    New to body building! What is best for me?

    Hey all! I 'm 28 5'9"ish 165lbs. I am looking for some type of plan to build up my body and get cut at the same time if that is possible? I have been lifting for over 12 years and eat well! I take protein before my workout and after also finish the day with casien protein before bed. I ca take any type of criticism so if that is all wrong please tell me! I wanna get over 170lb! what is best for me? thank you for taking time to help!

    Welcome to the board mate!

    Let's clear up a few things about diet. Eating well and eating appropriately for proper growth as it relates to body building are two totally different things!
    First, you need to know your "break even" calories. You can do that by calculating your TDEE. Go here to figure it out:

    So if you want to grow and get big, I'd suggest 1000 cals/day above your tdee. But you'll need to do it as cleanly as possible so as to minimize as much fat buildup as possible. Go to our nutrition section and post your diet here
    http://forums.steroid.com/forumdispl...RESOURCE-FORUM
    and include macros per meal and macros per day. don't know how to calculate that? go here to figure it out:
    http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...nutrient-Chart
    also include your tdee so we can bench mark against it

    Once you do that, we have several very knowledgable members that will help you fine tune your diet as it relates to your goals.

    If you've been lifting for 12 years and are only 165 lbs, your biggest challange right now is your diet.

    Good luck mate and glad you decided to join up!
