Tenny, your telling me to put on my reading glasses. lol How about YOU go back and read my fucking diet I put on 15lbs in 2 months doing. It was to cover 20 iu's of slin 5 times a day. Maybe you should do a little calorie counting and put it up against your diet and then come back and tell me about how I'm gorging myself. Maybe the rest of you should do the same.
All you guys suck each others cocks over at PM and what a surprise it continues over here. To date Tenny has talked shit about the very words that BIGA has put in print and talked shit about the very things Shelby had me doing during a bulk. "Tenny, I can't hear ya over all the noise Shelby's pro card is making buddy". He coaches pro's, where are yours???????????? Maybe it's time to start with the "oldman" shit? Maybe I should be taking a look at the diet you gave Pesty that made him hungry. I remember specifically going in depth with you about the Bowl Diet and what makes it work. BTW: much of this can be found in open forum posts.

I am certainly no expert and realize that I may not seem as credible as others here. I just speak from my experience... I was a pretty good athlete in HS and was one of the more muscular kids. I joined the Corps - and had to run MUCH more than other Marines because I abso-fucking-lutely may have been the most genetically un-gifted runners ever (although I did hit 18:46 on pft at Quantico - digress )
So - I looked like a pow - but got out the Corps and wanted to gain muscle. So I was in a pretty hard core gym and I listened to all the dudes telling me to EAT EAT EAT... and I ate until I was 270. Now admittedly I was strong as fuck and had some muscle but I felt like shit and HATED looking that way. So I dieted and did some shows and even won my class (never an overall)
So - went through a miserable divorce - didn't even step in a gym for 12-13 years and then would start and stop for a couple of years.
I half-assed did the transformation contest on PM - and really didn't do much of shit toward the end because I had started so fat and figured what the hell

So we had a major disaster down here and I didn't train for about 9 months but read ALOT and was really intrigued by both intermittent fasting and "eat when hungry". I took pics 5 weeks ago and I am totally shocked that at 45 I made the changes. I will post before and after at the 8 week mark and maybe I will hold a little credibility.

My understanding of eating when hungry versus just eating is that you let your body dictate when you are anabolic rather than try to force an anabolic environment by eating excess.
I am 5'8" - started at about 228 and have lost literally 6 inches off my gut and weighed 223 the other night.

My wife really wants to see me compete again - we weren't together the last time and she is fascinated that my body has changed and honestly just digs muscle has watched many BB shows streaming online. She ALWAYS pics the top 3 and usually in order or close!

So I know this is a stupid long post but it just seems like maybe what BBoy and Tenny are saying is that if you do the right things - training - rest - supps - you WILL be eating a lot.. now maybe not EVERY DAY - or even ALL day.. but when the muscle needs fuel it will ask for it...

Then again - maybe I have no clue what they are trying to say.

Did I miss the science proving when your hungry your anabolic and eating when your not hungry all turns to fat? Where is the science about shitting more than once a day?

I'm happy you figured out what works best for you not to consume so many calories you just get fat. But eating a control diet that targets a mild calorie surplus will NOT do this. You need to consult with a professional that can plan the proper bulking diet for YOU. Noone else. But if what your doing works for you. Don't get off a good horse.

Valid point - as I stated I am far from an expert here... I haven't the slightest clue as to whether science backs up any particular method for all people in general.
CG - you've obviously built a hell of a physique and what you do works for you...

I was just saying that maybe the eat when hungry idea gets misunderstood by some guys that aren't really in tune with their body..

Really isn't that what it's all about anyway? Understanding your own body. I mean you tell guys about "mind/muscle" connection and there is really no way to explain it. Either you get it or you don't.

Trust me - I ain't here to argue. I wear myself out arguing with all the fucking voices in my head as it is!!!!

Please don't put me in the middle of your pissing contests. That being said, The diet was nothing special, just eating quality food. Most people are looking for a magical unicorn doesn't doesn't exist.

exactly....its not about any diet...

just controlling macros....its simple.....

if people want to complicate the LIVING SHIT out of it...
and then think they are doing something special...then go ahead.
lol, no one cares..

 

[tenny]

this thread is kinda like.....

"how can we take peanut butter and jelly sandwiches....
and make it look like rocket science????"

oh oh oh....."and if anybody says....'but its only PB and Js dude???"
then they are PM cocksuckers"

someone sounds VERY angry...at what??? I guess only
he knows....because no one else cares.

LMAOOO

Tenny in your competing years, how did you approach the offseason? What did you do during your best and most successful offseason? Successful meaning added the most amount of stage weight.

I just kept banging along....I didn't care how much I weighed
or how much stage weight I was putting on....the mirror was my
tool...

of course I wanted and needed to be bigger...
but the trade off for it wasn't a good trade for me....and was happy
with the size I had....theres no special potion...you take more shit
you get bigger, simple...I was never willing to take more shit...
thing is.....now I can take 200mgs a week and maintain that size.


least I weighed on stage was 206.
most I weighed on stage 224...

I trained heavy with lots of volume....

How long did it take you to put on those 18 pounds? What was the heaviest you've been off-season? And I'd love to see pics of that hahah

 

[tenny]

I believe it was an eight year span there....

ive been 268 most ive ever weighed....

don't know if I have a pic of it...
I can probably find something close though.

 

[tenny]

low 260s.....not 268
really the only one I have from around that time

I was trying to still hold on to the hair...


so eat how you want to eat, that's what I did and still do...
if you feel you need to eat like a prison inmate...then do it
if that's working for you....

but I if don't feel like eating....THEN I DONT....I gained just fine
and not boat loads of slin, or gear..

 

[Marky boy]

Would be good to discuss insulin more and the diets and protocols everyone has used to gain lean tissue.

I know certain coaches such as Justin Harris are keen on slin at 3x per day 3x per week and he has some very decent competitors!

I'm all for experimenting with food and slin to see what I can achieve ( along with AAS too ) so hit me up CG and wel talk and I can log the experiment possibly

We will need to do a totaly different thread for this topic - some strait forward questions and answers and i .my self would like to do an insulin progress log-
This is a topic that like Lil Sully pointed out is long over due.
Sorry for getting of the first and main subject here CG

 

[tenny]

my question is....

CG....why (at closer to 60 then 50) still feel the need to
keep bangin slin...???
