and eat until you feel sick of what ever you like get some whey protein and get at least 100 grams of protein a day from that[/quote]
I already get 120-150 grams whey protein a day
I guess my main mistake here and what you people are saying is to up my calories and eat like a MOFO from Ethiopia because I need to gain mass

Yeah, a pro made it for you.
What do the set/reps look like on that pro made program.
And I am not a pro or guru but I shit better programs than that one.
One of the first things you should think about when trying to get big is to get strong.
You have to much in your workouts. Just get strong on the basics first.
Strength=Size.
GET STRONG and EAT BIG.
One more thing
Find a new doctor, you have gyno. I had a somewhat similar case. Mine wasn’t that…err… fried egg titty like.
My doc said it was nothing. I actually found out is was due to my use of SSRI’s and their effect on prolactin. Now it is gone due to usage of femera (which I dont reccomend).
It is probably because of puberty or whatever. It’s not that bad in the sense that I can wear a tshirt, and I look fine no one can tell. But I’m still not comfortable obviously, I am going to focus or getting lean and building muscle over the next few months, and then next spring do a cut of any fat I might of accumulated and then see if it’s still gyno
Doc said that my bf% corresponds to that gyno like look 19%

Ok, how about you forget about getting lean and focus on putting some muscle on. If you get lean you’ll turn into bone because you have no muscle on you. My suggestion is bulk for 2 years. Not until next spring.
Also, you will need to eat more. As mentioned before, find J. Berardi’s articles and read read read, all of his stuff.
The program you have is a bit cack. You don’t need to do that much. Your body will grow doing less. Less is more. I know initially all you’d like to do is workout 12 hours a day but you’ll soon learn that you could achieve more with 3 heavy workouts a week.
This guy has a good attitude

OMG Bodybuilding.com, I hope your wearing flame retardant underwear.
Lmao, yeah seriously in my opinion I’d just stick to T-Nation.
By next spring there is no way you will have gained enough muscle to cut and feel comfortable. It would be a waste to gain some solid muscle then cut less then a year later and lose half of it. If your trying to look good when you get to college most people will still think you are small at lean 155-160 pounds which is why you should just keep on bulking through the first couple years of college then decide if you want to cut.
Trying to look like Julian Greaux but deciding to cut less then a year into it is like trying to be kobe but saying your not gonna practice. Just eat a lot and work out with compound lifts and you’ll start to grow but cutting so fast would be a big waste of your time.

hahaha to the OP you ever wonder why everyone on that website weighs 160 lbs?
ay thanks for all these replies, much appreciated. I don’t know why you guys have beef with bodybuilding.com but I’m not gonna get into all that, I go there for the articles and stuff.
Julien Greaux’s physique is definetly what I want. So I suppose I am going to be bulking for a while. I read some John Berardi articles (still reading) and am going to do his mass building program or whatever it is called. Just did the calculations, I am going to have to eat around 3,000 calories a day for the next few years. My question is 2 part:
Again thanks for the help
btw to the dude who said something about the search function, it’s not working for me…

Bro, read from as many sources as you can. T-Nation is a great site tops for cutting edge training and nutrition. Continue to use it, but don’t be let guys knock you for getting info wherever you want; When you are new to this you just want to soak up info and reading all that stuff is a blast when you have that new eagerness for it.
You are going to make newbie gains so enjoy them all so and don’t get to complicated at this point just continue to soak up info and make sure you are eating plenty of lean protein and healthy carbs and fats and train hard on compound movements and rest and grow. If I can ever be of help shoot me a PM.
Take care,
D
You will make noticable begginer gains but dont start comparing yourself in the mirror every few days and get discouraged. Just eat lots and good and focus on compound lifts. When you start to get a gut or more fat then you want just remeber your goal and what you can look like if you keep with it.
dude, don’t get overwhelmed from all the articles you’re going to be reading, because it’s common for authors to contradict or disagree with each other. Instead, like the others said, stick to the basics.
As of now you can most likely get by with just 2 articles: John Berardi’s Massive Eating series (which you find here), and Chad Waterbury’s Anti-Bodybuilding-Hypertrophy Program, which you can find here. Start with those two, follow the workout and diet guidelines, and keep reading while you progress. That should set you for at least 2-3 months. After that you can progress to ABBH II, or another program if you like; point being, things don’t have to be complicated.
Good luck.
You need to…
a) Squat as much weight as you possibly can
b) Bench as much weight as you possible can
c) Deadlift as much weight as you possibly can
d) Clean as much weight as you possibly can
e) Military press as much weight as you possibly can
f) Dip and Chin for sets of 12-20 with bw as soon as you can
Eat, train, sleep. Everything you do needs to assist the above goals. Flyes, curls and leg extensions have no place in your life right now.
Yea - Julien Greaux is bricked.
Good luck, and as others have said, just read as much of the archived training and nutrition articles as you can. There’s an incredible wealth of knowledge here - learning and applying it are certain to produce results, but patience is key. Real dedication and patience is of utmost importance. Learn to lift hard and heavy, make sure you warm up and stretch properly, and learn how to eat the appropriate amount of calories, and what macro-nutrient ratios work best for you.
Also, learn to time meals and supplementation to properly create a muscle building environment in your body. A small amount of cardio work would benefit your overall health as well.
Considering that you have a home gym, and you’re using freeweights exclusively, focus on the big lifts - compound movements like benchs, deads and squats.
Most of all, allow time for it to work, and you may approach a physique like that a few years down the road. Best of luck…
Ok I have scheduled a blood draw and I am going to by a glucometer to find out my insulin sensitivy levels
I have a few more questions though:
Assuming that I make a clean bulk, how many pounds of fat can I expect to put on. I used to be fat and I lost some of it, and as a former fat person I am extermely scared of putting on excess fat during the bulk. I do accept and expect some fat to come on, but I want to take all the measures against it. Any reccomendations for that?
Thanks for all the replies, even the ****ed up ones about nipples
