Good for you! It really is quick and simple to home cook once you work a few meal plans out. I've got 4 kids and a husband to cook for as well but can rustle up a decent meal in half n hour. Keep at it and you will just do it without even thinking about it in future! Frozen veg is a winner 👌 chopped and ready to just…

Cheers dude, will take a look.

I did gluteal goddess the advanced 'full body' but not full body enough for me, workout. I have his book, have done the first 2 phases, on second week of the final phase. Have found it great for lower body, but have had to throw in more upper... I want all round muscle but I do want a big butt too so I'm trying to find…

I can weigh in am first thing and then have a coffee, weigh in again and I've gained 3/4 lbs...

Haha had to check I didn't typo for a minute then!

Cheers guys

Thanks... Will definitely keep that in mind. I've been adding a dollop of peanut butter to my yogurt or fruit in evening to try and hit those last fat macros as I do eat alot of low fat foods. How does everyone cope with the weak feeling when they cut? Last time I did it I felt terrible all the time. I'm gradually cutting…

Ace, thank you x

Hahaha I actually prefer brown varieties, they have more flavour but I do like a white thick cut piece of toast dripping in butter and lemon curd lol

Ace, cheers guys. I actually find it harder to hit my carb goals than the other 2 so cutting out certain things makes it soo hard! On my bulk it was hell hitting carbs as I could just never eat enough! I'm set at maintenance for now, and will drop down slowly over next few weeks... Hopefully won't go back to being a twig

thanks everyone for all your advice :smiley: i dont feel the urge to indulge in cakes and the desserts as such so i have no problems avoiding that sort of food...i tend to stick to yogurt and fruit for a sweet fix. I use whey as meal replacements on the go and post workout protein but im not overly keen on adding it to…

Thanks everyone... I think I will just stick to my good old training log book! Technology over complicates things for me lol

I like icecream, granola and a thick whip up of vanilla protein powder and full fat milk in a bowl for a cal boost

Thanks hun, means alot coming from you! Can only get better hey! Might look as fab as u one day!

terrible lighting in my photos, sorry

sorry, my phone went odd....there was alot more to that message haha..... basically, yes i do thrusts but i find it soo hard to gain weight espesh in my butt!!! this is it now, like 2 mins ago.... the jeans im wearing above are very big on me and my posture is awful so think my butt looks terrible in that haha!! Ive always…

Yes I do hip thrusts

Kettlebells and kettlersize DVD are great at home workouts for fat loss and muscle sculpting ☺ cheap too

Ace cheers. Think I was having a wobbly moment

I only gained 20lb carrying my twins and they were both 6lb at 36weeks...add cheese to everything, drink whole milk and snack on nuts and dried fruits ☺ I used to eat chocolate mousse with everything as a dip like ketchup

Thanks guys. I have put on 2 stone in the last couple years so its difficult for me to judge as im used to being sickly thin. I do feel uncomfortable but as I said, I usually bolt about now but lose all my hard work so I'm determined not to mess up this time....just don't want to get fat either lol. Yes week before Xmas…

Great thread

Great thread. I'm constantly worried I will just get fat on a bulk because I find gaining muscle so hard! I lift as heavy as I can keeping good form for reps between 8-10 mostly and some drop sets. I'm pretty sure I'm working as hard as I can safely without a spotter, I couldn't go heavier without upsetting my form anyway…

Brilliant post, will definitely check back here in spring before my cut! Never did get the MFP calculator, have always used scoobys then added it here myself!

I definitely agree!

Aye, my genetics suck! It's taken me 2 years to gain 2 stone and my strength gains are really slow. I have seen a huge improvement in my shape though, I used to be stick thin with absolutely no muscle but I'm filling out now slowly. My family are all either really skinny with no breasts or bums or really fat....im not…

Yes love Pauline, I did build and burn a year ago but I just couldn't stick to her diet, too much veg for me and I felt constantly tired...but her workouts are awesome and I still implement some elements into my own plans. ☺

Haha *kitten! Guess we can't swear then!

Cheers guys, I train hams n calves in with shoulders - doing rdl, gd morns, ball curls, single calf raisers and barbell calfraisers then on my glute/quad day I've been doing *kitten* to grass squats, wide squats, walking lunges, thrusts, donkey kicks and peeing dogs... I train at home so only have a rack, bench and…

Really helpful post, thanks ☺
