Bulkus interuptus!

Ah... always a good reason to pull out early.

 

[mama's boy]

So, anyone else in b4 I begin? Or are you all afraid of me and my crazy ways?

Body comp results tomorrow.

Here is my headstart...an excerpt from my journal (private)

Yesterday

360 P 100 C 140 F

OK....I think I've got it figured!

I AM BULKING, MINI TIME!

The bloat and uncomfortable gut feeling was caused by too many carbs, "and that's what a pump feels like!"
I was at 120-150 C and it was too much. Just lowered it to 80-100 and raised F to 140 from 120, what a world of difference! I'm looking better each day as "I'm filling" just don't want to be "Spillling!"

My w8 stabilized in the last two days, down one pound at 212...on 360 P 80 C and 140 F...so I'm slowly heading to 400 P 100 C and 150 F.......

Example meal one today : 68 P 22 C 20 F, meal two is about to go down at 65P 12 C and 25F

added creatine (been off for a year)
may add an open sample jar of T-100

So time horizon 8/26 -31


Goals:

Stay Lean, under 8%
End up near 218-220
Lifts up 10-15%

 

[mama's boy]

OK, Diet and Training as promised, here's diet first:

It's basically going to be 200 P/100 C/200 F. (3100 cals)

This means I'll pretty much stay in a ketogenic mode, except 100 g carbs post workout. The macros will probably change on the weekend... perhaps a few extra carb and protein meals in there. Obviously fat cals would drop a tad if I did this. In other words I'll eat what the f*ck I want to eat! LOL

I'm not being particularly strict, but I don't want to bloat and I dont want to get super fat. 100 carbs a day is an absolute max for me.

On off days the diet may vary slightly- if I drop cals it will be from carbs, not fat or protein. This would leave me at approx. 2700 cals

Why the high fat? Well, it's not so much to get into ketosis... this is unlikely. It's more to add extra calories, I think 3100 is a good benchmark on training days. Also I like the energy I get on higher fat dieting. I've tried lower fat or higher carb and I feel like a sloth all day.

SUPPS?

Well, as for actual supplements (not just vitamins and minerals), I take very little. Some ALA and CLA when I eat carbs. Caffeine, green tea and ginseng if I need a workout boost. Beverly Intl Liver Tablets (no exact science here, I just take a lot of them). Protein powders when needed (egg and occasional whey)... otherwise it's real food. Syntrax Swole creatine-matrix thingy for the last month. Glutamine too. I have some ZMA that I should get rid of, but I may save this for when I cut or maintain.

GOAL?

The goal of this "bulk" (first person to think of a better term wins a prize!) is to gain some muscle, maintain BF% (or lower it... tee hee ). Also, maintain my sanity (what's left of it), and crush DP and all his furry might!

Also, see those pics of Nike Girl!

BODY COMP RESULTS?

As promised, here is my BF% as of 8/15/02:

Weight: 185 lbs
Height: 68 in (5'8")

Lean Mass: 169.407
Fat Mass: 15.593

BF: 8.42%!

Funny how I feel fat at 8.42% bodyfat? Is that crazy or what?

I've been doing a little light bulking so far. This means PW insulin and one other high carb meal later that day. Nothing major, though. Also been doing HST for training instead of HIT if that's of any value or importance.

THE RULES?

No rules! Well, not really. I will stop when and if I hit 195. Hopefully sooner. I only get body comped every 8 weeks or more for accuracy's sake (plus it costs 20 bucks). So, 195 is a good benchmark. It's around there that my clothes will not fit anymore. LOL

The ultimate goal is a minimum another 5 pounds lean body mass, with a MAXIMUM of another 3 pounds fat gain. This would leave me at an 18 pound fat mass, which is a reasonable target for a 12-14 week or longer cut (allowing for essential fat of 3-4%, plus I don't really care to be *that* lean unless I decide to compete or something)

ALSO, WHAT I WONT EAT?

Carbs: Well, there are rules here. Wheat and bread is basically out 100%. Once or twice a month and I'm OK. Fruit is out (I am convinced I have intolerence here, that 1 in 10k condition, anybody know more info?). Sugar/sucrose in super small amounts. Other than that, all carbs are on the table.

Protein: I will not eat chicken or pork. Not sure why, I just have no desired to eat chicken or pork. My preferrence of protein sources is beef and fish, I have occasional trouble with eggs- not to mention I just don't really like them. Milk products are out especially lactose! Whey and other powders are OK, but I am not fond of these. Basically I'm sticking to just beef and/or fish, with occasional eggs thrown in for variety.

Fat: All dietary fats are on the table! In fact, consumption is encouraged. My goal is to eat at least 50% fat every day, with protein a constant, and carbs fluctuating.

Anyways.... LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

That's funny, I liked you better when you were my protege!

Also funny because after the gr8 "Humming Bird Attack of 2001", when I caught a humminmg bird flying through the store, and saved the lovely "Herbal V" (she had a bird phobia), from certain death or worse, I was dubbed "The Furry Prince!"

But I digress, OK LOSER......my BW is up 3.5 pounds to 215.5, and my lifts are through the roof (gotta love creatine after a year off). Increased hang clean to press, and front, side, and rear laterals by 10-15%. I think I lost "A Cut" somewhere, butt it's hard to tell when you have so many! :
