KK, was more curious about rep ranges- Is it hypertrophy/BB style stuff?
I like lifting quite heavy for my exercises 6-9 reps is ideal for me.

I used to be a very skinny guy at 6'0. My goal was from 159 to 176 lbs by 1st of april and now after almost 2 months of training and eating around 3500-4000 cals a day I'm at 174 lbs with a little fat on the lower abs.
Should I keep the same bulking process until april the 1st?
I'm trying to lower my fat intake a bit since I want to see my abs in a couple of months.
I'm pretty much eating everything I can besides fast food, preferably meat. Oatmeal, milk, quark and banana shake every day and a sandwich here and there. Started to take +1 whey shake when I get up and eat 200g cottage cheese before bed two weeks ago to get some more protein.What is your daily intake of food to reach those levels of cals? I need to go a similar route as my metabolism is fast. Just wondering what you eat so I can see if it is doable for myself.
Enjoy it. I sometimes wish I was always built to be lean, but I embrace the fact that I can add mass extremely easily, and still manage to cut down.This is what I have every day, 1200 calories in weight gainer shake + 6 meals + snacks(almonds, fruit and peanut butter sandwich) and its still hard for me to gain weight. Dat dere metabolism

Went into bulking through the fall, here's me mid bulk (5/3/1 training). About 205 lbs.
Move to me working with my trainer to cut down. All these pics were taking toward the end of my cut, just before Christmas. I'm still about this same size and leanness, just a tad softer. 186 lbs 9-10%.

It's probably my favorite workout tool. Between than and Myfitnsspal the OCD in me gets fed and keeps me on track, making the whole thing one big MMO.
Woke up way too early today. Given my schedule for 5/3/1 now (3 day a week) I'm not supposed to workout today, but I'm debating just moving back to my damn 4 day schedule. Thought 3day would make recover easier while cutting, but just leaves me anxious to lift.
It's that or more Skyrim I suppose.
I love it just as a template for what my routine is going to look like. I can really see gains based on performance from looking at my history. So when I get discouraged because I feel like I'm at a stand still, I just take a look back. It's funny how just one more rep can keep you motivated.

Anyway, you guys wanted pics of my recent progress, here's what I've got.
Not as much as you think. Although I have seen some great strength gains while on this last cut. Haven't done flat, but my incline bench is 315. Squat: 405 (Don't hate. I did not train them normally during this cut, so I do not know standard reps). DL: 485.Dam dude. How much you bench, dead lift, and squat.
Nah you're right. Going into this last round of bulking I took note of my biggest weak points. 1. Traps. 2. Lats. They still aren't caught but they are much better than before, it's hard to tell in the pics though.Darth looking good m8. Only crit would be lack of width on the back (could be photo).. plenty of thickness tho. Well done sir.
So today I wanted to try going to the gym in the morning just to see how I liked it. It's a whole new group of people, and there was one guy that was just grunting like crazy. I normally don't mind grunts, but this guy took it too far. It made me uncomfortable. It was a mixture of shouting, counting, grunting, moaning, self-coaching, and orgasms. He was basically re-enacting gay porn. Really bizarre.
headphones, brother

Also can I just say that it is really starting to wear on me how many people juice. I pretty much have no more bodybuilding friends that don't use, or have no plans to. Everyone has expressed to me that they plan to soon. Even had a guy tell me that I should just start using soon because I'm probably going to hit my limit and based on my current progress I'd see some amazing gains. He even offered to give me his "doctor's" info.
I mean damn. I see why so many people do it. The peer pressure is astronomical. It ain't happening.

Do pull ups work your pecs? my chest always feel bigger onve I'm done doing pull ups, isn't it more of a back/biceps excercise?
Darth beast.
I gotta keep taking days off cuz I'm not recovering well at all. It's fucking me up.
Darth: you are a monster, mang. Question about your skin - it appears "loose" in places for lack of a better term. Were you fat or heavier before you got so ripped/big?
Looks like she's doing more than just squats.
Either I think she looks gross. Muscles / serious definition and veins on girls is not sexy (imo).
Anybody use fitocracy?
swole pics
Fitness gaf, girls who squat, yes/no?

Vascular girls become completely flat unless they get implants, unfortunately. Not an ideal look to me when it requires that to preserve femininity.
Thats really the case? :/ huh

Peer pressure and diminishing returns. I have no interest in exogenous hormones because I don't want gains that I can't maintain naturally. Im also big enough that a cycle of dbol or whatever would make me much bigger than I'd like to be. I already get accused.of being on the bike, I don't want to look that juicy.Also can I just say that it is really starting to wear on me how many people juice.

1. I'm a beginner, should I be squatting my ass as low to the ground as possible?
2. I really want to eat more so I can gain weight, but I don't know how much to eat or of what. I don't eat unhealthy. I'm just assuming I'm not eating enough good stuff. I believe I need to learn how to break everything down into macro-nutrients, figure out how much protein, cholesterol, and fats I need, but I have not a clue how to do it. How should I go about this?
3. How is my deadlift form? Tips?

I'll never understand the glove hate here on GAF. Plenty of people (including professionals) use them. As long as you can achieve a solid grip (they're not too loose), then you avoid most calluses.
I was going to say, those hips aren't squatting.DAT NO ASS
She probably does leg extensions.
Imo it looks like you're squatting with a bar in your hands. You're not pulling.3. How is my deadlift form? Tips?
