Hi Chad, great results! What was your total calorie need for the day and how many calories above your need were you eating? I need to bulk like you did, but I want to avoid big fat gains or my face becoming round and bloated.
I have another question: how much weight were you using with the exercises? What’s the most you have used when doing P90X? I’m trying to figure out how many plates for my dumbbells I need to buy to complete the program.

Thanks!

Hey Chad,
Sweet results bro!!!! I’m just curious though, I know you said you were taking in roughly 4000 calories but what were your macro nutrient ratios?

@Rabih: He’s an ectomorph (hard gainer). His body type/genetics allow him to have to eat more to gain muscle mass.

how to you get a six pack when putting on 4000 calories a day, because i look like how you were when you were going to college and I’m trying to put on a little mass and still get a six pack but i can’t and I’m currently on a weight gainer

5’8 138
