Awesome man! Looks like another great log to follow along!

Great gains so far too!

What's your height so we can put the weight in perspective?

Do you have specific goals in mind?

Height is 5'11, BF% around 15%, mainly because I'm bulking, I'm a very hardgainer, Since the start of the program, I've been taking in 5000-5500 semi clean calories/day. As far as goals, I'm just trying to put on more muscle, I'd like to get up to around 220-225lbs. I'm loving the 5x5 progress so far.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Cool man.... we're very close in stats. Keep bustin' ass in the gym & Eating big, you'll hit 220 just fine.

You're not a hardgainer... just didn't eat enough before

 

[silver_shadow]

lol, yea with 5-5.5 k cals per day, after some time you won't be calling yourself a hardgainer anymore

 

[BiggT]

5000-5500 cals is the way to go....never hold yourself back by not eating.

I'm subscribed, you should see lots of gains.

Midgets are sweet!!! Yea, that's a current pic of me in the avatar, I feel very small though My current stats are 5'11 205lbs, 22 years old. But thank you for the compliment, I'm shooting for 220 by January, we'll see how that goes. I'll be bumping my calories up to 6000 as soon as i hit 210lbs, as I haven't really put on much fat going from 194-205. Thanks for the support also!
