Cycling is not gonna help your goals of getting a bigger body. Sorry to disappoint you, but heavy cycling(you said you were an avid cyclist, LOL, anyone catch that?) will undermine your goals of getting a bigger upper body. Endurance type activities are the worst thing you can do if you want real muscular size. If you absolutely have to cycle, then do short, intense sprints for less than 30 minutes after warmup, no long distance rides. Then stop and get a good post workout recovery drink with whey protein and mix it with lowfat milk, L-glutamine and creatine and take it 30 minutes or sooner after your workouts. Try to get 50 grams protein and 75 or more grams carbs. Don't do the sprints more than twice a week. Most of these guys know what they're talking about here for the most part. TRain your legs. Heavy cycling doesn't count for leg training. The body likes to maintain a certain amount of balance between the upper body and lower body for the most part and building up your legs will only help build your upperbody. Heavy parallel squats are probably your best bet. 5x5 is a good set plan. You can either do some warmups sets and then do all 5 sets with the same weight, or increase the weight each set until you reach your max weight for 5 reps on the 5th set. When you can do all 5 sets of 5 reps, add 5lbs. Simple and effective. Increase you calories per day by 500 to start and make sure that comes mostly from protein and complex carbs. If you ask guys about what roids to take when you are an obvious inexperienced lifter, you are gonna get the same response, " learn more, train harder, train the WHOLE body, EAT and SLEEP more. When you say it si virtually impossible for you to gain more weight it shows you have no clue. Personally, bulking up imho is VERY easy. Eat more total calories than you normally do by ingesting more quality protein, complex carbs and EFA's. If you aren't gaining weight by at least half a pound a week, then increaswe the calories by another 100 per day for the week. REpeat until you start gaining and monitor you weight gain progress. WAtch your midsection for to rapid gaining because you want to gain muscle, not fat. When you get your priorities, training, ad diet in order, then maybe try some prohormone cycles if that is your bag and if you do, be responsible and serious about it, and research it. Then after that after you have gained alot and learned alot which you should, then maybe use roids, but again, be serious about it. I have never used roids and I am on my first prohormone cycle with 1-AD and I am serious about it and treat it with respect. Prohormones and especially pro-steroids and straight up steroids are no joke and need to be treated with the proper respect. You don't just go HEY YO! I want the strongest stuff out there so I can make the most extreme gains. That is dumb. Crawl before you walk. Sit before you crawl. Lay before you sit. See what I'm saying? Baby steps.
P.S. Not trying to sound like a know it all especially since I am new to EF forums, but I like to give a decent amount of info to people rather than short or terse answers. Call me long-winded.
