5 month bulk progress

[rymc77]

Started bulking around the start of March. It's been my first real bulk, so curious whether this is the kind of progress i should expect. Thanks guys

Nice gains...looks like you were able to keep fat gains pretty minimal.

great gains bro, repped! how many calories a day and what were your macros??

[swiss026]

yes!! well done sir, keep it up
you can definitely tell you've added lean mass (huge props!!)

[rymc77]

Thanks, good to know I'm on the right track

great gains bro, repped! how many calories a day and what were your macros??

Calories varied but mostly around 3300/day. Made up of protein ~200g, carbs ~ 300-400g, fats ~100g. Again, these varied a little due to food that I had available

Great job for 5 months dude. Stick with this! You kept your fat gains to a minimum.

Keep doing whatever you're doing, and you'll be joooocey in a years time for sure.

What'd you diet look like? Take me through a day where you'd hit your macros.

What'd you diet look like? Take me through a day where you'd hit your macros.

Average day would consist of:

Meal 1
- Fruit
- Whey protein

Meal 2 -
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 slices of toast
- BBQ sauce

Meal 3
- 2 slices of bread
- Sliced lean turkey
- Sliced ham/chicken
- Spinach
- Tomato, mayonaise (optionals)
- Peanut butter 1Tbsp

Pre workout
- Fruit
- Whey protein

Post workout
- Whey protein
- Dextrose

Meal 6
- Steak or chicken ~ 200g
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- BBQ sauce

Meal 7
- Peanut butter
- wholegrain crackers

Meal 8 - Casein Protein

I wasn't always consistent, but tried to remain close to something like this. Most of the time I'd simply be eating as much as I could for each meal

Great! Looking good. Be sure to post these two & a new shot in 5 months time!

Does your camera have a timer? The shots would look 'cleaner' if they weren't taken in front of a mirror.

I really should start taking some decent pics. All my initial progress pics were in front of the mirror, so I've just been keeping it consistent

Looks good, and looks like a lot of work. How many cals a day is that? Repped.

EDIT: NVM. I see youre @ 3300 cals/day. Interesting looks like a decent surplus. I'm clean bulking at 2700 right now at similar weight. Wondering if I should up mine - I know everyone's different though.

[rymc77]

Thanks for the great feedback guys!
I believe I could reduce my calorie intake a little and still do a successful bulk, but I haven't put on heaps of fat so far. I calculated it on a surplus of around 500 calories, being that my total expenditure worked out to be around 2700-2800. Although it would vary day to day and who knows how accurate that really is..
