You are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. By that i mean, you are playing with to many variables at once so it is hard to tell what is causing what at this point. I dont fault you for this as the majority of advice out there really over complicates the entire process of...

No, 1lb per week is to much IMO. I mean, you can gain 1lb a week, but the majority of it will not be muscle. Your body can only synthesize muscle at certain rate and everyone's body is different. Those that are genetically gifted, will build muscle at a faster rate, so 1lb per week can be gained...

Actually, that is quite common. As carbs/calories are increased, there is a rise in leptin and a decrease in cortisol resulting in a decrease in water weight held from the diet. If weight is being gained during a reverse diet phase then your either A.) holding water B.) in a calorie surplus...

Good luck bro. I remember seeing a pic of you awhile back and you already have solid foundation of muscle so interested to see how this cycle treats you. How about a before pic so we (and you) will have something to compare it to later?

During reverse dieting, i never gain any weight. Actually i tend to drop 2-3lbs and my skin fold measurements decrease during the first 2-3 weeks of a reverse diet, but my muscle bellies become more full and i lean out.

Agree 100% This x 2.

I tried the sarms AFTER i was in shape bro and nothing. It had nothing to do with my nutrition, training or even the sarms themselves, i just didn't respond to them. On the other hand, I respond fine to steroids. However, i dont run big cycles as i still have room to improve without the use of...

By non-responder, i mean i didn't get anything from sarms...they didn't do anything for me. Nothing changed, i tried them twice and didn't get anything either time. One time i was in a surplus and one time i was in a deficit...nothing either time. Since others on here did get results and i...

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...
