Been doing it a about 12 months and I'm at 195lbs and 6'2, don't know body fat but I look ripped enough.

I don't really monitor/stick to a plan too aggressively but I'm clean bulking so all good.

nice one dave didnt realize you trained!

good to see another clean bulker!

im 5'11, 11 stone exactly/150lbs but have a very low body fat so results in terms of mass come through quick, i suppose its a good thing, but i cut bulk up enough to build some good mass and then cut to see even more results, still ripped as hell what more could i ask for, i just wont ever stand next to arnie

im just one of those fussy eater i suppose, but im still packing in the protein, carbs and good fats

more energy than ever before, compared to two years ago anyway so cant complain

I gave powders a try until i couldn't afford it lol, I'm current around 15-16 stone and the last time i went to the doctor he said i was over weight for my hight

, im currently eating boiled egg whites for protein and taking up power lifting , done with body building now.

just stick abit of cardio before breakfast or post workout buddy, making sure you got an energy drink of course, dont want to eat away at the muscle

powerlifting im pushing at the moment as my core strength is abit low, getting there though then ill turn specifically for mass!

Eggs no way are going to give youn the protein you need.

I eat like 250 grams of protein a day.

Thats a shit load of chicken, eggs and shakes.

Your muscles wont grow if you don't give them something to eat.

same as but ive only tried choco

the banana shake is it kinda sweet dave? the choco flavour is abit, how can i put it, plain

i hate eggs, so i tend to break up three and mix them in with a peach yogurt, you cant taste them, i don't do it often just for a 'pick me up'

im normally hitting about 200g a day, i try to have 2.5g per lbs of body weight, but i physically cant do it, so im slowly building it up though as my metabolism gets faster

It's a shame my dads in prison as i desperately need a gym partner and not a single one of my friends are into it, or can be bothered to go to the gym. weights at home doesn't feel halve as effective as the gym :( any of you two go to the gym on your own? I've tried and felt like a fool lol. and at one point a while ago i was taking in 1.5 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight, but i was around 10 stone then.... would need around 315 grams of protein now.

i train free weights at home

does mean i need to be extra careful and can't train to failure with stuff like bench press etc

thinking of getting a power rack, but too much money at the end of the day

i got given 200kg worth of plates about two weeks back so im not anywhere near needing the gym to go that extra weight

all i got is a bench a BB and two sets of DB's

if you need a spotter on a final set or something ask someone in the gym, nearly all the times ive asked they've been happy to help me out!

It's really nice, not much different to mcdonalds if you use good milk and a blender.

Same here, i only use free weights at home, to be honest it's all you need unless you want to be Arnie.

They key is breaking the back of it, it took me many months before I got strength and turned a corner from my weak untrained starting point, then comes the tone and then the ripps.

It doesn't happen overnight, most of the models you see in mens health are either on roids or have been doing it many, many years, or both.

When i bench at home i only used to use 1 bar clamp so if i get to the last rep and i cant get it up (which I've done many times ) all i have to do is tilt the bar and 1 side of the weights fall off, its dangerous at first though, been a couple of times where the weights have fallen of whilst in mid rep so i stick to around 20kg less then my max rep and stay at least 2 reps from my dead point. I'm currently looking for a job to be able to extend my weight collection ( only 95kg ) start buying powders again and start a new build

i really didn't expect anyone to even reply to this post due to my stereotypical attitude towards computer enthusiasts.
