LMFAO.
This whole “us vs them” thing has just become comical.
Look, contest lean, 10%, 15%, 20%, whatthefuckever%.

Thank you. I think the heavier you are muscle wise you can get away with a little more fat relatively and still keep some separation.
Look at the separation! Look at the mass! Gainz on gainz man.
Also where you store fat. Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like your chest has some so I would guess you store it on your torso and low back. Arms staying leaner relatively speaking than those areas

Yeah I mostly will store in low back and torso for sure. My extremities keep decent separation usually.
Different for me, arms donc have alot of seperation, abs still showing, I store fat in chest, arms and low back.

Low back is the worst and always last to go for me. I also tend to hold A LOT of water.

Personally, I can’.t relly make the differecne between fat and water weight. I just hope it’s all water but…well.

Helps if you fast for a bit
Good idea. Like a 24h fast to know your ‘‘real’’ weight.

I’m the same way.
When people say I’m looking good I always say it’s just well placed fat 
I have pointy tits, no gyno because there’s no gland or anything, but I think I had gyno in my early teens, had glands and shyt, now the skin holds the same position. Pisses me offff!!

I don’t know. T-Nation has changed a ton since I started lurking here on 2006.
Step 1:
Find a pre-written program that works all body parts, is based on intensity AND volume AND weekly progression. Don’t stall on strength gains for at least a year. Start light and smash the hell out of whatever you are doing, even if you think it is “too light.”
Step 2:
Go to the store and purchase this. I did this every week for the first 6 months.
Step 3:
Boil the noodles. Fry and drain the 2 lbs of ground beef. Combine the noodles, the ground beef, the tomato soup, 1.15 lbs of velveta, and the tomato paste.
You have just made goulash. (The secret weapon of strength/size gain.)
Step 4:
Make up a reasonable plan for how you are going to cook and eat all that food in various meals. Vegetables have no restrictions. Eat as much of that stuff as you want. You must eat at least 1 lb of meat for dinner. Be it steak, burgers, chicken, whatever. YOU HAVE TO EAT 1 FULL LB of meat at some point in the day.
Step 5:
You are allowed to eat other food too, just don’t make it “empty calories.” Remember though, if you bought food on sunday, all that food MUST BE GONE BY NEXT SUNDAY. Pizza bites are awesome post workout meals.
Step 6:
Prioritize your lifts. Don’t miss unless it is for school or an emergency.
Do that for a year. You will be over 200 lbs in 6 months. I recommend you do a simple program to get basic strength and learn the lifts, then do a “powerbuilding” program to get your size/strength. When you do this for a year you can then decide what you want to do, or do what I am doing and still be unsure and enjoy lifting with your new size.
Your diet can be less strict as you grow because you will have more metabolically active mass to use up the other calories (ex ice cream, fries, beer, etc…)
IF MUST LIFT AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN, OR YOU WILL GET FAT. GO UNTIL YOU COLLAPSE. IF YOU ARENT SORE TOMORROW, YOU DIDNT LIFT HARD ENOUGH TWO DAYS AGO.
Grilled cheese, pizza, subway, eating out, Chinese food, whatever you want. Just slam it, but don’t forget you ARE OBLIGATED TO EAT ALL THE FOOD YOU BOUGHT BY THE ONE WEEK MARK.
Measure your waist before starting, and once a month. Do so in the morning after you take a dump.
Weigh every time you go to the gym. Your highest weight, is what you will try to beat next week at some point in time. You don’t need to be meticulous. You just need to be heavier, and move more weight next week.

Weight should be in the morning after bathroom use.

It doesn’t matter if you are just looking to gain. Beat the highest number you come across consistently, and you will grow.
We aren’t talking about a cut, or being specific with your lean mass for a competition or to make a weight class.
EX. Last week I weighed in at 208.4 at some point in time. This week at some point, I will beat that number. Next week, I will beat that number.
