Bodybuilding Truth?

Damn I couldn't find it for free. I found it interesting regardless. In terms of the 20 min component I didn't find it to be for the lazy. It's just more about efficiency. That's what it seems at least but I've only done the shoulder routine and I thought it was good. I still have to try everything else. Plus everyone has their own "truths" about bodybuilding in general so more information is always welcome in my book. It's not a waste of time just another bodybuilder who thinks he "knows" a constant about bodybuilding just like the thousands of guys and gals who come here. But this is what keeps everyone talking so that's great for everyone.
M, 24, 6'1, 200, 10% BF. Bulking right now. Lifting for a few years, seriously for 2 years. Started at 175-180 lbs. I eat clean. No garbage. I get the majority of my protein from red meat and milk. I just started a creatine mono but its making me very bloated so I don't know if I'm going to continue. I'm also taking Bev. International Glutamine Select with BCAAs during my workouts with a scoops of Gatorade. Multivitamin in the morning of course and Muscle Milk for additional protein to hit my 200g+ of protein a day. No steroids. I'm just progressing along making gains by lifting heavy and consistently. I also change my workouts monthly to make sure my body keeps guessing but all the staples remain (Barbell rows, Benches, Squats, Deadlifts,...). Also I think his section on diet relates to the point that we are all limited by nature. Some of us have advantages!! He does say something ridiculous about people in prison getting built while eating garbage. Of course guys in prison in MOVIES are built but I've never seen people in jail that I thought to myself "Gee I want to look like that guy."

Few things I want to comment about, forgive me for chewing your ear off.
First thing, I would perfect your diet. That book was 100% wrong when it said that diet doesn't matter. Any person on these forums will tell you, both aspects of bodybuilding(lifting and diet) are both 100% important.
Since you didn't list a calorie intake or macro, I'm going to assume you don't have a strict diet. You should be eating around 3600 calories a day. For bulking that puts you at about 360 grams of protein, 360 grams of carbs and 80 grams of fat a day.
And since you are bulking, I suggest focusing on the compound lifts. Starrs 5x5 intermediate would be my suggestion. Focusing on the compounds is the best way to put on mass.
