I work hard on them but its hard for me to build. Sucks. I'm making gains everywhere else but my calves.

I added a weight gainer to my diet. I'm making gains but the calves are a hassle. Genetics are a *****!!

I don't think the weight gainer is gonna go straight to your calves.

Doesn't look like you gained much fat at all

I actually dropped 4%, clean bulking is the way to go IMO, if you're patient. Gains are much slower though.

Typical breakfast- 1 whole egg, 4 egg whites, turkey bacon
Typical lunch- Chipotle or Moes bowl w/ double meat (chicken), black beans, brown rice, guac, tobacco, corn salsa, pico, cheese
Dinner- fish (trout, tilapia, salmon) or grilled chicken with brown rice, broccoli or spinach.
2 protein shakes a day, BCAA's, and fish oil.
Eliminated all grains, sugar, and alcohol (which was difficult). Also had sashimi twice a week for dinner.

I was about to ask you about breads but I saw the grains part. I think bread is the hardest thing for me. I've been substituting white bread for wheat. I thought wheat bread was good for you?

Great progress man. You've built a good base going forward.

How many calories a day were you taking in?

The clean bulk where you lose 4% and gain 13 lbs becomes a lot more difficult once you've trained for a while though. I agree though - for novice lifters, there's no need to go wild on the bulking right off the bat.

Just strictly speaking from a body composition stand point, it would be incredibly hard to gain weight and lose body fat if you're already in pretty good shape.

Awesome progress, man
Right now I'm pretty close to your before picture. I didn't start out with much so I've put on some muscle and strength especially in my chest and triceps. I'm actually trying to cut though at about the same calories you're eating. I'm 6'1 216 right now with a BF% in the high teens and I want to get to about 180 or so by spring/summer or whatever weight I'm at with 10-12% BF.

I think the best kind of bulk is a lean bulk. You gain size and minimal body fat. I think some people overdo the whole bulking thing and end up getting way too much extra bf. Then they have to waste a lot more time losing it.
