what are your goals as far as bodybuilding wise, you trying to cut and lean down, or gain muscle and get bigger.

My Goals are to get bigger under 200lbs, I have to bulk then cut though right?

**chrispghmuscle** · 08-02-2007, 05:41 PM

ahh yes sir, bulk a bit until you feel sorta FAT then remove 500 calories from your diet and do CARDiooooo

**Kirk** · 08-02-2007, 05:42 PM

correct, increase your calorie intake. as said in many forums try 6-8 meals a day to keep your metabolism up. light cardio, 15-20 minutes or so preferrably on off days, train each body part every 3-4 days to allow optimal time for growth. how you split is entirely up to you. im taking in about 3000 calories a day and i actually knock out my cardio before my wo's. just my own personal thing, 15-20 minutes 3 times a week.

Guys.... lets see here....... I am kinda naive I guess. My goals are to compete under 200lbs (on stage) so do I need gain mass and weigh well over that then cut to my desired under 200 weight?
