End of the First Month of the Contest
Well the first month of the contest has come and gone.
I think it’s been a good one. I’ve gained about 2 1/2 pounds since the start, and have made some major strength gains in every lift that matters, even though the muscle size gains have been good, but nothing to write home about. I’d like to re-adapt my workout more to a general 10-12 hypertrophy amount of reps to see if I can build some size to go along with the new strength. But, I’m still scared of really bulking hard. I just can’t stand the thought of gaining fat. I’ve tried a volume training approach the last few workout, but I just don’t think I’m ready for that, yet. I’m so exhausted by the middle of the workout that the end seems to almost be a waste, as I have no power left. I’ve just about decided to go back to Jimi’s workout and follow it to the end of the contest and hope for the best adaptation wise.
I don’t want to do a full set of pics until the end of November, just because I want to see just a straight beginning to end change, if that makes sense. I’m hoping to surprise myself. But, I did post a couple of quick bi pics I snapped today. These are creatine free (I just finished the off cycle) so there isn’t a lot of size difference apparent at the moment, with the water from the creatine gone. But, I have gained a bit more fullness and width, I think.
