I don't think there are any ideal ratios for bulking but I don't think you can go wrong with sticking to whole foods. By doing this you can let the ratios take care of themselves. Eat plenty of meats, whole eggs, fish, green veggies, cottage cheese, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and drink whole...

Hey Huskyguy, You've been packing on the lbs. Congrats. Are you still fairly lean (and natural). I think pull-ups can be difficult but improvements can be made quickly if worked at. I'm forcing myself to only do pull-ups and deadlifts for back right now. Back to basics.

Deads are king of the back builders. I just started to get back into them.

That's impressive to be able to stay that lean and gain that much. Do you train naturally?

Way too low. You need fat for test production amongst many other things. The biggest mistake I've ever made dieting is dropping the fat too low. I never got really lean, just lost a lot of muscle. I take in 200 grams per day now but I am also extremely low carb 5 days per week with high carb...

Damn, Huskeyguy. You've put on a lot of weight this year. What's the bodyfat %?

Full-fat cottage cheese is another pretty good staple.

You can also mix your protein powder with whipping cream. This can serve as a satisfying meal to give you a break from eating meat and eggs all the time.

Pork tenderloin can give you a break from beef. It's fairly inexpensive and tastes great without any preperation. I had the same problem with eggs. I just hard boil them now. I find I can eat them quicker that way and it's less painful. I can't stomach eggs first thing in the morning so I...

I also have problems eating first thing before work. I usually make a high calorie protein drink and follow up with a solid food meal when I get to work.

The source that I read it from only specified the hard boiled method. I tried it a couple of time this week. I found that once the water temp hits 180, it's difficult to keep it at that low of a temp. You need to have the gas burner on the lowest possible setting.

Rheo Blair claimed that this was 1000 dollar secret method for cooking eggs. Bring water temp to 180-185 degress, simmer at this temp and cook eggs in the shell for 25 minutes. He said that all the nutritional value is preserved but all the bacteria is killed. I think it's a little over the...

I used Max-OT for about 8 months straight. I found similar results. Initially, I got stronger but without any noticeable gains in size. I find my body does better with higher reps than 4-6 for size. I think it's great to go that low for periods of time but not all the time. I also noticed...

You gotta hand it to Rheo Blair. The stuff he figured out 40-50 years ago is slowly being accepted today.

I just found out that enough people bitched so they are replacing the power rack. I thought I was going to have to switch gyms mid-membership.
