    Today i will do my heavy Leg Workout.

    whenever i find my new camera i will post new pics ive gained 9-10bs since i started bulking im in the 3rd week, ive gained around an inch in arms and chest and shoulders... pretty good start hope it continues..

    but here are b4 measurements and after

    arms : 11 after 12
    chest:36 after 37
    HIPS : 37.25 after38
    waist : 31
    Thighs : 21 after 22
    calves:14.5 after 15

    Optimum 100% Whey Protein

    Bodybuilding.com - Optimum 100% Whey Protein - With Faster-Acting HYDROWHEY! On sale now!

    i got the 10lbs a while back maybe 2 years ago, doesn't have expiration date on it, it seems to be working great. i got maybe 1/4 of the bag left so i will get some whey isolate protien post workout.

    i woke up at 5 and didnt feel good, my stomach was acting all funny, it reminded me when im gonna start puking,i was very dehydrated so i drank some water and a couple of mins later i was in teh bathroom puking really hard it was very discussing,i had puke up my nose and some stuck in my throat, i had to puke 4 times already and i only sipped some water, Im thinking the puking is over now i need to stick with water for a couple of hours and hope i dont puke anymore then eat some bananas. My body just feels so sore it looks like i have a fever too.i took a t3 and it seems to help with the overall pain. i measured my waist and its still at 31. my weight is around 157 with cothes 158.7 with clothes, i measured my arm and its still around 11.8, i just hope mybody still maintains my gains in mass and strength, i will post full measurements later on.

    its weird the only thing i ate b4 sleeping were 4 eggs. and i waited a good 45 b4 going to bed. a similar experience happened to me a a couple of years back and i seem to get stomach flus whenever im bulking or gaining some weight not sure if my body is trying to prevent me from doing that or what ?
