I weighed myself yesterday and I was at 170 lbs and 19% bf. My weight is dropping pretty fast, I just hope that my bf does as well. I am eating pretty light but still getting plenty of protein. I am also doing some pretty intense cardio.

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

I am now up to 173. I just need to pack on two more pounds, and  then I will take measurements and reprt new stats. I also increased my bf% to 20. This is not good. I will need to think about how to bring it back down.

Cutting out all cardio seemed to hjelp me pick up a pound this week. I am happy about this, especially because my bf% did not increase. I am hoping to gain another pound next week. I am holding off on taking measurements until I hit 175.

I also took Jeff’s advice and cut back on the carbs and did a little bit of cardio to keep my bf % down. All in all, I kept my bf% at 19% which is good, but I actually dropped a pound and am now at 169.

I’ve never had trouble gaining weight before! I’ve been eating my normal food and adding 1,000 calories a day in whey protein. I would really appreciate any suggestions of food that will help me add mass without gaining bf.

Thanks!
