Starting To See Changes
This week things have really begun to turn around. Weight is progressing up slowly, and depending on food/water intake I’m anywhere from 202-206lbs on average. I’m going to have to go shopping very soon for some new jeans soon and already had to get some new XXL shirts. (The ironly is that next year I’ll need to go back down in size when I diet down). Strength in the gym is on a steady incline and overall fullness is noticeably increasing.
Diet wise I’ve had to increase my simple carbs and am having to get more of my calories in shakes and fluids just because pushing the clean food is getting difficult to do. Having more simple sugars is also keeping my energy up more throughout the day and a good kick come workout time. Still aiming for around 4500 calories a day, but soon will be pushing that up to 5000. The main change from past bulks is that I’ve eliminated most all dairy instead of using it in shakes to up the calories. As a result I’m retaining a lot of my vascularity and a drier thin skin look.
The rest of the year I’m going to be upping the volume aiming for 4×12 on just about everything. Legs will have to be split up into two days again to fit the volume in.
That’s about it for now. Let’s see how this plays out!

XXL? Dang. That is a big change from your "before" pic.

Moved up to XXL? Great and from looking at your strategy here that’s should only be the beginning. Keep up the great work!
