what's up guys i just started with this site. ive been lifting for about two years now i'm 5'11 212 with about 8-10 percent bf. i just bought some basic supplements, creatine monohydrate, fish oil, multi vitamin, whey protein, and BCAA'S. i'm look to get up to 220 of lean muscle.

My diet consists of 300 grams of protein mostly from fish chicken breast egg whites whey protein. My carbs come from whole wheat bread baked potatoes and rice usually. My fats come from supplements like omega 3, olive oil, egg yolks.

Hitting the weights real hard always, staying motivated from the youtube videos of ronnie for the most part and the women.


I'll take any advice or critique-thanks guys

Welcome to the dungeon. Set a bodyfat goal and a time that you want to achieve this by. Decrease protein to 1g/lb. So for you to 220g. Perfect supplement stack. Good job!

Read this:

Do not set a bodyweight goal without setting a body fat goal too. Otherwise you focus too much on the number and gain fat in order to reach your goal.

Make a definitive goal and also state when you want to achieve it. This goal should be realistic to build your confidence and as you proceed your goals can become more of a stretch and they will push you instead of depress you.

Start by tracking everything you eat/drink for an 5-7 days. Take the average of your total calories, grams of protein, carbs, and fat. This is your baseline and is very important.

From here increase your calories by 500/day. This is your target caloric intake.

You want 1g/lb of bodyweight. No more, no less.

You want simple carbs when you first wake up and after your workout. The rest of the day you want complex carbohydrates.

Your total caloric breakdown should be 50-60% carbs, 20-30% fat, and 1/lb of bodyweight for protein.

You want 7-8 meals/day. This greatly increases absorption. Cook your meals in advance and it would be very helpful if you can afford it to purchase a rice cooker. Stick to fresh/frozen foods when possible. (try to avoid canned products).

Fat should come primarily from unsaturated sources.

Buy a few (1) gallon jugs of water. You want to consume 1 gallon/day. This may seem like a lot but its not.

Good foods are:

Protein: round steak, salmon, tuna, chicken breast, turkey, milk, and whey protein.

Carbs: oatmeal, sweet potatoes, yams, whole grain pasta brown rice, fruits.

Fat: Olive oil, unsalted almonds, flax seed oil, fish oil.

Vegetables can and should be sprinkled throughout your diet. I like broccoli and asparagus best.

Calories per gram:

Protein: 4
Carbs: 4
Fat: 9
Alcohol: 7

You should avoid alcohol as it reduces protein synthesis and dehydrates you.

For the next 4-5 years forget steroids even exist.
As far as supplements:

Don't buy Muscletech. A good supplement stack is:

Creatine Monohydrate, whey protein, flax seed oil, bcaa's and a general multi-vitamin.

Get your body fat determined and take measurements of your body. Also take monthly pictures in a variety of poses. This is one thing many of us forgot to do and greatly regret.

Get some of your favorite quotes and keep them around your room. Check out some of our pics/vids and use them for motivation. If you are having problems don't quit or get depressed you can come to the dungeon for support.

Determine your actual bodyfat.. not 8-10%. A definite number. Then set a definite bf goal and time.
