    Gained another lb, but lifts were not up last week. I feel like bulk failed.

    Lifts will not be up every single week. We all have those days. I look for a monthly trend.

    lol. I thought you meant you fell over (like loss of balance). It's fairly common to have good and bad weeks, so I wouldn't stress too much. I would be more concerned if it has been happening for several weeks.

    Also, does your program have deloads programmed in?

    Just watched the vid. It's basically the same thing he's done before. Hit your fiber, protein, and micros. Don't sweat having a treat then.

    My problem is that my "treats" all have a buttload of fiber in them. All the bloats, all the water, much owies, bedroom smells awful.

    you're not supposed to stay in there and steam in it- you drop it and walk out- leave it for someone else to deal with later!

    It's when I'm trying to go to sleep. If I ran away every time I bombed myself, I'd never actually sleep.

    well at this point I gas myself in my sleep- I'm like the dog- sometimes I wake myself up confused as to why I woke up.

    yeah- I'm the laughing stock of my house- so THIS I absolutely understand.

    Luckily, I live by myself. I feel compelled to both forewarn and apologize in advance to my girlfriend, every time she stays over.

    I'm newly married- and we are long distance- so we don't share a bed every night- but at this point it literally is just a giant joke- he calls me his gassy girl.

    I'm just- completely not.lady like. I am sort of embarrassed- I have to be- because- but the reality is I can't do anything about it- so now it's just an ongoing joke. I apologize for the sleep ones- I can't do anything about it- but sometimes I gas him on purposes b/c he's calling me names. IN which case- #sorrynotevenclosetosorry

    This is what I was thinking too. I actually ate *kitten* in the squat rack years ago. Tried to go too deep with 315, lost my balance, twisted my ankle, smashed my hand between the barbell and catch bar, then laid on the floor laughing like I'd lost my mind as everyone looked on in horror.

    No. I just had winter break, two weeks off without weights, then started a new program.

    I would chalk it up to that. Typically, it takes 3 weeks before you lose strength, but that also assumes going back tot he same program. If you start a new program, the adjustments in volume or how the program was laid out could have an influence of there.

    My experience is quite similar, though I don't even have to take a full break. Just the deload week of 5/3/1 has me sucking for about three lifting sessions once I go back heavy. See how you fair on the next one.

    Great. I'll get my strength back up just in time for another week off for spring break...

    Have to share- I feel down backstage at my first powerlifting meet because I was so nervous my shaking legs gave out in a warm-up squat. It wasn't that heavy, so I didn't have a spotter, I just feel to the floor squeaking "help, help!" and made a big crash that I'm sure messed up the poor lifter on stage. Needless to say I did not PR that day.

    How is everyone doing? Just wanted to bring this back to the first page.
    Also.. my bulk is going really well. It is slow but I compared a photo of before I started and now and I see growth. I am loving my program too. Just really happy progress is happening.. yessss :)

    It's slow, but moving. Keeping kcals between 3200-4500 depending upon daily activity. Averaging 0.7 lbs./week currently.

    Lifts are up, energy is ridiculous (I can't stop moving, hence the stupid high kcals for relatively low gain), and weight is moving, so I'll take it.

    Haha nice sounds like you are right on track.

    I know right.. I feel like a jumping bean!! I sooo wanted to cardio today but resisted the urge... because, there seriously isn't enough food in this house to sustain me !!! :D

    I am not sure! My house is under construction so my home gym is closed! I am staying with my parents and my dad has one of those weight tower thingies so I am able to keep up with some resistance training. The scary thing is I am only guessing that I am still in a surplus. I miss my food scale! It was looking like I was only going to gain 0.75 lbs. for the month. NEED MORE COOKIES!

    It's ok you should see how slow my bulk is.. but the trend is up so that is all that matters.

    It's called Get Glutes, a program designed by Kellie Davis (of Strong Curves).. Bret had a part in it's takeoff but has since left, I would imagine to focus on his other programs and clients.

    After the squat fail last week, and the mental block/fear following, I did much better this week. Rocked my squats and looking forward to next week. Should I stay or increase weight? Or just increase by a set or rep per set?

    Add weight, decrease weight but add reps/sets. Don't keep it the same though!

    Give this a read. It really helped me understand different ways to progress

    I might change up the order of my lifts, maybe deadlift first...And try to increase that lift on Monday, then increase squat on Thursday. I'm also going to try to add another set @100 to my bench(can do 2x5 now, want to go for 3x5 before dropping to 95)

    Yea that's the thing with SC.. he has you doing the bridges and hip thrusts first, sometimes it kills your other lifts!

    Decided to join this thread instead of just lurking :) I'm currently in my second bulk. Up about 5 pounds in 14 weeks so far - deliberately going slower than my first time. Lifts going up steadily too. It's really motivating following everyone's progress!

    I feel like we need a thread for cutting as well. I'm officially off the gain train again as of tomorrow, probably cutting for quite a while. Meh. :|

    Yeah, I don't get it either. Certainly not bulking right now....and certainly not a "bishe" but this is a great, insightful thread

    I feel your pain. I am having a hell week. My aunt passed away and on the sam day my MIL was hospitalized with pneumonia. And the icing on the cake is my son just got sick all over the bedroom. And i havent lifted in several days.
