hi i'm just about to start a weight training regime its been a long time coming!! i'm going to bulk for 6 months then cut will try to get my bf down to 10-12%. I've attached some photos any comments welcome.

You look like a classic mesomorph. I'm sure that you'll bulk up quickly...and those tats will look sweet!

Good luck!

Welcome!!

You're in shape already it looks like, or at least pretty good shape IMO. A good bulk will have you looking utterly fantastic, and it looks like you have some genetic predisposition to put on some quality muscle. Keep your fat in check by paying attention to the mirror, tape measure, and how your pants feel. Might even want to do weekly pics, or a pic every 2 weeks, to keep tabs on things.

6 months is a good amount of time to pack on the mass. Be sure to eat quality lean proteins, I always recommend some beef at least a few times a week if not every day. Keep carbs up around (before/after) weight-lifting times. Eat some oats. Eat some rice cakes (YUM) and/or rice. Try to eat green veggies at least once a day, if not more. Cook up some steak and have a portion of green beans or collards with it. :) Make sure to hit up a good carb meal immediately after weightlifting, I like protein+dextrose+maltodextrin, but there are all kinds of options. Try to get in a high protein/fat meal before bed (cottage cheese+flax, or natty peanut butter, or casein or protein blend+flax).

From your pics it looks like you already know about training, but let me advise one thing: squats and deads. :)

Welcome to JSF.

And good luck!

So are you going to be using the 1-AD/4-AD during your bulk?

thanks, i've got quite a busy schedule with work and family commitments so i try to keep to a strict diet but i find it pretty hard, i'm using the old cybergenics principle of compound exercises squats, rows etc... i do these to faliure neg and pos its my first week on it so don't know what the outcome is going to be! have you or anyone else had any experiences with cybergenics??
once again many thanks for the comments

Keep us posted please. Do you have a journal on here (I'm so lazy, I COULD just go look but I'd rather ask, lol)? I'll be interested to see what that 1ad stack does for you. Good luck!

I'm not familiar with cybergenics other than what I remember from them back in the 90s (or was it 80s???). Compound exercises are definitely good though imho!

Good luck and keep us posted.
