Hi Kim, I know your frustration. More gyms should have 2 1/2 pound increments with their dumbbells. One I used to go to did, all the way up to 37 1/2 and it was great. Not where I am at now though. I'm getting stuck now with side laterals seated because going up another 5 pounds is causing too much cheating, while the lighter weight seems to easy as I can do 15 reps without a big problem.

Hi Kim. I think your carbs are too low and this is the major part of the problem. 1 gram per pound which is what you have been consuming is very low to be eating on a consistent basis if you are trying to gain some size, training so hard and heavy, plus also appear to be under some outside stresses such as at work. Your calories may also need to be boosted because you are burning so much energy, but I would first increase your carbs, especially on workout days and in your pre and post workout meals.

Ego, thank's for your imput.

So if I resumed my first week and 1/2 from my switch from cut to bulk here is what have been happening with me since I decided to started adding mass.

Start at 122.8 pounds - Bf 14.4% (omron) and after a week 1/2
End at 120.6 pounds - BF at 13.7% (omron)

I make an increment of 20% from my BMR which gives me around 1770 to 1800 calories a day.

I was having 3 ways of thinking regarding my bulk, doint it with 40/30/30% ration, which I'm currently doing. I did choose that one for a first bulk because of the way I have been reacting with my cut and without knowing if I'm really carbs sensitive, I though that this one was the one to go and by doing it like this I thought that it will be much more easy to control my bf%. Is it too soon to switch everything. It seems that I'm already at 1.7 to 1.8g protein in regard with my LBM with those percentage and roughtly to 1gr to 1.2g carbs sometimes. I though that I could have success with those percentage.

What if I choose:

35/42/23% it will give me 156gr protein so 1.5g as per my LBM
it will give me 184g carbs so 1.5g as per my BW
it will give me 46gr of fat

or if I choose

35/50/15% it will give me 156gr protein so 1.5g as per my LBM
it will give me 221gr carbs so 1.8g as per my BW
And fat will give me 30gr a day.

Big difference of carbs in regard with 35/42/23 and 35/50/15 and what have have been currently doing around 135grms carbs a day.

I'm just wondering which one will be less risky for adding lbm and of course what I'm really looking at is my BF%. I don't mind gaining something like 2%BF more but I'm not looking for adding muche more body fat that those 2%.

Ego, you said that you will keep my protein as it is right now so around 180 gr a days with give me 1.7 to 1.8g as per my LBM and raised my carbs.

Do I really need to keep my protein to that level or getting into the others formulas, will be okay, but with the others formulas, my protein will be dropping.

I lot of mental math's works but I like it and want to make it the best.

Thank's for any help from everybody's.

Hi Kim!

I just want to say you are doing a fantastic job!

I see you are like me with the numbers and calculations but it doesn't have to be some complicated. If you are losing weight eating 1700-1800 calories per day then go up to 1900-2000. I would add carbs as already suggested, especially to your pre and post w/o meals since your muscles are ready to absorb those carbs right after. Keep your 1 cheat meal a week and eat clean the rest of the time. I know you might have reservations with increasing your calories this high because you think you will add fat but you won't add much at all. It is necessary to do this to gain muscle. Try this for a week and take your bf and weight again next week. If you are still not gaining enough slightly bump up your calories again.

Hi JStar Thank you for your great imput and I'm happy to see that I'm not the only dummy working on my math's I just can't help about it, I think I'm becoming excessive sometimes, but it always keep me really motivated. I will follow your advise and will make some little increments.

And You are right for a first bulk, I DON'T WANT TO ADD TO MUCH FAT I think I will be able to deal with 2% raise of fat, but not more.

SO UPDATE OF YESTERDAY

Was pretty easy to get some more carbs.

So FRIDAY UPDATE AND WEEKEND

Today's Friday, so it's cheat day's. Update from this morning as usual friday, weight scale didn't move but Bf % drop again.

Weekend Update: Yahoo, going to the cottage tonight for the whole weekend. It makes almost 2 months for me that I didn't went, so I'm pretty looking for it. Gonna go skin the Bear that my husband catch up and recuperate the grease for leather treatment and hair as well. Good stuff. It's gonna be my second animal skin. First one was a wolfe.

Hope Everybody have a good weekend.

RECAP OF THE WEEKEND

Okay, not really happy of my self because I have been bad with my eating all weekend So eventough I want to add more LBM, and I'm able to take 7 to 8 pounds more, well I don't want for sure the bad fat that will came with my body weight raise Maybe 2 day's won't be an issue, but I think I have been too bad with my eating choice of this weekend and I don't want my brain and mind to think that I will allowed them to eat those scrapt things.. I'm working so dawn hard that all the scrapt food at the cottage that the Hunter's bring's will go to the garbage. Gotta clean the food overthere. There is no temptation at home, so watch out the cottage clean up on food on my next weekend

MONDAY UPDATE

WORKOUT OF THE DAY

Today's I work my shoulder's in the gym, but all my data is in my car and I'm too lazy to go outside to take them. My workout was really good, working with shoulder's press machine, lateral raise, front raise and lying delt raise.

MEETING WITH MY NEW PT

Today's I have met and talk with my new Personal Trainer's, Mr. Jimmy who is preparing his self for Montreal Bodybuilding Competion in next May 2005. So he will gave me my new program's workout this Thursday's. He took a look at my pics and will be working in regard's with my weakness body part. So he want's to work harder with my shoulders, he said he want them bigger, he said that he will make me train hard with my abs I HATE IT, I HATE IT, and he promissed that in 2 months, I will see a teardrop in my quads He doesn't really want me to get bigger everywhere but he would like to add some mass into my quads. So if I understand rougthly his plan attack for my legs, eventually, he will add a 10 minutes bicyle after my legs workout He want a clean definition muscle and work to separated my muscles , not really bigger but quality muscles he said.

He will prepare my self for the next March 2005 competition fitness, that's what he said and he said that I might be okay for it and if ever I'm not too bad, bodybulding Competition in May 2005 if he think's I'm okay, if I'm not ready, he thinks that next year might be okay. But I think I'm not ready for bodybuilding competition, no big muscle enough anyway.

Anyhow, I'm not telling my self that I will do March 2005 competition, I will still continue to work hard and follow his advise, and If I ever feel I'm ready, that my mind is ready too and this is really what I want, I will do it. So I'll be preparing my self for that competition or for my trip to Cuba for Next March 2005 and if everything seems to be okay, well I'll probably do that competition. But for now, ONE DAY AT THE TIME, and no stress, no nothing, just feeling happy with what I am currently doing and time's will tell.

He was really happy to see that my knowlege about nutrition was great. So he said at least we won't have to go through all that process. But he wants me to bring him my eating plan weekly, so he can be able to put and eyes on it and make some corrections if correction are needs. He has a special way of having his shake after his PWO Carbs first only (high pics) then 30 minutes after, protein shake only, no carbs. So no risk that protein will be breakdown into glucose while I'm completly depleted after my workout. Seem to make sense in a way, avoiding protein to be brokedown into glucose, but I'm already mixing everything together. WHAT IS HIS SCIENCE BEHIND ALL THIS

Anyhow, it will be great working with someone, who seem to have already achieve a great shape and who is conscious about his nutrition and could be having different way of thinking. Letting my mind open in regard's towards his experience, I think that I would befenit from his experience.

So, I'll keep working hard with him and will see what will happen in 4 months, competition or not, it is okay with me, as long I'm feeling happy with my self, body and mind and achievements.

EATIN PLAN TO BE UPDATE TONIGHT.

Ok So since I'm feeling a little blah... today I did not do any maths and here is what happen:

Meal 1: 1 whole egg, 5 white, 32g oatmeal
Meal 2: Pwo: whey shake, 1/2 banana, 32 gr oatmeal
Meal 3: 106gr salmon, 1/2 cup mix brocoli and cauliflower, 10 ml Udo's blend oil
Snack 4: 28 almonds
Meal 5: 8 oz sirloin steak, mix salad, 10 ml Udo's blend oil, 1 medium tomato, cucumber

And I am still feeling blah..... it's one of those day, that I can explain, feeling blah and tired. well feeling for doing nothing at all. WELLL................a BLAH DAY.....................

Hi Kim, I haven't posted before in your journal but I've been reading it . You are doing really well!! Great stuff!

there is just somethign I don't understand - how come your offsetting weight on assisted pull ups ( back training) reaches 125lbs? You don' even weigh that much, right? Or am I reading it wrongly?

Thank's Dalida fo the pull ups, well it's my real first time I was doing pull ups with assist machine because at the other gym there were no machine like that and the only thing I was able to do is 2 sad pull up and all the rest all negatif pull-up

So that's why with my second set of pull-ups with 125 pounds it was so easy, easy, easy to do now I understand how it works. So it mean that I have to take a weight under my body weight

So thank's for visiting and don't be shy if you see something weird to let me know
