Just finished P90X and now moving towards a clean bulk over the fall/winter.
Lost a ton of fat during P90X and now I'm ready to gain some mass. I'm 6'4 and 178 lbs. My body fat % is 9-10%. I want to bulk and then cut for next spring/summer. What is a realistic goal for me?
After the cut, I want to maintain around the same body fat % that I have now (9-10%).
In 8-9 months, is 200lbs at 9-10% body fat realistic? What should I shoot for?

When you can curl 150 for 10, your biceps will reflect THAT, not which program, rep range or method you used to get there. There is no voodoo independent of poundage progression, just faster and slower ways of getting to your next pit stop.

I really don't know yet. Since I've been doing P90X, I have not really been doing a whole lot in the gym.
One other issue I have is that I only have access to dumbbells, shoulder press machine, cable press machine, few leg curl/extension machines, and a seated row machine.Multi-vitamin

Yeah, as others have said, you have to join a new gym or buy some weights for home. If money is a limitation, you could probably gain 20lb of muscle with nothing much more than a barbell, 350lb of weights, a chin up bar, two sturdy chars (with fat gripz to do dips on them) and a sturdy ruck sack.

Take the money you are spending on all those suppliments in your sig, replace them with eggs (I get 60 packs for $5.50... more protein than in a tub of whey), and join a gym with a rusty olympic set and a power rack.
Or dish out the $190 for a cheap 300 lbs Oly set and work out in your bedroom. A chinup bar is $30 at Wal-mart.
Doing the math now, as I don't use supps...
Your Jack3d is $22, 2 lbs of your whey is $22, universal storm is $28... all online so probably cheaper than retail. That is $72 in useless ****. You can get a pretty amazing gym membership for $72 a month, or save that for 3 months and get an Oly set, some jackstands/cinderblocks for floor presses and a chinup bar and using that get a hell of a lot bigger without your suppliments than you could with 50 lbs dumbbells and the suppliments you are using.Last edited by JasonDB; 08-24-2010 at 09:33 AM.
