Hey guys, been doing a lot of research about this subject of this website over the years, and decided to register to the forums.

About me: I live in the Midwest and have been working out/playing sports about 10 years or more (27 here). Played mainly baseball and soccer up until college when I got into lifting. After earning my chemistry degree and landing a good job, I mainly just lift and play on a local rugby team. Decided to get on this site because I think I've pretty much maxed out what genetics can give me (been wavering around 10% bodyfat and 190lbs for a few years now) and want to learn more about what it will take to get the body of my dreams.

Here's a couple images of me, just 'cuz!

Welcome to the forum. I think you still have a lot of room to grow before considering running any cycles. Hit the nutrition section and post up your diet. You will be very surprised the gains you can still make

Hey man thanks for the advice. Lemme give you guys the (general) diet that I've been working with for a few years now:

Breakfast
~9 egg white omelette (sometimes I add some yolks just cuz) w/ random veggies
~3 oz lean meat (mostly turkey bacon/sausage)
1 cup steel cut oats (sometimes w/ honey sometimes not)
Some sort of fruit

Snack 1
~8oz chicken breast (grilled/sriracha/marinated/some sort of flavor)
~1-2c white/brown rice or quinoa
Some sort of green veggie (mostly broccoli)

Lunch
~8oz lean meat (mostly chicken but sometimes I do turkey/fish/bison burger/lean ground beef)
Sweet potato/more quinoa/whole wheat toast/something besides rice
More green veggies (mostly asparagus/green beans/spinach)

Post-Workout
1 scoop whey protein in whole milk (using "Beast Whey" right now, but I tend to flip-flop)
1 banana

Afternoon Snack
Whole-wheat bagel or toast with almond/peanut butter

Dinner
8-10oz lean red meat (usually sirloin, burger, roast, or bison. Occasionally I switch it up and have fish or pork instead)
Sweet potato (pretty religious about the dinner sweet potato)
green veggie (see above)
Some sort of nut (usually sliced almonds on whatever veggie I'm eating)

Evening Snack
Either cooked egg whites, protein shake (see above), protein bar, and/or almond butter

Been with this diet pretty much since I graduated college (3 years) minus obvious cheat days/meals/holidays/vacations.

EDIT: I don't use many supplements. Sometimes I get the itch to try something new and otc, but it usually ends up in disaster. Tried creatine when I first started and hated it. Most pre-workouts make me seem to lose weight, and most high-calorie "bulking" shakes pack on more fat than muscle. The latest thing I tried (a 2-part system called "Commander" and "Thyro-drive" made my tits swell up twice their size so I have no idea what caused that. So, haven't had a good run with generic health food store stuff.
