Thanks guys. Life really is good right now even though I am getting really big (AKA fat) with this bulking. I am learning to push that phobia away and allow this process that time and space it needs. My next bulk will be so much more fun.
My pecs are still killing me. I feel like I got run over by a truck. I text messaged the trainer yesterday to complain that my pecs were sore and he texted back two simple words... "Candy Ass" Have I told you guys how much I hate him sometimes.
Today I did an amazing hamstring workout. I know it was amazing because I can feel the burn in the hammies already. Generally the hams (slow twitch muscles) don't feel sore for 1-2 days. I also know it was good because I did a few PRs today as well. I am feeling mega strong with all this food in my body.

Paula the 5 should be red not the whole thing. I have never done 5 sets of 5 with any significant weight before. That was the "money" part of the exercise for me.
Today I have guests coming. The person who built my new guitar is in town and will be spending the evening. So plan a rest and play guitar day. Probably a good thing. My pecs are feeling better but my calves and hammies are dying. |

What a fun day off yesterday. I went to a local handmade instrument show and many of the people I saw at that show I had not seen for several months. All of them commented that I had lost weight.... I heard "there is only half of you" and "OMG you look wonderful" and on and on it went. What is amazing about this is that last year this time I weighed nearly the same as I do now. Perhaps 10 lbs difference but no more. I am 15% or more bf difference though. It was a very pleasent day and could not have happened at a better time for me. I am starting to feel a bit fat but also I am embracing this feeling and my body. Yes, my gut is starting to pudge a bit but my pecs and back and legs and all the rest of me is getting super duper strong as well as muscled. I have never had this body shape and size before and I find it fascinating as well as beautiful. It isn't where I ultimately want to be but it is where I am now.
Tonight I worked out at home (it's about time) and focused on the back.
warm up
jump rope = 300 times (I wasn't even tired)
db prone cuban snatch
1x15 (5) e
1x10 (10) e
1x8 (15) e
bent over bb row
1x20 (50)
1x15 (95)
1x15 (110)
pull ups
1x2 (bw)
3x10 (assisted)
ab super set
swiss ball crunch 3x15 (+25)
bicycle each leg 3x15 (bw)
Pull over
1x20 (20)
1x10 (40)
1x10 (50)
db 2 point row (bent over)
3x20 (30)
I felt like a monster again. I got a pump on in my back tonight for the first time. It felt huge and awesome.

It's all about the feed ladies. If you want to be strong ya gotta feed your body. I am totally getting the reason why guys love to bulk. I do not enjoy overeating so much but it is fun to look at the barbell or dumbells and get focused and mean and just whip out some major reps and sets. Then there is the pump that follows.... Ahhhhhhh..... It is a cool feeling too. And all I have to pay for this is a little gut pudge....  |
