Newbie needs advice

**BamBam1974** · 07-25-2007, 07:42 PM

I am 33 years old, 6'2 and 183lbs. I am somewhere around 7% body fat, I work out daily and would say I am pretty good shape. I (like an idot) took an 8 week cycle of sust300, thats all I took. Then I found this site and started reading. I haven't done anything in about 5 weeks now and am looking to find the best cycle to bulk more. I only gained about 10lbs with the sust, but I wasn't taking it correctly from what I have read. Any advice would be appreciated.

Bad news is you shouldn't do a cylcle with your stats, you really need to work on getting your diet and training perfect first

well at 183, 6'3'' you are really thin
I look thin at 6'3'' 254
You arn't eating enough or often enough

Training everyday doesn't say much
What exactly are you doing

I work my chest, back, and abs on mon wed and fri.
on tues, thursday and sat I work my arms and legs

I have tried several protein and creatine powders with no results. I have been lifting since I was 16, but never gain what I want. Just guessing I would say I take in about 1500 calories a day.

man, 1500 calories is way, way off. I take between 4500 and 5200 every day. I use a program called FitDay and enter everything I eat in there. No way you will grow like that. Also your routine needs some work, check out the diet forum and then look for a better routine.

I'm sure you eat more than that but what you laid out isn't really a diet. The first step is getting your diet right if you want to see results. Steroids +bad diet=crappy gains. Looks like you are in the gym too much for what you want to acheive. Post what exercises you do on those days.

oh, and nice stunt, what kind of bike?

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. How in the hell do you take in that many calories in a day though?

Through relentless eating. I set my alarm and eat every 2 hours from the time I get up, all day. Read up on bulking diets in the diet forum. I'm not talking eating pizza and fries either, good whole foods.
And nice bike, I've got a couple R1's and an FJ1200 drag bike.

My gym is right here at home. I do arms= barbell curls preacher curls, tricep pulldowns, dumbbell curls, tricep raises, forearm curls, reverse forearm curls

chest= benching, close grip benching, incline benching, butterflies
abs= sit-ups, crunches, leg raises
back= bent rows, sit down rows with machine, lat raises
legs= leg curls, calf raises, leg press

Nice no foot wheelie brother! Good to see some more stunters on the site.
Food is your friend, eat twice what ya do now. AT LEAST and see what happens. I am 6"7' and had the same troubles till i started to diet properlly.
Also try only working each body part once a week. see how ya go with that.

Thanks man, always good to see other stunters!
I definately need to work on the diet, seems I don't eat as much as I thought. I have a very high metabolism as well, very discouraging when it comes to gaining weight.

**hugoboss** · 07-25-2007, 08:19 PM

My metabolism is the same, i was 77kgs when i started training and 6"7' you can imagine how skinny i was. im up 102kgs now and eat like a pig just to maintain. I find 4000 cals is needed for me to maintain and 4500 ta 5000 needed comin into summer to get up around 110 kgs.
Sometimes it feels like all i do is eat and sleep but its all worth it come summer.
