Read the stickies with regards to foods.

Drop your cals 10% and evaluate progress. If you lose 1-2 pounds keep it at that level. If you don't drop another 10% until you begin to lose weight. Evaluate on a bi-weekly schedule.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Not one good reason to bulk ( get fat)...you can grow on a clean diet and look good year round.

I've tried bulking. it only made me a fat bastard. So, my question is, whats the obsession with it? I mean, I realize what the underlying motive is but if you eat clean, include all the necessary components in your diet, train right (take your vitamins and say yer prayers hulksters!!) Arent you going to get the same results, albeit a bit longer?

Because the thing which will make you grow properly is not a combination of a TON of supplements but FOOD

FOOD= NATURAL STEROIDS
