Well 225-230......Today, looking cut and vascular as I tore Paris and Mr. Paris a new set of arms..........I decided "for sure" that at the w8 I been running....I'm not fat at all...and could afford 5 weeks and whatever may come!

A side note....it's amazing what a few UP People can do to a gym's energy. I drove the "Lion King" to a Personal Best as I spotted his squats....I ridiculed the "ultimate fighter guy" to "growl" (and fucking put out).....and We gave the SLB's a new definition of what 'EFFORT' is!

Even got bowed to upon leaving LOL

I am on a cut right now.... but if you decide to do this again... say next year in 2003... I'd definitely join your 5-some!

What is after 5 weeks... A cut?

I think Rob should join you all... would be fun to watch!

Not lean enough to start bulking.




Posted by: CLPgold

Alright I'm in. But I'm super drunk right now so does it count???

Mwah haha. I say it does and I'm sticking with it. I plan on gaining 5lb of lean body mass only. No body fat. I rarely retain water (probably cuz I pee every 20 min). I'm going home for Christmas from Dec.21/02 - Jan. 3/03. But I will be at the gym there. I haven't been at my old stomping grounds back home for almost 3 years so I'm excited. This will be good. Basically I want to gain muscle and no fat cuz I gotta look real good. And since I'm getting my "boobs" March 10th I have to gain as much lean mass as possible before I take a month off for recovery.

I'll take my weight, measurements and bodyfat on Tuesday.

I am not giving up alcohol during this phase. We'll have to add that into the equation. Just being honest. I'm gonna be home during peak alcohol season so I can't quit, and right now I'm in training... My diet's always clean, though I don't always eat as many cals as I should. Feedback is always appreciated though.

My diet is more high carb than fats and it works well for me, except when cutting. Fruit is a big fave and I still stay very lean. People in the gym always ask if I'm competing soon cuz I stay so lean.

DP and w8, if you guys will oblige, pump all the info you can give me my way.

I am not afraid to train hard or heavy. I love it!!! And will push the limits.

DP if you say sqaut, squat I shall at whatever weight you think I should!!!

As far as abs go mine are always there so I'm not too concerned about them. My main concern is bringing out my quads,hammies and calves. My upper body (especially shoulders, bis and tris - my strong points) have no problem. For some reason I don't seem to have the same pain tolerance to train my legs as I do my upper body. I find my legs respond well to running and endurance exercises, but I don't like endurance exercises much. I like to train heavy.

I love cardio! Just never do it cuz I don't have time.

Alright, there's my drunken input. But I'm GAME!!!

Hello all. I would love to increase my lbm. Mochy mentioned not being lean enough to bulk. How lean do I have to be to play? Also I teach cardio kickboxing classes 3 x/week. Is that too much cardio for a true bulk?

I think you should bring your legs up yes, but IMO, you should work on widening your lats a touch and capping your shoulders...that would bring more symmetry to your physique, important for competition. Of course depends on what you want to compete in next year...your legs as they are now (or..how I remember them I should say) are great for fitness modelling but if you plan on doing MM then I'd say bring them up a bit. Capping your shoulders off would help your placing in both fitness modeling and BB though.

Well, ideally you want to be happy w/ your physique right now in terms of BF because you will gain a little BF. Mochy is definitely lean enough to do a 5-lb gain. Not much we can do about the kickboxing, and I don't plan to skip mine either, just make sure you eat enough to compensate for the activity.

DP....this was a good idea..thank you.

Do we have to have skinfolds done?



Posted by: karategirl

I'm never happy with the bf. I guess I'm out

Well...DP's diets are a lot different than most diets....you tend to be a lot harder on them, even when taking in more than maintenance. Why don't you post your current diet here and depending on what it's like, you could actually be a little harder during your bulk. Hell we could even set you up on a maintenance diet or cutting diet and probably add LBM...we've done that before



Posted by: karategirl

You know I've been lurking around and I have been trying to fool around with what you and DP do nutritionally but I'm not really sure if I'm nailing it.
i.e. this mornings breakfast
1whole egg
4 whites
1oz. pepper jack cheese
green pep and onion (cooked in olive oil)
3/4 cup frozen unsweeted blue berries


I have had good success with the "old" clean way of eating. You've seen my old pre comp journal. But I really would like to learn this for my own benefit as well as my clients. I'd like to try to maintain/cut and add lbm. I'm definatly up new work out and a new challenge. If you think it can be done, count me in.



Posted by: Twin Peak

Well, I'd join y'all but I am just finishing a 6 week bulk next week. So far I am up 15 pounds.

I am going to do a quick mini cut than continue bulking after the new year -- so basically, I am on a completely opposite schedule.

Anyway, it'll be fun to watch. So whats the prize?



Posted by: Adidas

Hey Guys,

I agree with everyone..this is going to be fun to watch!

* I am NOT happy with my BF right now (as you all know due a LENGTHY irresponsible post-contest binge) However, I will still do the bulk. The extra weight I have put on and all the extra carbs I have ingested have let me "throw some weight" around like never before! I did 2 sets 25lb DB curls for 8 reps...a weight I barely got 2 reps on and I did 35lb DB Shoulder Press for 7 reps, WITHOUT help, this was a wieght I'd get 2 or 3 asssisted reps
So I am content with carrying a lil layer o BF for now. I know I will pay for it durting my cut, but when cutting I am ALL OR NOTHING, so should be alright.....

*ahem....W8, this was my idea

We have worked so hard to get where we are, we cannot blow it on sugar and cashews!! Ok girl, I say we bulk together. Maybe a lil friendly contest between us? I dunno, I need some more motivation sicne there is no show date playing in my head! What do ya say?

No prizes.....we don't want to encourage "Runway Leslie Style Eating"....This is a CLEAN BULK! Achieve the "Objective" and you've won.

We will know how Clean a person is by their meal postings!

And while measurements are not necessary, some may want to track "abdominal girth"

Yea, yea .....

I DID see the pic comment, only it was yesterday and I forgot about it.Thanks for reminding me

I will have you know, the only part of me to big to fit in the screen are my boobies.......and, um....er, maybe my ASS...


SO, what are you saying???? Should I do a cut before this bulk? To get off the lard??

I can't remember your meals before...I'll have to review you old journal. That meal looks pretty good...I'd add another egg white and use only 1/2 cup blueberries.

Let's see what the rest of your day is like. Also need current stats and water intake.

I think you should do it!



Posted by: CLPgold

w8 you are right on about my legs. Those suckers just don't respond all that great, so when I cut, I'm left with slim (but shapely) legs. I want QUADS, HAMMIES and CALVES that are noticabely very muscular.

You're right about my upper body too. Especially lats. I am soooo narrow through my ribcage. Before I started w8 training when I was a teenager, my shoulders, arms, and ribcage and waist were so skinny. My shoulders actually sloped down and I had to wear shoulder pads all the time. LOL. I know I can put more size on my shoulders, the lats are gonna be tough for me. When I first started w8 training at 18 my measurements were:
33 - 22 - 33 and I weighed 104lb. Now I usually am around 34 - 24/25 - 34/35 and my weight stays between 121-125.
Note: After my boobs I might weigh about 3-4lb more. HEHE.

I am actually leaving this Thursday until Mon. Dec.9/02. Then I'm gone again from Dec.11/02-Dec.19/02. Then again for the holidays. I'm hoping I can use someone's computer on a regular basis to log. When I'm in Calgary I'll be at my parents house so I can post. But when I'm gone the first couple weeks, it might be tough. I'll be able to get my stats done on Tuesdays though. I'll be training the whole time, and eating clean cuz I'm taking all my own food with me.

Me and Wil will do our stats on Tuesday and I'll post em.



Posted by: CLPgold

BTW I can only do Smith squats. I have a long torso and shorter legs so when I squat with free weights the load automatically goes to my low back instead of legs. I have tried many times over the years to adjust this and had top trainers tell me they can show me how to do it right. Well, they're wrong. My body just isn't built properly. I know how to do them right! My body just can't do it unless I do a REALLY WIDE stance. So I have to stick with the Smith.

Hey guys what about grapes. I really love them!

You fucking know better

You guys can start with 1/2 a banana post W/O...but I would trade the grapes for Sweet potato, Brown Rice or Oatmeal......


It's up to each person.........I can tell you that sugars versus increased protein and fats...will lead to more fat gain!

Yeah ...I know

fruit post w/o has been shown to reduce fat loss (or something like that), as opposed to a different (starch, fibrous) type of carb. I can't remember the exact study



Posted by: CLPgold

Butt people like my big round booty!!!

OK no grapes. I'll have to avoid buying bananas too cuz when I'm in a rush I just can't resist. What about oranges?

As you may have noticed in my eating habits, I hardly ever eat any starchy foods or low GI carbs. I love yams, and only make potatoes about every couple of weeks. I could live forever and never eat rice. I never eat breads unless I've made my own homemade bread which I haven't done in months. I've got a pantry full of oatmeal, kamut flakes, spelt cereal, cracked wheat/rye/flax and kamut kernels. Just haven't eaten them in a awhile. Hehe Huggie Bear is looking at the screen pretending like he can read what I'm typing.

My shopping list and food itinerary for this week: I gotta premake all my food to go away.
*eggs, eggs, and more eggs
*canned tuna (not a big fan)
*canned salmon? I love it! Can I have it DP and w8?
*5blend oil for my salads - make my own dressing w/the oil, soya sauce, brown rice vinegar and sesame seeds - is this OK?
*salad mix
*yams - plain
*chicken breasts- baked w/sea salt and Montreal Steak Spice
*ribs - baked w/fresh squeezed lemon juice, lemon/pepper seasoning, sea salt
*oatmeal/kamut
*apples/oranges
*steamed brocoli ( I love that stuff)
*steamed green or yellow beans - whatever is in season or on sale
*I might pick up some Princess Blend rice - it's got white, brown, red and wild rice in it. Or I might just have brown and wild rice.
*I like boiled soy beans. What's your call on these?
*glutamine and my other supps. inc.flax oil and apple cider vinegar
*I may or may not pick up protein powder. If I do it will either be Interactive Soy, or PVL Whey Gold. Or I might try the Isopure. This is iffy.
*I'm not gonna have any cottage cheese.
*I may have a couple protein bars in there, but I'll try not too.
*I may go out once or twice for a 12oz NY or Tbone and 1/2plain baked potatoe.

If there 's something missing I should have let me know. Or if there's something there that shouldn't be let me no. Except do not OMIT the RIBS! RIBS and PORK CHOPS are must haves!

Ok I'll go with the brown basmati. Seeing as I have this strange fetish for young East Indian men these days anyways.... LMAO

Yes, the current young hottie I get to see at Christmas is East Indian. SH#1 is Iranian. Yes, he's still around. He's a good friend, that's all. Why? Cuz he didn't make me cum. LMFAO. Is that TMI.

OK forget the tuna then, I'm just getting canned salmon.

I'll get back into eating more of my oatmeal and yams. I've got to have 1-2 fruits a day. It keeps me outta the junk food.

Yes, the current young hottie I get to see at Christmas is East Indian. SH#1 is Iranian. Yes, he's still around. He's a good friend, that's all. Why? Cuz he didn't make me cum. LMFAO. Is that TMI.

OK forget the tuna then, I'm just getting canned salmon.

I'll get back into eating more of my oatmeal and yams. I've got to have 1-2 fruits a day. It keeps me outta the junk food.
1-2 fruits a day is fine...and yes...TMI!!!!

OK no grapes. I'll have to avoid buying bananas too cuz when I'm in a rush I just can't resist. What about oranges?

As you may have noticed in my eating habits, I hardly ever eat any starchy foods or low GI carbs. I love yams, and only make potatoes about every couple of weeks. I could live forever and never eat rice. I never eat breads unless I've made my own homemade bread which I haven't done in months. I've got a pantry full of oatmeal, kamut flakes, spelt cereal, cracked wheat/rye/flax and kamut kernels. Just haven't eaten them in a awhile. Hehe Huggie Bear is looking at the screen pretending like he can read what I'm typing.

My shopping list and food itinerary for this week: I gotta premake all my food to go away.
*eggs, eggs, and more eggs
*canned tuna (not a big fan)
*canned salmon? I love it! Can I have it DP and w8?
*5blend oil for my salads - make my own dressing w/the oil, soya sauce, brown rice vinegar and sesame seeds - is this OK?
*salad mix
*yams - plain
*chicken breasts- baked w/sea salt and Montreal Steak Spice
*ribs - baked w/fresh squeezed lemon juice, lemon/pepper seasoning, sea salt
*oatmeal/kamut
*apples/oranges
*steamed brocoli ( I love that stuff)
*steamed green or yellow beans - whatever is in season or on sale
*I might pick up some Princess Blend rice - it's got white, brown, red and wild rice in it. Or I might just have brown and wild rice.
*I like boiled soy beans. What's your call on these?
*glutamine and my other supps. inc.flax oil and apple cider vinegar
*I may or may not pick up protein powder. If I do it will either be Interactive Soy, or PVL Whey Gold. Or I might try the Isopure. This is iffy.
*I'm not gonna have any cottage cheese.
*I may have a couple protein bars in there, but I'll try not too.
*I may go out once or twice for a 12oz NY or Tbone and 1/2plain baked potatoe.

If there 's something missing I should have let me know. Or if there's something there that shouldn't be let me no. Except do not OMIT the RIBS! RIBS and PORK CHOPS are must haves!
Boiled soy beans only if it is edamame, the brown rice vinegar is going to have sugar in it, ACV is better...or at least Balsalmic.........
Oranges are NOT a good choice, Oatmeal over Kamut....and the rest of what w8 said, Brown Basmati over the Princess Blend etc...



Posted by: CLPgold

Alright I'll substitue the acv for the other. NO ORANGES! GRRRR


I can definitely enjoy the brown basmati.

Why oatmeal over kamut? I've got spelt cereal too that cooks up to the consistency of cream o wheat. Is that OK?

They will do, but the Oatmeal has GLA (a gr8 EFA), a good fiber content and seems to work the best for BB's!

My GF has the same problem (can't do squats or deadlifts), but has to assume a sumo stance for those two.
So don't feel bad, I don't think her body is built wrong !

I dont know if I can do this because of my lengthy XMAS vacation I will be away from 12/20-1/06 in FLorida. I will probably not have access to the internet. We are staying at my BF's mom's place and I dont think she has a computer! How will I survive w/o IM?? We will be DRIVING down(grrrrrrrr) since my BF and his bro are chickens. It will take like 28 hours Talk about planning meals!
Anyhoo, I will not be able to log my meals or progress....I will continue to follow the meal plan and there is a KICK ASS gym there so that wont be an issue.....What do u think, am I disqualified? If so, Yanick can take my place and I will run a parrallel journal......

I'll bump this since you seemed to have overlooked it.



Posted by: cornfed

Well, shiat Widh I woulda known about this BEFORE I started my own bulker

Oh, well. I wish I could join y'all, but I'm about to start reducing cals slowly, and then cut a 'lil.
But on the bright side, I put on 18lbs (~11.5 lean/~6.5 fat) in the past 6wks

G'luck

Well TCD, where are yours?


I just had a shirtless "back" avi up for weeks.......The larger view is lost in my puter.......if w8 has access and wants to post some she may....(the ones from before, and the one used for the PT site plz)...the back view is the only shirtless one I know of.....too much hair and a nasty scar on the front)

I have hung my posing trunks up for good...the gym is my stage...and I compete everyday!

Posted by: Twin Peak

In fairness, he posted some in his journal.

Why have you retired from competing? Last I remember you were considering another.

You gained 12 pounds of muscle in 6 weeks? Um, can I ask how? Two pounds per week is ludicrious. Were you taking anything?

That's what I get for not reading his Journal....last I saw were some pics of him pissed.

I get the urge....everytime I go to a comp or someone comes back and tells me that I would have placed, consesus from the March NPC was Second or Third, second this last show (3 weeks ago)....but I heard two of the guys I would have beaten were "too old" to hear the callout instructions

I don't see why any non-professional bodybuilder would want to use the build-cut method. I want a nice look year round and not only 2 times a year etc.



Posted by: Twin Peak

There are many reasons. For one, some of us have difficulty keeping the BF very low. To keep it low year round would be mentally impossible.

But more importantly, this is a LEAN bulk they are going for, so your worry/concern/point is a bit moot. Essentially to keep a BF under 10% most people would need deficit cals. To add muscle you need extra cals.

Ok...thanks twin peak

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Is BULKING THIS FUQQING HARD PEOPLE??? oo:



DP



Posted by: w8lifter

Yes....it almost sucks worse than cutting



Posted by: Dr. Pain

Speaking of cutting....I'm almost afraid to ask "WHO WANTS TO CUT? ...LOL

So the BULK was NOT a huge success.........today is weigh-in and all we have is Dvlmn...still in the running!

My conclusion is that BULKING is harder than CUTTING!

or that lean people shouldn't BULK!

Anyway....note to Prince and the BULKERS........may we leave this forum up to say maybe 1/1/03....giving everyone a chance to ask a friendly Moderator to move their thread for safe keeping?
