Bodybuilding PMS???
Okay, okay….. I must be a woman….because each week I find I change my mind about how I am feeling…..(if you are feeling frustrated with me….just imagine how those closest must feel..pity them). So, I probably don’t have to write the next several words to this blog… you already know I am going to talk about bulking and how it makes me feel big and sluggish and how creatine definately bloats you….and how I loved the feeling of being lean….. so, there you have it. Bottom line is: I don’t like being big and soft, but I don’t want to be a scrawny lean either. How do you balance all this?? How do you put it together?
Can you gain mass and lean out? Or do you have to get big, puffy and soft to end up with sizable musle gains????? I liken this issue to dabbling in the stock market. Some people have the tolerance to risk dollars….they invest in high risk stocks that can reap much reward. Others, because of their temperment, need to pick the solid safe route to increasing dollars…the gains may be slower, but the stress of the risk is low, making it more enjoyable for these types.
I think I am like the later when it comes to gaining muscle. I need to play it safe….stay leaner and take longer for the muscle gains…. (so, is this a possible approach??? I do not know?!)
Some things I have changed this week:
1) Planning to eat VERY clean the next two weeks
2) Have added flaxseed oil to my shakes
3) Have added 1 tsp of creatine to my shakes
4) Have started taking 7-Keto beverly product….
5) Will increase my cardio moderately from 3- 20 minutes sessions a week to 3- 30 minute sessions per week and 1-45 minute session
6) Will continue to lift HEAVY…..
will this help? I don’t know??? do you???

Jules I think if you want to gain size…and I mean good size….then bulking is a necessary evil!! You have to eat to gain size and once you reach your goals you cut to regain that hard leanness. Kind of like being pregnant. You have to suffer through the pregnancy but once the baby is born it is sooo worth it. I too find bulking very difficult. It is so hard to eat 4000 clean calories everyday to gain the muscle I desire! Once you cut though and get that hard body with all that extra muscle it is so worth being soft for a couple of months!! Good luck my friend!! Remember all good things come with patience!!
