PR Board
Hello lovely bulking ladies! I didn't see one of these yet but I thought it'd be cool if we had a place to share our PR successes since bulking :) I'll start... 10/22 my DL 1RM was 155x1. Last week I pulled 145x4 which means my theoretical 1 RM would now be 166x1. Yay! Who is next!?

General chat
Figured I'd start a general chat thread just to talk with you about the day to day stuff we encounter regarding our current bulks. :happy: Last week I talked with a collegue who is himself somewhat interested in fitness (he's an avid kite surfer himself) and mentioned having started a bulk. Few days later I was asked by…

Where are you at?
I'd love to see some more activity over here in this group as I head into my first bulk. Or is there another group/section that is more active? I suppose I'm in the wrong hemisphere for most users though, if you are the northern hemisphere you might be trimming up for summer? I had been doing a slow cut/recomp over summer,…
Jo's Packing It On Journal!
November 2013 Starting bulk! WOOT WOOT I'm really interested in reaching a certain deadlift- which will require bigger engine- bigger engine means bulk. So here I go with that. I'm vaguely starting to consider competition in 2015 <insert pictures I'm going to take and load later LOL> Starting stats 162 lbs (will come back…

Am I Ready To Bulk?
Hello ladies, I am a real newbie to the health & fitness world and need some advice from people more experienced than me. I've managed to lose 18lbs in the last few weeks and I am now 10st 13lbs and I'm at 31% body fat. I would like to reduce the size of my arms and trim my belly a little bit more but I would also like to…
Tera's Bulking Journal
Woohoo, bulk time! I started Monday and started a journal on bodybuilding.com but figured I'd start one here as well. A little background on me: I lost 30 pounds and have been maintaining for the past 6-ish months. Started lifting in October of 2014 with Strong Curves. I loved my results with Strong Curves. Went through…
Continue cutting or start bulking? Or what??
I'm 5'7, 120lbs. Very loose jello-y fat around waist, have had it all my life. I gain all my weight there, so instead of looking decent and just "thick" when I bulk I just get a huge gut with skinny arms and legs. What do I do.
A little advice please.
So I lost the weight, was skinny fat, lifted the weights, dabbled with bulking cutting, made mistakes. Now I think I finally got this but I have questions. I know everyone is different but I am trying to get a general idea. How long in the year do you bulk/cut for? How many calories over/under maintenance would you go? How…
getting ripped
I am slim build - I have been working out and eating right 95% of the time since Oct -14. I have lost many inches and lbs. Now I can't really afford to lose more- I NEED to build muscle badly. I can totally see/feel the muscle underneath skin but not ripped like- I am 40 and totally motivated to DO THIS. I workout at home…
Need advice bulking so far
Hey guys, since March 2013 I have started a slow bulking process and in between had some draw backs when I was trying to eat vegan for two months or upping cals too fast. From time to time I had times when I had less rest and were totally nervous all the time, always pushing myself through my determined mind to get through…
Feeling fat, not fit - and hating numbers!
Hi all, I would value your perspective. I have been bulking since September, which has been tough for someone who has spent her entire adult life strictly keeping at around 110lbs (5'6"). My weight fluctuates massively with my periods/what I eat, but at the moment I am 122lbs, which is 2lb/month average. I was aiming for…
