Typically most bulk in winter & cut after . How y’all feel about doing it every other month instead of an extended period ?

bulk /cut /bulk /cut etc until spring :patrice:

I started bulking(only about a month into it) as I felt I got my stomach down good enough but idk . That cut looking good right about now as imo I could prob knock my stomach down just a lil more . It’s slightly over my shorts just barley .

@360dagod think you might have been right when you said keep cutting :francis:

I will say this the strongest I’ve ever been :manny:

Seems counter productive to go back and forth every four weeks.

whats the best program for getting back into training? PPL or 5x5? Both seem like good looks given I can’t see myself committing to more than 3 days/wk for strength training just yet.

At three days a week, I'd recommend either Lyle McD's GBR (it's an U/L), SL or ICF 5x5, or perhaps even on of the beginner 5/3/1 3-day templates.


I never recommend anyone run any PPL template at less than 5 days a week (6 is ideal) as it drops the frequency down too much and most PPLs aren't going to be as beneficial for someone like you who may be running them with less volume anyways. No real point in running a program that only hits a muscle group once a week if you're natty IMO.


(FWIW, my homie just switched off PPL at my insistence, as his workouts were taking less than 2 hours so I knew he was sandbagging them shyts. :francis: My PPL sessions usually go for 40 working sets or so :usure:.)

Already regretting it, and I haven't even take one scoop yet :francis:
An African diet is already loaded with enough carbs....should've just bought the 5lbs whey container for the same price tbh
@Serious used to eat 4 big meals back in college, and I was progressing very well, thing is, I don't have the time for 4 anymore, so I have to add a shake to the 3 meals I eat.
Truth is you’re probably not going hard enough in the gym, drinking enough, and taking days off.


Like to gain size I went heavy, I mean damn near max. All i did was compound lifts no extra shyt. Squat, deadlift, barbell rows 2-3 times a week.


Also diet, you need to be eating real food no fake chicken nuggets but chicken breast and steak. A cheat code is milk post workout.


It’s very simple, but cutting corners is why you’re not gaining. If you can’t afford to bulk then don’t do it.

Whey =/= mass gainer. You tryna put on almost 20 pounds of mass, a 5# tub of whey ain't it.

You acting real bytch-made though, my nikka. Your African diet is obviously insufficient for your bulking needs or you wouldn't have needed any supplements at all.

You ain't even taken the shyt and already bytching about it. You really don't know if the shyt will even work or not. :childplease:


Buy supplements to put on size, post on the coli for advice, get said advice, and still don't take the shyt then bytch about buyer's remorse, bulking coli brehs. :beli:



Imma go ahead and pull your Powder Boys application. We won't keep your information on file. I just don't see you as a good fit in our organization. :mjpls::mjpls::mjpls:
I’ve been anti powder for years. That shyt is a marketing gimmick that makes the fitness industry tons of money.

Real food >>>> powder


Fixing oatmeal or making a sandwich doesn’t take some absurd amount of time.


Supplement is largely garbage is bs marketing. Most of the people selling it couldn’t tell whats exactly in it. I studied biochemistry in school for years only to realize the average gym blindly using this shyt has no idea what’s in these supplements.

I have had to break down to people that real food is superior to supplements. Despite the fact that it’s in the name itself “supplement”.
