First you need to decide which one of your goals you'd like to accomplish first. Gain muscle, or get "leaner" in which I think in this case you mean tone. The reason I say this is because they both require opposite processes. Meaning, building muscle requires caloric surplus. While "toning" requires a caloric deficit.…

Dextrose is also a good one to use for carbs. I use it in my post workout shake with creatine and protein since I can't eat a full meal after working out.

That's all fat. Even if you're a genetic beast and a beginner to weight lifting you're lucky to gain more than 3lbs of muscle a month. But if you're goal is to just gain any kind of weight, then congrats!!!

...... Depends on how much you eat. All seriousness though, 3500 calories above maintenance equals 1lb. So depending on how much above maintenance you're eating, you could figure out roughly how fast you're gaining. So if your maintenance is 2000 (just throwing a number out there) and you're eating in a surplus of 500 per…

What I'm saying is, the lower your body fat percentage is when you begin bulking, A. The better your body does partitioning that surplus to go towards new muscle and not towards fat. B. If you're going for looks, then bulking at a higher BFP will look bad. For example if a guy with 20% BFP starts bulking vs. a guy starting…

For folks that are dieting for extended periods of time your metabolism will slow down. Meaning the natural rate at which your body burns calories at rest, decreases. A re-feed, basically increasing carbs for a day or couple days in your case, tells your metabolism, hey pick up the pace again we're not starving ourselves…

I'll second this!!! Folks are always eating more than what they actually think they are. Then they get the scale and realize what had been happening. Good luck!!! Don't forget to zero out when adding things together!!!! Lol

Good luck!!! I just applied for a spot with the local PD where I live. Stay focused on your goals and you'll succeed!!

How long have you been dieting for and how much weight have you lost? When you diet for a extended period of time your bodies metabolism will slow down as it believes it's beginning to go into starvation mode. It no longer burns as many calories at rest than it did before. So introducing a re-feed day is common and…

I've learned that 1.1-1.2g/lb of current body weight is going to help. 25% of total calories is a fair fat percentage, and the rest comes from carbs. Remember 1g of protein and carb equals 4kcals and fat 1g equals 9kcals. I would pay attention to all three as you want to make sure that the surplus in your calories is…

Thanks Chesnity!!!

So a sample workout would be on an A day, it consists of leg press, bench press, seated cable rows, tricep extension, and then finishing with standing calf raises. For leg press, bench, and seated cable rows, 3 sets trying to aim for 8-10 rep range. Once I hit 8-10 reps for each set the next time I do those workouts, I…

Jake Jacoby here. Almost ready to start my first caloric surplus cycle! Add me to follow along

If you know ahead of time, plan for it. Eat a hundred or so calories less each day leading up to it. Or, do cardio to burn what ever you think you may have gone over your alloted calories for that day

As a good number fats should account for 20%-35% of your total calorie intake. So for you, 32g-55g would be a good range. Your protein goal is good, some research shows 1.1g-1.2g of current body weight so 148g-162g. Carbs will then fill in what ever calories are left. So 32g-55g of fats at 9kcal per gram, would give you…
