This is extremely exciting or anything, but was interesting to me. I remember reading the FAQ's a while ago about the amount protein a person should consume to build muscle(title is Diet and Nutrition). I decided that I was going to try to figure out if I could gain a considerable amount of muscle using a lower consuption of protein in my diet, yet keep the calories high enough to gain weight. I started bulking at roughly 170#'s at kept my protein at about 100 grams a day. For last two cycles I have been gaining just as much muscle and weight as my bulks before. I did 4 months of bulking and decided to do another 6 week cycle after that. So, almost half a year of bulking. This last 6 weeks have been practically a waist, since I only gained 1/8'' on most places (less on some muscle groups). I just haven't been eating enough, plain and simple. Overall in that time frame I put on a little over 1'' on my arms. I still have to measure chest and legs, etc. I got up to 194#'s, and believe I may have been able to gain more mass using the same protein intake, as long as I keep increasing calories. Eventually though, I will have to raise the protein. I plan on loose some fat very soon, because I don't look pleasing in the mirror IMO. I got to be pushing roughly 15% bodyfat know.
