Hello everyone! My nams is Frans and I am 21 years old. Currently, I am going into my senior year of college and I am a Psychology major (double major with Criminal Justice but Psychology is my main passion). Found this group when browsing MFP and thought I would definitely join since I love video games :) Not sure if I…

Wow, that is definitely some awesome progress in 9 weeks @pmm3437 great job man! You only rested 30-40 seconds? Right now I do it for about 60-75 seconds but I know once it starts getting heavier I will probably need more rest time. Is there any exercise besides the squat you are starting to struggle with? My starting…

@pmm3437 Hey man, just curious but how far have you progressed in your lifts over the last 8 weeks. I am doing this for about 10-12 weeks at a small calorie deficit (gained too much fat from my bulk haha) but just wanted to get some idea of the progression of weight in that time frame you know? OHP I started with just the…

Yeah I have the app and I watch not just Medhi's videos but several others on YouTube as well. Since I am new I know my form is still somewhat off (especially DLs lol) but I am trying my best to improve and do the exercises to the best of my ability! Was just curious to see how others were progressing with the program as…

I found this post on the forums and I just finished my first week of this program myself and so far I think it is great! Just wondering if the people who were doing this program are still doing it and how they are progressing? My starting weights this week were squat 65 lbs/bench 65 lbs/OHP 45 lbs (just the bar)/deadlift…

Wow did not realize I would get so many informative well-intentioned advice here on the forums (since this post had a little bit of a slow start)! Thank you everyone sincerely! I think I have a plan of action and I hope it goes well!

Lol it is all good! Most people think I do not even look 21. And really? That is awesome! I will do my best to utilize this advantage! And I will definitely do my best with the cut bulk and following cut! So June to Sept. is about 12 weeks, then Sept. to Feb. is about 5 months? Is that enough time for the bulk? I actually…

Haha it's alright man! And really? Well at least I got one thing going for me on this! Sweet, okay I am going to do my best man! Sort of lowered my eating to a little under 3000 this week so around 150 less than last week just to see how my body reacts to it and make the transition starting next week a little less..…

There was one week where I sort of went crazy on food during my final exams week and could not hit the gym so I ended up gaining like 2 pounds (before than averaging about half a pound to 1 pound a week). But I had tried to eat a little lower than what I was eating before that final exams week (had been eating around 3300…

Nick, I just turned 21 last month, haha I am not 19 years old. So you are saying if I cut now, do a longer bulk, and cut again by next summer I could look decent?

Hey man, I am about 5'7"ish. And yeah I had attempted to go slow but I don't know I guess I messed up somewhere along the way and accumulated way more fat then I would have liked. The first two or three months I thought I was making great progress since I was going up slowly and my waistline did not move much in that time…

@ceoverturf, it is totally fine and thank you for the consideration! jmule asked me for my weight from before and after and then took that and multiplied by (1-BF%) then subtracted final number minus initial number. He was basing my body fat off of my Omron device that I have though I again believe that it is not accurate…

@daniebanks thanks for that! Nice to know someone else is doing it and not following the diet to a tee. What are your current macros? And any progress so far?

@Ironmaiden4life , nah that picture is about a month old I think I have not updated it or any of those pictures in a fair amount of time. I am currently about 5 pounds heavier then my profile picture I believe (maybe 6). I wanted to cut because I feel have gained a little too much fat and that a cut could help me out…

Holy crap your transformation is amazing! Congratulations on all the hard work man!

Thanks for the advice guys! Will probably start a cut once this week is over!

Just starting out on a bulk as well (almost 4 months in) and from what I have been told, what you (OP) are proposing is impossible. As someone mentioned earlier, with the right caloric surplus (not too much so 250-500 calories), there will be minimal fat gain. Best of luck man!

LOL, yeah I think we all sort of just disregarded the post of that information since it did not really seem relevant here but what you said was hilarious Joe xD

Thank you guys :) @MrM27, for sure man! I do my best to make sure that I keep track of my weight and measurements to see which direction my body is headed in.

Hey everyone! So, this was my 12th week of my bulk I just completed. Admittedly a little disappointed since I lost a pound and a half but I still netted a 5 pound gain in the last 3 months so that is something! Here are some of my before and after my stats: Today's weight: 148 pounds (5 pounds gained since week 1) and the…

It is alright man, I lost like 1.5 pounds too so kind of sucks. You will push through and make week 9 better I know it :)

Are you on the app? If so you won't be able to post them the way I said. You would have to be on the laptop/computer.

If you have pictures saved on your computer, you can just attach them to these posts (there is a picture of a piece of paper just above the reply box when you are typing out the responses).

Wow yeah several people on my FL here. I use ice cream to fill in calories. Do you eat pasta? Definitely could help fill in the gap too!

Whoa, I got it right? Yes :) Guess I am on the right track thank you for clarifying this Dieselbyte!

@terizius, @Springfield1970, and @FrantaAthletics, thank you for the kind words everyone :) Can't wait to see how this last week goes! @keithcw_the_first, thanks man! I am not sure if you have heard of the Body Beast program but that's what I am currently doing so I do several exercises for each day and gave gotten a…

Sorry disregard that random P, my phone spazzed out. Anyway, hey everyone! I just finished week 11 of my bulk and I'm very excited for this final week of month 3! Weight: 149.5 lbs, +2 lbs. Chest: 38", +.125" Waist: 32.625", +.125" Arms flexed: 13.25", no change Thighs: 22.25", +.25" Neck: 15.25", +.25" Hips: 37.125",…
