Thread: Increasing Calories while on cycle?

At 6’’0” ,210 right now my end goal is 240ish 11% or less bf. I’m getting older so it’s definitely getting harder. 35 now. I’ll probably end up having to up protein more as I age to stay leaner.

I have an open mind and I'm always willing to see it through somebody else's eyes. Not just my own. I'm always ready and willing to learn new things. I am not better than anybody here. And I am only the 204th smartest guy here. 203 of that one guy retires.

Funny story when I was somewhere around 15 years old teenager me and my buddy who was built more than me went into a supplement store. The guy who worked there was obviously a bodybuilder. My buddy looked at the store employee and asked what could he do to get big The store employee looked at him and said you need protein before you go to bed. Then my buddy looked at me and said what does he need to do to get big. The store employee looked at me and said he needs a weight gainer before he goes to bed. When you're sleeping you're growing on your days off you are growing as well. At night is a great time to get more calories especially protein. It is true if you're trying to keep your figure that you may need to make adjustments as far as protein carb and fat ratios. That is a subject I'm not that great on. Some people believe that with the ever-growing popularity and money making business of protein powders and protein supplements did they have convinced us that we need more than what we can use. Maybe? But I'll leave you with this thought

Have a natural limit. You can reach this natural limit by using natural amounts of protein. Or what you might call modest. Course you still have to try hard. Being on anabolic androgenic steroids gives you an advantage. You got to utilize and take advantage of that. Anybody can take steroids. But if they go sit on the couch and do nothing. They will never grow. You need to feed the beast. Your body can do and handle more than you think you can.
It can be hard to eat massive amounts of food in massive amounts of protein. Depending on what type of food you're eating can depend on how bloated you feel. Unfortunately the less bloat the more bland the food will become. Not fun at all. If I wanted to stay lean I would drop my carbs are bad but I would still have my protein. Even more so if you're cutting down. That's when you're catabolic. Protein is King. Now to be clear for 14 year old kid is reading this right now you need more than protein to grow. You need carbs lots of them and fat too.

Anyways totally rambling on here
Here's a picture of me and my wife on that night at Cisco Bay.

I like that you mentioned growing outside of the gym(sleeping and off days). Recovery,sleep, and downtime are paramount to building your physique. I noticed a huge difference when I got rid of empty calories and started looking at food/supplements for fuel and growth. The more advanced you get in age, there is more need for change.
