You don't have to see the entire staircase... just the first step! ~MLK You can do it!!

Oh, you think the darkness is your ally?

Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria! I completely agree with you! By end of next week though, I will be looking forward to rest day... but by Sunday again, I'll be wanting to pick up something heavy! I just keep thinking of all them gains! Patience got the weight off... and patience will put the mass on! (I'm…

Bane is my motivation! I will be the reckoning!

I did some weighted crunches for funzies. Then I ate a sandwich. Still might do something out side in the sun after work...

When it was all said and done, I did about 250~ pushups over the course of a couple hours. My chest is sorer today than the past months worth of post chest days! He still wants to watch the next two so this is gonna be an intense challenge! Thanks for indulging my little game ;)

I think I'm gonna try chicken and sweet potato fries.

Dang. Now I want poutine! Gotta figure out how to get more protein in it though!

I have started not even trying these new things (Peanut Butter Poptarts, Oreo filling chocolate chip cookies, deep fried cookie dough at the fair). I figure, if I don't try them, I won't know how good they really are (or not). As of now, they may not even taste as good as they sound! Back on topic though, my cheat days are…

You are probably right. Still don't want to push the limits.

When I was incredibly over weight (340 lbs) I had high blood sugar that was in the pre diabetes range. Now, since the weight loss/fitness training my blood sugar is back in to quite a normal range. I'm just trying to avoid too much damage. I'm going back in for a check up next month, which will be right in the middle of…

Im trying to avoid excess weight gain I suppose. Also trying to minimize affects to my blood sugar. Although, by the looks of your avatar, you know what you are talking about!

I should clarify then. I'm trying to maintain a "low" sugar bulk.

Hey, thanks! Right now I am about 30-35% Down the line Protein, carbs and fats. When I was on my cut, I was on a low carb plan so my prtoein and fats were in the 40% range with carbs at 20%. However, with that, I might adjust my protein up a little and fat down. (or maybe carbs up and fats down?) I'm 200 pounds right now…

My diary is open, so if you guys want to take a look at it, feel free to peruse through it and offer any suggestions/thoughts etc.

I don't think you are doing it all wrong lol. Just do me a favor... have an oreo for me will ya? ;) chrisdavey, you said it perfectly. If 3500 is enough to gain weight, it is a bulk lol. And that is just where I am starting on week one. If I find I am not gaining enough, I can always up it. I just didn't want to start day…

I'm trying to do a slow clean bulk. I'm not gonna shove Oreos in just for the sake of out Plus I'm on 3500 ish.

Dat kitten is gonna be huuge too! Lmao! Love the avatar!

I was on weight loss goals for a couple years to get to this point! Lift dem weights to get whooge!

Nobody cared who I was until I put the jock strap on.

Im a total geek as well. I'm sure someone of you have seen my Bane cosplay on here. Like someone else said, us geeks need to maintain a healthy body too!

I don't know if I can easily calculate the pound of muscle gained/fat lost. All I can say is I have muscles in places I have never seen muscles before. I am even able to see ribs right now (I didn't even know I had ribs). Although Waldo, you have a very good looking build for the super lean look (that I am sure you are…

I was at ~2500 on my cut. Now I am doing about 3,500.

Watch out... Ima 'bout to make this summer my *****. [edit]] Apparently, I said a naughty. My bad.

Yeah, Since I'm not going for a super lean look, I don't feel the timing really matters.

Ohh,yeah. I knew that wasn't directed at me. I just meant that everyone has a beach body. You just take your body... to the beach! And love it!! And awe man, I love oreos. Oreos to me are like chips, you can't just have one bag... I kinda avoid them just because they are too damn good. I do like the quest cookies and cream…

I need more everything! Hence the bulk lol. Here is a taste of where I started... I have come a long way, but still have a long way to go. Also, I feel like I have a great beach body... I just don't have a "traditional" beach body! ;)

Here is what I managed to pull off last month at a comic book convention:

My situation is probably unique in that I was 340 pounds of jabba the hut when I I started. I lost 140 pounds down to 200 and was awfully squishy, so I put on 15 pound during a bulk (3 months), then I cut for 3 months and dropped 15 pounds (got down to 17% body fat). Now I am going back on a 20 pound bulk over the next 3-4…

I am definitely doing a clean bulk. Peanut butter and jelly may not seem clean, but I am not wolfing down poptart ice cream sandwiches on my bulk. My carbs are all coming from wheat bread, sweet potatoes, quinoa, oatmeal etc. I am trying to maintain a fairly low sugar count in my bulk (~60 grams a day).
