Competition for the big boys... or not!!

Dude......the best competition is the competition with yourself.......and you seem to progressing along nicely.......but...Jeez bro......how tall are you......(you look very tall in the pics).....and since you have good size on your frame, you've gotta weigh quite a bit. (Are the stats in your profile on elite correct?). Its also clear that you care about symmetry, as from the pics you proportions are definitley in line. Now the specifics:

-Shoulders look great.....fantastic seperation between side delt and bi/tri......(nice striations in the delts too) (if the goal is to bulk, may need to put some more size there though....otherwise...looking good)
-Chest is stacked, fantastic crevice of seperation going down in between the pecs. (May want to bring up the upper pectoral a bit......)
-Arms, again good size, and you have much more seperation between bi and tri's than I do...so good work......

-Legs........Cant tell much from the pics....but they look to be pretty much inline
-Traps....not sure if its the pose or what, but they look jacked man.....(becareful that they don't overpower your delts.....unless you after that look)

Overall you look great bro......keep it up........the only suggestion I can give you (and this is because you have a similar frame as me).......is to try to put some size on....(eat eat eat).......and perhaps focus on sculpting certain areas a bit more....say for example.....the peak around your bicep.....

What are your goals.......to bulk up.....or cut down.......?........anyway......keep me posted......and continue the excellent work.!!!!
 
Thanks guys, I'm trying to add more lean muscle, maybe a 10 lbs. Unfortunately I've experienced some bad bulking cycles in the past (adding too much fat) but I'll try to avoid that now.
 
Ah, you must have been subscribing to the Lee Priest school of thought for bulking. It doesnt' necessarily have to include a lot of fat, but it easily can. Have you checked out the diet forum lately? I think that there was a thread on there recently (you may have actually posted in it) I can't remember. BobdybyFinaplex seems to have a pretty good handle on building lean muscle mass with not adding a ton of fat. See if you can find it. If not, let me know and I'll use my plat powers to track it down for you.
 
Ahh, OK thanks I'll definitely check that out. I've just started a new bulking cycle and I'm watching the carbs/fat but I still need to fine tune it, so any advice will be beneficial bro.
 
I would say, find out what your basal metabolic rate is (for you based on the info you provided it's about 1850). That means your body burns that many calories per day if you do nothing. If it was me, I would try to take in about 3500 calories a day as a starting point with a minimum of 300g of protein a day. I wouldn't necessarily avoid fat or carbs as your body uses it to build muscle as well. It helps to keep your metabolism on track too. Spread your 3500 calories a day out over 6-8 meals throughout the day. Thats going to accomplish a few different things. It's gonna keep you from going catabolic, it's going to keep your metabolism going, the thermogenic effect of your body digesting food every few hours is going to burn calories as well. One or two big meals a day is about the worst thing you can do. You may need to add to your calorie count if you find that you're not gaining. I would't guess you would have to lower it based on your info. If you bump it up, then bump up your protein too. Also, if you are doing cardio, I would cut that out until you're done bulking. I would make sure that your post workout meal contains both protein and carbs. I really like a drink called "Size Up 1000" made by Worldwide as a post workout drink. If you don't feel like springing for a case, just make sure you are getting some good carbs and protein post workout. Don't be afraid to go high GI especially within about 45 minutes after you work out. It's gonna go to glycogen replenishment anyway, if you handled business in the gym.

Off the top of my head, those are the high points. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
 
Okeedokee, with what you've recommended plus the info in that clean bulking thread, it looks like I just ran out of excuses and I can't stall any more!! ;)

Nothing to it but to do it. You're in the right place for support/advice and critiques.
 
YO TRASH..... You defitnetly look bigger than 180 Bro and I mean that in a good way !!! You have size/mass potential. You stick with it and you can put on some good lean size Bro. You keep working it and be patient and consistent with your training you will be amazed with your progress in the not so far future. It takes a lil longer for us old fucks ( LOL :) ) but you will get there man.

Your traps pop up dude !!!

FUCK........Everybody has traps but me :(

Stay with the EF boards Bro......many knowledgeable brothers here.

Pump on .....
 
Thanks again guys. My motivation has been renewed.. fervourously!! (or something like that) LOL. BTW, I'm going to stop hitting traps - they are the only muscle that's growing;)
 
Looking good man.......keep it up, remember squats, squats, and more squats.....if you can ensure that your wheels keep up with the progress your making in your upper body man, your gonna be jacked!
 
Lookin' good TP. Keep me posted when you're in Toronto.....come train at Gold's Gym. I'll hammer your legs real good bro! HA!HA!
 
Hey bro you do look 6'0 180" cause I had these two roomates who were 6'3" 155 and 6'4" 170, you are a lot bigger than both of them.

I swear I think they both had tapeworm, eating ice cream every night and pigging out on junk food, completely unable to gain weight. You are lucky to at least be a tall guy who can gain weight on a bulking cycle! Are you all natural?

Where is the clean bulking thread?
 
Looks good brother! You definately look to have put on some upper body mass. Arms especially. Stay on that routine and diet for a while and well see how those pics turn out within the next few months! Keep it up!!
