I haven't been to the gym in 4 months. It was a waste of money; I just bought an over-the-door pull up bar and I've seen so much more improvement than spending 2 hours at the gym. I just pick up heavy shit I have at my place and improvise.

pullups are one thing that I need to incorporate.

Do it. One of the best compound movements you can do.

might as well add that onto the day I do back/pulling stuff since I added angles dips already onto the days I do chest/pushing lol

This. Whenever I do an upper body workout I do 3 sets of pull ups (varying the grip each time) and 3 sets of dips as a warm up. It's a great way to get everything moving.

Anyway, I came in here to post that I finally reached my goal weight. I'm now 190 lbs, which brings my stats to 5' 11", 190lbs, around 8-9% bodyfat.

Nice!

I'm still unsure of my BF %. I still want to gain about 10-15lbs of mass to reach my target weight of 140-145 @ 5'6". I've been eating everything in sight for the past 2 months and I've finally gained about 7lbs of mass.

Thanks. And judging by the definition you have around your midsection/chest, I would say that you couldn't have more than 11% body fat.

And I understand how tough it is to pack on mass. It's taken me around 4-5 months to break out of the 180s. Also, do you take any supplements? I've talked about them before and I know a lot of people think they're pointless, but I added a few things to my regime this summer and in combination with my diet I saw great results.

Yeah, I was going to say 10-12% probably. I only take protein powder for supps.

Who makes it? I kinda feel like the whole pre-workout drink is a gimmic/placebo effect, but that still doesn't mean that there aren't shitty ones out there.

Generic shit from Walmart. Body Fortress or whatever.

I used to take Nitrean + for $60 a 4lb, but I haven't seen any difference compared to the generic Walmart shit
