1st cycle

What I'm looking to do is to stay at 10-12% body fat but put on as much muscle as I can. Now, I always eat clean but I'm not sure how far I can bump my calories (or how fast I can bump them) without getting excessive fat storage.

Any help on how fast to bump calories and by how much to bump them would be very appreciated.

^^ that LOL

bro eat some more food, lift and come back in another year or so

Bro you still are producing natural test thats alot higher than you think. My advice would be to pack on as much natural muscle for at least a couple more years before you begin using gear. In my first year of training I put on over 20lbs naturally. But I know if you have AAS youre going to use them. So figure out your mbr and then add 500 calories to that and adjust from there. Remember a good amount of carbs are just as important as protein. And in all my years of lifting all I ever hear is I dont wanna go over a certain bodyfat. Well look at any pro off season... Your gona gain a little more than just muscle weight bro. Water, fat, ect...

yep, biggest mistake I made early on was eating almost entirely protein, not nearly enough cals, eating too damn clean etc. You're very skinny still bro, eat alot, drink lots of whole milk, burgers, don't be afraid of carbs, lots of shakes etc. Lift 4-5x a week and be patient, results will come if you stick to your diet


Finding out your maintenance cals and getting a food scale is a great investment also, takes all the guesswork out of things

not busting your balls bro but i was 6'1 175 sub 10% when i was a 17 year old hs athlete. you have a lot of gains to make naturally

you wouldnt be the first one to juice before being ready so if you do go through with it (i suggest you dont)... EAT EAT EAT

calorie dense foods should be your best friend, since at 157lbs you clearly have trouble eating enough. get some peanut butter and a big spoon

Doctor told me to stop eating peanut butter cause it contains aflatoxin which was screwing my liver values. Anybody else hear of this before?

 

[Digitalash]

you'd have to eat alootttt of peanut butter methinks to cause liver problems lmao. You'll be fine IMO, eat peanut butter out of the tub, put olive oil in all your shakes, eat more carbs etc. IMO eating 100% clean is not important unless you're cutting down to single digit bf%, on a bulk it will help you as long as you account for the calories you're eating and hit your macros

Peanut butter is healthy, eat it, but buy the natural kind w no trans fat.
