I'm 6'1 and i weigh 164. ( I look a little chubby.. )
I have a mini gym in my basement, i work my body every 2 days.

I just want some tips, should i start cutting or bulking?
Got a good routine that could work out for me?
I don't give a f*ck about the trolls, haters gonna hate.
How should i eat?

Cut til you feel lean, then bulk for around 12 months (See how it goes)
Read the stickies in each category and research more.
Look into BLSS and adapt a good routine from that.

Sorry but not everything can be written in one post. Anything specific than do ask.

Not really sure why you said you were chubby.. You're 6'1 and 164 lbs.. That's skinny. Also saw your profile pic.

If I were you, start bulking now. Look up starter routines.

hes 164lbs at 6'1 the **** you mean cut for 12 months are you stupid or something?

Workout frequently
find a good routine
eat plenty of food
make sure form is on point before going heavy on lifts as you progress
ignore red ****s that tell you to cut at 164 lbs for 12 months

you should be good

[AustinHartford]

just work out. dont worry about cutting or bulking. you will gain size and strength regardless for the first few months. Just lift

Hey Zyne,

I'll lay this out simple for you.

First of all, bodybuilding is about 99% diet the extra 1% is the workouts. I've had a quick look at your profile picture and seen that you are light weighted - so I'd definitely recommend you bulk. I'm not going to spoon feed you everything but I'll give you a very basic guideline of what to do. You can tweak what I say later to fit you more accurately.

Diet
This is the most important part - yet its soo very simple. What I do is use FitDay (sign up) and enter all of my custom foods into the diary (just enter what it says on the packet and it'll tally it all up for you).

Guidelines for what your body needs is very simple: shoot for 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight, .5g of fat per lb of bodyweight and fill the rest with any combination of protein/fats/carbs to complete the rest of your diet (to fill your calories up basically). So this, for you, would mean that you need 164g of protein and 82g of fat. That comes to 1394 calories. This is the part I'll let you figure out for yourself. You now need to find out what your maintenance calories is (a number of calories you should consume to not gain or lose weight). To do that, simply read this thread. Once you've figured out your recommended daily intake then you make the decision to bulk or cut. I'd go with bulk if I were you - all you do from there is add 10-20% calories onto your maintenance calories (I'd do 20%). I cannot stress this enough, so I'll underline it and everything.. *make sure you get enough fresh veg and fruit.* - These are called your micro nutrients and are essential. Once you have got enough protein, fat, fruit and veg in your diet then you can fill your calories with whatever you like.. junk food, chocolate, crisps (potato chips), pizza.. whatever. Personally I have currys every second night and pizzas every night.. and doritos with salsa most nights.. I'm sure you get the point.

Training
This is the easy part. Decide on what you want to do and go for it. Do you want to build your strength and lift heavier weights? Go for Babylover's Starting Strength which can be found: here. Or do you want to get bigger, more muscular etc? Go for All Pro's Beginners Routine - its mainly designed for hypertrophy and can be found: here

Follow the routine which I posted last post. It pretty much is made for strength gains. It will really help, you can do all of the exercises pretty much at home. Do that routine for about 4 months and you will see significant gains in strength. I've been doing my own routine which is like SS but with a upper/lower day split. And my squats have jumped up 60lbs, OHP jumped 30lbs, bench jumped 30lbs, and rows jumped up 60lbs in about 2 weeks give or take a few days.
