Thanks for the responses! Well, after a couple huge holiday cheat meals I ended up averaging about 2150 calories for the week anyway so I decided I'll aim for 2050 for this week and then hit 2150. The water fluctuations haven't been too bad so far and I'm trying to push through any mindfucks from the scale. I think the…

Figured it was time for another update. Six weeks in, I've definitely hit a low period emotionally for my bulk. I'm back at college and while I know I'm much more active than I was at home and that's probably raised my TDEE a bit, I'm struggling a little bit mentally being without my food scale and having to make a lot of…

I realized I hadn't updated in a while! One cycle and a week in, I still like my split but some of the weights are starting to get heavy in the hypertrophy range.

Hi guys, I'm Liz! I been trying to bulk since around November but wimped out with eating more and at most did a slight recomp. However, now I finally feel ready to dedicate myself to really going for it! 1. I'm 5'4 around 112 pounds, 20% bf 2. I've decided not to go for a set goal weight but re-evaluate after 12 weeks of…

I haven't done starting strength specifically but I think the routine you copied is for someone fairly advanced in the program, warming up to a working weight of 105 not for someone just starting out. Once you hit higher weights you're going to want to warm up by doing sets of slowly increasing weight before you get to…
