Before And After

[Lestat]

I am the same height and I used to run all the time. When I started lifting I was 180lbs around 7% BF. This past winter I bulked up to 255 at 13% BF right now I am cutting for the summer and am at 240 at 10%.

My suggestion is if you are serious about the weights quit running. If you are just trying to be fit and athletic by all means continue. Running is very catabolic and your cortisol levels rise when you run which makes it very difficult to get big. I am not saying it is impossible to get big while running but it makes things hard for sure. Stick with walking and light cycling. If you insist on running take up sprinting. Sprinters seem to be able to hold onto their size as compared to distance runners. You are very lean right now and I think once the summer is over you should focus on bulking if that is what you are serious about. Remember your goals. If getting big is what you want focus 100% on that and if it is something else focus on it instead.

Good luck and I hope I helped,

Thanks man, I appreciate the advice and I will be using it.

Kinda makes me think of your avatar... not much change.

But.. I did see your pic on the picture board and you are in great shape with a good solid build..and you must have excellent stamina.
