forget both of them and find a better chick

creatine is good but listen to zach

youre young.. listen to this man! eat food, eat well, cut out the CRAP, cheat on a day or two... stay current with exercise. You need to find a balance and keep it fun

2.5lbs of fat.. in your ass its okay I like the junk in the trunk

 

Oh, I definitely know it's not all muscle, but it feels good to actually seeing my weight go up, rather than down!

 

my biggest and only complain of gaining weight back is getting my love handles back... really not a fan... im thinking about cleaning stuff up diet wise.. we'll see ive been enjoying my food lately

 

I'm with everyone else in that you should make sure you're eating a lot. But I don't think creatine is a bad idea... just drink tons of water and eat lots of food.

 

Heard that. That's why I'm staying only 500 calories above maintenance the whole bulk, rather than going nuts and eating everything in sight.

And learn what it actually does. I don't take anything until I know exactly how it works and what it's doing.

 

THIS. I wont take anything that I cant explain to someone on how it works and why you should take it or cycle it or shouldnt take it... People say bodybuilders are stupid. But really, most of them are freaking smart, they know how things work with what. Knowledge is power and power is gains!

 

Just read a really good article on Simply Shredded about bulking and macros.

Also, there's a picture of Noemi Olah in there

 

going to give this a read after I come back from lunch... moved on to base housing with the wife.. I love it... no more packing the whole day and I can make a nice lunch at home (6min away) and im 4min away from the gym!

 

Fukk. I've got one of those annoying spastic muscle twitches today.. Normally if I get one it'll be in my shoulder but today I've got one in my lower abs and it is quite a weird sensation

FORGIVE ME BROJESUS, I HAVE SINNED
IT SAYS "Crossfit" ON IT

 

crossfit - gains lost, bragging rights enabled

 

You got robbed, Target sells converse for 40 bucks.

 

can't say reebok doesn't know how to brand

 

cant see pic.. work has it blocked

 

But no BAH monies!!!!!!

 

yeah this is true but drive time wasnt what I wanted and our apartment was the size of a shoebox.. and the eltric bill was disgusting. backyard for our dog, 3bed 2.5bath and a huge kitchen for me to cook in... definitely worth it

 

You're at Mcguire right? The base housing there does look super nice. Spent a couple months TDY there in 2012. Saw some really nice places off base too but most were a little drive. We stayed in a hotel in bordentown I belive it was, something like that.

 

Got in my back workout and then went and re-up'd on food for the week. Only const me $50 this week, as opposed to $100 last week. Bulking life is good

wide-grip pull-ups: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 w/ 1 sec pause at top and bottom (introducing 25 lb weight next week...very excite)
v-grip lat-pulldown: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 @ 180 lbs
single-arm dumbbell row: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 w/ 70, 75, 80, 85 lb dumbbell
t-bar row: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 @ 70, 90, 115, 115
seated calve raises: 3 sets of 15 @ 90 lbs (1 sec pause at top and bottom)
leg-press calve raises: 3 sets of 10 @ 330 lbs

Time to eat again!

 

yeah we're in the newest place too.. its on base/off base... so friends and fam and delivery people can get on w/o access (good and bad I guess) but the gate is a 5 min drive, gym is 6ish, work is 8ish.. but having a full blown house w/garage and pay 0 in utlities is a huge plus.. my house is freezing and i love it! ha

nice job on that budget yo! Wife and I spent $80 this weekend for our food and thats food for me to bulk as well

did back as well

tri-set 12 10 8 6 @ 140 - 125 - 125 - 110
Wide grip
norm grip
close grip chinup

deadlift 12 10 8 6 @ 115 - 135 - 155 - 185

Hyper Extensions 4 sets of 15 w/5lb DB row at the top of the exercise

had to keep it short for a tight morning schedule

when I went home for lunch I had 2 slices of colby pepperjack cheese 60g of turkey meat, peppers, onions, cucumbers, mustard and olive oil miracle whip wrapped in a spinach tortilla wrap thing with 40g of mashed tatters

 

That's not including her food. Most of the stuff I get lasts about a full week, but I still have to make the occasional trip here and there in the middle of the week. I'd say, excluding my whey, it's around $60-80/wk, which I don't think is too bad.

My fiancee's cousin is flying in from Huntington Beach tomorrow night, so I'm sure we're all going to be doing a lot of drinking lol. I figure I can at least try to be a healthy-eating drunk while he's here. We're going to the Braves game Friday, which I know is going to be a total shit-show, so I'm just going to go ahead and make that my cheat day lol
