pic looks good great progressStart of cut was sitting at 206lbs and the leanest I feel I have gotten was on December 16th at 211 I'll take another physique pic once I get to my old gym the new place I've been training at is more of a commercial gym less hardcore and don't have a place to snap a good pic, I go here since my training partner has a pass for this one.
Your killin it brother!!! Squats pretty impressive!!!
Forgot how fun training is when your in a surplusthis bulk is going to be fun
You and me both ! Crazy what we can achieve under optimal conditions.
it’s wild, I dig the freaky look lol veins everywherefirst week of the bulk is always the best. you're so full of energy but haven't gained the fat yet it's awesome. and nice to see you focusing on eccentric movement it's the best possible tempo for muscle growth and so many people neglect it.
@Losiol the bad sleep will impact you but your diet is on point so that will be betterSleep: 3h 40m absolute trash
Morning fasted bw: 222.4
I've got a little bit of extra time so I'll update you guys on my bulking diet. Changed a few things around. I'm a lot more flexible now however more or less this is what I'll be eating for the next 12-16 weeks. Once weight starts plateauing ill be increasing the calories. Goal now is to have a steady and slow bulk while increasing metabolism speed.

Honestly those 3 hours must have been all deep sleep, that work out felt really good as well as my productivity during the day was probably at 85%.@Losiol the bad sleep will impact you but your diet is on point so that will be better
did you nap during day? you should
training perfect for the amount of sleep you got
Luckily I'm working throughout New Years so by the time ill be heading to bed the fireworks will probably stop but I'll take Monday as a full recovery day thinking about getting a deep tissue massage, my mobility is lacking and can feel lots of tightness.hopefully you're able to sleep okay this weekend I know there's gonna be a lot of noise everywhere with fireworks and parties
Couldn't agree more, as of late when I wake up way to early I just get pissed and that keeps me from falling back as sleepDeffo need better sleep
I’m finding out that the lighter I get the less sleep I need. I am averaging 4.5 hours per night. I am losing 3-4 lbs per week and the kicker is I am getting stronger every workout. Go figure?Couldn't agree more, as of late when I wake up way to early I just get pissed and that keeps me from falling back as sleep![]()

My gym is about 30 min but I don’t mind the drive gets me in the mindsetvery nice gym I like it how far is it from your house
Sleeps getting progressively better, training is getting really fun. Testing new strength levels wanna see how far I can push myself this coming yearHow do you feel after the sleep?
I’m still kinda recovering from an acl injury in my right knee so trying not to make it any worse even when pushing more weight, I get more depth when I squat lighter and emphasize hypertrophyYour squats are heavy but can you get more depth on those ? Or is it hamstring bothering you so you squatted high? You get more out of a squat if you can get closer to parallel. Engage you glutes and hamstring core! Nice job.![]()
Almost 6 months agoYou should be wearing knee sleeves. How long ago did you injure your knee?
Make sure you stretch good before and after. Also ice your knees after your workout when you get home. Warming up on a stationary bike before your squats also a good idea.Almost 6 months agoI have sleeves but never wear I was thinking about taking them out tbh good call
That makes sense. So young ACL Injury. Sorry man. At least your squatting. We’re not squating cuz shoulder injury so I get it. But yes gotta protect your body.I’m still kinda recovering from an acl injury in my right knee so trying not to make it any worse even when pushing more weight, I get more depth when I squat lighter and emphasize hypertrophy
It is what it is, good part is we’re all working around the injury and not letting them get the best of us!That makes sense. So young ACL Injury. Sorry man. At least your squatting. We’re not squating cuz shoulder injury so I get it. But yes gotta protect your body.
Same. I have to get injections in mine to keep the pain awayI injured my shoulder once and I never want to go through that again.
What are you taking ? I read that bpc is good but I’d like something that would help actually heal rather than numbSame. I have to get injections in mine to keep the pain away
I am due for another cortisone shot in my shoulder pretty soon.Same. I have to get injections in mine to keep the pain away
Yeah brother I tore my tendon in the shoulder joint in 3 different places it was wild lol, just with regaining full mobility took 1 year after surgerySame. I have to get injections in mine to keep the pain away

Oh yeah the grind will never stop!Sucks dealing with the past injuries but just keep plugging away. Great advice from others on how to continue as safely as possible. Hopefully that thing gets fully recovered.
Thanks!

Todays rest day, 5 days of training behind me although I feel I could keep goingMorning woke up felt like I got hit by a train but that subsided quickly. Off completely today from work as well so I'm not doing anything but resting today.

350g protein
Calories will be around 2800-3000 for today.

Honestly not too bad, as long as I get 6h I’m fine. Anything over 6 is amazingHow do you feel on that amount of sleep?
Anything over 5 hours and I have a hard time getting to sleep the next night. I am averaging 4hr 8min this week. Getting high quality Deep Sleep and REM. Also taking afternoon naps. I notice when I have low carb days I dont sleep much that night.Honestly not too bad, as long as I get 6h I’m fine. Anything over 6 is amazing
I realized a trend if I’m borderline “overtraining” or have insufficient rest periods between my workouts my sleep tends to drop significantly. I took today off again just so I can go harder on legs tmrw.Anything over 5 hours and I have a hard time getting to sleep the next night. I am averaging 4hr 8min this week.
