I Cant Get Any Bigger ....Should I Cut ??????

Todd_74 · 10-28-2009, 04:58 PM

I have been trying to clean bulk for a few months but It seems I cant pack on anymore weight/muscle. Should I start a cut or just dirty bulk all winter. I am almost 6'2 and currently at 273lbs.

Jesus Christ you are ****ing huge! Doesn't surprise me you can't bulk anymore. I'm not sure what you should do but I just wanted to let you know I'm impressed. Good work man.

cut brah

NorCalJR · 10-28-2009, 05:21 PM

Dang I wish I was that big, I guess cut then

nickasher · 10-28-2009, 05:22 PM

Add more calories into your diet???

If you want to keep bulking then keep bulking - but just increase cals and change your training - it might not be that you can't put on anymore size it might be because your body has become used to what you are doing.

If you feel you want to cut then go ahead - but as I said above it might just be simply changing your diet and training to keep things going.

I would suggest just totally changing your program up - What I normaly do is rotate my programs i.e 6-10 weeks bodybuilding style stuff, 4-8 weeks powerlifting/strength style training - I find this way my body is always guessing.

Whats is your diet atm?

mattv09 · 10-28-2009, 05:49 PM

cut it will make u look even bigger.

MdFitness · 10-28-2009, 06:10 PM

wow looking big man, try a totally different diet and maybe try a month of high volume higher reps routine.

Brad155 · 10-28-2009, 06:18 PM

cut 6-8 weeks, you'll look ripped as hell, then continue the bulk. maybe you're reaching your genetic potential?

high protein / lean meats

alot of chicken breast, tuna, egg whites, salmon

Complex carbs

Brown rice and such

cut for a while seems like you dont have much to lose, then go back to it. could be your body needs a change of pace. or do what most have said and readjust your diet.

or theirs always prohormones or roids to force you to grow.
what are your stats anyways?

BC23 · 10-28-2009, 06:24 PM

If your for it, I'd say cut. You are looking very massive. Good luck!

Frooshy186 · 10-28-2009, 06:30 PM

youd look like a beast if you cut, you already look ****ing huge, really nice work

Maybe change your main source from chicken to steak and your rice to pasta and potatos.

Eat whole eggs.

Snack on nuts - high cals for what they are.

Sounds to me like your diet is good just needs a few small things changing to add more cals.

Like some of the other guys said - change your program - I prob wouldn't go high reps - keep it around 6-8 but do more of a bodybuilding style split.

I know most ppl are saying cut but as I said it may just be a case of your body is so used to what your doing it just wont change.

So maybe try and change training/diet and see how you go.

so much mass, even with that fat you look kinda lean...in a nice way. You would be ripped to shreds if you cut. Up to you dude, but whatever you're doing is working...and working well.

how many times did you run this 10 week program? how did your lifts progress compared to bodyweight?

Big Slim DaDDy · 10-28-2009, 07:47 PM

If you can't gain weight on a clean bulk then all a dirty bulk will do is add fat. Dirty food doesn't have magic muscle building qualities that clean food doesn't. Either increase your calories and see if that has an effect or spend a few weeks cutting some weight.

Al_Pal · 10-28-2009, 07:50 PM

if i were you id cut. with all that muscle mass you have, you will look sick as **** if you leaned up a bit.

crystallinentity · 10-28-2009, 07:53 PM

You're fukin masive man. Great job.

3-4 times heavy using the 4th on muscle groups i wanted to improve that week/month such as focus on squat / bench. Lifts have gone up slow like always but weight is sticking around the same which is weird
