well i put on some remarks about bulking a few days ago. im trying to bulk at 2100-2500 cals. im taking creatine, my weight started at 127, its been a little over 2 weeks, im about 131 now. can this be all due to water weight or should i be excited about muscle mass cause i know that takes a while! im not doing much cardio except maybe one ortwo days but starting the 25th ill be running every morning because i have to for the army. but i feel stronger lifting even within this short two week time. i know im gonna have to bulk longer to see significant gains but should i just stick to a 2500 cal mark when i start running everyday. my daily diet is like this..
(i have to guesstimate cals, im pretty good at it by now..i used to weigh everything)
breakfast-scrambled eggs w/salsa,2 slices wheat bread, oatmeal, about 2 tblspn of pb (not natural cause its not available)..occasional fruit
lunch-3 slices of deli turkey with baby spinach leaves, olive oil,occasional fruit, cottage cheese sometimes w/pb or mix nuts
dinner-usually same as lunch, sometimes fish instead of turkey
snacks-i will have 2 meal replacement as my pwo meal, 440 cals,60g protein, 50carbs,6g fat..(its the best i can do)
sometimes ill have a protein bar/meal bar if i didnt reach my cals for the day and i get the chance or another meal replacement or a pb sandwhich or peanuts.
typically i am about 2100-2600 cals, 190-250g carbs, 50-100g fat, 130-210g protein (all depends on the day)
im doing a workout as follows..
day 1-bis/back,forearms
day 2-tris/chest,shoulders
day 3-legs
repeat for day 4-6
day 7-rest
mix in abs and occasionally cardio (trying to minimize it due to bulking and i will be running ALOT very soon)
i do about 2-4 exercises per body part, 5-8 reps at heavy weight for 4-5 sets. my rests are from 1-2 minutes and i work out about 40-70 minutes depending on the time available and workout.
im worried because i dont typically feel sore after my workouts, sometimes i do..yet im lifting heavy & hard. i sometimes even manage to need a spotter on my last rep.so i know im lifting heavy..but im limited to a 45lb bar with plates, usually no dumbbells, and a couple other random bars which idk how heavy they are.
i really want to compete come about 2 years from now, any input on getting there.im 100% motivated and once i get out of my army training i can fully focus on my diet which i know needs work but is it doable to gain good muscle? i want to try to get to 135 but i dont want to gain too fast.once i start running itll get harder.
also any body fat guesses and body type guesses, i feel like im a mesomorph but idk, any recommendations specific to body type.
thanks in advance, ps. any input is great, it gives me something to do..i cant get online much so i live for the forums when i can, and have to read the same muscle mags over and over ha..but thanks
i love this site and the educated females who have really educated me!
