Looks like you have a hickey on your nipple. You gotta rotate the shoulder blades down a bit, it'll look better and bigger. But yeah man, you're looking great. Keep eating.

Good job! Obviously given up some definition, but looks like good gains in the arms, chest, and upper back. Keep doin' whatever you've been doin'.

ah yes, the sign of a true sportsman: hickey evidence in your side chest pose!

good show mate

[TwiloMike]

Good to see more mass on you. Well done!

I don't mean to offend, man, but I think you're really overestimating your numbers. I'd hate for you to get over-confident and then be disappointed with how you look if/when you get down to ~220. Your pics from 300+ lbs look WELL over 27%. I don't think he was questioning whether you can gain weight. And besides, until you've gained weight in a controlled manner I don't think your input really means much to him (sorry if I sound like a dick).

The pics you've seen were from nearly 2.5 years after my last snap on the gridiron and I was 10 pounds heavier then I ever was in football.

Going from practicing 3 hours a session 3 times a day from June to the end of August and then lifting/conditioning from December to march with a break for 2 months and then back to lifting/condition till football camp to laying on the couch 2/3 rds of the day will really take a toll on your body composition. I easily lost 5% of my muscle and gained it all back and then some in fat over that 2.5 year period. I did lift during that period, but my diet was horrible and other then lifting I did zero.

From the current pic's I have now and from the pumps I get in the gym in my arms and shoulders considering how fat I am now, I really don't think I'll be disappointed at 215.

Sorry to hijack your thread dan.

I said gaining 30 pounds like its a walk in the park because for me it would only be a matter of time. I have a fairly slow metabolism so eating the necessary calories would be as easy as breathing for me. I can also hit the weights heavy and hard, it would be a matter of just sticking to it. I know that it would take probably 2-3 years, but 30 pounds of would blow you or me up like a house big time. Jacked would be the proper term.

Looking good at 190 and 11%, how did you come up with that 11%?

Doesn't matter how slow your metabolism is. A slow metabolism won't make those pounds any more likely to be in the form of muscle.

I'd wager the opposite, actually.

My point with the slower metabolism being that I won't need to eat 10 times a day and wake up during the night and eat in order to support the mass gains that some people do. There are people who need to force feed them selves in excess in 5,000 calories every day to maintain their LBM while I could probably do the same on 4,000 or maybe even less.

Wasn't suggesting that because my metabolism is slower the gains would be more muscle. Your right, they would be more fat then anything if I ate in too much of an excess. I wouldn't doubt I could bulk on less then 4,000 calories if I wanted to keep it clean.

Wow, nice cut man, you look great.

When did this become an interior decorating forum?

Edit: On second thought, I'm not going to be a dick. Best of luck with your goals.

Hey guys hope all is swell. My bulk progress is going swell. Here are some progress pictures.

Nice bud! You have put on some serious muscle. How are your lifts?

[Danpiel]

Nice bud! You have put on some serious muscle. How are your lifts?

Bench 225 about 4 to 6 times.
Squat 270lb 4 times.
Dead lifts 320lb 6 times.

Overall I am not that happy with my lifts.

[Hockey66]

WOW, great progress dude.

To be honest I was expecting another update where you gained 2-3 lbs and were still skinny at like 6% bodyfat.

Way to prove me wrong.

[Darcy Tucker]

Once you get cut again you're gonna be very happy with the sacrifice you put in to gain that lbm.

[BCorn]

this thread has a lot of pages......I skimmed most of them but not every single post so forgive me if you already answered these questions:
1. how long was your bulk?
2. in an older post you said you were eating about 2,500 calories....how many did you eat for the bulk?
3. did you bulk with mainly clean foods or more of a dirty bulk?
4. did you keep your workouts basiclly the same?
5. how much weight did you gain? i think you said your current weight was 207 with about 15% b.f. but I'm not sure what you weighed before the bulk.

thanks.

Why do you want to know all this info?

[BCorn]

i am trying to learn more about bulking.....it's really no big deal to me....if you don't want to answer then don't....there are plenty of others on the board bulking that don't mind helping.

[frank]

wow great muscle gains, only negative things i can say are to get a haircut and some longer underwear. but thats just me, great work!

[Mad Max]

Good progress. For some reason when I look at your most recent pics I think of Aslan from the Narnia Chronicles.
