@ize19 The thing is I am steadily gaining weight with my current macros (). Or are you saying despite I'm gaining weight, I should still up the calories to see better progress?

@needaanswer Yep I'm considering getting a coach now, do you have experience working with 3DMJ coaches?

@ticketbroker Thank you for the kind words. Yep MacroFactor adjusts the calories to meet the goal. If you look at the picture I attached, you can see I'm steadily gaining weight. Yep, this year I transitioned to doing more of a bodybuilding style training so I'm kind of experimenting with...

@jess1 Not sure why people think I just maintained. If you look at attached MacroFactor data, you can see the lean bulk in action.

@neworthodoxdenomination1 Tbh when I was at 190 I felt fine physically, apart from the fact that I was dirty bulking and had to stuff food down my throat. So I started the lean bulk on May 29th, and given the current projection, I'd reach my end weight of 175lbs on Apr 3rd next year. This is a...

@drgary777 I replied in other threads as well but on one hand I understand this while on the other, you have people like GVS who has been training for I think 8 years already(?), and has put on insane mass over the past (few) years... Thanks for the input though, I think the consensus is that...

@drgary777 Not sure if I understand correctly, but I think that's what I did/am doing right now (), I did a cut, maintained for a bit, and is now doing a long lean bulk.

@gailmaki52 Yep, that's why I'm here

@leena2016 Interesting, I didn't think this would be a problem. I'll think about it.

@leena2016 I'm not asking for permission, just feedback, since this is my first attempt at making a program.

@mike230 People are saying my legs are bigger but when I compare my thigh measurements from a year back to now, they're actually smaller now (56-57.4cm vs 56-56.5cm now). I think it could be lighting, the different boxer I had on, or maybe I was flexing in one and not the other, I'm really not...

@dawn16 The split is run as Push Legs Pull Underdog, repeat. So there are 2 Underdog days every 8 days, there are 4 sets for calves on each Underdog day, so that's 8 sets over 8 days. I don't agree with this (at least for myself), I did compounds for over a year while having arms as an...

@johnc101 Ok gotchu, so just continue the lean bulk but stop at a much higher body weight. Yea that seems to be the consensus here, thanks!

@dawn16 I do have calves, are you saying I need more? By doing this arm is heavily neglected and treated as an after-thought, which my program attempts to correct. Do you have any sound reasoning for what you're suggesting this or is it just because it's how PPL is "supposed to be"...

@johnc101 Yea, perhaps I respond better with a more aggressive bulk, cut cycle. And yes after all the comments I think the consensus is that I need to put on more weight, which honestly I'm not afraid to do, so I'll give that a go. I'm just not sure whether I should continue my lean bulk, or do...

@johnc101 I've always weighed in less than what people would think. Idk if doing a relative comparison like that is a good idea. If you just look in absolutes, judging from my physique at 158lbs, I was around 11-12% bf I'd say? That's not too crazy for an end of a cut/start of a bulk right...

@mm1992 I see, so you only have 2 exercises for chest and back per session? How many sets is that? And no vertical press?

@mm1992 I'm considering it, the only thing was that when I briefly ran Arnold split, I found the chest/back day to be very fatiguing. What are your thoughts on that? I'm thinking of maybe moving some chest exercises to arm day to address that

@dawn16 Thanks for the kind words bro. Like you said I just built my own custom PPL split and I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. Also, I do watch all those channels and I was actually watching a video by Basement Bodybuilding when I saw your comment :)

@katiebug22 I have, and in fact when I first started lifting I was dirty perma bulking so I'm no stranger to that. It's just that the cut after the aggressive bulk is very painful and pretty much everyone recommends a lean bulk to not put on excess fat. I'm not sure if my lack of meaningful...
