Saturday in-in the park…
I thought it was the fourth of July-i…
Ok…that was weird…that song just popped into my head…anyways…Saturday morning…just finished my protein pancakes made with fresh blueberries…kinda tasted like blueberry cobbler, yummy, and my coffee…said I was gonna stop the coffee habit, but ya know…I just don’t WANT to right now…gotta work arms for 2nd time this week later today…bi’s, tri’s and shoulders…the last time was so brutal, I just can’t wait til hubby gets home and we head to the gym…really, no sarcasm there at all….I really can’t wait…the things I look forward to :)
I have a question for anyone that wants to chime in…
I’m on a mission to put on some muscle…haven’t decided exactly how much, but I have a lot of time to do it…at least til the end of the year so no hurry. I want to add as little fat with it as possible. I know, I know, isn’t that everyone’s dream? I know some fat is inevitable, but seems to me with a clean diet that it could at least be minimized. Now…I like to educate myself and have been trying to answer this question for the last week…there is so much conflicting information out there…so…just want to know what has worked diet-wise for those of you looking to put on muscle…high protein/low carb? High carb/low protein? Carb and protein in about the same ratios? What percentages of each? And, what is a reasonable goal? 1-lb per week? 2-lbs per month?
Give me your two cents worth, please!

high protein high carb will add "weight", but honestly its a good place to start to kickstart musclebuilding. You can monitor the proigress on a 2 week basis with falt calipers and such, also you will gain some fat in the beginning, but if you keep working hard, you will see the added mass of muscle and even some shedding of the fat as you burn more calories thorught the day, etc

We’ve already spoke about the diet thing but I just wanted to add that Saturday in The Park is one of those annoying songs that you can’t really stand but once you hear it you can’t stop singing the dumb thing!! LOL!! Believe it or not though I had that 45 when I was a kid. You do remember 45’s don’t you??? LOL!
