Been on this bulk for the last six months. Gained 40 lbs, but a lot of fat. Last two months, have been lazy and cheating way too much. Lots of fat came with that.

Want to get a abs for summer, then clean bulk from here on out. Never want to be this fat again.

My question: What is the best way to accomplish this, a two month cutter w/ cardio?

Or just start doing cardio while still bulking as below?

I was aiming for P: 300 g / C: 400 g / F: 130 g.

Is the fat from eggs an okay fat source for Meal 6?

Where is the best place to put my green veggies: pro/fat or pro/carb?

Any comments welcome.

I think the cutting sticky on top of the forumn is exactly what you're looking for. It would take forever, and a bitch load of cardio, to drop fat with that kind of a bulking diet. Just my opinion.

I agree but the real reason I posted was to ask: WHY ARE YOU HOLDING YOURSELF IN THE 2ND PIC??????????????????????????/

STILL WORKING ON THIS NO COMMENTS YET

IMO i would change out meal six with some Lean Ground Beef and some mozzarella cheese, instead eggs, and have some green veggies with that. Like some green beans.

Newkid... haha. does look kinda funny... I was just trying to pull up boxers to show legs without my shit showing.

Keep the comments coming

[novastepp]

i agree with the above, devise a cutting diet... it will suck but stay on track if you have trouble with that KEEP A LOG, bros like em, and it will help keep you on track.

and i have a question, what was your training routine like?

[Superballer]

[Superballer]

[speedtraining]

can you post up more pics.. I'm looking for where you gained 40 lbs at no flame intended but i'd like to see some more pics.

[Superballer]

speed training: http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...33#post2607933

has more pics. I agree, looking at the pics I don't look a lot bigger. More of a full body stature change though. My chest still lags and I don't have any real strong points. But I am A LOT bigger as a person.

I get comments all the time about how much bigger I look from people that haven't seen me for a couple months.

But remember a lot of the 40 lbs is fat on my stomach, so it isn't exactly flattering. But I'm glad any which way, I've always been an extreme ectomorph and was just surprised that I could get fat, almost reassuring, next time I know just to eat cleaner. I cheat WAY too much, especially the last four months.

Here's a pic from Dec 9 at 181 lbs....



The first twenty pounds went pretty good, but the last twenty has been way too much fat... WAY too much cheating. But it hasn't been all fat, because I've made gains in the gym, so I know I got some muscle under there.
