My 5month progress

[9za4ck4]

So at the beginning of the yr I started working out again and here are my previous stats
height 5'11
Weight 150
bf% 8-10
chest 38.5 inches
waist 30.5 inches
quads 22.5 inches
calves 15 inches
arms 14.75 inches

And thats how big I was back in jan. But now my stats are
Height same
weight 193
bf% 10-12
chest 47in
waist 31.5
quads 24in
calves 15.75
arms 17.75

So thats my progress looks good to me but at the same time im having a hard time staying motivated. Any tips on how to want to keep going? Oh I forgot to add no I didnt use any gear just been eating quite a bit and training hard and if it matters my age is 20. And any tips are appreciated thanks.

Talk to DSM he is got all the info on that

The key to staying motivated is to set goals. You're at 193 now so set a goal to hit 200 and give it a deadline. Make it acheivable but don't put it too far out.

[9za4ck4]

Well my goal was 205 by june but its like I hit a wall I cant get past 195 its been like this for 3 weeks now. So I think that is my main problem

Revamp your diet and mix up your training a little bit. If you've hit a plateau more than likely you have hit the point in your bulking diet where the amount of calories you are taking in has now become your maintenance amount.

[9za4ck4]

Thats what ive figured but I find it hard enough to find time to eat a lot now, the onlt thing I can thin of doing is switching my protein shake with more of a gainer shake. Do you think thats a good idea?

[stack_it]

The extra calories wouldn't hurt. I'm not the best with diets tho I'd talk to twist or gbrice and see what they think.

Even adding in just a few extra calories per meal would help

[9za4ck4]

Alright thanks

Great progress btw. Especially in 5 months.

you use anything like creatine??

whats your diet like? training?

[9za4ck4]

No im not using creatine the only supplement I personally like are the nitric oxide products and the best one ive found is made by Gaspari. Ive been using it for a month and a half now and it works great. As for training I workout 6days a week i'll do something like chest,back,legs,arms,delts and traps, and abs each muscle getting its own day for training. And as for diet I cant say I have a set one because I cant stand eating the same thing all the time but I do eat right around 3500 calories a day. but if you want I can give you an idea of what I eat from day to day.

if this is correct it is remarkable progess and should be words of encouragement to all the younger members here that think gear is the answer..

[9za4ck4]

I would like to put up pics but my laptop crashed, im using my phone right now to be on here. When I get a chance il post some pics

[9za4ck4]

Oh and a quick question can someone give some good rear delt and lower chest exercises thanks

[doxmaster]

For rear delts reverse flys with dumbels or reverse with cables, for lower chest decline bench or cable crossovers.

How do you measure your chest?

[9za4ck4]

I measure it by going under my arms and around, kinda like a taylor would. Why do you ask?

[Bigd89]

At nip level or just above? Do you flare your lats? Just curious.

[9za4ck4]

I do just above nipple, and I do flex lats and back when measuring.

honestly, i agree with setting goals. both short term and long term. short term goals are important, you can can set a goals as far out as you want, but you need to have something attainable in the semi near future. this has always helped me. once you start to see the gains coming and the goals being accomplished, it sets you off like a chain reaction.

finding yourself a good training partner is also very beneficial, someone you can enjoy your training with, and who you can feed off one another. friendly competition is always helpful too
