*** The Tmisc Winter Bulk Competition/Progress Thread ***

[iAmMan]

I am in. I will post up all pics and stats this weekend. Im 21 next summer. So needing a bit of mass on me by then. Im 5"10...just :P And weighed in at 163lbs at heaviest ever, about a month ago....id say im down around 160lbs right now. Im a skinny fat. But bulking upto 180lbs by end of Febuary(5 lbs a month) then cut down to 170lbs by April....this do able?? Or what is a better target...anyone?

Only you can determine what is possible or not by your actions and how much you put into this. I can honestly its very unpredictable, thats why I won't make an opinion on this, everything's up to you brah. You can sit at home play games or do w.e, or you can get swole as fuuuarrrrkk..

I'll put you in.

In. I recommend that you have contenders post their workouts in here sort of like a community workout log or else the contest will die.

My stats right now are:
145x8 bench press
200x12 squat
275x8 deadlift

5'11" 162lbs.

I'm not sure what you mean by front/back/side pose. Any of the front/back/side poses?? Or a relaxed? Or what.

Could be any. Front Double Bi, Back Double Bi, and Side Tricep... Any combination you like, aslong as you make the same poses at the end of the bulk.

I'll put you in, and I'll just put "Waiting for Pics"

fair point. i'll post some workouts in here. probably not all, so it doesn't get too cluttered. but we need to keep this thing bumped

I REALLY advocate them just logging their workouts in THIS thread. If the thread isn't bumped constantly, the contest will die.

Thats a good idea, we should have each contestant make a log in the teen log section and then make a thread with all the links to the logs for the contest in it. But that would require a lot more work than I am sure many of the contestants are wanting to put in.

Well I want everything to revolve around 1 thread, I mean the user can keep the journal to himself or on the site, thats really not the point. The important thing is that he posts some monthly Updates, some PR's, or if he had a great workout today, or if he needs advice on a certain exercise/body part/nutrition.

everyone should contribute a little bit to the thread so we ALL help each other out.

Its a competition, but its also something we are doing as a team to help improve.

Or we should just try and get the summer contest thread unstickied and this thread stickied.

This is a good idea, then we don't have to search 3-4 pages to find this thread, plus it already has 30 members almost...

Umm so is it alright if i do both winter competitions?
cuz im a team leader on the other one...
is this individual or team?

It doesn't matter, you can be in this also.

Count me in. Need some extra incentive to start lifting more consistently + sort out my diet

Got you in bro, best of wishes to you

Post pre-comp pics, lift weights, update us monthly, and post results.

not very hard.


You can post the VIDEO if you want, that pretty optional after giving some thoughts.

[fitnessfreak6]

I'm in then. 15. bulk started when I was 73lbs in April. In the middle of the bulk. Right now I weigh 90lbs. Planning to gain 8 lbs more till the end of Dec.

[Taylor.Wilson]

count me in brah!

[Ballad]

Got measurements today! Will get pics as soon as I have house to self so I don't get questioned why I'm taking half-naked pics.

Thinking I might need to adjust my goal, my official bulk will probably start on the 14th since we're going on vacation and I'm not sure if there'll be a reasonable gym there. I don't wanna gain weight that week since I won't really be tearing myself up.

So I figure I'll have 14 weeks to bulk... since I've never truly bulked before do you brahs think I can get away with 1.5 lbs/week and set my goal at 183? Maybe I'll just go for 180. Because of my lifestyle I'm apparently gonna have to eat pretty much right at 4k calories/day to hit 180 by March 1 :P

I think if you can maintain gaining at a steady 1.5lbs/week, you will have great progress. Taking a week off while on vacation is a good idea, it will be good to be well rested before starting off your bulk.

[KLOMPUS]

this is my first time taking pics. how do you guys do it?

[TN42]

I have my mom or brother do it when I'm at home. Just strike the pose and have someone else take a picture for you.

[iAmMan]

getting alot of PM's guys and I really cant do much other than just write down everyone until i can edit this thread again. kinda pissing me off how the mods actually dont even care, well i shouldnt say that, I am sure alot of them have families, jobs, and are busy.

[Ballad]

Alright bros here we go no laughing





5'10 162 never got a clear consensus on bf% but general range was 17%

Chest 39.3 arms 12.5 hips 38.7 waist 31 thighs 21 calves 14.2 forearms 10 shoulders 42.8 neck 14.5

Estimated 1rms:

bench 139 (100x11)
squat 157 (135x6)
deadlift 222 (185x7)
rows 134 (100x10)
press 81 (60x10)
curl 67 (50x10)

goal weight 1.5 lbs/week = ~183 by March 1, want to least 180

[_oscars]

Since i havent been able to lift heavy lately for a variety of reasons (small back injury, next week got stitches, sick next week) my lifts went down a bit but ill pick them back up soon.
bench - 145
squat - 170
deadlift - 225
:/
pics l8r

[iAmMan]

Thanks Ballad, you have a solid base to begin with, you will do great this year. Also _oscars ill put that in, thansk buddy


Ill post an updated list of whos in, then ill ask a mod to edit the thread.

Thanks brah! I hope so. I'm gonna give it all I can

[Rowbro]

In in in!!! Hoping to win this srs, I think I can with the proper training. Will also be doing indoor rowing workouts, hopefully that doesn't interfere with a bulk. Current weight (after eating a good bit today) is 214.3ish, gonna round down to 213. Pics will come within a week, gotta find good lighting. Hopefully I'll be able to gain a lot off strength while maintaining bf % because of the intense rowing cardio. Looking forward to huge squat PR's now. Tbh I really don't wanna gain more than 10 pounds, 225 is an awesome goal for me to hit but being too heavy is bad for rowing and I don't wanna sacrifice my speed on the water. However winter season = land training only so perhaps I'll bulk to 225+, I'm not sure yet.

Best stats:
Squat: 235x4
Bent over row (pendlay style): 175x5
Deadlift: 255x5(maybe 75 really can't remember but don't want to e-stat... was just for fun anyway and I don't DL... true 5 rep max is probably nearer to 285)
Bench: 175x4 *I don't bench currently so ignore this lift plz *
Standing OH press: 140x5

Now taking into account getting really sick with shingles and sick twice after that:

Current stats:
Squat: 220x5
Bent over row: 155x8 - this is not my true max I can likely still do 170/75x5
Standing OH press: 135x6 - will try for Monday 140x5 PR

^those are the only 3 lifts I do regularly so base results off that. Hoping for over 350x5 squat by March/april, 185x5 OH press, 225x5 bent over row... 185 snatch would be cool

Misc lifts:
Barbell curls: 95x8
Power clean: 155x3 - at least, can do more
Snatch: 135x1 - at least, may be able to do more reps/weight but didn't attempt it

GL to all in the competition, hope your bulks go well.

[KLOMPUS]

Weighed in at about 196 today right after i got up. also figured i'd post some of my stats right now/goals for after bulk. Basically November 1st to March 1st

Weight: 196/215
Weighted Dips: bw+30x6/ bw+60x6
Barbell Row: roughly 205/245
DB Overhead Press: 60s x6/75s x6
Squat: 275 (yes ****ty, i know)
Deadlift: 315 (yes ****ty, i know)
Barbell Curl: 95x1/ 125x1
Leg Press: roughly 450/ 650 (i used to be able to leg press like 750, with decent form i might add, i thought leg press=squats so that's all i did pretty much)

there are my disappointing stats, but the goals are all i really care about

[DROPthatCLUTCH]

We should get this started earlier. 15th or something.

[cowmooolester93]

If I can get the money up for my gym membership by then (I should.) then I'l be in it no prob.
