I’m pretty similar in size to you, I think, 5’11”, 190lbs, BF 11-12%. For the past two months I’ve been on a pretty clean bulk, and plan on staying on it through the end of the year. I find my upper limit on calories is 35-3800 per day. This seems to allow me decent gains, without too much...

I plan on bulking through the Holidays. :)  Hopefully not too much fat gain, and thanks to my wife, even the holiday desserts are sugar free, but to me, this time of the year is the BEST time to bulk, hehe. I do plan on taking my next SD between Christmas and New Year's, and will probably assess...

I don't think carbs make you fat, I think too many calories of anything makes you fat. :)  Also, I think it's a matter of what TYPE of carbs, good, bad etc.   Over the past year, I have increased my carb intake dramatically over my my weight loss phase time, and have noticed no real increase in...

38 here. Got back into training about 10 months ago after nearly 10 years off. Been reading this site for quite some time, and am starting my first HST cycle next Monday. I'm really looking forward to it!

Leather99, Yeah, LC seems to work pretty well for me, as I managed to drop just over 100lbs in less than a year maybe 2 years back.  When I started getting back into heavy training however, I found that gains were pretty difficult for me, and I switched to more of a keto type plan over time...

That was kind of strange. When I made the original post, I was somehow logged in as another account. Eh, same person, but not an account I use. Oh well, this was actually from me if that, that makes any sense, LOL. Who knows, maybe it was an account I made back when I first discovered this site...

8--> I generally add 50 grams of dex to my post shake, and follow that up with a banana. My post shake is usually 50g of whey, 50g of dex, and 5g creatine. If I don't have a real food handy at the time, such as my favorite banana :) , I'll add another 20g of dex. I like to keep the carbs...

Well, I have finally finished my week of testing for RM’s, and am seriously looking forward to my 9 days of SD! (I can’t believe I’m actually saying that as a week ago I couldn’t imagine being out of the gym for that long, LOL). Anyway, I think things went pretty well, and have decided on the...

Thanks for the replies on this guys, and again, sorry I didn't find the info sooner. Also,NoPain, thanks for that link!  I read bb.com just about everyday and have NEVER seen this article before! Looks like a good one, and I'll give it a read ASAP.  :D

Forgive me if this info is somewhere, but I'm not really sure what to search for on it. I'm working on my rm's this week, and trying to figure out how to handle my increments on certain exercises. I'll be taking my SD starting this weekend, and starting my 15's the following week. My question...

My gym opens at 5am. I get out of bed at 4:30, make shake, drink shake, get dressed, drive to gym. Start working out around 5 after 5am. So eh, I guess I have the pre-shake\meal roughly 30 minutes before my workout. :) Post workout, I generally slam it down as soon as I'm back in the locker...

5'11", 190lbs, currently 11%BF - Starting 1st HST cycle in two weeks!

Currently, actually always, from the Lehigh Valley, in PA, USA - Allentown area.

New here, but just found this sticky :) I've been using it for a really long time now. Actually, since the first ISP I ever signed up with. I had to pick a name, couldn't think of anything that second, looked down at my dog, and thought of it, hehe. Basically, I used to own, God rest her soul...

I tend to fall in the same category as Luono. I'm currently in a "bulking" phase, and usually try to eat 500 cals above my maintenance level. (Maintenance for me is around 3000, so I try to hit 3500). There are days when it's just not possible, and days when I dip as low as 2800. (of...

Been training at a new LA Fitness here in PA. It has everything you could want, but it's downfall is it's kind of a "Bally's" atmosphere. Not bad, as long as you wear headphones to block out the uh, techno dance music, LOL. Great place otherwise, and most of the folks that train at 5am...

Thanks for the warm welcomes and the kind words all. In response to a couple of statements, yeah, I think I'm going to find the 15's a bit strange, but I figure after a week of SD, they will probably be kind of refreshing just to get things started again. The only odd thing is going to be not...

Hello all! While I've been reading these forums for quite some time, this is my first post! I'm going to be starting my first HST cycle in 3 weeks, after I finish my current split cycle, and just wanted to introduce myself. I tend to get a bit long winded, but wanted to give a little background...
