If you wanna do a dreamers bulk then it doesn't matter, you'll get fatter than if you didn't indulge too much. But when you want to do a lean bulk, you want to mitigate spilling over as much as possible. There isn't really such a thing as "clean" eating and "dirty" eating per se. It all comes down to macronutrients and how they fit into your needs. If you wanna have a double double from in-n-out then that's just fine, but you'd have to be wary of the amount of fats in your meal and allocate the rest of your fats for the rest of the day accordingly, also calories.

How much of the cake are we talking about here?
I have to do incline press on the smith machine as it's strict, if I try free weights my shoulder hurts a little bit. There's no problem with flat or decline though, and for shoulder press I have to use a neutral grip. It sucks, but I've found a workaround and luckily my shoulders had a lot of mass before it happened.
Eat a surplus of calories with plenty of protein and you will gain muscle. Don't sweat that part!
What was their routine? Oh and what did the other guy look like?

Eight pack abs. Reminded my of Hugh Jackman with better legs.
They were doing their WOD--Workout of the day, which involved a lot of Olympic lifts--Clean and jerks, snatches, hang cleans, power cleans.
I found a gym about 10 minutes away with bumper plates and a deadlift stage! That's the good news. Bad news? They don't allow chalk. Seriously? You have all the shit set up for oly lifts and you won't let me use chalk?
I'm half tempted to just drive to iron sport once a week. It's only 35 min away.

Maybe use liquid chalk? They might not notice, and it's less messy.
I thought about this. I really want access to those bumper plates and the gym is only 40.00 a month (compared to the crossift gym that's 120 a month)
This was totally not on the diet, but had to get something for my dog last night at Walmart and wife and I were craving ice cream something fierce. They had some ice cream in pints from 2nd Street Creamery and it looked good so she got the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and I got the Limerick Cherry Chocolate. It's super premium ice cream so it has more milk fat in it.. Really good stuff, recommend checking it out if you're bulking or on a cut and have a moment of weakness.
I recommend actually getting the strawberry one as the chunks of pie crust in it were awesome. The ingredients in the ice cream were all really solid and I believe no artificial flavors.

Gonna check bench 1RM this morning. I have a feeling it's gonna be as unimpressive as my squat is. Low end I'd expect 370, high end 385-390. Also, still dropping weight/fat. Every day I look thinner, lol.
Haha a bench in that range is definitely not unimpressive. Let us know how it goes

For me it is, I've been there since before my cut last summer. Will do.

Was he wearing a shirt? If not that's pretty damn good.

Lol, that's pretty awesome.
How do you do it? Were you doing carb backloading?

I'm CBLing again, but again, not 100% from the program. Just not eating carbs until the evening and limiting them even then on "off" days. Plus I'm not a student sitting on my ass anymore. Since I got hired at the prison I keep on my feet quite a bit.
I walked everywhere in college...lol

Yes, but you sat in your classes for hours. You probably also sat at home working on homework and you weren't in school 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

Mind you I was a 20 something and like most 20 somethings your metabolism is thru the roof. Went to the gym there too and ran...
I really didn't have 8 hours of classes a day though. Probably didn't have more than 2-3 classes a day and most of those ran an hour.
Shoot I wanna see that.
I have been lifting for years and have always had a complete mental block when it comes to 225 bench. I cannot stand it. I want nothing more than to be able to rep it out 5-6 times.
Recently I put up 205 4 times but the second I slap 2 plates on I immediately think "nope" and sure enough I pop it off my chest and it goes absolutely no where.
I'm getting seriously pissed.
Layne Norton's numbers from this morning's T-Nation article:
And that guy is ripped at that weight!
You have little to be modest about, Shogun. Kick ass and keep us posted.

Weighing in at just under 234. Definitely see some changes in my body. So far, so good.
Gonna try for a 350 squat. I think I can get 6-8 reps.
He's only 220ish? God damn, I thought he was a lot bigger. Incredible stuff.
And yeah Shogun, bench pressing that is ridiculous. You can do it!

No shit? My apologies then. Must have missed some pages.
Yeah they're more of a treat when you tire of constant chicken.
i ate 9 yesterday

Quest bars have a pretty huge following in this thread, the weight loss thread, and even to some degree the Paleo thread.
Also the other fitness threads.
They're pretty good...a great option if you want a low carb/low sugar bar.
That seems pretty silly.
Also, cheap ON. 5lb for $41
Code = SPRING20SOAP
Seems rotating flavors coming in and out of stock, chocolate malt being available at the moment.
couldn't help myself
Hey whatever they're nutritionally sound enough, but seems like overkill.

Absolutely disgusted with myself.
I've regressed a year's worth of progress on my bench (maybe). The only good thing is I weighed in at 229 today.
I may have made a mistake of jumping from 355 to 375. But that shouldn't have mattered. I should have gotten 375 no problem. Hopefully deadlift doesn't let me down tomorrow.
375 fail (this was the second attempt at 375)

355 good, but this was my max a year and a half ago.

Probably due to poor programming after my cut and the fact I'm still leaning out, plus I'm a bitch.
I still feel like a bitch. I need/want 400.

How small is she? I have this inzer belt and they fit me well. I'm only 5'4" btw (damn Vietnamese genes). I see several girls using these Inzer belts as well at my gym. Also remember that the belt is there to help engage your core, not necessarily as a support that prevents injuries.
Sold out already... wow
Two brights spots here.
- Congrats on being an advanced lifter dropping weight. There's still something to be said for maintaining numbers like that.
- You hunger for PRs. Ergo, you'll put in your work and conquer.
Nine Quest bars @ 18g/fiber EACH?
Trips to the restroom must be analogous to the Incredible Hulk bursting out the back of your ass.
Tends to happen, especially with ON deals. I posts em as soon as I sees em.

I guess. I think the issue is I dropped my training max too low after the cut since I was faily weak in all areas after it and I was hitting cardio hard. I probably dropped it too low. I also neglected the tricep work that got me really strong in the first place when I went to that two day split. Then add in the weight loss (which indicates calorie deficit) and I'm pretty sure somewhere in there is the answer.
Bottom line is it was my fault and I need to fix it. My deadlift has been consistently strong, so hopefully tomorrow is a pickmeup.
Also, I need to remember I've only really been training for 2 years and 8 months. I gots time.
Bad wording on my part.
And she has tried my belt which is basically the same size as you posted but she said it pressed her ribcage too much. It's not that she's small but when you have that hourglass figure a wide belt can be a bit hard to use.
I noticed you hit the underside (or front) of the rack on the way up...I've done this...scares the shit out of me.
The deadlift is a strange beast, seemingly resilient to weight cuts and body recompositions. It's kind of cool, actually.
It's crazy to think of it like that. You are years out from hitting your prime. Are you going to continue on 5/3/1 or have you considered an alternative such as Westside?
