And you stole my motto, Lishie! Seriously, OP...eat in a surplus and lift heavy $#!/.

Always hungry, always hangry. Even on a bulk I still want more food.

Sorry, my legs are lean, but they aren't thin. Loads of muscle I've worked hard for on them.

Yup...Christmas Abbott...though I don't Crossfit LOL

I'll PM you.

The idea is to do your 5x5 and then ADD assistance work in hypertrophy range on top of your 5x5. So, do your 5x5 work and then do DB OHP, curls, shrugs, etc. at 3x6-12 or whatever.

Gotta be carful with those measurements. My measurements come out to 24% by and by bodpod I'm at 17-18%. But I agree with the above. As a female, I don't even bulk until I'm at 16-17% bf. Currently running my third bulk now (5'5", 128 lbs, eating 2500 cals on week 3).

You don' need a protein powder to get your protein. Eggs, chicken, fish, beef, pork, tofu, etc. Even beans will help get you to your recommended levels. If you do need a supplement, you can try others as well. It might be the whey, it might be other ingredients. I have issues with sucralose--literally turns my stomach. I…

Hey Shane! I can't answer because I'm not a guy :neutral:

Jo, your input is not welcome here, he very specifically asked for "guy advice." :wink:

What's your current routine? Kinda missing some info here.
-
Yup.

AMEN!

LMFAO!!! Thank you for this!!!

Damn...bicep one.

Just keep lifting, eat your protein, and don't lose too fast. The faster you lose, the more of a chance that you're losing LBM along with your fat. It's not a race.

Hahaha...no worries! The key to bulking is to start from a low enough body fat %. My first bulk I started at 14% body fat (which was way too low for me) and bulked for 20 weeks, gaining 6 lbs total (after initial water weight was shed) 4 lbs were LBM, 2 lbs were fat. Second bulk wasn't as clean for a variety of reasons,…

Just jumping in here a few days late. I was close to where you are: 5'6", 114 lbs, size 0 before I started bulking. I've gone through two bulk/recomp (I refuse to actually cut) cycles and am currently 127 lbs, size 2, and look a million times better. Just eat at a small surplus, lift heavy, and stick with it.

I agree.

Love you, Joe :-*

I agree with Paige. I always do precooked **when** I can. But I'll use post-cooked and recalculate if that's my only option.
-
I'm 5'6" (close enough) and am currently 127-128 (size 2). I'd gotten as low as 114, but have gone through two bulk cycles. Lots of lifting and maintain at 2400 cals.

If you're talking about Nia Shanks' stuff, she's seriously amazing. I've been lifting for a few years and I still use her templates when designing programs.
-
Yeah, but that was before my two bulks/cuts LOL
-
Awww...you tagged me!!! Yup--heavy lifting, good food and plenty of gelato.

Weekly...when I remember.
