Yeah i just recently bulked from 180 in my profile picture to about 230 lbs in about a year lost my abs and got a crap load of stretch marks =(, but its impressive your still looking good after a 23 pound bulk.

My post does help with caloric surplus which is last time i checked a big part of bulking but your right =) By the way whats your bf% if i may ask? Looking good at 191!

I know its a weight gain forum but why don't you read the original post buddy it has nothing to do with weight gain so what are you getting at? Only addressing original post that happens to be in the weight gain forum. Obviously this thread as wondered a little off subject don't we agree. So lets not throw a temper tantrum…

Yeah your right it is 4 calories, I was too late to edit it =P I'm on a very low carb diet and can't think straight =( So i don't know how to your respond enigmatic question but i will try to the best of my ability. In previous posts it has come to a general consensus that somotypes are a myth. So if thats the case…

Eat that donut unless your allergic. If it meets your macros than go for it. Calorie in Calorie out. I would get all my protein in first before eating that donut given if you have calories,fat,sugars,carbs left over in your daily intake than go for it. Don't be afraid of food.

BMI charts are inaccurate because it only calculates weight vs height. For example according to BMI chart said i was almost morbid obese being 6'1 230 lbs(I have tree trunk legs) but you can obviously tell by my profile picture that I'm far from it. Body fat percentage is far more accurate which lean muscle mass to body…

1 fat gram = 9 calories 1 carb gram = 9 calories For example your fat maintenance number is 80g if you hit 81g thats a extra 9 calories you add your daily calories. Same with lowering fat or carbs. Find your ideal maintenance for those macros and play with it.

Add me!

Try the Insanity program its a solid HIIT program. I got shredded when i was cutting a year ago( You sweat like crazy!). Get some thing to measure your heart rate. Especially watch your knees make sure you land soft for any Plyometric exercises.

Being fit is a lifestyle. It takes time and dedication sounds a little cliche but you will get there. I would start with your diet first figure out your macros(start with a 500 calorie deficit adjust if needed) and than start small by walking 30 - 40 minutes a day.

What above said. =D You will drop weight fast if you cut carbs out completely but you feel like crap but i guess thats the price to pay for a quick solution. Drink more water!

Coffee will suppress hunger and also the caffeine will make you go to the bathroom a lot so in turn you will lose water weight.

You need to find out what your body fat percentage is first before bulking or it will be all counter productive than you can accurately calculate protein to lean body mass ratio. The less accurate method would be protein to body weight usually people that maintain have a .08 - 1 gram of protein per bodyweight if your 140…

Broscience. Calories in calories out. Each carb and fat is equal to 9 calories. For example if your target fat 98 grams and carbs 350 but you get 100 grams of fat and 360 carbs thats adding 18 extra calories in fat and 90 calories in carbs which equates to 108 extra calories you need to add your daily calorie intake.

Eggs and whey powder would be the cheapest/healthiest protein sources. 6'4 145 pounds you need start weight lifting and lift heavy. calorie surplus and high protein macros. Recommended protein to lean muscle mass given your that skinny you probably don't have much fat on you should be .80 - 1 gram but i would go higher…

Low intensity cardio would be best and yoga. I wouldn't do any weight lifting at all.

It's natural for one side to be stronger than the other it will get better over time. Just keep doing those compound workouts(It will also give a crazy strong core!).

The scale will fluctuate few pounds here and there(water weight, muscle loss/muscle gain etc). Body fat percentage would be the most accurate to determine your overall health and fitness, which is the ratio of lean muscle mass to body fat. once you determine that you can google the chart it will tell you what ends of the…

Do a lot of cardio starting with low intensity(keeping your heart rate down) such as a 30 minute to 1 hour walk or jog etc... Than once you get accustomed and drop some weight go for high intensity interval training(Insanity is a good one) to really speed up the process. It will also get rid of a lot of water weight due to…

Keep your potassium and sodium ratio 2:1 which means if you have 2000mg of sodium have 4000mg of potassium which adds up a lot anyway if eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, and lean meat. Plus believe or not drinking more water helps eliminate water retention. I drink at least a gallon a day.

As long as your meeting your macros and below your calorie intake for the day. It sounds good! I've had all my calories & protein(204g) in one meal before and felt fine. Your body is smart and adapts.

Yes!
