Yup same diet. thanks for reminding me. I was suppose to weigh and measure this past weekend. had to work and it messed up my mental calendar . I'll do it this weeknd . I'm pretty sure I've gained a couple more pounds . probably close to 184 I'd guess.
That would be about 15 lbs in 9 weeks.
 
DAMN!! 15lbs in 9 weeks!! Almost 2lbs per week.

Hmmmm , Thanks!
I just remembered , I weigh about 15 lbs more than I did the last time I was doing pullups so i did better than I thought.
 
I was about to say, your putting on weight and improving your pullups. That's awesome! When I put on weight I couldn't for the life of me figure out why my pullups were going down, LOL. Great Job!

yeah that was LAZY . I usually increase the weight and decrease the reps but was too lazy to walk around to the back of the machine to move the pin. Is that not LAZY ??? LOL

Have a great ab workout ! Wish I could be there :D Have fun this weekend ! Be safe!

I haven't been doing pull-ups lately, but on Power week I'll do it. I've lost some weight so hopefully I'll be able to do more :) Thanks for the Birthday wish, birthdays aren't the best for me though. You have a great 4th also!

Observations: For one I hope my wifes ability to measure is consistant( surely it is ).
Two- I hope I'm doing the math correctly !
Three - looks like when this BULK is over I might do a leg specialization program before i go back to a cut. The upper body is growing but not the legs. But I've always been that way. Any suggestions ?!
Four - definetly tell a difference in the way my shirts fit me in the arms and chest.
Five -Really loking forward to taking this new fat off to see what is really underneath.

Have a great 4th !
And to all you Canadian IM'er's , Hope you had a great Canada Day !

 
Awesome progress buddy! That is 13 pounds of muscle!!! Great! And very little fat added on. When you do cut, do it slowly so you don't loose your hard earned muscle :) My calves have not changed since I was in High School, no matter what I do with them :( I think that's fairly good progress growth on your legs, I'd be proud of it!
