Thanks everyone for the comments, this is exactly what I was after! I was hoping someone would say keep my workouts at the same pace!

Cheers man - done

Sounds like everything going to plan! Do you have any tips on cutting? I have been a regular gym go'er for many years but doing it totally wrong, so at 32 years old this is the first time I have officially 'bulked' and the first time I would have aimed at a cut, I'm not really clued up as to what I should be doing when the…

Hey Folkes, it's been a while. My weight gain plateaued, but I'm happy to say that after some re-evaluation of calorie intake and alterations to my workout regime my weight has been slowly increasing again, yesterday weighed in at 85.2kg which I'm really pleased with. I'm really excited to be starting a new program in the…

What program? You look pretty lean already, you realise it is harder to get the gains the bigger you are and 20 days is not really any decent length of time. Keep on doing what your doing, maybe look into your program and ensure its fit for purpose.

I would stop measuring yourself so much too, you'll give yourself a complex

Cheers Scott, I've been a regular gym go'er for many years, but I would say I e only really started lifting again 'properly' in the last 6-9 months. I jacked the stronglifts programme in quite a while ago now, I think it helped get me back into the swing of lifting again more than anything, I soon became bored of the same…

So here's a couple of updated pics. Any idea what's going on with my chest? It's looking abit wonky in pictures.

Such a difference!

Some of their specials are brilliant!

Dinner for work! I've gotta say all credit goes to the buff dudes channel 'food prep Sunday' I think it's a brilliant idea!!

Hey man, cheers for commenting, I think the trouble with stronglifts after using it for a while is that it is very much for a beginner, I hated coming out of the gym with no pump and feeling like I've not done anything. At the start you could do the whole routine without breaking a sweat!! Any tips for building my chicken…

A brief update, I've stopped doing the 5x5 workout, mainly due to it boring me to tears. I have made a lot of progress whilst doing the program in terms of strength, but I have not been happy in terms of size gains. I was reading a few days ago about gvt (German volume training). I started using the fundamentals of this…

Thanks for the advice guys I'll put it into practice next time, I will also get a vid of my squats to check soon. Thanks again!

Cheers! https://youtu.be/wVNL8K34Hr4

So it's been almost 2 months doing 5x5, I had to take a week out due to training away from home (for work) the app has automatically deloaded my weights, which I thought was pretty cool... If not surprising! Anyway, I have a video of today's deadlift, is my technique right? This is 105kg I'm 6ft 1 and weigh 81.8kg Ok how…

Haha I like to refer to them as baby cows, just their still in the fetul stage!

Thanks all. Cheers Tiberius, really wish I had taken Measurements when I started, I'm the guy that always skipped leg day and my legs are tiny spindles, the great thing about this program is its forcing me to squat each time, and although I don't see any noticeable differences in my legs they have definitely grown as my…

Not yet, but I feel like I'm close to deloading, I used to do a lot of rowing, which I think has given me a head start.

So it's been a month, I won't put any pics up until I have finished my 12 program on stronglifts. Before starting the program I was a fairly regular gym user, although my workouts were very stale, and all over the place, and I'd never make any progress. Stronglifts has given me a sense of direction and something to focus…

I suppose switching barbell press to a dumbbell press could help here then, I think it stems to when I used to row, I would always take the same seat in the boat which meant I always used one side of my body!

Also tagged! Damn dude you have done some impressive cutting!! Do you specifically target abs when you work out or are yours just a result of your compound lifts? I'd love to know, looks like your well on your way to a washboard stomach!

I attend a metafit class once a week, this is a 20 min high intensity workout.

Hit my first goal of 172lbs yesterday :)

I'll try and find a before pic, I have been back in the gym properly for around 2 months now along with my increased food intake, starts to notice some good gains.

I'm gonna have to try peanut butter although it's not a particular taste I enjoy!!

Mainly eating a lot of rubbish put try to eat a lot of rice and pasta, eggs, chicken. Just loads of it!

Aiming for 4000 cals a day here, I've been doing this for the last couple of weeks, it's sometimes been a struggle to physically eat the food! Thankfully things seem to be getting easier as my body gets used to the increased intake. Never really noticed any changes but this app has really helped me keep on top of what I'm…
