Thread: Dave's Training Journal.

The time has come to bulk up and pack on the much needed muscle. I aim to do this over a period of 6 months (Till March 1'st), when i will then begin my summer shred.....

Il be following a strict lean bulking diet, trying to minimise the increase of bodyfat. I know it is inevitable I will become a little wobbly in places, but I'm going to try and keep my abs as long as possible!!

EDIT: PLEASE VISIT PAGE 8 OR CLICK HERE FOR THE REVISED BULK PLAN OF MY TRAINING JOURNAL, AND VISIT PAGE 21 OR CLICK HERE FOR THE FINISH OF MY BULK AND THE START OF MY SUMMER CUT, THANKS.

Before bed I will have; 2 Scoops 6hr Blend + 2 Eggs

Also have been keeping a 1 Scoop Whey shake near my bed incase I get up during the night for a pee! (Which I've been doing a lot of lately, I have the bladder of an OAP)

Supplmentation; Not 100% yet, Started to use Sci-Mx Lean Grow MRF, MuscleTech Anabolic Halo, Gaspari Myofusion, Jack3d. But I'm near enough ready to invest in another Whey.
When payday comes I will be investing in PHD CLA's, MST ZMK's, possibly a test-booster and a good multivitamin.

Day 1 - Chest + Tri's
Day 2 - Bi's + Calfs

I sir.. tip my hat to you *tips hat* and wish you the best of luck on this.. Also I know what you mean about the OAP bladder issue, Jim can vouch for me.. I pee alot.

Cheers! OAP bladder is a right ball ache, without fail il get up at least once a night!

Mines generally waking me up at about 6 each morning just to go pee then I go back to sleep till 8.30 and go to work lol.

Lucky for you! I'm already up at 6 and just about to set off for work!!

Hahaha, snap. I usually get up for pee pees at between 3 and 4 and then get up for work at 5:30. Commented on your blog Dave. I think we should start a thread about what time we all get up for pee pees hahahahahaha.

Thats one of the best diets I've seen in a while, stick to that and you'll be making great gains. I stop drinking water at about 8pm and that normally stops me needing to go during the night

Haha Barry! Get the pee thread started! Mine has 3.30am today!!

Cheers númerouno, I always have a before bed shake so I can't help but have water late!
