What I’ve been up to!
Well here it is 5 months after competing and things have been crazy. I thought I wanted to continue competing so I went on a massive bulk over the summer. Bulking during the summer isn’t fun cuz I like to be lean during the summer but, oh well….ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Anyways I cut my cardio out completely and started eating around 4500 calories a day…I also wasn’t as strict as normal and if the opportunity arose to eat some junk I just said to hell with it and ate it. All in all I was pleased with my bulk as I hit 195 lb by mid August. I was 147 on stage at my show in April so I gained some serious weight to say the least. I wanted to get up to 200 lb but at 195 I was so damn uncomfortable I had to start cutting. So here I am a month and a half later at 176 lb and 5% bodyfat. At 195 I was up to 8%. Back in March I was 155 lb at 5% so I had some great gains through the bulk to say the least and as I lean up I can see a more than notable difference in the size of my delts, back, and legs…all places where I felt like I needed to grow. I love the look of fuller, more well rounded delts that continue to POP as I get even leaner. Competing is pretty much out the window for me now as I don’t have a real desire for it at this time….maybe down the road. It was cool to do it once and who knows, maybe one day I will again but for now I’m just chillin I guess. I would like to start staying super lean year round as I’ve had some opportunities arise in the fitness modeling industry and to me that would be much more fulfilling and lucrative than amateur bodybuilding. Anyways, that’s what I’ve been up to the last 5 months or so. I need to get some new pics posted on my profile and they will come soon!!!
