So its Saturday night around 9pm. I am sitting at home, doing nothing in particular, getting ready to eat my 5th meal today and kind of disappointed that I am only on meal 5 at 9pm. "Bulking" is hard. Really hard. I thought I would be able to gain weight fairly easily since it was so easy to do back when I was fat. Wow was I wrong. When I started bulking, I actually lost weight at first. Then slowly climbed up from 206 to about 220. Right now I am sitting at 217, eating about 3000-3500 calories a day, and still barely gaining a pound a week. I started to eat a few more calorie dense foods/meals (bad for you stuff: burgers, sweets, etc) hoping that will help out a little.
I do notice myself getting bigger though. Adding some fat as well as the muscle I am trying to put on. I'll take the bad with the good though. I still have 13 lbs more to go before I start to even think about cutting weight. Once I get to 230, I will decide when my competition will be. Until then, just eat, sleep, train my life away. I currently use a 4-day split as follows:
Monday: Chest/Tris/Forearms
Tuesday: Upper Back/Bis &Cardio
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Quads/Calves/Abs
Friday: Hamstrings/Lower Back/Shoulders
Saturday: REST
Sunday: Active rest (cardio from soccer)
My goals, in addition to poundage are:
45inch chest (started at 40 inches)
18inch arms (started at 16 inches)
Have a good Sunday everyone!
