My Plan
My competition 7 ½ months away, and I need to begin tracking my bodyfat and muscle gains to see if I am moving towards my goals. I looked at my workouts and I think that part is going well, I am getting stronger and making PR’s on almost a weekly basis, I feel like I am gaining some muscle too. So, after about 5 months of bulking, I am finally going to outline my goals and plan my attack, something I should have done much sooner.
My goals:
I want to be on stage Aug 9th, at around 8% bodyfat.
Thoughts:
When I started my mass gain five months ago, I must have miscalculated my calorie needs, I was eating too many calories and gained more fat than I would have liked. I need to start measuring my bodyfat and be more consistant on taking pictures. Hopefully, this will help me keep my bodyfat levels in check and make sure I am gaining the mass that I need to. I may take another look at my workouts, maybe a bodypart split instead of the upper/lower routine that I am currently doing. I am going to do some research on that too.
My Plan:
Adjust my calories to 1900-2000 (which is about 150/200 calories above maintenance) stay with a 40/40/20 split, but I will limit carbs in the evening. This should (with any luck) have me gaining lean mass, without increasing a lot of bodyfat.
Sundays (starting tomorrow) will be my check-in day. I will post my weight and measurements and post progress pic – monthly.
