Notes
Ah wide wide pull-ups!! Like about as wide as I can go yay! Decided to drop the weight (haven't I put on enough anyway) and work on widening...yowzers.
Those wide t-bars were killer too!
Yeah workout on paper might not look too special but I'm beat!
And fat weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I think I'll be taking the rest of the week to stick at 2500cals then I'm done. I think I've put up with this flubz about as long as I can lulz. Today I was getting into the shower and was pointing out my belly from the side (to Hubz) and I laughed at it. He said it wasn't that bad but I pointed out how "thick" my waist has gotten and he was all "wellllll...yeahhhhh" hahahaha! Anyway yeah see what Friday's scale day brings then drop, what, 250 cals to try and stop gaining? Up cardio a bit? Clueless over here...

I think I'm gonna nap. Figure my 20 minute nap is still better than spending 2 hours at the gym during school time

[-H-]

Nice workout.
Once you cut you will probably be able to do crazy amounts of pull ups since you are already doing weighted ones!

[Redfizz]

You all are totally inspiring a paradigm shift for me. I am learning that it's not the end of the world if there's a little pudge from time to time, because it can be taken care of with the right behavior.

Your husband's response was cute when it came to your belly.

[RyouBakua]

ive always said you do good pullups

not many can do all those in a row



and theres nothing wrong with a renaissance body

I hope so! Sheesh! There's motivation to cut 10# right there lol.

Oh Red this has been a big eye opening experience for me for sure. When I came to this site I didn't really know the eat big lift big thing. I didn't know *I* could put on 20 pounds and not be pretty durn fat. I for sure wouldn't have thought I'd be one bulking...I thought I'd cut and just maintain! Bulking is way more fun and I'll probably do it again And you're right...I'm not afraid because 1)I KNOW I did this right 2)It'll come off with ease because of #1.

ive always said you do good pullups

not many can do all those in a row

RB you know I don't like to be like everyone else
I will not so secretly admit I enjoy being able to even do them...always an audience.

Hey there welcome to Phrazy Land where I get up a 3am a few times a week Luckily a 15-20 minute nap cures me if I need it.
And thanks!

I am imagining the first class hotel as a scene from HOSTEL... Did your coworker come back with all of her parts?

[gobbles23]

NICE pull-ups P! Wow!

If I were you I'd eat ~2200 for a week or so, then ~2000 for a while, and then assess! Slow drops are good! I'd keep your training the same for as long as you can recover from it!

[pharty]

haha what foam body Are you trying to say you look like that?! Not even close.

I googled and that was about the only image without nudity!

Yeah I really really want to keep my durn strength up! I have until the end of May to wear a bikini again (wait Spring Break is end of March! blerg!)...regardless it's not like I "have" to be lean lean soon anyway. I know I benched 135 for 1-2 at the beginning of the bulk so maybe it'll stick around a while...


In other news pics like this make me think I need to bulk for 2 years!


I was taking the pic because I was WTFing at the two leg extension machines being ON TOP of each other then that big space on the left of the pic. Stoopid.
I'm cuter than that^^ P.S.

[Boomer29]

Scoot the machine over with your RAWR muscles.

[mmater]

What up P!!!!! I'm surprised you could barely fit between those two machines with all your muskles and, um, hair done did like that. haha. Must have been a bench day. lol.

I figured I'd end up injured.

Dude I even looked in the mirror like "does my hair really look like that?" and no...no it did not lol!

[jjeane]

Bulking looks good on P!

[-H-]

Bulking *does* look good on P! Arms! Quads!
Very cool. Makes me excited to do it in a few months. Slow and steady and all.
Foam body= scurrrrry.

[stephanielynn76]

Yay for bulking! You are right it is definitely much more fun! I've got 3 more weeks of this madness... then Disney... then I start the cut. I'm both ready and not ready. I am not looking forward to embracing the hunger but I am really curious about what's under here!

You look great!!! I, too, am amazed that I could gain 20lbs + and not be "fat." I've been enjoying the strength gains too and I'm concerned about losing them when I cut. Perhaps I'll manage to get the wheels up on my next bulk!

[thehobbes]

Successful bulk was successfull! Crazy pullups der. Mirin' your pic with a BMF on dat arm. BRB buying stock in that co, like 10 people in our lil group got hooked on that thing in the last 2 months! As for cutting IMHO once you think that BMF is pretty accurate for you then just use that, go 500 under (or whatever number you want to.) I wouldn't 100% depend on extra cardio, but no problem doing a little more and being able to eat a little more sometimes.

Should have bench pressed machine out of the way with your pinky finger while drinking protein shake in other hand.

[llahhsoj]

Looking solid in the picture P.

[squeaks77]

Been MIA out of state for new job and now trying to catch up on journals. I've missed like 10 pages of yours, lol. I see you got a BMF. Excited to see how it works for you!

Yeah I'm the same with ready and not ready. If I could just suck the fat off the icky places I'd be good to go!
I want to keep my wheels

Whoohoo whoduh thunk P could bulk?!?!

Crazy pullups der.

Thanks! I kinda still hate them

I've grown to love that BMF! Not weird on my arm like I thought it might be
Cutting...I'll probably up cardio a smidge simply because I want to try and get back to a little more running. Like to bust out a 5k with ease in stead of huffin' and puffin'.

Pinky is strong.

I'm excited to see how it works with my cut! BRB not going crazy over losing the fatz!

Notes
Trying to fit stuff in so I can sleep in again this weekend
BMF from this morning alone:
Possible? It's been close to that the last 3 days/workouts...



Interesting...did that whole "past 7 days thing" on the BMF now that I've had it a full 7 days

Daily Average Burn=2940
Calories Consmed=2662
Calorie Balance=278 Deficit
Physical Activity=5:09
Steps=8k
Sleep=7:35 90% efficiency (helped by weekend of sleeping in)

[-H-]

30's on the DB shoulder press = nice!
Hmm not sure how to read that thing.
Not much sleep though! Is that your nightly average??
Thought of you when I got up at 4:35 today-- that is my new every day wake time. No more of this 5:08 and missing cardio, lol.....
Have a good day!

[BubsNBean]

I just want to say that everyone in here makes me want to do a bulk after the summer. Yeah, I don't want to bulk before that, vanity issues

It's nice to see that just because you bulk doesn't mean you'll get "fat"... I tell myself this everyday, "Trust the process".... I'm workin' on it!

[RyouBakua]

love the press/lateral work


tons of exercises in this one. call it a body good

[gobbles23]

Sick workout P! O.H presses 15 times with the 30's is awesome!

I haven't DB pressed in ages!
Ugh last night's sleep...not good. Was "lying down" for 5:45 but only slept for 5 I'm good with about 6, honestly.
4:35 every day???

Hey there yeah trust the process for sure. It took me a bit to get there (that whole Summer thing too) but when I was ready I knew it!

You know was nice to just get 2-ish sets of a bunch of stuff in instead of pounding away at something

Is it? No idea haven't picked those suckers up for OH presses anyway) for a while.

I know, for sure, lol!!
But with you getting up at 3 your average is probably earlier than mine lol.
Ok next time pick up some DB's to bench, too.
That is nice you are good with 6. I am not sure at all cause it doesn't really matter it is out of my hands a lot if I want to get it all in!!

[jjeane]

Pooh Bear P! Very killer arms workout!! Seated press down are nice!

[stephanielynn76]

Killer workout P!!! GJ on the DB presses. Yes girl you need more sleep than that! I struggle with insomnia myself and the exhaustion builds up over time. It's really bad when I need to deload. I am impressed with you gals that get up really early and train. I can't do it. I'm so not a morning person!

Ok... I've gotta get me one of those BFM doohickies. Which one do I want? The "link" or the "core?"

[thehobbes]

^^^Link, I think they call it that cause the other one doesn't connect to your smartphone so you can check it 30x a day.

Whoa awesome shoulder pressing, and look at all dem bw chins! Those are especially tricky when you do em after all that other shiz.

Sounds about right, I think that little bit of cardio you bang out helps out a lot for activity. And you are the only person on this forum who gets less sleep at nigt than I do lol. I just can't bring myself to go to bed at 8 or 9pm.
