Question regarding size gain
« on: July 31, 2007, 06:32:43 PM »
I'm currently about 5'7'' and 150-155 pounds.  I've been training for a few years on and off and pretty much hardcore the past year.  I'm seeing gains in size as of now and would like to contiunue growing/adding muscle while trimming off the 4% of body fat thats covering the 'gut'.

I'm doing 4 days a week splits 
Chest/Bis
Back/Tris
Shoulers/Traps/Calves
Legs/Lower Back/some abs
2 days of cardio with some abs in there
1 rest day

getting about 140-150grams of protein a day.  80grams of it comes from syntha-6 protein shakes, while the rest is in the form of egg whites, tuna, ect.
Also doing a creatine cycle.  I'm still finding it hard to gain much weight with this.  Help??

Is it still possible to slim off that body fat while ingesting this much protein, plus the other calories that come from a pretty clean diet??

Thanks guys

thanks for the info romeo. 

Does anyone want to comment on the caloric intake/loss of fat % issue?  I would appreciate it.

True, get bulk/get stronger,  which has definately been working in the strength dept...I'm just not seeing huge gains in weight.  Trying to cut to a lesser extent...i would just like to knock off a few % points of fat.

Do you think I really need to be eating tons more when I'm already getting 1 gram of protein per pound?  Maybe I need more good fats in the diet?

more total calories in general, that's all weight AND muscle gain is, a TOTAL CALORIE game.
