  Well today was my 3rd weigh, in for trying to gain some weight, My weight is up to 178.6.  So now I have gained 5.7 lbs, which averages out to 1.9 lbs per week.  Trying to fight off a stomach virus and a cold this week, hopefully I can get through it without missing any workouts.7 more weeks of this cycle, still trying to decide wether to do the 10 weeks of gaining or maybe do the 4 weeks up and then 2 weeks down then 4 more weeks up on my weight, trying to keep my body guessing what is next.

 Starting to feel lethargic, may be overtraining somewhat, if I can make it 1 more week on this cycle I’m going to try a different rotation on my workouts to try and keep my energy up. I have upped my preworkout supplement to try and help, but this is just a quick fix, need a long term solution.  So changing routine should correct that. 

  Stress level at work is increasing so there is always some obstacle to over come to improve, so trying to keep that motivation positive.

Well I’m 2 weeks into trying to gain some weight.  I have gained 3.4 lbs, that averages out at 1.7lbs over week.  My goal is to gain 1.5lbs per week over a 10 week period. I’m keeping my diet very clean and limit most of my carb intake  no later than 3:00.  After that I try to keep the carbs extremely low.  So hopefully I can minimize the fat increase and get primarily muscle. 

Still haven’t had a change to get a body fat %.  So I’m watching in the mirror for changes in the wrong places.  Still can’t decide which tools to get to monitor BF%.

 Any comments or pointer would be appreceated. 

 Old timer trying to hang with the young guns.

Well I decided to stop my cutting for a 6-pack, I feellike I’m getting to small.  My weight was down to 172.9. 

So as of 8/1 I’m going to try to do a 10 week cycle, I’ve got some new supplements and changed up my routine.  So now only time will tel.

 I have been on the new routine and eating like a horse, ( I’m an extremely hard gainer ) but I had my 1 week weigh in today.    174.8 lbs, so I’ve gained 1.9 lbs, its probably just my body adjusting from 2000 calories daily to 3600 calories daily, but its a start.

I would  like to make some friends on here to help with advice.  Being middle aged, I need to train a little different than the young guys, so any advice is welcome.

Next update in a week.
