Hey all, i have been training for 14 months with around 3 months break overall. i have decided i am on a quest for mass,

currently i am 6ft 2, approx 89kg and 12-13% bodyfat, waist 36'', i am aiming to get my weight to over 100kg and then cut back to a six pack for next summer. hoping i end up 95kg around 10% bodyfat or less.

    i am still fine tuning my diet but i am expecting to be 200-400 calories above maintenance daily. the maths for me is as follows:

    BMr = 2450
    calorie surplus: 200-400
    exercise: 350 per weight training session, 600 on cardio day.

    3000-3200 calories on gym days, 3400 on cardio day, 2650 on rest days.

    just so everyone knows my job is completely sedentary so it why my calories are low.

    another good days of eating i think, ate around 400 calories over maintenance. only thing that is worrying me a little is the fact i seem to have dropped another 0.5kg making it 1kg drop from my dieting weight last friday to today, the only thing i can think of is that because i am now eating clean i am dropping off excess water and maybe due to the excessive milk/yogurt intake its cleaning my bowels out a bit, what do you think?

    ready to smash the gym at 12 woohoo! back primary and shoulders secondary today!
