excellent post brother!!

I've to start and eat cleaner from now on!! No more 'eat everything you see crap'. I had my body fat measured using calipers the other day and I nearly feinted when the guy told me I had 20% body fat. At the moment I'm on a bulking cycle but still better start eating clean or I'll pay the price later!!

Great post DT,

I also think that it is beneficial to already be fairly lean to get the most out of your AS. I don't think you should be bulking at all if you're already over 15% bf. Karma.

Your right on brother. I wish I figured this out when I was younger. I used to go from 280s in the off-season to 225 to 230 on stage. WTF? I look back at it now and laugh. No wonder I thought the diets were pure hell....If I ever did it again, I'd start the diet around 8-9% bf and only have to lose 20lbs or so, including water. You'd stay much bigger and much harder.

Good post.

I've switched to doing only clean bulk cycles... fat is just so much harder to get off than it is to put on.

A MAN TO THAT. i have not work out for 2 1/2 months and only lost 5bls. eating clean this the best thing to keep mass.

Great post DT, I'm definitly with you here. I tried the eating everything in site last cycle, got 4 weeks into it (10 weeker) and realised that I'd lost all my abs, and had only put on about 15lbs. I was gutted, so decided to cut my calories big time, I was really depressed. Anyway I got the abs back but managed to completey balls up the cycle. Gained about 4lbs lbm total. What a waste of gear.

Definitly just gonna eat clean from now on!! ( I hated stuffing my face with flapjacks all day anyway)

nice, very informative cause im a newbie myself and just did a bulking cycle, got some fat cause i ate anything that didnt move out of my way, now im trying to cut out the fat doing cardio but im losing some muscle alongside of it

karma to you brother, great post. I wish i had thought about this before my first cycle. It just makes plain old sense. Even before I read this I was planning to do so on my next cycle. I hated the huge fluctuation in my weight between water and fat gains. That's why I'm not interested in the dbol kickstart anymore. i'd much rather gain a clean 15 and keep 10 lean lbs, than gain 25 and end up a chunky 15lbs up.

i read somewhere that to gain weight and to lsoe weight you eat the same exact shit, only thing that varies is the amounts you eat. I mean this is a basic rule. Obviously you will take different supplements and things. But same foods are used with different amounts. I have been doing that. But while on the subject of eating clean.. i got a quick question.. if i boil white rice and make baked potatoes, and instant mashed potatoes ... are those good forms of carbs for the day before 5PM?

Food for thought:
At Burger King I can get two doublecheeseburgers for $3.00. That's a quick 60 grams of protein but it's also 60 grams of fat. If I do that every week day throughout an 8 week bulking cycle that's
2,400 grams of fat
or
21,600 calories
or
6 lbs of pure fat weight gain in 8 weeks JUST FROM LUNCH! All of a sudden a Met-Rx shake looks like a good idea.
