[mattman]

First off how long have you been training?

[mancunny]

I've been training for about 2 years with 6-7months off due to broken bones. I came back to the gym November 2005 weighin in at 180, during the winter put on 70lbs naturally.

[BeerBaron]

250... i dunno.. I'm 6'2" 205 in my avatar and i don't think you look much bigger than me, granted I have lower bf, but might just be the pics. What are your measurements?

[Timm1704]

yeah i was thinking the same. he must have heavy bones lol

[mancunny]

added another pic ontop, maybe that will show me weight a little better

[IBdmfkr]

Here you are, a measurement log that I have used that works well to track progress.

[mancunny]

OK so does anyone have anything positive to say? heh

[BeerBaron]

you're a fairly solid lookin dude, personally i like my bf a little lower but i understand if you are bulking. Chest needs some work along with arms. Traps could use some work. Lats and legs dont look bad.

[IBdmfkr]

You've got a good base to work with for sure, if I were to critique you I'd start with saying that at 22 yrs old and 2+ yrs of training you need to gain more knowledge in the diet/training department.
From the pics I can see your shoulders have descent size but your back is deff your worst part (do more Deadlifts, lat pulls, rows).
I'd say your chest is probably your favorite part to work as shoulders/chest are most developed and legs/back are more underdeveloped compared to the rest of you. Your core is deff a weak part which will affect you when you start putting up heavier weight, so concentrate on Squats/Deads as your main excercises.
I would've suggested waiting on a cycle because your diet is obviously off, but since you are already in the cycle take advantage of these forums and learn as much as you can.
I'd start by posting your current diet/goals in the diet forum and let us help you there.
Goodluck, you look great bro! Keep workin at it.

Interesting replies, thanks for the tips!

IBdmfkr: my workout is concentrated mostly on deadlifting and squatting, so it is dissapointing that you say that my weak links happen to be my back and legs. I hardly do any isolation lifts, and everything is geared towards core strengh. Anyways, you're advice is appreciated and I will just have to work harder.

My diet goals are to be at about 10% BF..I dont know how many cals i eat per day, but a rough estimate is 3000-4000.

4000+ on the cals and good luck to you!

[IBdmfkr]

3000-4000 is a huge difference.. I suggest you try and figure out where it is because without knowing this you won't know what needs to be adjusted.

Many ppl squat, deadlift.. but many also do not do proper form and/or do a full range of motion so the muscle is only partially worked.

Muscle development also takes time in the gym, which you are lacking. So just keep at it and with time you should be able to notice huge differences.

[chest6]

more than 4k bro..Gotta love to eat. Good size but try goin natty a lil longer. Dont look 250..but neither do i

wheels coming in a couple of days

[mancunny]

bump..comment please

[IBdmfkr]

What is there to comment about?

You're holding way too much BF but have good size. Try leaning down a bit so you can see the muscles you have. Looks as if you eat out too much, very bloated.

[copenhagen]

agreed that your bloated but you put on some good size bro, good luck to you

[mancunny]

I have Nolva but I have not been using it, or any anti-e. Do you recommend I do to cut down on bloat?

[rockhardman]

U Shoul Train Natural For At Least 5 Years To Get Da Foundation Build Maybe U Would Never Touch As If U=were Gaining Weight Already

[mancunny]

i think foundation is what i already HAVE, definition is what i need to work on

[mancunny]

Please recommend something I can take for bloat. I have lots of nolva, clomid, and some letro.

[IBdmfkr]

Mainly it will depend on diet bro.. I'd post your diet in the Diet forum for critiquing asap so we can get it fixed now rather than later..

Nolva is ok, but I'd suggest arimidex or letro for reduction in bloat. Personally favor aromasin but it's expensive and hard to find for some.

[NEW_IN_THE_GAME]

i am your size i am 240 at 6'5 with like 8-9% bf. i am more ripped. and i am taller at 250 i think you should be bigger. then again all are different.

I would eat like 6-000 cals on a bulk

my bulk soon will be 350-400g protein, 700-900g carbs, 150g fat(mostly good)

for 4-5 months.

i am 19 been training for 5 years . seriously for over 3.

read up, all you can do is learn

[NEW_IN_THE_GAME]

you should work all muscles. your core will strengthen.

I mean i work like this for now till i switch up

monday: chest, biceps
tuesday: quads, hams
wed: day off
thurs: shoulders, calves, forearms
fri: back, triceps

I do this for 8-12 weeks, then switch it up.

3-4 sets for each exercise, 3 exercises per group, 6-12 reps per set. adding weight with each set.

[IBdmfkr]

240lbs @ 6'5 w/ 8-9% bf.. any pics bro? That's pretty impressive considering you're only 19.

I agree.

[johnnybigguns4499]

Remember diet is the key........

[mancunny]

my diet is to make sure I eat every 3-4 hours, and include 50grams of protein in that meal. Nothing really strict, if there is no lean food, i'll go to mcdonalds. i know i didnt take this as seriously as i should of..

[IBdmfkr]

well, sounds like it's time to take it seriously

Post up the diet in the Diet Forum and we'll give you some help.
