It is hard to tell from photos - but I figure 12-14 to be safe then

Last August, I went from 178-200 in less than 2months.. i posted these pictures before... this is oct 2002...
What a porker I was

I've put on roughly 15 lbs of LBM in 8 months... I'm pretty happy....

My macronutrient plan is a little different....
I eat a LOT of meat... I mean a lot... I've had 5 chicken breasts so far today... lol...

Anyways.. heres what i try to do...
I take ALA 3 times a day, with my 3 biggest meals

I try to keep my first 4 meals between 20-40g carbs with the exception of my first meal which I allow myself to have upwards of 50g... but usually closer to 40g

My first meal usually consists of 30-50g carbs
Usually roughly 300g fat free/low carb yogurt with 1/4 cub of raw oats
close to 40g carbs, and about 15g protein

workout

Post workout drink (up to 30 g carbs)

2 hours later

Cottage cheese and a can of tuna and one slice of brown bread
Roughly 25g carbs

2 hours later
2-3 chicken breasts and 1 half baked potatoe and a couple cups of green beans

5km light jog
post jog
a cup of yogurt and 1/8 cup of oats

2 hours later 1 steak or more chicken with green beans, maybe some corn...



My diet really varies

Basically the whole point of the plan im on is to use carbs strictly for fuel... so mainly pre workout and a little post workout... I can explain it much better in my head than i can type it out. I am then eating a LOT of protein easily 200g+ a day. I am not getting too much fat but if i do eat fat I try to have very minimal carbs with it. Any carbs i eat after about 3-4 in the afternoon i try to get ONLY from fiborous sources such as beans or veggies....

Thats my basic breakdown..
If you want a better break down msn me...

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow to give you guys a better reading of what I'm weighing... I havn't weighed myself for a week since i took some time off... so i could be a bit lighter

You're looking solid. I'd say I'm near an exact copy of you in the first pic @ 187, with probably a bit less fat. Its hard to tell though.

You've made some great gains, especially since October 2002.

man.. every time i look at the oct 2002 picture I feel like barfing... I think that may have been the worst bulk in the history of bulks.. lol..

Do you have any pics? I'd like to see my carbon copy I'm trying to figure out what body type I am... I think I'm somewhere in between a mostly mesomorph and a little endo.... How big are your wrists zander?

I'll try and get around to taking some. They'll have to be done into my bathroom mirror, but it'll do.

We're definately a similar body type. I've always thought meso-endo too. I'll go and get a tape measure...

Does your camera have a timer? thats what i did... flipped over a tall laundry basket and put the camera timer on and let her rip... took a good 4-5 pictures to get a decent picture... lol

 

[Zander1983]

Not sure about the timer. I'll have a look and see.

My wrists are about 7.5 inches. I used a piece of string and measured it against a ruler. Not perfect, but then wrist measurements aren't a perfect indication of anything either...

 

[DrBones]

I think my wrists are about 7.5" too...
how tall are you and what do you weigh?
