Ok so this Saturday will be my 4th competition of the year so I have pretty much been dieting and cutting for the last 8 months. My weight was around 180 lbs after my show in June before I started cutting again. BF% was still until 10% though abs still looked really good, just not stage ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I'm the lightest I've been in a long time 165 lbs (I was 170 lbs on stage in June) I'm definitely leaner, but also holding way less water, I'm super dry I think because I have better AI's this time. BF% has to be under 5% I can see veins literally everywhere 24/7 it's kinda freaky lol. I took down my picture for security reasons, but might post one after this show so you guys see where I'm at. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now back to the point! I need to bulk up after all this time cutting... My diet will be similar to my competition diet, but with carbs in every meal and more fats/cheat meals. Eating 6 to 7 times per day:--- Protein: chicken, tuna, tilapia, ground beef (instead of flank I'm eating now), and whole eggs (instead of egg whites now)--- Carbs: yams, potatoes, oats, cream of rice, brown rice, maybe some dirtier carbs like pancakes, pasta, bread added in too--- Fats: almonds, peanut butter, olive oil, then my occasional cheat meals--- Also try to add in a shake or two on top of my meals... ~50g protein, ~100 carbs, ~12g fat, plus 12oz milk

Cycle: ??? Thinking I want to try NPP with Test E or Sust and maybe a couple orals that I will switch between (10 days then switch orals for another 10 days then break and repeat). I think with NPP Mon-Wed-Fri injections should be good. I'll run prami and I prefer aromasin for my AI. I'll be competing in national shows next fall so this needs to be an advanced bulk cycle for about 16 to 20 weeks before an 8 week cut. I'll be starting this cycle most likely in January after I take some time off gear completely and relax a bit. Sorry this ended up so long guys. Thanks for your help!
