I'm half the man i used to be

**Cold Iron** · 06-06-2004, 11:08 AM

Well not to that extreme, but it feels like it.

Having just returned to the gym after a 2 month layoff, I find myself 20 pounds lighter now. The lost of lb's and inactivity at the gym werent by choice, as I was hit by the BB'ing killer, known as mononucleosis.

Of the 20 pounds I'd say I lost 13lb of muscle and maybe 7 from water.... It's too bad it wasn't all fat, i'd be shredded and still have most of my precious muscle

I still dont feel 100% energy wise yet, but I can't afford to wait any longer. I'm soooo anxious to get back into the gym.

Age- 21
Weight- 172
bf- 13-15 % (maybe??...lol)

I will be working every muscle once per week, but wont have set days for certain muscles b/c my work sked is all over the place.

I will be posting some "now" pics to help gauge my progress....as soon as i figure out how to work this digi and have someone other than my granny here to take the pics for me.

This will be a detailed log of both my training, diet and whatever else i feel the urge to write down.

I guess it's officialy bulk time, as i'm going to the grocery store right now

WOHOOOOOOO!!!!

...Any tips, q's, comments and/or suggestions welcome, in fact, encouraged.

Keep your bulker clean so you dont end up 20% fat. I probably wouldn't go over 500 calories additional per day unless you are willing to pack on a bit more fat, when you are natural a bulker should not be some crazy all you can eat buffet.
