That doesn't make me feel better about the beard situation.

It is okay Szu. I can't grow a semi-decent beard either. Can't go full samurai 
Yup... Cheat day has arrived and once again I'm 175.2. After hi rep shoulders and tris I'm getting a couple pizzas, doughnuts, and ice cream and my kids and I are going to watch Interstellar. Ten thousand calories or bust!
EDIT: Hold the phones!! Wife got called off her shift. Bread pudding and chocolate covered strawberries have now been added to the menu.

compound is what you should be doing. where are you at in terms of body type currently?
The pizza is about 4000. Ice cream 2500. Doughnuts 1000. Bread pudding and strawberries roughly 2000. That's about 10k right there and I just bought a new jar of PB&Co. Very possible!
Been a minute since I was consistent, but I am finally buckling down and making the gym a priority again. I was thinking of something like this:
Workout 1
Heavy bench
Chest/light arms
Workout 2
Heavy deadlift
Back/light arms
Workout 3
Heavy ohp
Shoulders
Workout 4
Heavy squats
Legs
Accessory work will be chosen based on how the heavy portion went. My heavy lifting rep scheme will probably be %age based off my calculated 1rm at first. Cardio is gonna be basketball a few non lifting nights a week. I eat and sleep well enough already which is why I'm not a fat fuck. Abs and many pull ups will be done at home in between rocket league matches haha.
Any suggestions?

Goddamn. I'll admit, I'm impressed.
Definitely don't replace your compound with isolated movements but if you want bigger arms, add bi and tri accessories to back / chest days

Goddamnit, hour and a half to eat 2,000kcal.
I'm not doing IF next time I bulk, it's a nightmare with heavy cardio days.

Wait, did you just like eat straight peanut butter in a bowl?
Is that what you guys have been doing?
I don't know what to think anymore, I can't eat peanut butter by itself, it has to be on toast or in something. It just seems so blah

Had to bail out of a squat for the first time today. Actually... surprisingly easy.
How'd you do it?

Using a power rack, so I just leant forwards until the safety pins caught the bar.
Yeah I would never squat without the safety pins. I just kinda wondered if it was better to lean forward or kinda toss it back. I guess sometimes you don't have a choice.

Booked in for a body fat percentage check at my gym using calipers next Monday, I think I'm under 20%? Want to get down to 12% before my first ever proper bulk, I can't wait to eat more
I usually have it in a bowl with jelly, and a huge glass of whole milk...but psycho won't eat jelly since he's British.

Jelly:
I don't have bread in the house, so not much I can put it on. Skippy has been fine being eaten like, that, but I really don't like the natural stuff.
@_Isaac: No, I didn't make it. That was this stuff: http://www.meridianfoods.co.uk/Products/Peanut-Butters/Conventional/Peanut-Butter-Crunchy-100
How long have you made it without doing it? Did you previously just not attempt a rep if you weren't sure?

There's no "correct" macros. Speak to one person and you'll get one set, speak to another and you'll get something completely different.
The only vague consensus you might get around here is to eat about 1g / lb body weight of protein when cutting (this is quite debatable, but it's a number most can live with).
I always tend to go for it. Re-racking the weights sucks if you fail, but I've done plenty of reps that I wouldn't have believed I'd have been able to do based on the rep before.

Protein .82-1g/LBM or BW
Fats and carbs don't matter that much but basically something like this:
Fat min. 50g or so
Rest from carbs
Yea I might do that.
Going fine except I haven't been able to put anything new up in a while, since I've been bogged down with my thesis. Luckily that's over with so I can get back to writing I hope. Not sure if it's a good excuse but whatever

OK, 380 x 3 on the deadlifts today. Rotating to trap bar next week, and going to try for 400 x 3. God help me.

This seems way too much. I will basically need to consume 200 grams of protein a day, how I'm supposed to hit that?
It been a while since I did a serious weight loss diet (10 years or so). From what I remember I did a basic low fats diet back then, but I'm willing to try new stuff.

That's one of the lower numbers you'll read on the subject. OP actually talks about 1.5g / lb.
...and yeah, getting a decent amount of protein in is hard, but sorting a proper diet was never going to be easy.

As psycho said, that's the least you'll see recommended. Chicken, lean meats, etc. all have a ton of protein, and if you need to supplement with a shake, you can get 65 grams or so for ~ 500 calories.

i didn't get the knife. then again i didn't get the fork they had extra. i should have just ordered something that needed that. the burger wasn't bad. should have gotten another burger that was twice the size.
and ordered the onion tower.
How much you weigh? What's your bodyfat %? What do you do for exercise?

You know you just casually belted out a dream goal of mine, right?
That's awesome, and I'm trying not to be jelly
To hit 6k calories? I'm sure we could get you there pretty easily as long as you don't need it to be "clean"
