Hi everyone!
I introduce myself, I am Jesus, a new Spanish guy around here, I have been working out for two years now and just ended my cutting stage, I ended up eating about 1900 calories and one hour walking with slope. After that I went through reverse-diet up to a point that I reached 2700 calories without adding any pound, I stayed around 170 pounds and 7,5% bf.
Now, I am aiming to everyone dream, a clean bulk, for the moment I am doing quite well and I continue increasing my calories to 3000 calories with about 200 gr protein, 100 gr fat and 325 gr ch. I work out 6 days in a row, resting on Sunday. I divide it in:
I usually do 4 meals a day. I divide my macros around the day as follows:
- Breakfast: around 700 calories, bread/healthy cereals as source of ch(50 gr), some fats(20-30gr) from avocado or dried fruits and protein around 30 gr.
- Lunch: I really enjoy a big meal here, so I eat 1000 calories of all kind of macros
- Pre-workout: an intake of 600 calories of 30 gr protein and ch 75-100 gr.
- Post-workout(dinner): the calories left, around 700, mainly protein, few ch(50 gr) and more fats from healthy sources so as to slowing down the assimilation of the protein during the night.
My main question is if I should do any change. And whether I should try to avoid ch at night because I eat like 2-3 hours before going to bed and during the whole day I have enough time to fill my glycogen stores and it makes more sense or actually I should increase ch post-workout and have a smaller intake in the breakfast and lunch(which is about 100 grams).

And about the workout, any suggestion to improve my weakness points according to my measures? Should I go for 6, 8, 10 and 12 reps instead of 8, 10, 12, 15, what do you think?
What should I do to reach the same size of thigh at my left one, I feel uncomfortable with the difference between them, easily notice just looking.
I attach some pics about my current look and my body sizes.
I hope you don�t find any trouble with my English skills to understand me hahaha.
Waiting for nice advices and criticism to follow
