Genetics?

[casualifter]

sounds like your diet is off

[jazi]

if ur like me

remember dat progressive overload cuz

focus on that tiny weight increase on major compounds every week

u don't deserve to eat like a behemoth if you don't train like one. Otherwise your body will troll you.

[eyebrowbrah]

sounds like your diet is off

but calories are calories?

[bigwolfman007]

UR BULKING TOO HARD. u need to cut back a lil and let the lean gains do their thang. When you are natty it is not worth becoming a skinny fat slob just for that extra 1 pound of muscle.. u need to ease up m8

Ignore this. With this theory you will become skinny fat but cutting.

[eyebrowbrah]

In a sense yes.

But wrong macros, are wrong macros

i do 360 carbs/180 protein/80 fats

seems good to me

[youonlyliftonce]

more reps

[thsker]

Are you making reasonable gains on your lifts? If no, fix your program. If yes, just keep at it, the muscle will come.

yes. 5 lb strenght gains each week

[novawildcat25]

this

[LeoDaVinci]

0. You're averaging a lot more than 2,900 calories/day if you're gaining noticeable fat while lifting and having those stats

Beyond that fact,
1. Progressive overloard
2. Push harder at the gym

That's all, mate.

Natty problems...

[eyebrowbrah]

I'd drop 100 carbs, and add it to protein.

But I respond better to higher protein, others don't.

What's your weight. (Can't see/phone brah)

5 11. 280 grams protein? u wot m8?

[MultiMediaWill]

That's too much protein.

[Khris132]

Try 1.5 for protein. approx 260protein/280carbs/80 fats

[eyebrowbrah]

Try 1.5 for protein. approx 260protein/280carbs/80 fats

but theres studies claiming .82 g/lb is more than enough for nattys

.. & good way to spin your wheels. lol @ the uneducated dumb **** that comes out of peoples mouths. why are people on gear who look average giving advice anyway. sort out your own mediocrities before speaking up.



op if you are natty you are going to have to get a little fat to make any decent gains. deal with it.

[VabaX]

but theres studies claiming .82 g/lb is more than enough for nattys

correct.

[eyebrowbrah]

correct.

so...what now?

[Khris132]

but theres studies claiming .82 g/lb is more than enough for nattys

Your not those natties that were being studied. I learned my body from trying new things. I think you should give it a try, track your weights and see which is giving you better progress

[rjones416]

what are your lifts op?

[eyebrowbrah]

what are your lifts op?

dl: 310
squat: 245
bench: 170
military: 115

[VabaX]

so...what now?

lift more. switch your routine up. if your diet/macros are what you say they are, then thats not your problem.
only trial and error can really find out what suits your body the best, but if you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same results

[Nvrlift]

OP, how long have you been bulking for? A natty should be lean bulking straight for atleast 8 months to a year before cutting. If you are gaining to much weight then reduce your calories.
