All questions are welcome; pics make it easier to assess. Let's have at it fellas.

Who are you on E46fanatics?

I bottomed at 6'1" 153lbs after a backpacking trip to Peru. Heavy cardio leading up to the trip.
Started eating/lifting with a 170lb goal. 2 months later, I'm at ~163lbs and climbing.
I've been averaging ~48/26/24 % carbs/fat/protein

Good job man. Keep up the good work, and post here often to let us know how you're progressing. Are you using a typical split in the gym?

Working push/pull days with legs/abs in between. Looking to standardize my split, but also need to switch it up and shock to grow. It's tough for us skinny guys.

i feel like u should only track macros when ur cutting to make sure everything is in check. all that # will f with ur head overtime, u get tired of tracking the # over n over again. i stopped tracking since i started my bulk, i just make sure i hit my protein, n eat a good amount of carbs/fats but i am not gona be anal about how much i am getting in. more power to you if you dont mind tracking all year round, just my opinion and it works for me.

I'm not tracking religiously. I use myfitnesspal to log all my meals/snacks to make sure I'm hitting my daily calorie goal.

MFP is a handy little app.

I've never used it. Maybe I should look into that app

Once you get into a routine, it's pretty quick to enter your meals/snacks to get a rough idea of your daily calories/macros.

I am pretty good at knowing P/F/C/kCals I'm putting in my body daily to meet my goals but I'm always willing to try out a new aide. Just downloaded it.

It's helpful man, and it remembers eating patterns/paired foods.

I use MFP when I want to be strict. It is very helpful. I have not been using it much recently. I am lifting more now (for me anyway) and need to eat and I feel like MFP forces me to restrict myself, albeit not intentionally.

That makes two of us. It subconsciously has a restrictive nature; excellent for reigning yourself in. I'm trying to grow a bit right now, so I haven't been tracking my eating as closely. I do monitor the mirror though! I'm on a 2 month lifting regimen with a focus of putting on a few more pounds of lean mass, and then it'll be back to dieting down to see where my LBM/body fat numbers are at.

Here's one of my InBody scans from late 2013:

Sedan_Clan · 07-22-2014, 11:48 AM

Here's one from a lil over a month ago after I did a dietary test run. A 'cut' diet coupled with low intensity fasted cardio on the stairclimber works wonders, and preserved my lean muscle mass despite the drop in raw pounds. I want to ultimately do a show, so I needed to test my ability to stay away from the Coldstone, Pizza, gummy bears and Chipotle.

What do you think of New Rules of Lifting for a beginner?
I recommended it to someone today
