Hi Erika, Welcome!! Happy to see you here :) Awesome job bulking so far. I am thinking of starting creatine as well!

Hi Karen! Welcome :) So happy to see you hear and btw I meant to tell you, you arms are AH-MAZING!

Thanks for crunching Naomi! I was 120 at the beginning of September but I'm actually sitting pretty at 131.2 right now :). I went on vacation for almost 3 weeks in september and came back weighing 125.4. I've been back home for 2 weeks now officially bulking.

I agree! Thanks for the reassurance ladies! I'm thinking about starting creatine as well. Any thoughts on that?

you can check out my profile pics- been lifting heavy for a year and a half now

Thank you! And good to know!!

Hi, I'm Jen! 1. Starting weight: 120.0- 16.53% BF 2. Bulk goal weight: Going to go until I hit 25-27% BF. Not sure how much that actually translates to! 3. Maintenance calories. 1878 4. Bulk calories: 2066-2100 5. Bulk goal duration: Now through New Years 6. Lifting program: 5/3/1 I welcome any advice as I'm totally new to…

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it! I'll be keeping an eye on it :) I am wondering if me doing back to back months of BC (because I went on vacation and didn't want to deal with it) had something to do with it or if it's totally normal. When I joined MFP I started at 134 and there's definitely an improvement to the…

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my favs... there is SO MUCH flavor! http://jenniferdaley.tumblr.com/post/59403483861/southwestern-turkey-burgers

First off, good for you for wanting to make a make. Not everyone has that will power. Second: This should be a lifestyle change. You're going to have the most success if you don't consider this a diet but an over all change to better your life. Eat less but don't deprive yourself of the things you love. Third:…

Sounds like you're doing well so far so keep it up! Eating more is exactly what you need to do. You can continue with your current cardio. Get comfortable with a barbell and then start squatting, deadlifting, and lunging. Those 3 have definitely have made the difference for me. Great beginner lifting programs are Starting…

Bud Ice- ugggh Referencing the first page though.. Tsingtao is good! You obviously have never had one in China lol

I just watched Thor on Netflix recently.. it was hilarious!

Just starting my first bulk as well so I can't offer any advice but I'm in for advice from others :)

Thanks for the feedback and input! I appreciate it! I plan to test my 1RM in the next 2 weeks (I just got back from a nearly 3 week vacation and was sick before that)

Thanks! I a bit of a type A so I like a structured routine hence trying to figure out everything ahead of time ;) my BF tells me the same thing!

Current stats- Current Stats: Deadlift: 150lbs x 1 (6/11/13) Squats: 130lbs x 6 (1/23/13) Bench Press: 75lbs x 8 (8/13/13) OHP: 50lbs x 6 (10/13/13) BF %: 16.53 (8/31/13)

Great post! Love hearing about programs other than the standard 5/3/1 & SL. Definitely going to check out Beyond 5/3/1. Any opinions on programs on sites such as Muscle & Strength and SimplyShredded? I was checking out the PL one on Muscles & Strength and Female Fitness program on Simply shredded. In the end everything is…

this basically made my day

Thanks

Of course! My BF is a heavy lifter so I have him to check and make sure my form is up to snuff and to spot me :)

Thanks for the great detail. I think SL or New Rules would be too beginner for me as I've been lifting over a year now. I think I'm in the intermediate range for most of my lifts. I'm looking to compete in a PL comp sometime next year.

I've been lifting for one and a half years. I just finished LiveFit by Jamie Eason but that's a fat burning program with the diet/calorie intake and level of cardio in weeks 5-12.

LOVE this thread & it's theme!!

deadlifts, bench press, & squats!

my aunt has an amazing recpipe for 'green rice'.. cook regular rice in a pot which chicken & salted flavored water (bouillon cube) and when it's finished she throw in a package of frozen spinach. you cant taste the spinach because of the salt and chicken flavor.. her 3 kids LOVE it. you could also trying blending it into…
