What is a good diet plan that will help me reach those goals? I'm a meso-ecto but I gain pretty easily when consistent. I'm looking to get the super-ripped appearance and perhaps do some competition. I haven't done any supplements. -------------- -always wanting more often gets in the way of living for anything at all-

I tried for a while, I always thought that I was different and that didn't apply to me. Guess what, I wasted about a year and had nothing to show for it. Strength went up a little, not much more muscle, not much less fat. I'd have been better off doing one and then the other as I am now. Think about it, you'll be happier faster if you bulk now and then cut going into summer.

How most magazines and ads con you with this impression is by manipulating percentage numbers. If you think about it, the process requires 2 drastically different diets. That is higher caloric intake for gaining mass(thus more muscle), and lower caloric intake for losing fat. However, a 'blend' of the 2 may be ideal, if you do not expect fast results. This is tedious though for most folks and they lose patience with it, as it is a long affair with seemingly little gains either way for long periods of time. This would involve a no cheat diet, just above maintenance calories. No more. Or this worked well for me, but again tedious as you never want to give up making gains either way. Goes like this, 8 weeks on a gain diet. Then 2-3 weeks on a leaning diet. Then back to the gain diet, etc. Revise your times as you see fit to reach each of your predertimened goals. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
