So it seems I’ve been doing the Muscle and Fitness workouts and such as of late. The current issue has a gain 10lbs in 4 weeks plan. The workout schedule is already similar to the one I’m doing myself so I am just going to follow the meal plan. They have it figured out for a 180 guy, so I had to go in and make some adustments, but the key part was that I was supposed to consume 25cal/lbs bw. That puts me at 3000 cal!! Wow, haha ok thats a ton of food! But it’s all good…I think haha. I’m going to be very precise with my pw, dw, and postworkout shakes too! I’ve never really taken anything during, I just tried to focus on the before and after!

So the end of my 4 weeks will put me into March, haha right when the Manitoba Novice will be and everyone will be cut up! ugh haha, well I would think this is all clean healthy eating…just a lot of it so I shouldn’t get too pudgy! As long as I don’t have to buy any larger of jeans than I’m already wearing!

Allllrighty then I’ll keep all of you posted!

So no gym today, rest day…..and I went for a well deserved massage! My legs are still slightly sore from my leg workout from Monday. I have been following a workout from Muscle and Fitness that focuses on the quads. To my regret I am not able to take a good progress picture as I’m in need of a new camera! BUT, let me tell you I can swear I’m seeing some good development, especially in my inner quads! I have never used the leg extension machine so many times (3 times!) in one leg workout! I have another 2 weeks to go and then I’ll switch it up, but I really think this has been a great routine and would recommend it if you feel like your quads need a good kick! I have the workout posted in my other blog!
