I feel good getting sleep tho

Off from valet Fri/Sat so I'll get a workout in sometime then

[IK9]

I told you guys I'll tell you if & when. I'm an honest person so I won't be one of those fakes.

Going to the dark side starting May 1st & competing in NPC prolly in October this year

Gonna keep pretty hush about it tho especially on ********, etc.

Haven't talked to the girlfriend about it but I live with her so yeah

I still have time to back out of my decision but I prolly won't

Lastly, I will not be counting macros or following IIFYM. I will be bro dieting.

My log will just consist of my daily diet & training.

Gonna eat bro from now on.. If I mess up a meal, I'll get back on track on the very next meal & not feel bad about it.

[jpfaherty]

What do you think you'll bulk up to? Should see some strength gains rather quick with the added kcals!

Watching Hidetada train in same gym = instant gains

That's pretty cool man

Enjoy the extra calories!

[Bnizzle163]

Believe it or not, that last meal looked incredibly delicious. I love anything rice + black beans.

[Bnizzle163]

It's hard to tell from the video, but you don't look "fat" at all. You simply need to add some more lean mass to your frame, and you'll be good to go! The next few months should bring some progress .
