That is awesome I would not go any were near gear if you getting gains like that

[poos_n_wees]

Shit, thats awesome!!

I think someone here mentioned that if you're pretty lean to begin with, partitioning is alot better. I don't think there's a definite hard and fast amount of muscle you could gain 'cos its dependant on so many different variables... but what you're doing seems to be working really well, so I'd stick with it.

ive not heard this term partitioning before what do you mean by this?

[poos_n_wees]

From my extremely uneducated view of it lol, its the way your body chooses to utilize extra calories. Does it get stored as fat or utilized for muscle growth? I think genetics plays a big role in how your cals are partitioned too.

It seems to be that the fatter you are, the more fat you gain while bulking and the less muscle you lose dieting. The leaner you are, the less fat you gain while bulking and the more muscle - you're at risk - to lose while dieting.. if that makes sense.

really thats bugger all, bet can lose more then 11lb in mus a year

[The Legend Killer]

Yeah muscle is easier to lose than to gain. 11lbs a year adds up over time though.

its going to take me forever to go from under 70kg class to open weight class then

do you no if theres any shortys like me in open weight?

you definatly dont need gear if your gaining 5kg on a natural bulker in 8 weeks and keeping lean, good work bro!

5'7 is short but that means you need less mass to look big as its all condensed into your small frame so think about that!
