MISC Lean Bulkers Crew: Oats and Stomach Bloats (Part 2)

[Ben6485]

Creatine doesn't make me bloat, but it does add that water weight.

I just was put off by the 1.5lb weight jump overnight. I'm just holing whater...I don't feel bloated, but look softer in my abs. I know it's just temporary while I'm on creatine but it's a little off putting since I just finished my cut 6 weeks or so ago haha.
In the long run it's gonn help my gains with the strength increase.

Fuark brahs! I just came in here to say I FUKING LOVE BULKING. I was cutting at an extreme deficit (~1700) up until 2-3 weeks ago and been reversing since. I downed 3k calories today with over 300 grams of carbs and over 225 grams of protein. I am super pumped and full of energy. I can see every vein in my upper arms and lower abs. This is the time when the cutting results are actually visible. After a couple weeks of higher calories when your muscles are back to 100%, and your bf% is lower than before. I feel like a different person, guys. Testosterone feels like it's through the roof. It's funny how we cut for months without seeing much progress and we get (and feel) tiny. But then, once we hop back on higher cals, the difference is totally noticeable and somehow our time spent cutting instantly pays off.

Cheers LBC!

2 pounds a month seems perfect. That's 0.5lb/week. 12 pounds of muscle in 6 months? I can dig it.

update your stats!!! niiiiiiiiiiiiice

[Zylantypic]

250-300 cal surplus (50 calories are hard to hit on the spot every day) maintenance is at 2300 (slow metabolic rate). Feels good being able to eat 2550-2600 calories and still gain weight. Enough of this cutting crap, imo unless you have a really good foundation or are at 25%> bf then there's no reason to be cutting.

Been lean bulking for 9 days now, hitting these macros are so much easier with more wiggle room (and IIFYM). Should be gaining a good 0.5-0.6lbs a week.

Yo brahs, any advice on what to do with bench? Want dem numbers up! Strength is needed! Last workout did 5 x 5 with 70kg. Think 70kg is my 5RM. How to continue from here to gain more strength? Any advice?

If your 5RM is 70kg, deload 10-15% and work your way up. You can do straight sets or ramping sets. I personally prefer ramping sets like Madcows, this allows for working on form with light weights and then a few submaximal sets.

How many "free calories" do you guys get to "spend" on a daily basis?

Start working on some weighted dips and heavy curls. Back as well. You need strong support muscles just as much you need a strong chest.

I just got my LIV cutting log up in the sponsored supplement log forum. All of you brahs are welcome to the party!

lol, go for it! Keep us updated!

Fasted training this morning went fine. Im like 20 hours fasted at the mo... not sure im even that hungry. Gonna go for the big 24 before I rub a big plate of fish and vegetables in and around my mouth.
I can also confirm a lot of gum has been chewed.

[redexadieu]

For those that have followed a standard 5x5 3d/week program like jasondbs - do you ever sub out bench press for an incline movement once every few weeks? routine is great but I always see people wishing they had worked on their upper chest a bit and I dont want to be that guy. (however, I feel like I should just be doing my flat bench and maximising strength gains on that)

I alternate weeks usually.
Sometimes I'll do both in one workout(flat bb, incline db)

[bjnor]

count me in
going to lean bulk untill I've gained about 10 kg/22 pounds (or more if I don't look like shyt)

Started last month at 2800 kcals, upping it with about 100 kcals each month, aiming for about 2lbs each month for now.
I supplement my diet with creatine and a multi.
Prot: 1g+/lb (~ 150g+)
Fat: 1g+/kg or 0.4g+/lb (~65g+)
Carb: Whatever fits, I also want to keep my fiber intake to 25g+ each day.

For working out I follow a personalized Legs, push, pull.

Ah, I don't look at my food in that way, they're all discretionary calories lol.
I guess 10 to 20% might be not so bro-friendly foods, just thumbsucking here.

Found this chocolate milk at the shop today, right after I left the gym, some might call it discretionary.


It even has bro-science in fine print.

goin 2.5lbs here but ill probably curb it down to 2 or even 1.5 if my BF gets too high

How many "free calories" do you guys get to "spend" on a daily basis?

not sure what u mean but i have a calorie limit (2600) and a protein minimum (150). dont really care what the other macros come out to.

has been working pretty well. gone from 148-156 in 3 months with very minimal fat gain (if any at all). muscle separation is becoming more noticeable every week that passes

[Devils]

Gains going well, aiming for 2 lbs each month for the next 12-16 months.

I should try to bulk for a year like that. What bf% do you think you will get to?
