Thanks for the replies. Everyone’s replies make sense to me and all seem correct even if they are a bit nuanced from one another. I think it’s important to consider this as you pointed out not many people must have 250-300g of protein but it’s also not going to hurt things unless you are having to force feed yourself to get there then maybe it’s counter productive.

This is great advice, I will start posting my workouts, meals and photographs. I’m not sure why my photos are not uploading when I add them- bummer. I will try again. The fruit juice is a good idea for intra-workout- I forgot about that tip.

I will try uploading them again but I have been using RP Diet App and I absolutely love it. I found the RPHypertrophy App to be kind of bare bones but I originally tried it within it’s infancy- so maybe I should give it another shot.

I’ve also used the diet app. Works great. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you can only use on phone or tablet. Would be much better/easier to set up foods if you could do it on a computer. Give the hypertrophy app another go. It’s fantastic.
Download Bluestacks and/or an Andriod Emulator for the computer and you can easily use the RPDiet App on the PC.

Both lol and it was killing me that I couldn’t use RPDiet on the PC. The nerd in me had to find a solution

For those who asked for pics. I’m bouncing between 140-142lbs depending on where I’m at in the month.

I’ll take better pictures of where I’m at now, that’s all I have for now. I especially have been working on growing my quads so any suggestions would be great

You look great! Arms are huge!!!
Def start a training log. Lets see what you are doing right and where you could use help.
What is your end goal?
How tall are you?

Fuck, be good, Andrew.
IDK if you’re on gear or if you’ve just got some stellar genetics for this, but either way - you’re doing it right.
For training apps, I like Hevy. It’s a little restrictive in what it lets you do, but it has the in-workout simplicity I needed for various intensity changes, and it works well for logging.
A logged session looks like this, with the HevyApp link at the bottom. There’s a social element to it that I don’t use at all, but it’s there.
I’ve also used FitNotes but I got a bit frustrated using it when training… not that I’m normally patient, but I’m particularly impatient when I’m lifting.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the RP Hypertrophy App, I just haven’t been bothered to spend the $$ to try it when I’ve got a thing that works.

Okay, thank you for the app recommendation. I will definitely check that out. No gear here. I think you are being nice but I appreciate it.

This is tough to say. What do you want to look like?
A bodybuilder?
A crossfit athlete?
A badass Chic that you don’t wanna fuck with??
Your compact so putting 5lbs of muscle on your frame will look a lot different then 5lbs on my 5’11" frame.
It is extremely helpful to know what your ultimate goal is. From that we can help you make “reasonable” goals along the way.
I want to look jacked.
I want to be reasonable. A lot of people tell me I look like I do crossfit. I guess that is a compliment but I would like to develop my legs further.
Start a log in the training log section. Let us see what you are doing for training and diet. We can help you adjust.
This is how I do my log currently if you wanna check it out or use it as a template
