No whining

alright. today is a rest day. but here's a bit of a progress report.

lately my pants have been fitting a little tighter than i want them to, so i've been trying carb cycling for the past week. so far it's a lot easier than i thought it'd be. i eat carbs everyday, but on rest days, like today, i limit them to green veggies and sweet potatoes except for oatmeal at breakfast.
so far i'm liking it!

today i put a shirt on that i haven't worn in over a week. the sleeves felt noticeably tighter around my bis/tris

today i was changing out the water cooler jug at work, and that jug today felt lighter to me than it's ever felt before. all those deads and rack pulls are payin' off.

also tonight i'm taking update pictures - it's been 8 weeks since i started my bulk. i'm looking forward to comparing the before and now pics.

Pictures are good! Yeah, we have one of those water jug coolers at my office also... they aren't light, that's for sure .

countryboy · 04-24-2008, 09:07 AM

WOW!

Great looking workouts!

Way to go..

goob · 04-24-2008, 09:32 AM

Right. From now on, any attempts to take the good name of goob in jest, will be met by a swift posting of this picture:

goob · 04-24-2008, 11:36 AM

Later,

hah, i wish i was through with the test. it's next saturday. and i have been working out, fyi, just been too busy to post. i've got an phone interview this week, the gmat next weekend, and another phone interview the week after

ahem. now that goob has had his revenge on me and posted the picture AGAIN (cookie monster and gonzo) though i did nothing to cause second reprisal, i trust he feels his retribution is done. are we cool, goob?

i hope i'm not making a mistake by posting these update pictures. anyway... this is nine weeks into my bulk. i'm seeing more muscle definition in the pictures but i feel bigger than i think i look in the pictures, if that makes any sense. from the first picture you can probably tell i'm a lefty since my right pec isn't as developed as my left one.

never done a bulk before so, not really sure if i'm making good progress or not. i like the difference i'm seeing and i'm feeling a lot stronger.

here's the 'before' back picture:

and the 'now' picture with a little bit of lighting adjustments:

i can really see tell a difference in the before and now picture with the back picture, but not so much with the others for some reason...

i'll post my w/o's later when i get some more time.
