i think its safe to say that you can forget about all those years youve been “training”. if youre 170lbs after training for a lot of years, you havent done much. sorry.
cold hard facts, that a lot of us have to face at some point. if youve been training for a lot of years and dont know how to flip that “mass time” switch, then you havent learned much in all those years.
forget all those years youve trained. forget what you think you know. something isnt working. if youve been doing high volume work for a while, time to go low volume. if youve been low volume for a while, time to go high. shit like that.
your world of finance is much more complicated than putting on weight. if you can do that, you can do this.
I was gonna say that saying that you train hard and actually doing it are quite different. You could get a personal trainer, a really good one to find your flaws.
I believe that, until we’re seen in objective eyes, there’s some self bullshitting to some extent. Maybe in first person you train hard, but you train like shit under the eyes of someone who has attained a higher goal than you have. [/quote]
I think you both missed the part about this being the first time I have attempted to gain weight.
Over the years I have maintained a better physique than most men my age, and a lot who are many years younger than me. But this is the first time I have decided to bulk up.
My point all along has been to do a clean bulk because fat is harder to lose the older you get. Muscle loss, however is a piece of cake.
the koolaid tastes best when you make it yourself.
