Bulking

I think it has been about 5 weeks of bulking and it has been going great. This morning I weighed myself and I was at 174lbs with 18.5% BF. I will be bulking for 3 more rounds of my workout routine (36 workouts) which might take another 4-5 weeks. Hopefully I will be at 180 lbs with 19% BF.

My goal is to keep BF below 20%. Afterward, I'll start cutting and try to bring it down to 15% or less before bulking again. 

I never tried bulking before but I must say, you gotta try it because I think it is working!!!

2011 NY Resolution

Happy New Year! Let 2011 be the year you reach your fitness goals!!

My 2011 NY Fitness resolution
Weight: 170 lbs
Body Fat: 13%

Actually, these are more aligned to the goals I have posted on this blog (I know) but it doesn't hurt to improve upon them and write about it to help visualize. However, I am only going to focus on weight and body fat as I think these 2 are excellent indicators of muscle growth. More weight and less fat means more muscle so that means my muscle would grow from its current status.

I am currently planning to start a 6-8 week bulking process. This will be my first ever and it was taken from the Muscle & Fitness December 2010 issue.

Workout Plan

Originally, it was posted as a 6-day workout but due to my curent schedule I can't work out 6 days a week. Maybe 5 times a week or 4 times. It basically rotates through 3 workouts.

Meal Plan

Muscle & Fitness suggested the following and I adjusted it based on the food I normally eat and my wieght:

Workout Days

20-21 calories per lb of weight. 40% from proteins, 40% from carbs, 20% from fat

Rest Days

16 calories per lb of weight. 40% from proteins, 30% from carbs, 30% from fat

*Note: the total calories are off based on calories from protein, carbs and fat.

Last Post of 2010!

Happy holidays!

This will be the last post for the year as not much has changed. However, the new year will be different with a new program and new diet.

However, for the last few weeks I have been working out hard core. I took a week off but I have done my 3 days of week of workout and I have been eating fairly well. I have not gained weight but I have not lost any and I think my body is a little more tones.

I think I have reached a plateau and am going to change it up next year that is why I have been keeping the current workout until the end of the year.
