Hey bro - just my $.02 - you are a big friggn kid. Making an attempt to add 30-35 more lbs could be fatal. Fatal in the sense that it's going to take you a long time to get your bodyfat down and you will not do it without the loss of muscle.

I'll never recommend a bulking regimine until I see at LEAST 12% (I'd really like to see 10%).

But calling it out at 20%, is a shotty idea. Bag it, clean up your diet, hit some cardio and revist this bulking thing when you get your bodyfat down.

Take it for what it's worth.

gbrice can I use canned tuna for my omega 3's? If so how many times a day would you recommend I eat it?

**bigslick7878** · 11-16-2010, 02:13 PM

No way you are under 20% BF right now.

**tsr183** · 11-16-2010, 02:19 PM

LB-I posted this under the IGF/HGH spot but Im about to start HGH, You still think it's a bad idea to continue with the clean bulk?

Pearly barley, sweet/white potato, quinoa, lentils, buckweat, oats and fruit are carb sources I use.

Recently, I've been using fruit's as carb sources and I like the outcome, but still use the above.

After seeing your pics, I agree 100%. Dude you already have some size on you, and I can tell you'd look REALLY good if you were cut up... you can start a slow progressive cut, maintain your LBM and you'll look insane by the summer.

I'd also agree with around 19-20% bodyfat. Too high to bulk man, I PROMISE you'll be so much happier lean, AND you'll then be able to focus on adding lean mass vs. bulking where you have to get a good bit of fat on you. You'll look good all year round!

Tuna isn't a great source either unfortunately. Salmon is - how about canned salmon at least? I say at least because the majority of EFA's are in the skin, and I don't think they include the skin in canned salmon. But it's better then nothing, and better then tuna.

I wouldn't eat tuna or salmon more then 2x a day, just because of the whole mercury thing. There's too much debate about whether there's a true danger or not, but until it's proven one way or the other, I like to err on the side of caution and take the safe route.

gbrice I have to agree with what you guys are saying. But like the bulking diet, I would have know Idea how to do a proper cut...

lbsomeiron beat me to the "where are your oats?" punch.

dollar stores have cheap sardines... 20-30g protein in each tin. cheap little snacks to keep up your intake throughout the day, and since they're low on the food chain, the Hg% should be low.

The term 'clean bulk' is a complete misnomer.
In order to bulk, you have to consume excess calories. I dont care if these excess cals come from celery or twinkles. It takes excess calories and excess calories at your current situation is a terrible idea.

Was that more clear?
