MASSive

[tiramisu]

I finally broke 230 last week and my only advice is don't look. Pictures are great at showing conditioning but generally useless for showing muscularity (mine look horrid but I've added a lot of strength and hopefully 10 pounds of muscle), focus on the strength and enjoy the food.

The truth is you can't see the muscle under the fat and things will get squigy but that's the price we pay. I'm sure people will get on the lean growth mantra on you but I personally can't imagine being able to put on significant muscle without also putting on some fat to go with it.

I get to stop eating on new year's woo hoo!! Enjoy the eating while you can.

LOL... thanks all!!

It's hard wrapping the old brain around the need to get bigger to get BIGGER.. lol... but yeah I'm enjoying the food now!

Ricky.. yes, Im natural. well, I take glutamine to try and hold muscle, protein shakes, CLA and just started AGK (nitric oxide?) My diet was more "normal" 3 months ago, but I wan't making any gains... just burning it all too fast, so it got a bit more food, then a bit more food, then a bit more food... lol now it's stupid, all I do is eat!

I'll be eating my way through January and Feb!!... uurrgghh, lol... My Trainer says he's like to see me hit 135!! (there will NOT be any pictures of me being all obese! lol)

I keep telling myself.. it's all about one day!

Damn girl you look sexy no matter what

You should do a shoot for suicide girls.

Have fun bulking

Okeeedokee...
so, I have to get my BF% done on Friday... it's the same method and the same person doing the measurements as when I started bulking... I am weighing about 9 pounds more, and I was at 12.9 (I think) % BF last test which was the end of september...

so... I guess it's time to see if this is paying off... kinda... Im HOPING to not have a huge increase in BF%, but the weight increase... I think that would translate into more mass!!.. right?... more lean muscle anyway..

well... I'll update on Friday or when I get my BF% results... or I might jump off a bridge if it's REAL ugly!.. if I do... nice knowing y'all!
(just joking... im not suicidal.. really... just a little chunky... )

I'm sure it will go fine. If you are up 9 pounds then you should have gained a decent amount of muscle.

You look fabulous BTW.

ok.. so the official weigh in I am actually only 5 pounds up in weight, and 0.2% increase in Bodyfat... so I guess when all is said and done... I have a muscle increase of about 4 pounds!... I'm VERY happy about this!!

good stuff!

New Diet and program yesterday... MORE FOOD!!!

uurrgghhh

last chance to put on some mass before I get to cut I guess...Is it bad to eat while on the treadmill?

Interesting comment. How much cardio do they have you doing? I went cardio free this last season and while I'm sure it wasn't a terribly good idea from a fitness perspective it did seem to make putting on weight a little easier.

thoughts?
