I have read and read on here about the different cycles and what not. I completely understand that diet has alot to do with how much you gain but in mass and strength.
Looking for a good starter cycle. Something for a little jump start.
I am 24 yrs old, about 195, 6'2", around 13% bf.
I have been lifting for about 8 years now. Had good results in college. Played baseball so we were on a strict routine. I tore just about everything in my shoulder and had to get reconstructive shoulder surgery(about 2 1/2 yrs ago). Lost about 15 pounds in muscle mass. After rehab and everything i started to lift light again to try to get back in the swing of things and then got out of it for about 6 months after i found out that i could never throw again. About 6-7 months ago i started hitting it hard and heavy again. I have put on about 4 pounds thats it. Talked to my doc about my diet and everything and he said idk how im not gaining more weight than less than a pound a month. Just looking for some input. It feels like everytime i leave the gym i cant move basically because i lifted so hard but still no results. Strength has gone up a little but no mass or big jumps in weight.
Like i said above, i have read and read and i think i am more confused now than anything.
Looking forward to hearing everything you all have to say.
New to this so if you could minimize the abbreviations that would be great!
