Bulking questions

[Cone]

Hi all got some questions about bulking, Ill list my stats before I start
18yo
6ft 5"
225lbs
Bf don't know can upload a pic if anyone could estimate for me. I would estimate about 16%

I've been training for 3 years but seriously for about 1 and 1/2 years. I started at 15 6ft 4" weighing in at 190lbs I've messed about with pH stupidly when I was younger but have realised my mistakes and understand they aren't for people my age and so underprepared.

I find it really easy to put weight on because I LOVE food

Train 5 days a week splits of
Mon - chest/tris
Wednesday - back/bies
Friday - legs
Saturday - shoulders
Sunday- back/bies again because I feel like my back is lagging can change depending on where I feel lagging.


Meausrements;
45" chest
16" tensed arm
32"waist
29" thigh

My daily diet;
7:00 - 4egg omlet 150g oats
9:00 - tin of tuna and 2 medium bananas
12:00 - 400g minced chicken 550g white rice
2:30 - whey protien about 50g protien
6:00 - family tea (we are quite healthy family and meals such as - tuna pasta bake, chicken fajita, ect)
9:30 - casein protien

My question is how long can a bulk last, I've been on bulk now for about 2 month, and would like to carry it out until next summer which would be 8 month all together. Would that be too long? I have one cheat meal every 2 week with my girl field is that too much?

Many thanks look forward to hearing from you all.

I've tried to upload a picture hopefully it worked.

Your bulk can last as long as want/as long as you are happy. With every bulk comes bodyfat so I guess it's up to you how much you are happy gaining. You can go with a super lean bulk if you don't mind what seems slow progress, eat 200-300 cals above maintenance. Don't forget your maintenance changes as you gain LBM so you need to constantly recalculate.

Cheat meals? Whatever you are comfortable with in terms of results.

What are the macro's of your current diet?

Do you do any cardio?

What style of lifting do you do?

I'm not really botherd about higher bf over winter, as I'm young doesn't take long to cut weight off, and I for cardio I never do any at the gym on bulk but I wake up on a morning do 20min jog before eating every day, and my I've never worked it out but it's about 250-300 protien 400-500carbs and 100-200fat only cardo I do apart from that is 1hpur of 5a side football leauge on a Sunday.
A example of my gym session would be

40kg warm up 2 sets flat bench press 15-20reps
60kg set 15reps
80kg set 10-12 reps
90kg 8-12repa
110kg sets my max reps like 1-5reps
90kg set
80kg set
60kg set

Incline same weights slightly lower

Flat flies
30-40lbs each hand trying for strict form
5aets

Lower cable crossovers 25lbs each hand 3 set
Upper cable crossover 50lbs each hand 3 sets

Close grip bench
20kg warm up 20reps
40kg 15-20reps 2 sets
60kg 8-12 reps 2 sets
45kg 8-15reps 2 sets

Tricep pull downs
25kg warmup
30kg 15-20repa
35kg 10-15reps
40kg 8-12 reps 2sets
Drop set back down failure every time.

That's a example of chest day all other days are same type of workout.

Also could I have estimate of bf from that picture?

Is that 23 working sets for chest?

That's a big potential difference in fats. Personally I'd be inclined to cap that at 100g and make up for it in carbs but if it's working for you then go with it. I am much much older than you though

Bodyfat, you may be about right at about 16%, I'd want to see your back and legs for a more definitive guess. FYI, that's about the max I like to get to on a bulk. Trust me, you'll be less happy at >20% than you think you will be.

Yeah it's 24seta of chest should I drop some of them sets off? Here are a picture of my back and legs, I feel they both lag a bit I have strong legs but no detention I can squat 280lbs 2 reps full depth.
