Good news, I am progressing towards my goal of 220 pounds with each week while still maintaining my waist size. I'm currently up to 209 pounds which is a 4 pound increase from where I started. My waist is still sitting at 36 inches, and I got my BF% checked which is sitting at 15%. Eating clean while bulking feels a lot better than doing a dirty bulk especially when it comes to the amount of energy I have to push through my workouts. The rest of my cycle should be arriving here in a few days, and then it's about to hit the fan and get out of control! In a good way of course.
I'm still working with a high rep program, rotating supersets with single sets, then back to supersets. However, with this bulk and being someone who has had issues gaining weight in the past, I have limited my time in the gym. By reducing my time in the gym and the amount of exercises, I am still getting a pump with the supersets but burning less calories. This makes it easier for me to eat food and replenish the lost calories and still be eating on a caloric positive. I definitely see me reaching my goal of 220 pounds by the end of this cycle, if not more. Then, the cutting phase will begin and the show prep!
I've also been adding this real cool, and new supplement which is a steroid (sarcasm) 5mgs of creatine to my shakes. With my gym time early in the morning, I usually make a shake when I get home while cooking breakfast just to have something to hold me over until the food is done. I just drink my shake straight out of the blender, as it consists of 4 oz of oatmeal (or 3/4 cups of carbo gain) 2 scoops of protein, 2 tbsp of peanut butter, and milk. When I get sick of drinking water, I drink some juice or throw another BCAA flavored drink in there to help break up the monotony of drinking the same thing over and over again. However, I still manage to hit a gallon to 1.5 gallons of water a day.
