Finally slowed down. Even lost a pound and a half. I believe that was water weight. Ready for a gradual gain now.

I lift 7 days a week taking a day off every other week

I’m following Arnold’s Blueprint toMass. And packing it on

No swelling or bloat. I’m eating 5k + calories a day. About 2000/2200 surplus. Fat gain is minimal at best. I’m working with an IFBB pro , he says everything is good to go. I was told to expect a rapid increase in the first couple weeks. It just drug out a bit longer than expected. I don’t put much faith in scales. The…

BMI scales can’t be trusted if you’re quite muscular.

Not much to look at. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m sort of a work in progress

I sleep in the buff. It actually has proven health benefits. We wear clothes all day...

For sure. Running a bulk means adding some fat regardless. That’s where the cut comes in

I have to agree with niner. Keto is more of a weight loss/ cutting diet. You’d be hard pressed to add mass...

Two weeks into my current bulk. Gaining rather quickly, but I should start slowing down soon. Then it will be a more gradual gain. Started at 175, looking to get to 195-200 by mid January. Then I’ll be on the cut 💪🏼

And scales are liars. The mirror never lies

Weight training is killing you in this scenario. Cardio.....

The short list of foods I’m obsessed with on this bulk. Protein pancakes, salmon patties, egg noodles

My wife want to add a peloton, she like the spin life.

Most days my protein intake is 1.3gpp or higher. But I’m a carnivore

Filet mingnon and seafood stuffed portobello mushrooms

Rule #1 Know that cheat days are essential.

Once you hit the wall, push a little harder. You’ll get past it and crush your goals

Stay focused on the prize, and you can do anything

43, and just started training for my first competition. 💪🏼

I corrected my blood pressure with diet , and lifestyle changes.

I’d be a slug if I didn’t eat carbs

I feel your pain, I’ll be on the cut come January

4000+ quality calories daily, and packing on the weight...in muscle.
