They should, but hard to say for sure as everyone responds differently. I was pretty much a non responder whether i was in a deficit or surplus, while others seem to have responded well.

Bro, you will be fine. Just eat at your normal calories for the reverse diet portion. I wouldn't try and overcompensate by cutting calories low the following day. As for the LGD, probably around weeks 3 or 4.

I was the same way bro, took me years to figure out the nutrition and how to get lean. You have done well bro, you are looking much better. It also took me several years to learn that training primarily with machines and cables was sub-optimal for getting results. Once i restructured the...

How long have you been working out?

If i had to pick one area that needed to be brought up the most, it would be your back IMO. When you say you did 66lbs.per side on the bench press, were you referring to Barbell, Dumb bell or Machine Chest Press?

There are various ways to measure your food and in the end, none are 100% accurate. The main thing is pick a method and stay consistent. Dont over think it. This is also another reason why i have staple foods and meals. I do rotate out meals every now and then, but for the most part i eat the...

You've gotten good feedback on the nutrition aspect. Your calorie surplus should be modest around 300 above your TDEE. Calories should come from primarily quality, nutritious, clean foods. Protein shakes are ok, but should be used conservatively. Real food is always better. Another aspect to...

What is the serving size? Google lentils for that serving size and see if it is for dry or cooked.

Ya, post your diet up as well. Workout routine looks alright. If you were asking my opinion, I would say the routine contains some "junk" volume in there. If it was me, I would be selecting exercises that are going to provide me the best return on my investment, which are going to be heavy...

First week. The 2nd week add another 25g carbs per day.

Sounds good bro. Just remember to add calories via carbs primarily and not much fat. Perhaps add 40g carbs and 5g fat to whatever your current macros are for workout/non workout days. Your results have been amazing my friend.

Awesome job bro. Huge difference. I would make sure and do a slow gradual transition into your lean bulk ( Reverse Diet). Your body will be primed for fat gain, so increase slowly. You will probably find you lean out even more when you start adding calories. This is known as the "Whoosh" effect...

Only thing I would add is some direct rear delt work. Unless you are one of the few that has naturally well developed rear delts.

Carmel Cowboy covered it completely and i agree with him 100%. Those calculators are estimates and give you a good starting point. I suspect adjustments will be needed. I am also not a fan of high fat diets. Like CC, i set my protein and fats first based on what is required, then set my carbs...

There is a lot I want to say, but simply do not have the time or space to convey it all. I would highly recommend this book...

No, absolutely not and here is why. CC was right when he said you need to build a foundation. This applies to your strength, workout routine and your nutrition. You have yet to master the basics and you are talking about running steroids? You will get far better results by straightening out your...

Personally, i would get rid of all exercises that end in "machine". Get rid of the torso machine, i have never met anyone with a great core who got it from doing the torso twist machine. I would not do pull and push workouts on the same day. Are you doing BB Bench Press? I would replace pec...

Thanks for posting. Well, there is more to nutrition than just getting in adequate protein. First, you need to determine your TDEE. https://tdeecalculator.net/ I did it for you and guesstimated you were about 25% Body Fat and estimated light exercise as these are notorious for being high. Your...

Thanks for posting those bro. It really helps us analyze where you presently are in terms of condition. Based on your pics, I would strongly recommend cutting at this point. Since proper nutrition will be the most important factor, let's take a look at your present nutrition and see if we can...

I agree with what RR and Mickc said. I will add my 2 cents as well. Your training should stay focused around heavy compound lifts in the 5-8 rep range along with some other work in the 8-12 rep range. Point here is don't start doing a bunch of high rep stuff, isolation or machine exercises. The...
