Ooooooooo!!!!!! A bulking thread!!! Woohoo!!!
I'm going the Alan Thrall route.....eat a lot of whole foods (eggs, chicken, beef, pork, rice, peanut butter, ice cream, whole milk, and so on....) and just not track for awhile.
I get so caught up in the numbers that I just go in circles and can never mentally get over 170lbs.... So far so good!
Goal weight: 180-185 for now.
Program: 3-day/wk Main Lift auto regulated and then hitting full body with accessory work.
Ice cream and PB = whole foods?

Okay. Not as upset with my accidental bulk. I just added 25lbs to squat, 45lbs to deadlift (and measly 5lbs to bench) since SEPTEMBER.13

Ugh, I worked away from food for a long time today on top of getting up late and have been trying to cram 2k cals in before bed time. Drank 1k , slowly but surely putting the other 1k down.. Hopefully without incident

This is why the old stereotypical powerlifter see-food permabulk is a thing. Them totals just keep going up. I almost fell into that trap once, but the mirror finally made me cringe. xD0 -

Nice! My bench has also been really slow to increase - around 5 pounds also! All my other lifts I have been able to add at least 5% increases at the scheduled time. I just dropped my rep range for bench from 8-12 down to 6-10 to see if I can sustain another increase. I'll know in a few weeks... I also ordered some industrial size washers on-line to see if they will work out as micro plates.1 -
Okay- so mini cut has commenced- I definitely jumped up in "fluff" this week- I was like- alright- I'm looking good still- and last night- I was like- nope- welcome to fluff town- unfortunately this is smack in the middle of "month three fatty break down" so it's not ideal. I'd prefer to drive through this rather than mini cut- but my performance matters- big names- big different audience- need to look/perform on point. So mini cut it is. - I ate a lot of egg whites last night.

WHY LOLI think I am hitting that 3 month wall that @JoRocka has been talking about. I am starting to think wtf am I doing to myself. I feel fat. I know logically I am not fat. I know logically that a few more pounds and 7 more weeks won't make me enormous. Emotional I have been a little bit of a wreck. I keep arguing with myself to keep going. I set a goal and I should stick with it. Then I start thinking maybe I am just being stubborn and maybe it really is time to quit bulking - I might regret it if I don't stop.
How long does it take you to get through this @JoRocka? This is my first bulk.
The panic for me was a 2-3 week process- after that in to month four I sort of accepted the fatness.
I still had bad days- but they weren't nearly as crippling. Like- my "bad" weeks - are like ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT- vs- "man I feel fat- where's my pizza"
Keep going. You got this- push through till at least month 4- usually once you get into month 4 you can make it another couple weeks- this is EXACTLY why I aim for 4-6- at a minimum I can make 4 months- and then usually push into month 5- but I can just push to month 4 I'll feel like I accomplished what I wanted- then feel better into month 4.
I ate a whole bag (the big bag) of peanut m&m's on sunday.

I still have one of those "share size" bags of coffee and nut m&ms that I picked up to try. Even in a bulk, I can't seem to bring myself to eat them. They've been sitting on my desk for a month now, and every time I look at them, I just immediately "nope".
Yes, there is something wrong with me.
wait- how did I not know about coffee and nut m and m's?!?!?!
WTF?!?! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME!
I would never do such a thing.
I seriously cannot believe I've never heard of this- I'm going to WAWA immediately to find out if I can find some. I need this in my life.0 -

Ack! When is the event? Hopefully dropping a little water weight will help you feel better about the fluff!0 -

next Friday I teach in the evening-and then Saturday night I perform- I can drop 5-8 pounds water weight and look way less fluffy and feel much better about myself so I will. Annoying- but survivable.1 -
Bump- not sure where this got to- but I'm shamelessly bumping.
I dropped calories this week to anything pretty much 2K. I squatted yesterday 185 x 20 - and holy snickers bat man- the lack of calories killed me- I don't know how I did this last year dropping calories at the end of this program. ooofa.
But - pressing on ward and upwards- after Saturday night I'll be back up over 2K- than February I'll be up to close to 2500.0 -

My man- that sounds de-lish!1 -
I am up to 8 pound gain... pretty excited.
My grocery buggy last week was 3 gallons of ice cream, kiddy cereal, whole milk, pop tarts and well.. I did buy the Krispy Cream donuts too. The flexibility in my diet choices made a huge difference.. I am reaching calorie goals, hitting protein and I feel just fine.
Before coming here to post, if you have not seen it, @psuLemon posted a thread earlier today called Bro, do you even eat clean? well my pop tarts are in the video by Dr. Layne Norton and I am very ecstatic about that!
@JoRocka, how are you coming on the diet changes? Good luck this weekend I know you will kill it!

OMG! I forgot about pop tarts! I am currently working through some ice cream and a Costco size container of animal crackers.1 -

@RoxieDawn - what do you mean, "my pop tarts are in the video?" When I read that, my thought is either: you were with him, and those are literally your Pop-Tarts; or you won a new flavor contest, and the Pop-Tarts in the video are the ones you created.0
