Ahhhh yes this is great, thanks. I've tried fasted cardio but it just doesn't work for me. The most I can do is 3 hours after eating, and even that is pushing it!3 -

I'm funny. I work out fasted every morning and never have an issue. But on my afternoon workouts, if I don't have some food relatively close to the time I work out, I bonk hard.0 -

Today's food is pre-logged and calories and macros are on point. Now to just stick to it!
Wooshed off my weekend excess. 191.2 this morning. At least 6.2 pounds to go in 39 days. A 556 calorie per day deficit, so about 1800-1900 calories per day is goal.5 -
I've bounced between 191.2/191.4 all week. Being a female sucks sometimes. Hopefully I'll whoosh again after I cycle.2

Almost 3 months into this lean bulk. I’m up to about 210 but still have abs in the morning before the bloat monster ravages me.
Still a bit dubious about bulking this slow but I’ve broken a couple of sticky plateaus so I’m sticking with it. Average intake on workout days is about 3800 and a little less on rest days. Zero cardio.2 -

Do you know how that 3800 compares to your TDEE? What kind of scale change/week are you targeting?0 -

Yep, same issue.1 -

Yep, same issue.
I can only blame my stagnant weight on the calories I keep stuffing into my facehole. Despite averaging right about maintainence since 1/1 the scale has jumped up from 175 to 179 as of this morning. Highly encouraging...2 -

Seems to be about 2-300 above. I’m targeting about .5 a week. Some weeks no movement and some it jumps. It certainly hasn’t been steady like a normal bulk for me. I’ve actually averaged about .7 a week but that’s mostly because of the holiday excess most of us had to deal with... I put on a few extra over Christmas.

Yeah. I've been weighing and logging. It's not the facehole issue. :laugh:1 -

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm weighing and logging, just too much.1 -

Holy smokes, how tall are you? I know you're a quite a bit bigger than I am but your TDEE is +1000.0 -

I’m 6’1. Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense to me either. I don’t weigh everything when I bulk but I certainly do when I cut. I don’t think it’s a logging issue. I am a huge fidgeter and my wife says I’m a furnace... or maybe there is truth regarding that tapeworm I’ve been accused of carrying my entire life. It’s annoying to me primarily because my requirements far exceed my actual appetite. I use a lot of liquid calories.0 -

Same here. I'm trying to remind myself to look at the trend over a few weeks and not a few days.1 -

Official weigh-in this morning, 189.6. Five pounds in four weeks. Do-able.
But as my coach was so kind to point out, I'll be right at TOM for the competition and will have to plan for water weight. Ugh.3 -

Do you get a rebound from raising carbs? I always regain about 5 pounds the first week as I restore glycogen.

I'm gonna find out...
I cycle carbs anyway. Currently six days at 180 and one at 280 per week. Hopefully that keeps the rebound from being too crazy.1
