bulk. you have money for extra food and your high calorie burning job will also help put on some muscle if in a surplus. win win. especially if you don't have enough LBM to support a cut anyway.

pot calling the kettle black.

Some people say don't weigh in everyday to help with this, I like to just to have the data. the way I look at it is, weigh every day but only compare weights 7 days apart. so on your examples above,...

Had to come post this and brag a little. Last night, I decided to try 200 lbs to see if I could get it since a few weeks back I tried 190 and hit it fairly easy.

I hit it fairly easily so I loaded...

Don't eat back food you burn. If you said 80% of TDEE is like 2,200 cals, why do I see so many days you're eating above 3,000???
I'm 5'9" and currently weigh 182lbs. While bulking I eat approx....

Wasn't going to post much more but realized after some number crunching that if I subtract my first weigh in, I have actually only been gaining about 0.65 per week. The first week, I'm guessing...

Just thought I'd give an update as I haven't updated since July. Still at it, just didn't feel like logging it was necessary anymore. Started it to keep motivated, don't need it anymore, became more...

Hit heavy day 2x9 last night to get back into the swing of things. Wasn't too bad except for squats, they seemed a little heavier than normal. I did the following:

Squat:
warmup x2, then 2x190lbs...

been mia again for a little while. Have been taking a little bit of vacation and from Thursday last week and up to Sunday, dug and built a koi pond in our side lot.

It was a ton of work. I dug...

Didn't even think of that, might have to give it a try. Not quite sure how it feels though, my biggest thing is that powdery feel. My wife makes fun of me all the time for it and it's hard to explain...

No, this is probably going to sound weird but I have a thing about chalk. I can't stand the feel of it on my hands so I don't use anything.

Because of that I've thought about using straps for...

Well, last night I did my heavy "test" day, I think I was supposed to rest last night and do heavy tonight but oh well, it worked out pretty well I guess.

I did the following:

Squat, hit 2x12...

Not much to report today except I woke up about 15 minutes early today and got a good run/jog/walk in this morning. Got the dog out and ran about a quarter mile, then ran half way back, jogged the...

Been MIA for a little while. Took some vacation from work and that's where I normally update this from. Missed a few workouts this last week due to family stuff that was unavoidable. I did push those...

Figured I'd post another set of comparison photos and then one of the wheels as one finally turned out ok.

Taken today June 8, 2015 (182lbs 18 weeks of bulking)...

As a side note, does anyone know where to buy a fairly cheap but durable "standard" weight lifting bar???? I currently have standard weight plates and don't really want to invest in all new Olympic...

Thanks again, I realized after last nights workout that next week is the final week for this cycle. I'll probably finish it out and then instead of jumping weight up by the recommended 10%, I'll...

That's ok, thanks anyway.

I know and that's kind of why I keep jumping programs. It's supposed to be structured so on Monday you do 2 warmup sets, 1 at 25% of 10 rep max and 1 at 50% 1 rep max,...

Forgot to mention, diet wise has been best it's been all year this last week.

Been hitting 2500+ cals, only once over 2800, and been getting 170-200grams of protein for once. Lots of tuna,...

Getting closer to that 275lb squat.

Last night was light workout and after completing the normal squat weights (35/70/140/140lbs), I was still feeling pretty good and fresh. I decided because of...
