intro
 

Hi, I'm pretty new to hm. I'm looking for advice and like reading all the threads for motivation.
Age:26
Height:5'11
weight:161lbs (hard gainer)
bf: 12 ( using the pic charts online)
Job: construction(heavy highway)
I've been into Working out/fitness for about 10 years on and off. Got out of the marines a couple years ago. I eat between 3k 3.5k cals a day that includes a serving of either the serious mass weight gainer or the bsn true mass. I work out four days a week after work ( which is an 8-10 hour workout lol). I try to stick to compound movements and take about 1.5-2 minutes between sets. My first order of kalpa test p should arrive soon( test p 100x2, and the basic pct pack from gbn. Any advice is welcome , thanks in advance.

anything would help
 

Questions are encouraged, I'm willing to try a new diet or workout as long as the diet is financially doable.

Welcome to HM bro

thank you
 

Been looking forward to becoming more active

Just food for thought, but with the type of work (and length of workday) you do, you may(?) need to be eating more than 3 to 3.5K calories a day to put on more muscle, especially if you're a "hard gainer"?

I say that because I'm a bit of a hard gainer myself, and I know that I really have to eat a lot to grow.

Welcome to HM, Good to have you here

Welcome to HM

I think you should definitely up your calories fella to something like 5k when you start your cycle

hi, and thanks
 

Would there be anything wrong with adding a second meal replacement each day or would that be too much cholesterol and or carbs? Also, I've read some conflicting statements on milk before bed so I recently stopped that but can start again. When it comes to hydration I slam water all day but the summers here are pretty hot, I live in the south west us. Any tips for better water retention?

Questions
 

Would anybody be willing to answer some questions about this prop Cycle ( length dose)? I bought two with plans of 1ml eod for 40 days. I wanted to start small and see what the results are but I'm seeing some articles on the web that say this might be to short. If I need to buy another 10 ml ill do so. For pct huge tom advised I take
Day 1 – Clomixyl 150mg - in three divided doses.
Day 2 - Clomixyl 100mg - in two divided doses
Following 10 days – Clomixyl 50mg - before bed
Following 10 days – Clomixyl 50mg - before bed

P.s. how's that lottery work on gbn?

For as active as you are, just remember that good quality complex and simple carbs are your friend if your goal is to gain muscle. Glycogen, from carbs, is your bodies preferred energy source - Sports Nutrition - Carbohydrates - How Carbohydrates Provide Energy for Exercise

IMHO - 40 days is too short of a cycle. Good thing about prop is that it clears your system fast if you start to experience sides (e.g. gyno). Bad thing about prop (my opinion only), is that you become a human pin cushion using it eod.

You may want to consider having some Nolvadex on hand before you start, in case you do start to get some sides - this has been my practice. But, I can say from 30 years of using the juice that I'm not someone who is prone to getting sides while on cycle, but this is just something that you will figure out for yourself as you gain personal experience from cycling.

Solid advise from Huge Tom about your plans for PCT.

Hope this helps?

thank you
 

Would you say a 60 day would be good? I can order another prop and some nolva,ill wait for further info. I appreciate the advice btw. This is my meal replacement,Attachment 2194
I only take it once a day one off days between breakfast and lunch(boss gets pissed about me running to my lunch box every morning lol) and twice a day for on days ( post shake). i read the carb article and I can definately add more pasta. Should I switch to wheat pasta or can I stay with the generic brand "American beauty" white?

night time?
 

What are some of the late night bulking snacks that you guys like? Ill try anything to get some more cals in

In your shakes add peanut butter and a scoop of oats you will be amazed on how many calories that will add

not Hungry, still eating.
 

Tried the peanut butter but plain oatmeal is in tomorrow, I read I should toss em in the blender for a min before adding to the shake. No matter the taste/ consistency I know now I need more cals.

Alot of people blend them I never its all about personal tolerance

Also..
 

The Quaker oats (plain, old fashioned whole weat) is ok right?

Thats the one's

very well
 

Ill add that starting tomorrow, hopefully more people post some more in between meal ideas.
thanks
