[AxeKnife]

I am constantly stuck around 170s and would like to be above 180. is bulking past it and eating a lot of carbs the only way to do it? "also keep in mind I still want to be shredded"

[WonderPug]

A caloric surplus works wonders.

[PhiSig2298]

40/40/30 works every time

[TheHolyCannoli]

I want to gain some weight....also keep in mind I still want to be shredded

And you want to do this concurrently I suppose?

I've use 40/40/25 if I want to stay shredded or 40/40/50 if I want to bulk to Jay Cutler proportions.

[PhiSig2298]

for who?

For anyone that wants to gain weight silly

I went from 160 to 180 on a 50/50/50...wish I knew about the Cutler ratio

Agree cant go past the old 40/40/30

[WonderPug]

sarcasm? hopefully....

Obviously not. Phi is being totally serious.

Agree cant go past the old 40/40/30

Incorrect.

You need to use progressive overload of ratios if you want to be able to bulk.

Why would you use arbitrary numbers to dictate your macro requirements? And even worse, suggest that others use YOUR arbitrary numbers.

They're are not arbitrary. They're based on the This Is Spinal Tap principle.

[PhiSig2298]

Who is this anyone you keep talking about?

Anyone


Wait... Crap!

[WonderPug]

^ Does your wife know?

[PhiSig2298]

^ Does your wife know?

Does she know that Annie Wong uses a 40/40/30 ratio to gain weight?




Yes...

[PhiSig2298]

sarcasm? hopefully....

Well if we want to get technical, it does work.. But I don't condone using set ratios

[WonderPug]

Well if we want to get technical, it does work...

So it doesn't work if you're not a technical person?

I'm even more confused now than ever before.

Some jacked bro at my gym told me not to go with that ratio unless I was willing to give 110% all day everyday like him...I wasn't ready for that kind of commitment.

Just stick to Purina & you'll be good!
