Hate to burst your bubble, but that's not going to happen.

This.

[statonburrell]

i'm mostly water weight... it can be done. if i'm not ready in 14 weeks i'll just wait till state.

[statonburrell]

I also gained 15 lbs alone in december by switching my diet from chicken to steak... and I lost body fat.

[Porch Monkey]

Diuretics and potassium. You'll lose weight.

d00d...You may me big and strong and all, but you need to edumucate yourself more on this.

You can reach your bf goal in that time on a GOOD hard cut. But your not going to put on weight at the same time. And your not gaining 15lbs/month of muscle EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[mackin]

15 pounds of muscle in a month is impossible. Even 5 pounds is pushing it.

[Captain Ahab]

natural, not happening.

MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE if you are a noob just starting out and have the perfect diet the first month.

After training for a while, not happening.

[Captain Ahab]

I'm willing to bet you will be 175 or less in contest shape.

[statonburrell]

yeh... i don't wanna go under 180 though... steak has a lot of intra-muscular fat in it... which most likely aided in my scale loss of body fat and gaining of so much weight.

i'm already on a diuretic... drinking gall-gall.5 of water a day. trying to cut back on my milk intake because that helps hold water too...

[statonburrell]

average in just muscle gains alone, naturally is peaking around 15 lbs a year for serious weightlifters.. I know it wasn't all muscle I gained, i'm not an idiot lol.

Your not going to gain 15lbs year/muscle naturally once you have been at it a while. Sorry brah. At first, yeah its very possible. Something called the law of diminishing returns.

You have a lot of learning to do.

Just think of some of the PRO bbers could put on 15lbs a year WITH roids.

10 years and they have put on 150lbs of muscle....

[Captain Ahab]

Post up pics of yourself now.

[statonburrell]

i took em last night... i can't find my micro USB cable, I think I left it at my house.. and i'm at my apartment now...

[statonburrell]

and no doubt you will eventually plateu, it's like a squareroot function... starts off strong and solid, then you'll eventually peak.. hopefully I can get up to 220 naturally that's my goal.

This. Naturally it's a physical impossibility to put on 15lbs of muscle a year.

If you are 195, at 14% BF, you better be damn ready to go under 180, or else go on stage looking like an idiot, whichever you prefer.(And that goes for either show you are planning on doing). With the number you gave, if done properly, you'll be going on stage at about 168-172lbs. You should have started dieting 16 weeks out to do it properly. And take diary, fruits, and breads all out of your diet, NOW!

Also, 1-1.5 gallons of water isn't enough. That's what women drink to get ready for shows(Seriously). You should be drinking roughly a gallon alone while you are working out. You should be taking in 2-3 gallons a day.

average in just muscle gains alone, naturally is peaking around 15 lbs a year for serious weightlifters.. I know it wasn't all muscle I gained, i'm not an idiot lol.

Pro natural bodybuilders are fucking lucky if they put on 10lbs. in a year. And that's if they do everything to an exact tee, hold their tongue just right, and the stars all align perfectly.

All that and you still wont no how to use it

Now if I could just stick to my knowledge 12 months out of the year instead of 7. lol.

[statonburrell]

then I won't do Mr. USC i'll just compete in my teen class at state.

[statonburrell]

my school show wouldn't be hard to win... they all looked bad from the pictures I saw of last year's show.

[Porch Monkey]

Diuretics push out potassium, your body needs that to function! Trust me on this, while using them you need to up your potassium intake. It can be very serious if ignored.

I ignored them and developed an irregular heart rythm and was feeling faint.

Mind over matter, buddy. You are one determined mother fucker. I seriously think you should focus on doing an NPC show. You would do quite well.

then I won't do Mr. USC i'll just compete in my teen class at state.

Still be prepaired to be in the 170lb. range for your state show. Don't worry about what weight you'll come in at. That's the biggest mistake body builders can make. Focus on coming in lean, and proportional. I was the smallest guy in my first show at 149.5lbs. and won, beating guys who were 213lbs.

Very true. I've seen several body builders go on stage and have to be carried off, because they took too much diuretics and cramped up.

BTW, statonburrell, what the hell are you doing taking diuretics at this point in your contest prep anyways? That's plain stupid. If, and that's IF, you absolutely need to take a diuretic, you should only be using them a week or two before the show. Are you prepping yourself, or is someone telling what to do?

[Captain Ahab]

I can tell its his first cut because I had a similar mindset. I thought "At 182lbs, I'll be ripped!" Wrong, haha. You learn so much from the first serious cut!

Makes the ones after so much easier!

very true. I was very fortunate to have some one with a lot of experience help me with my first show as well, or I would have been the one idiot on stage that everyone could tell didn't know what the hell he was doing! There is always one at every show!

[crunk motherfucker]

fucking queers jerkin each other

I know you want in, but you'll have to wait.
