Nope, find me anyone with 2500-3000 calorie surplus with good training who put on more than 2 lbs of muscle each month (except genetic outliers).
Around 250/day can go to muscle, 2250 goes to fat (not exactly but you get the point), are you just stupid or what?
You bulk for 3 months and you have put on 8 lbs of muscle and 50 lbs fat, great you are now strong and fat!
Clown and moron.
Out of a few people here who actually gave decent advice, thank you.
I’m focused on my diet now, I know this was the problem, I’ll revisit this in a year and see where I am at.
Mate you are a mess at this point, its you that is missing the point time and time again.
If you massively over ate and gained 2lb of muscle a month, after a few years of doing (or 7 years) that you would have a substantial amount of muscle and be very strong, a fat ass too but a strong one packing some muscle.
You are missing the point. You didn’t get strong, just fat. You didn’t put on the 2 lbs of muscle per month. Nobody is saying ignore the diet advice, they are saying you need to fix both diet and training.
Basically, what they are saying is if at least your training wasn’t garbage, you would still be fat, but you would be repping 120 lb dumbells.
I said this 2 different ways in hopes it sinks in.
They are probably able to if they are jacked. They are just putting their effort into the regular bench.
Like many gyms, yours probably doesn’t have very many actually strong or muscular guys. Do you see people regularly using 4 plates or more on bench? 6 plates or more on squat and deadlift? If not, you are likely not in a place were serious people train. Almost every time I go, I see at least someone doing one of these lifts, and occasionally a lot more. I have seen a member do a 6 plate bench, I have seen 8 plate deadlifts at my gym. You are comparing yourself to people who haven’t accomplished very much.
Just fucking with you, I don’t consider myself either of those things!
If I was training in a gym with access to alternatives it probably wouldn’t be my first choice. But still you can 100% make it work to build the chest.
I think people here are too serious about gym compared to 95% of the people which is why you are saying things like 4 plate bench.
Most people are just in this to look decent, not become powerlifters or anything.
The biggest bench I have seen is probably 315 and that was for 3-4 reps.
Most of the time its people doing 205 or 225 and they look good, enough for my goal.
What percent of gym goers do you suppose get about the results they are looking to achieve? Perhaps it is as high as 5%, but probably lower. Interesting that 95% don’t achieve much.
That physique you posted is of someone who worked very hard to achieve it. The people who look how you want to look are probably very serious about it.
