine found in naturally. Thanks Simon,...
