Pics from summer cut

[Cryptix]

Taken getting close to the end. I didn't get as lean as I wanted, but here it is.

I did a carb cycle and put my high days on legs and back, on low days i just had carbs in my first meal.
when this was taken i was 165, since then ive slowly been putting on some weight and im up around 175 right now.

i've been trying to bring up my lats cause i think that's a low point, any constructive criticism is helpful

Lookin good man. I am going to start cutting down after the holidays(like everyone) I have been trying to bulk since I broke my hand and was out of the gym for 2 months.

[OLYMPIAN]

5 more weeks and you woulda been shredded

[Dawgpound_Hank]

Lookin' solid and lean dawg.

Posing tip 101 for ya from DPH > Dont pull your elbows back so far when hitting a front-double-bi shot bcoz:

1 - makes your pecs disappear
2 - narrows your lat width
3 - makes your arms look smaller

...position your elbows so they are about 4-6 inches in front of your ears...not directly out to the side of your ears. Illusion brah.

Actually I was wondering if one of the vets on here could give me a hand, I've been trying to put on the weight but it's slowed down lately at around 175 (still with some abs), id really like to push it to 185-190.

ill list what im eating, it's not the exact same thing everyday like it was when i was dieting:

M1: 1 cup oatmeal, 3 tbsp peanut butter, 2 scoops of whey (45g protein)

*gym* peri-workout: sip on 300 ml of orange juice watered down so i don't get too much sugar at once

M2: post workout: cup of orange juice, 2 scoops of whey, usually eat some whole fruit too or put it all in a blender with some frozen

M3: cup of rice (measured when its uncooked) and something that has ~30 grams of protein (tuna, salmon fillet, chicken)

M4: same as before

M5: ill be hitting the hay around this point so its usually, 2 scoops of whey in 2 cups of milk


if i'm staying up longer ill add another meal in between 4 and 5 where i have some more carbs+protein

on non-workout days the peri and post meals get substituted for 1 meal with carbs+protein. training 4 days a week.

if the weight gain has slowed down, is it a simple matter of adding more calories? I don't count them every day, but every once in a while ill look at what im eating and it hits around 3000-3500

ive gone from 160 - 175 in about a month and a half, so maybe im just getting too anxious, but if i cut all my water weight ill drop to about 170 like i did a couple weeks ago just to assess where im at.
