Well I took some pics one month into my bulk.  Definitely nothing to brag about so far.  It is tough to see fading abs after you worked so hard for them :-(  I feel thicker (all around but mostly in my legs) and have made some good strength gains to date.  I was really bulking pretty clean until this past week when I starting eating out for lunch more and really felt like crap for most of this week because of it.  I have to get back to making better meal choices, even though I am bulking.  I also have to get a better camera too because my Treo doesn’t really take good pictures.  Anyway, I am not too sure how long I will stick with this bulking thing because I definitely liked my lean look as opposed to my bulking look!

Well I started bulking about 20 days ago and it looks like I’ve gained 4-5 pounds already!  Hopefully there is some muscle in those gains… LOL!  I don’t look any bigger but I can never tell.  I’ve always had big legs and I have been working out legs twice in my 6 day cycle so maybe I’ve gained some muscle there.  The abs are slowly fading but still visible.  The next couple of days will be tough with all of the feasting going on.  I guess I’ll have to get some new progress pics up before I start chowing down tomorrow!  Happy Thanksgiving!

After reading up it seems that the fall and winter seasons are the time when everyone bulks up.  Now I am trying to decide if this is something that I should do too.  It has been a while since I have seen my abs like this and now I am afraid of losing them!  I truly enjoy the lean look that I have going; however, I wouldn’t mind a little more mass.  I have kind of mastered my eating habits under the cutting phase but am worried about my abilities in bulking.  Also, the winter poses another issue for me as a CPA… busy season!  Usually I am working 80 hour weeks and finding time to work out is certainly going to be challenging.  I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, experiences, or plans related to bulking up.
