Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I think I am going to start adding some HIIT cardio to my routine.
For a couple reasons:
1) to get body up to par for hockey
2) Not happy with fat loss so far (I don't want to drop cals as I think I am making progress with muscle gains)

Try doing 1 20 min. HIIT and 1 30 min. Moderate cardio per week. That should be good to start with but I wouldn't go more than that.

Thanks Jodi,

I was thinking 2-3 sessions per week, which will be hard to do, as I hate freakin' Cardio.

Looks Like Vegas was a good time from the pics

I have been having a bitch of a time adjusting to this Time Change. I usually go to the gym in the morning, but I keep getting up an hour earlier at 5am, then fall back asleep and am now even more tired at 6 am. I have never had this problem before it is driving me nuts.

OK so here is the Deal! I haven't Lost any Scale Weight! But I have been Increasing in some Lifts. Benched 235 x3 (No Spot)a number which I haven't seen in over 2 years.

I notice my upper body, making reasonable changes ( filling out a little) but my gut is still there and waist has not changed much maybe a little more loose than previously.

I am not really fretting over this though. I am liking the results of some Muscle being put on am thinking I should push forward a slight caloric increase(adding some more good carbs, so I am about 200-300 above Maint.)

I think this would be good step to take right now, hopefully speed up my Metabolism a little, which is probably a good thing, cause it always seems like I am trying to lose weight. Sometimes a different flavour is a good thing.

Whadda think? I know I have been jumping all over the place, it was only the other week where I said I should be adding some cardio. But I couldn't get myself over to the dark side. Cardio Blah!

Oh by the Way congrats with everything. AZ sounds like the place you should be.

Go for it. BULK BULK BULK!!! This is the perfect time of year for it too. You won't feel so guilty about your cheats. You will certainly put on some mass and it will be a great change for you.

Come up with a plan and I'll give you a hand with it if you wish

Clean Bulking Diet

Hey Jodi,

Fiqure I would post my attempt at a bulking diet here that way if anyone else reads my journal hopefully they can learn something.
I want too keep this as clean as possible, because I am already not that lean. I think this will be a good change,adding some muscle mass that I have lost from constantly trying to lose BF and hopefully spike up my metabolism a little, of course and as you said this is the perfect time of year to do this.

50 g Fiber One
2 tsp Flax Seed Oil
1/2 Grape Fruit
5 Fish Oil caps

Cal 442 Pro 48 Carb 38 Fat 20

Supps will stay similar, except I will probably add a creatine product more than likely Swole v2.

Whatcha Think?

Thanks for your help Jodi.

Got a compliment from my wife today saying she said it looked like I was loosing weight

I told her I haven't lost a pound.

Pretty good feeling since she sees me everyday, and I wouldn't expect her to pick up on any slight changes.
