Neither do I. Neither do most people. You can still make the best of what you’ve got.[quote=“lankybruh, post:74, topic:229445”]
But somehow in you guy’s eyes. It’s my diet that’s keeping me from making any gains at all the gym.

Ok, one last attempt despite knowing you won’t listen. I’m going to give it one last go:
It is your diet. I know you don’t want to admit it, but it is. You ate too much and got fat. Sucks, I know, particularly because you were eating what you thought were “clean” foods (an annoying term in itself but that’s another conversation for another time), but even the cleanest of calories will turn into fat if you eat too many of them.
“Bodybuilding is 80% nutrition” is a very famous quote by a man called Vince Gironda. Go ahead and google him and the people he worked with. Recognise some of those names? Yep, they were some big jacked dudes. Think that maybe old Vince knew what he was talking about? Yeah; me too.
The reason people are getting frustrated with you (aside from the fact you come across as a whiny, arrogant dick) is that we’ve seen these threads 4,000,000,000 times on these forums. Seriously - stick around a while and you’ll see for yourself. Young guys like you will talk endlessly about which routine they’re doing, and their diet is reduced to a couple of key sentences like “my diet is perfect” or “I eat clean” or some such. The diet is always an afterthought.
But here’s the thing: ANY routine will get you jacked. Literally any routine you find on any website or in any book (if guys your age even read those anymore) will work. So when you say “I’ve tried SS, ppl, PHAT” and all that shit, no one cares because it doesn’t fucking matter. The actual routine itself is completely arbitrary.
Getting into the gym and training hard is the easy part. It’s locking your diet down day after day after day after every fucking day is the hard part. I know you believe you diet is good, but the results speak for themselves and no, it’s not because of your hormones or any of that other shit that’d take the blame off your shoulders.
I will now tell you how to set up your diet. There will be no ifs or buts from you, and if you have any fucking sense you will do exactly what I say. I don’t want to hear a single word of argument or complaint out of your dirty little mouth. Agreed? Ok. Against my better judgement I’m going to give you both bulking and cutting guidelines despite the fact I don’t actually think that’s the best thing for you. I do however think it might be advice you could potentially listen to.
So before we start, your maintenance calories is BW x 15 cals. That’s your bodyweight in lbs mulitplied by 15. Got that? Good. If anyone tells you anything different you have my permission to murder them.
CUTTING:
-BW x 10-12 cals
-Protein 1g - 1.5g per lb of bodyweight
-Carbs 150g or less
-Remainder calories from fat
BULKING:
-BW x 20cals
-Protein 1g - 1.5g per lb of bodyweight
-Carbs 1g - 2g per lb of bodyweight
-Remainder calories from fat.
I don’t particularly give a shit about food choices, but don’t be a dick and get all your carbs from cake or anything else stupid like that. You know what constitutes a healthy food and an unhealthy food, so act accordingly.
Right. Off you go.
