if you are new to the gym then this is the best time for you to go hard in the gym and see the results u want studies show u get the most out of your gym the first year you train eat and sleep right
in 6 more months you can look half way to where you want to just train hard and smart my friend

I've been training for 5months 10days.

you have togo your hardest by that i mean you will need a spotter to help you out after your best reps get some help with the last, thats how i did it and i am an ectomorph, first year i did it wrong i dint gain anyting but strength and muscle fibers wich is good but i wanted visible lines and mass, you need to do hypertrophy work outs meaning reps ranging from minimum 8 to 12 moderate weight that will last for a couple of sets more to make your muscles grow trust me on this id never thought id gain muscle now i look back at ym pics and i am proud, i have a youtube channel of you wanna see my transformation video, its channel=mrangelripped... i show what i eat there and do, my followers say it works for them so i keep posting things that help me out

I have my diet/workout down well... Just need some tips on how to change training program but its going ok.
Either way, repped.

just remember rest is important and while bulking carbs are very good protein sources and calories are important...devide your week into body parts plus rest..a;ot of water daily vitamins help...and i guess super sets help too but mostly doing heavy lifting is key and a good a amount of reps will help you grow

[faek]

carbs are very good protein sources

couldn't agree more

Ohhhh, makes more sense, sorry for the hate post then. haha.

Well, I am getting 4k cals a day, with that being nearly 400g of carbs, 200g of protein, and 100g of fat.

[robbcayman]

Well done, man!!

thats actually very good for a bulk, depending on your weight etc, then the rest of the equation is up to you in the gym, how hard you lift. and if you are doing it right..seems you are more advance in the right path wich is your macros. from here on you only need the easy stuff lifting.

[angelflash]

Well done, man!!

thank you

Curious on your bench press form. Your chest is lagging and you have decent shoulders. Curious if your shoulders are making up for your lack of chest and inflating your press #'s. Do you keep your elbows in close to your side when you press or are they flared out perpendicular to your side? Also, do you keep your scapula (shoulder blades) retracted while you press?

funny you ask because i used to keep my shoulders straight out and i recently started to keep my elbows in because i did not kno why my shoulders were getting so mb but my chest was not!! you sir have a good point of view just by looking at a picture

What a great transformation. Everyone says your chest is lagging, I think it looks fine, I would assume that in the spartan picture the strap is pulling your chest back.
