>lift hard 5 days a week
>eat big
>get nothing but fat but stronger
why the fuck did I listen?
>>37411331
Listen to what? The sticky literally has step by step instructions if you failed to follow it you may definitely be on the spectrum
>>37411371
No not the sticky, just in general thats what everyone says lift as heavy as possible 5 days and eat big.
>>37411331
>>lift hard 5 days a week
Doing it wrong. Didn't read the sticky. You are the reason you failed.
You ate too big. No one to blame but yourself, fatty.
>just lifting
it has to be a balanced workout
>>37411383
Just found this place boyo
>>37411379
You need to realize every post on this forum is a shitpost dude
>bulks without realizing it's a meme for steroid using bodybuilders
>more than 4 workouts a week
wew lad, meme magic is too powerful for some autists
>>37411396
I never see any big guys do any cardio except warm ups if they even do it at all
>>37411396
"Lifting"... Must've been fork with food to face till failure.
>>37411331
>not continuing for two years
"eat big"? What? What does that mean? How many calories over TDEE were you? 200? 300? 500?
Also, how long have you been at it?
>>37411411
another nub fell for the bulk meme, next i bet he says he did weighted dips too
>>37411435
>eat 6000 calories a day
>400g protein
>workout consists of curls and flys
hurp durp i didnt get results wtf guys
>>37411435
I dont count, some nights ill have a 12oz steak, others ill just order a large pizza and eat it for lunch and dinner.
>>37411463
While you're PIZZA and getting FAT with NO GAINZ, CHAD is at home eating PIZZA and building LEAN MUSCLE.
>>37411463
You need to know exactly how many calories you ate each day, and that you've hit your protein levels.
And you're wondering why you got fat. Bulking means being 200-500 kcals over your TDEE
You're literally too dumb to bulk
congrats
>>37411331
>He fell for the eat as much as you can meme.
Count your calories. And don't eat more than 500 over maintenance.
>>37411483
no way i eat over 3k a day
>>37411379
So you did not listen to the sticky, but you listened to the idiots on this board?
> congratulations, you played yourself
I don't know what you're all bitching about. My first year I bulked hard, gained 20 kg. In the mirror I just looked fatter but I pulled more weight in the gym. Did a 10 week cut and looked preatty good. I'll bulk for another year now and then cut down untill shredded. What's the fucking problem?
If you're getting stronger you're building muscle. Who cared if you add some fat while doing it? Just cut it away in spring like everyone else?
>>37411516
"no way I eat too much" -- every fatty ever
"no way I eat too little" -- every skeleton ever
Get your shit together, retard. This is literally the #1 excuse we hear in every single thread. You don't know shit about how many calories you've been eating. You've probably been 1000-2000kcals over your TDEE on some days.
Secondly, get bodyfat caliper and a tape measure to measure waist circumference and bodyfat%, don't trust a scale. Water-weight, digestion etc influences the scale too much and makes results relatively meaningless except over the course of months
You also need to know what your TDEE is exactly and then make sure you're hitting exactly the amount of calories you want to go above it.
Since you probably don't have a clue, start with this; use a TDEE calculator, use the number it spits out, eat EXACTLY that amount of calories each day for a month. Observe weight/bodyfat% changes.
Now you can infer your true TDEE.
Now to bulk, slowly raise caloric intake by 100kcals/week until you start gaining muscle/weight, usually what you want is somewhere between 200 and 500kcal over TDEE
also, if you haven't been lifting for at least a year, you shouldn't even think about bulking anyway, because if you just lift heavy, you will build muscle no matter what
>>37411517
even worse, he probably asked his friends or random gym ppl
>listening to normies on how to workout
>lol 80 IQ detected
>>37411379
>derr but da nice people on da intrnet says to do it dis ways
Maybe do some research next time, chief. It's not like there's ever a consensus, you saying "everyone says" to do it this way makes me think you read one post and then decided that was it.
>>37411553
this is a shitposting thread, get with it or get out
>>37411570
no its not
how many calories should you cut from your TDEE while eating at a deficit to keep energy levels up but also lose weight at a reasonable pace?
>>37412331
500
>>37411407
>forum
>>37412331
If your TDEE is above the 2k range you can cut as much as you want as long as it's reasonable.
If you're below it, 100 at most on a weekly basis.
While you can cut more, you run the risk of a lot of side effects. Mainly low energy levels, low libido, and depression.
No point in cutting if you can't make it through your usual activities and enjoy your life.
Only fatties will argue to cut extreme amounts.
They can afford to.

Just out of curiosity, I have to know. Is there a Where's Waldo book ever made where they have a picture where they purposefully did not put waldo in, to troll people.

Abbos have adapted to the harsh Aussie environment in many fascinating ways.
Their skins are speckled with crystalline flakes that protect them from the harsh sunlight of the Outback and interestingly enough, due to the light being reflected differently, appear as white in certain lights from certain angles.

Is that really how big Troy was? I thought it was much bigger...
>>37412492
Thats why its funny retard
>>37413130
At the time of the Trojan War, its generally reckoned that the population of the city was somewhere around five to ten thousand people spread over about fifty acres or so. Big by the standards of the time, a large country town by todays standards.

>everyone ONLY works out at the gym
They definitely aren't, maybe, exercising elsewhere as well.
Run, do martial arts, play some pickup sports; use that body that you are building and sculpting.
>>37411463
If this isn't bait, which it probably is, you are completely doing this wrong. I'd suggest to continue reading on the subject.

I never once read the sticky, my first experience was a brosplit, then a push pull legs 2x a week once I realized a bro split sucks. Now years later I'm 240 6'5, unironically.
