My Bulking Journal

[Luski16]

Ok hello everyone. I saw everyone keeping track of themselves here in the journal section so i figured i would give it a shot. First off im 5'3'' and only weigh about 87 lbs (at the beginning of this week) and im 15 years old. I dont know my bodyfat although im sure its quite low. Anyways ive been lifting for about 3 months now and have gained only 4 lbs since the start. After getting dissapointed and wanting to just give up I found this site and it has helped a great deal. I've also now come up with a bulking diet that hopefully makes me gain a good pound a week. I'm gonna try to keep it to only a pound a week so its mostly muscle i'm gaining. Anyways here's my current bulking diet:

Lifting Days:

8:00 - 1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop ON whey, 1 cup skim milk

10:00 - Work Out

11:00 - 1 scoop ON whey, 3/4 scoop gatorade powder

12:00 - 3 ounces tuna, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp fat free mayo, 1/4 cup (dry measure ) brown rice

3:00 - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

6:00 - 6-8 ounce chicken breast, 1/4 cup (dry measure) brown rice, 1 cup broccoli

9:00 - 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter

Totals - 2000 calories / 180 protein / 231 carbs / 42.5 fat


Off Days:

9:00 - 1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop ON whey, 1 cup skim milk

12:00 - 6-8 ounce chicken breast, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

3:00 - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 3 ounces tuna, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp fat free mayo

6:00 - 6-8 ounce chicken breast, 1/4 cup (dry measure) brown rice, 1 cup broccoli

9:00 - 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 tbsp peanut butter

Totals - 1820 calories / 186 protein / 183 carbs / 41 fat

i keep my diet relatively the same. It does get kinda boring, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Well thats all for today. I will post how my workout goes tommorow.

lusk, for someone as tiny as you to gain 4 pounds in 3 months is actually a great accomplishment. congratulations, you must be doing something right. also enjoy it while you can. unless you have extremely rare genetics you will never gain that fast again. there is no need for your workout to be boring. it should be just the opposite. i suggest you post it and see if it can be made more exciting and more effective.

p.s. - holy s---! lusk, did you really bench 120 pounds? are you female? do you know this is the female section? explain please.
