Hahaha. Spend two thirds of your salary on protein and barbell like a madman and you'll be in tight black Armani tops in no time lid. Bouncing round the ASDA with a crazed look in your eye that makes people step out of the way of you. King of the f*cking werld.

Eat, eat a lot. Get as many meals in a day as you can inc. protein drinks, eat as clean as possible, do your carb loaded meals in the earlier part of the day, eat lean in the evening. Vary your workout to maintain interest but always with a view to increasing the weight. Also don't forget your legs. Squats - king of exercises (personally I'm **** at them due to 'dry knees')
I promise I don't mean this in an offensive way, but that has to be the worst diet advice I've ever read. Eat your carbs post workout, avoid them in the morning unless you plan on being fat and tired.
Dry knees? Is this a medical condition?
If you want to get big, dbol and milk. If you don't want to do gear, vary your workouts by having a strength building phase, followed by a hypertrophy phase. The strength phase should be reletively short, four to eight weeks tops. Hypertrophy phase should be longer, two to three months, longer if the weight on the bar is still going up.
Learn the front squat first, spend a few months on it before you even think about introducing the back squat. You'll get the added benefit of it strengthening your upset back too. Hack squats are very good if you are a bodybuilder, but avoid smith machine squats like the plague, hard on the knees, and anyone who does them risks serious injury.
Forget training your arms, they grow in relation to your body weight, which is why you'll never see a 9 stone guy with 20" biceps no matter how much he trains them. Spend your time doing pressing, rowing, and chining/pull down type movements.

Maddison and I beg to differ re: diet, what works for one may not work for another. I'm taking peptides & gh so tend to need my carb loading in the morning as my body craves for food and energy, also I workout at lunchtime generally. I will take additional carbs pre and during workout and if I do additional cardio in the evening but always, always protein post workout
Check out websites like professionalmuscle and uk.muscle, they have lots of advice including recipes, dietary advice too.
Regards exercising, there are fads, I note that fellow Brits in the gym tend to go with old school type exercises like the front squat, worldwide the 5x5 stronglifts seems to be more popular than before. Again these sites are good for advice in that regard as I said I vary it in order to maintain interest and agitate my body.

You're obviously going to crave carbs if your'e taking GHRP 2 or 6, context switching isn't going to suddenly give your original comment more validity. I'm aware of both sites, my training partner mods on one of them I think.
You really don't need to do a pre work out carb spike, there's no point, your glycogen stores simply don't replenish like that. Swigging something sweet during work outs is fine, post work out is better. If you're a carb junkie and your training in the morning or mid day, then of course your'e going to shove some carbs in in the morning, hopefully the night before too, and switch it in the evening. You're giving specific advice, when most people are training in the evening.
5x5 gains traction because people who know nothing about training suddenly come across it and think, wow it's amazing! It's fine, it has it's place, but typically it's more of a beginners type programme. You do occasionally come across lifters who use it later on, sandwiched between other training protocols as a macro cycle, and swear by it, but they tend to be in a minority. It's a strength programme that concentrates on thickening the fibres through myofibril hypertrophy, specifically in those who have poor neurological efficiency. For a powerlifter, it's meant to be graduated from as a lifter becomes more intermediate. For a body builder, who never really gains a massive amount of neurological efficiency, it is a good break from the more endurance based rep range that concentrates on sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and lets the muscle fibres thicken, while also giving the fibres chance to heal and recover more fully, a change is as good as a break etc.
If you're going to learn anything about training you're going to need to do a little bit more than frequent a few sites and grab a few routines off the net though I'm afraid. A good core text is the science and practice of strength training by Vladimir Zatsiorsky and William Kraemer. Mel stiffs book is also a good book, although hypocritically I've skipped that one my self. If you want the book, i'll send you a pdf copy. Again genuinely not trying to come across as anything but helpful here.
Once you gain a good understanding of how muscles fire, what stimuli they respond to, and more importantly why, you'll quickly grasp why routines are programmed a certain way. And it has nothing to do with maintaining an interest and keeping your body agitated. Different sports require different types of training, which is why weightlifting is different to powerlifting, and powerlifting is different to bodybuilding. The two former disciples would use micro cycles, or blocks of training, as part of a longer macro cycle. Bodybuilding, with the exception of guys who are on AAS and compete, don't tend to do this.
A drug free/ clean body builder is going to need to do something a tad different if he/ she isn't going to use AAS because they won't have the benefits of increase leverage, recovery, and extra test in the system to bump that strength up. Putting a plan together based around different micro cycles of training, strength training to give you what you're not getting by not taking AAS, and hypertrophy training to build your muscles. As a drug free lifter, you're really going to struggle to put more than 15-20lbs of muscle on (muscle not weight) in your lifetime, unless you're ridiculously lucky with your genetics.
I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're in your teens or early twenties, you really don't need peptides, your body is bathing in Growth Hormone as it is. If you're mid to late twenties onwards, then fine fair enough.
By the way, there's nothing old school about a front squat. That is a truly bizarre thing to say.

If it makes you feel any better I tried taking the madd to task on something over training.
I quickly realised I was miles out of my depth and retreated sharpish.

Pretty simple really
Work out your TDEE
http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html
Eat more than than. Gain weight. Less lose weight
Whether you lose or gain fat depends upon how much Protein you eat and how much resistance training you do.

Did a quick 75km spin this morning before the other half got back from her night shift. Reckon that burnt around 1800 calories so should give me a bit of grace today.

Hi lads WTF are you all talking about like? The only part I understood is Bruce cycled About 400 million miles so he can quaff some quail eggs and a 10 year old Pinot.
