the FNG for a bit

sup all, spent the last couple days readin' through the site - realized there's a lot of good info and experienced people in the same place which can be fairly rare.

One of my lifting buddies just started a cycle a few weeks ago and seein him start throwin' on more weight faster than me got me thinking about it. Before i started readin here i didn't have much more than headline knowledge on the subject. Still undecided on the anabolics but i am going to be looking for some type of stack, maybe with more info someone could throw a suggestion or two in.

stats:
24 y/o, 6'0", 195lbs, 6.4% BF
sports all seasons through HS, particularly running (football, soccer, track, baseball and a wrestling coach that thought he was a cross country coach, etc) I was only cut because my BF % was so low that while i was lifting it made me look bigger than i was lol. My problem's always been calorie intake, i just don't like eating all day even though I've been fairly active both in the gym and with sports my whole life. Instead of hardcore supplementing I just finally admitted it was a simple but tedious error on my part i needed to fix. Now I'm starting to look at supplementing though.

anyways, I started a serious program 6 weeks ago, buckled down on the food, tracked weights and kept intensity up. I've just been supplementing with a couple whey shakes during the day, casein at night and a multivitamin. (nitro-tech, gold standard and mega-mens) Made a fairly decent jump from 170 to knocking on 200 lbs while maintaining ~7% BF. size gains have slowed even though weight gains are still rising - just not as fast as my buddy who's seriously supplementing.

Looks like this is the place to get solid info on stacks and supplements and share anything i might know as well....mostly relating to simple hard work and nutrition at this point lol. anyways, there's my mini-bio, see you around the forum!

are you eating the same diet you ate at 170? or have you adjusted to accomidate your new found size? oh welcome

thanks man, and yea, the diet and the amount of time and effort i put in at the gym are really the only things that I've changed so far.

I used to only eat when i got hungry, and even then i didn't particularly mind the feeling so it'd be whatever i felt like whenever i felt like it. I'm probably safe in saying I've close to tripled my calorie and protein intake on a daily basis from where i was. I'm almost finished with both my 2nd 4lb tub of whey and 2lb tub of casein in the same 6 weeks.

I was worried for a bit about overdoing it with the shakes and just wasting money:

2 scoops whey with breakfast
1 pre workout
2 post workout
and 2 scoops casein an hour or so before bed

but it seems like as long as i eat something with the shakes they don't end up useless and get sh!t out later. also i'm not gaining body fat even though I'm eating constantly now and carbing out the ass.

these last lbs up to 200 are being a real b!tch though, I'm thinking I'm close to as far as just food and protein will take me - which is where the search for an appropriate supp comes in.
