Update on my goal to add 10 lbs of LBM and track my stats
I hit 175!! I was actually up to 178 for a couple of days. I actually was not expecting to hit this weight until the end of April, but I am Ok with hitting it early. The problem is that my bf% is still too high at 20%. So, I am goring to try and cut for a couple of weeks to see if I cane get it down to 18, and then add the lean weight that I need to hit 175 lbs at a bf% of 18. From there I will cut hard t get down to a 15% Bf or lower and be ready for summer.
I was bulking for about three months. I ate about 180 grams of protein per day, and plenty of additional food, without really worrying about carb or fat intake. It was a fun time. I did no cardio, but I lifted heavy once per week for each body part. Because I wanted to gain size in my chest and my quads, I worked these body parts heavy twice per week.
My stat changes at this point are below:
Weight 157 to 175 +18 lbs cool enough
BF% 16 to 20 +4% not too cool
Arm 16.75" to 17" cool
Forearm 13.25" to 13.25" no change
Quads 22.5" to 24" + 1.5" inches very cool
Calves 16" to 16" no change
Hips 37" to 38" + 1", but I suspect it could be muscle because I did heavy squats
Waist 32" to 34" + 2" not cool, but it should come off when I cut
Chest 45" to 47" + 2" really cool
Shoulders 50" to 52" + 2" also really cool
