    It is tough having meals at home with the family. With my wife continuing to diet, and my bulking, I'm having to eat double what she does somehow. All while having things like salmon, lean chicken, quinoa, vegetables, etc for dinner.

    It takes a reading of the electrical resistance your body imposes, combines it with your height, weight, and gender, and uses a statistical regression to estimate the number. Supposedly it's better for tracking increases/decreases in BF versus a hard and fast exact number. That's what I'm hoping for at least. 17% is probably a little high for me, but I'm not too much lower, maybe 12-13% based on pictures I've seen of other people of my build in that range.

    If anyone is interested, here's my nutrition/weight bulking spreadsheet. Tracking calorie and protein needs/consumption and weight. The Bodyfat% I'm tracking is discouraging, but it is from one of those bathroom scales and I'm sure is wildly inaccurate for someone who is lifting weights. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtW6-ZtWfdg4dGIyamFaOGdXNkNPUW5CNmVLMVJVQUE&usp=sharing

    6'-0 I've discovered that the biggest thing that has been holding me back until now is that I hadn't been eating nearly enough. Even if I was getting a fair amount of protein, I'd count my calories and sometimes end up with only 1500-2000 for the day. Since starting to bulk I've made at least one jump up to heavier weights in all of my lifts, in only 10 days time. I computed my Base Metabolic Rate using the Katch-Mcardle method to be around 1700-1750 calories per day, multiplied by 1.5 for a moderate activity level, and again by 1.1 to add weight. I ended up computing that I need about 2800 cals/day. My advice to him is eat a lot and hit the gym a lot. Building lean mass is a very slooooooooooow process.

    10 days into bulking, up about a pound to new all time high weight of 168.4... progress. Also today marks 3 months of working out for me, I have a reminder set to take a progress pic. (hint: still skinny)

    I went pretty light to try to figure it out. I have no problem sticking my chest and butt out for a regular deadlift, but SL deadlifts force you to bend over so much that there's nowhere for your chest and butt to go.

    I have yet to figure out the trick to doing straight-leg deadlifts properly. My back seems to round out unless I keep the bar further away from me, but then that makes the balance of the move feel off. Can anyone help?

    I've spent some time recently on the bodybuilding.com forums where such thing is a norm. Holy poop, I can feel the stupid and testosterone rubbing off on me.

    I've heard 'mixes well in water' from products I've used before, but it never seems to work that way for me. I must have hard water or something.

    I always end up coming off creatine after a few weeks, because the chalkiness always ends up making me gag. And the pills/tabs are too expensive to take in the right dosage.

    hit my calories today, but 'only' 174g of protein. I don't think I can eat anything else. Balls.
  12. Jase
    24k, do you even lift, brah?
  13. Jase
    Yeah, maybe. I'm starting to attempt a bulking cycle today, let's see how it goes. Aiming for 2900 calories and 190 grams of protein per day at my current weight of 167 pounds. Goal weight is 185. After I finish lunch today, I'll be up to 1050 calories, 50g of protein so far. Not gonna make it, need protein bars.

    ^this motivates me every leg day, there are several girls at my gym that can squat 200+ My squats have come up but the legs are still very chicken-y. and damn.
  15. Jase
    makes me start to wonder if men pay attention to other men's physiques more than women do. weird.

    #thatawkwardmoment this weekend when our male friends tell my wife that I'm looking ripped. female friends, conspicuously silent.
  17. Jase
    That's where the bidets are

    Yeah, thinking of adding my shoulder work to my chest&back day, but that day is tough enough as it is with chest presses, flies, deadlifts, etc. not sure what to do. I don't want a day just for shoulders IDK
  19. Jase
    I'm thinking of cutting out arm and shoulder day for a while. I've had huge gains in my arms and they're starting to look a little ridiculous compared to the rest of my body, where my gains have been more modest. Anyone else ever had this problem?
  20. Jase
    My gym was hot as balls today. Very unpleasant. Felt like I couldn't breathe through the hard reps.
  21. Jase
    I've found that the bigger and stronger my thighs get, the smaller my willy looks. How do I fix this? halp!
  22. Jase
    I keep getting bigger, but not gaining any weight something has to give

    Adam Schein going nowhere as a journalist, suckles at teat of cam's swag.
  24. Jase
    lower body workouts have been shown to boost testosterone more than their upper body counterparts. Thereby increasing your gains while strengthening stability. That said, I hate it, too. 2 leg workouts in, legs still very chickeny

    I know Johnny Rockets took the old Jack3d... and he didn't die... did he? True story. I went in a GNC looking for Jack3d after JR's ringing endorsement of it. The sales guy convinced me to go with a different brand (one of GNC's shadow brands probably.) Anyway that's the stuff that didn't last. And it gave me heart palpitations for a while. No more GNC for me for a multitude of reasons.
