Leangains Bulking Progress Photos

[JAnderson512]

I started this school year (August 29) at 6 foot 150 lbs at around at least 15% body fat and as of today I am 175 lbs and roughly 10% body fat, 18 years old. I followed the leangains bulking protocol.

The Picture titled "a (3)" is the before picture and all others are after photos. I am very pleased with the progress but should have went for more mass rather than trying to stay lean while bulking but I literally ate all I could fit into the 8-hour feeding window.
I ate very healthy, never drank pop, never drank alcohol, never missed a workout and never slacked in the gym so I have no regrets.

Critiquing is welcome, and actually wanted, to get some more advice on lagging bodyparts that you may notice. The lighting in these "after" photos are to my advantage but it was very similar lighting to my before pics so that should at least show the progress.

Thank you, much appreciated.

[JAnderson512]

Actually yes I just took some with these they just wouldnt fit in the first post. I'm not going to lie I didn't work legs very hard until the past few weeks, regret not starting sooner.

Thank you, yes it is intermittent fasting. http://www.leangains.com/2010/04/leangains-guide.html I looked over everything and every link on this page here and eventually picked up all the information I needed to do it myself. If you have any other questions about it after reading feel free to ask.

Yes I know :/ But I did the 16 hours fasted from 9 at night to 1 in the afternoon then ate until 9 and so on... Or did you mean what I ate?

[theproctologist]

both actually, the times and what exactly you ate. I take it you trained in the mornings then?

At 1 I would eat usually one cup of brown rice 1 chicken breast 4 eggs and one piece of toast (could usually eat more here but didn't)
Workout at 3
Get done around 5 and I would drink a 650 cal weight gain shake with one cup of rice, 3 eggs, one chicken breast, 3 packs of oatmeal, a banana, a burrito made with ham eggs and cheese, and a can of canned chicken
Then at 9 I would have 3/4 serving of weight gainer mixed with milk

At the meal at 1 I would try to not eat so much that I would have much food in my stomach during the workout. All the rest of the time I ate as much as I possibly could.

[JAnderson512]

I know sorry they all got mixed together, the before pic was titled "a (3)". Thanks for the compliment and yes LG seems to be fantastic!! Although the idea when I first looked at it seemed very off and almost like it couldn't work.

[JAnderson512]

did you keep track of macros? thanks for the info

I kept track of macros for a week or so then I just found out how much I needed to be eating to gain weight consistently. If the scale quit going up I would add in a little more chicken or some form of carbs or something I didn't get horribly caught up in counting because it took too much time.

[theproctologist]

good stuff dude!

[JAnderson512]

good stuff dude!

Thanks if you have any other questions just let me know

[rushki]

[JAnderson512]

Did you actually cycle the carb amount daily?
I mean high carb on w/o days and low on rest.

[TheSecondName]

very nice progress. the more I see about leangains, the more i become intressted.

[JAnderson512]

I actually did but didn't even realize it. On off days I took in probably 100 Grams less of carbs than on workout days mainly just due to not consuming the weight gain shake post workout and only eating one cup of rice instead of two.

[JAnderson512]

very nice progress. the more I see about leangains, the more i become intressted.

Thanks, and yes I would recommend it from personal experience. I think its worth it if it will fit your schedule.

[JAnderson512]

Anybody know how to imbed pictures?

[Oceanbreezeez]

Fuaarrkk, you gained 25lb lean in 6 months?

[JAnderson512]

Fuaarrkk, you gained 25lb lean in 6 months?

Yeah I guess so. It had alot to do with beginner gains obviously, but also had alot to do with the effort I put into it. I know I wont gain 25 more lbs these next six months (unless it was some fat)

[ericb14]

Thanks for all the compliments! and yeah I also mix 2-3 eggs (cooked over easy) into the cup of rice and also put a can of canned chicken in and it tastes really good but kind of a weird mix though. I basically eat the same foods most of the time I just start mixing them in different ways and it keeps things different.
