Hi, I am looking for some constructive criticism. I am 5’10 and 180 pounds, my long term goal is to reach 200 pounds and keep low body fat. I want a ripped core too… Any advice on supplements for reaching my goal? I am currently taking protein, creatine, fishoil and just started using BCAA’s. My diet is poor and I eat alot of fast food and drink on the weekends…and some things are simply not going to change.
Although I have made some adjustments I try to drink more liquor than beer, and have learned to cook chicken breasts and some simple foods. So I’m making an effort to improve my diet as well, and hope to continue gaining size.
I tore my hamstring, in early November, a picture is somewhere below…it got far worse than that pic though.
Gaining size to me is important but i wish to stay fast and mobile. I was able to hit a 4.5 forty before my injury, and had a 32 inch vertical leap. I’m hoping I can keep as much of my athleticism as possible while gaining muscle mass.
If you have no desire to stay away from fast food and alcohol you obviously are not serious about your training and youre wasting everyone’s time. We can focus our effort and energy on someone worthy.

Not to be a dick 3B but didn’t you flake on your training for a while? Just saying.
This guy only needs to gain 20 pounds, I don’t think the drinking and fast food will prove to be much of a problem for him.
no one is perfect I flake a lot I’m not proud of it but its just something that happens. I can’t keep a solid diet down for the life of me either, and never get proper sleep. Although I still make progress and so have you obviously. Anyways to get better feedback you need to post more shots like your back and legs, also your routine. Your abs-which you seem to want to improve- are lacking for the low body fat you have.
You have a great foundation and low bf%, especially for a fast food eater. You’ll have to lose the fast food to accomplish your goal. As previously suggested, need some pics of back and wheels, but you’re off to a great start.

You are a clown… plz don’t post on my thread anymore. I said i was working on the fast food by learning to cook. But some of us have lives beyond weight training. I go to school 16 hrs and work i don’t have time to cook the best food ALL the time… I started my training weighing under 160 pounds and have hit a peak of 185 in weight and my body fat is low, i have a visable six pack and am able to lift a good weight.
My weakness is my legs but i tore my hamstring a while back, maybe 2 months ago so i have been taking it easy on legs and haven’t gotten back into the swing of things. I’d say for having a torn hamstring i’m looking pretty good in that picture… Posting a picture of the first stages of my torn hamstring before the internal bleeding spread and covered my entire hammy.

Marathe, if you look at the lady who i called a clown, she is clearly someone i do not need advice from (ESPECIALLY negative), I’ve checked her page out… It appears to me she is only upset because i can still eat fast food, drink, and still maintain a low BF %.
As far as the number of posts I have, well we all know how difficult it is to post something… right? I mean you just added one post by saying absolutely nothing… CONGRATULATIONS!
I’m here to get help not fight with anonymous people, so please keep your posts helpful guys, I am here to improve, and get advice from people who know what they are talking about…Thank You!
(I will post pictures of Back and PuNy beat up legs soon.)
Welcome abord AvGJoE
you’ll see there is a lot of negative and angry people on this forums but there also some very good and experimented people that are here to help you out.
Fast food is defenetly a thing you’ll have to get rid off ( but Subways 2-3 week wont hurt at all). Grocery store is your best bet
Drinking should be avoid on training days (+estrogen and poor sleep) but driking 2 times a week on the weekend wont hurt that much as long as you are not abusing it. Remember alcool IS a poison
Dark beer (iron) and red wine contain lot of polyphenol and antioxidant and you should try
to drink a glass of water between each alcool serving.
Dont try to gain mass too fast, 5-10 lbs per years is enough
and never sacrifice symetrie for mass
You have a good base and have potential to get even better if you really want it

I guess you meant experienced. To the OP, dont directly insult other members, its not good etiquette.
OP if you want to get to a hiher weight you just have to eat. youre going to need a lot of calories b/c of your fast metabolism. also while eating junk food in moderation may be fine for a bulk id reccomend taking the clean approach and you can just diet down when youre 5-15 pounds over your overall goal depending on your bodyfat% of course.
as far as supplments: BCAA’s, protein, creatine, fish oil, Surge, maybe a t-booster like Alpha Male…and of course a good multi-vit like Mega Men

Wow, and some of the strongest powerlifters in the world still drink occasionally and consume fast food at times… are they “not serious about there training”? I know you’ve put forward a huge amount of effort in your training, and you’ve received alot of support, so how about not blasting this guy when he asks a question about how to improve? Your post is like the smartass making an obnoxious comment so everyone can see how cool they are, which i’m sure isn’t how you want to come off.
Thnx guys, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to tell weather my Hamstring is ready for the weights again…
All of my brusing is gone, it has been maybe 7 weeks since I tore it. I wrapped, iced, and heated it towards the end. I think it may be ready, but i’m no doctoR.

Like you said, you’re no Doctor. Maybe you should see one. With something like your hamstring, you don’t want to screw that up further…
