Thread: Warning! Bulking in progess.

Well thats day one out the way of the bulkmania 2010, stuck to the diet as planned, the only slighly issue is because the times between my feedings are so small if I run late with one feeding it knocks the others out of sync. I can see my abbs slowly disappearing undr there winter blanket, which is annoying but hey you got to think about the bigger picture. Training was pretty good yesterday, training legs at the new gym was fantastic and there are so many great bits of kit to choose from. I'm gone from only been able to use a squat rack and leg extension machine to a whole array of leg machines, presses and 3 calf machines!!
There are some BIG guys down but it's a good atmosphere and some proper banter going on which makes a change from the silence of the health club I was at! Training chest, back and tris tonight so looking forward to hitting some pb's

Going to take my first serving of black powder tonight preworkout which should hopefully get a serious pump going on with the amount of food i'm consuming!Took my first serving of Reflex Growth Matrix lastnight, I was expecting it to taste foul but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I definately wouldn't descirbe it as nice but its drinkable. I can just image when Reflex product development team made this product saying well it's not going ever to taste any better than this!

My motivation is sky high and really looking forward to getting the weight to 3 figures, I just have to be careful not to overeat too much! I just worrk that AC and machine and eating more than me

Well it's time for more food now so my friends... lets eat!

dont worry dude i definately am NOT eating more than you. however the strength is on the rise so you best get lifting some big weights

you got a link to your routine? what sort of weights are you using at the moment?

keep us posted on the progress dude.

This week is just a reccy week, there are so many bits of kit at the new gym I need to try work out a whole new routine. It's great to have so many more options but also hard to decide which ones to use! I was going to copy your bulk training plan or certainly use it as a blueprint to design mine around. Will prob sit down this weekend and plan it out as i'll have a better idea of the kit available by then. I'll post it up next week.

AC are you going to get a mass blog going again on here?

cool sounds good. im very jealous of your gym it sounds ace.

i might actually rekindle my mass gain thread. ill do it if you do it. get it posted in the mass gain section!!

jsut realised that it is posted in the mass gain section lol. i jsut clicked whats new. HA!

Yesterday was chest, was a really good session, managed to flat bench 110kg for 5 reps which is the heaviest i've lifted in many years I don't know if its the diet, new gym or the black powder preworkout i took, prob a combination of all! The only downside is that I had loads of trouble getting to sleep lastnight after taking the black powder, i think now i'm training after work i'll come off preworkouts as my sleep is more important.
Decided to hide my bathroom scales as weighing myself everyday at moment which isn't productive as my weight is always pretty much the same, instead i'll just weight myself once a week on a Sunday morning.
Diet is good, think there might be room for some extra calories in there evetually. Today is a rest day so looking forward to a relaxing evening.

LOl - I love the way despite how much you advise people (myself included) to only weigh in once a week, most of us (admitibaly or not) do it alot more frequently than that

Keep up the hard work mate, sounds like the next MR Olympia is growing!

I used to weigh myself everyday of the challenge until I realised that it was totally pi55ing me off, so I now try and aim for once a week although I do have a cheeky look now and again, even though I know I shouldnt be! haha

Yeah it was getting stupid, i have been weighing myself like twice a day and if it dropped slighly i'm like time for more scoff! I think once a weeks will elimiate me adding too much extra food. Remember TJ the tortoise... slowly, slowly catchy monkey.. Yahtzee

This morning was my first official weigh in on the bulk:
09/08/10 – 94.5kg (+0.5kg)
I am a little disappointed as have consumed ALOT of food this week, I definitely feel bigger and think my bf% looks like it has increased but this doesn’t appear to be reflected on the scales. I finally put the scales away in the cupboard today as was weighing myself everytime I went into the bathroom!
One thing I have noticed is that I tend to drop 1-2kg overnight, I’m not quite sure why this is, maybe I need to wake up for a shake in the middle of the night or am becoming dehydrated.
Planned out my new training routine over the weekend which starts today, looking forward to being more structured with my training and getting in and taking some numbers down. Will post the new routine up here tomorrow. I think it’s a matter of being patient and slightly adjusting the diet for maximum gains. I’ll put an order in for some maltodrextrin and creatine this week which should assist with strength and size gains. Looking forward to a week of big lifting.
