startinfromscratch Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 im writing this up now in preparation for starting my first 'bulk' next week. Will do it for at least 8 weeks, and see how i go. im 25, 5ft10", bf around 13%(according to callipers). weight was 75, got a stomach ulcer(dont know how) over xmas,and now weigh 72 :-(..... will be doing the first week at my old gym, and from then on will have joined unisport, which i cant wait for! im gonna post up my diet here, so i will only need to detail changes like cheatmeals etc. i train 4 times a week, no cardio, split is legs, chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders/traps. the biggest obstacle for me is lack of sleep. im a baker, get up at 3 every morning, try getting 8 hours a night on my shifts, hardly ever happens. but i will be trying to! right, my planned diet:0330 cup raw oats, serve whey, banana, tbs flaxseed, water0630 3 eggs mashed/tbsp lite mayo, 150-200g kumara0930 185g tin tuna on burgen grain bread, lite mayo1200 200g chicken(pepper seasoned), 1 cup brown rice0200ish workoutpost w/out 40g dex,med tin paenapple, followed by balancemass gain shake with skim milk (550 cals)around 5-6pm dinner, serve of kumara, stirfry veges, good size steak/chickenserve of balance night time growth before bed..will be on crea mono aswell, will start loading with it tommorow, and will stay on it for the whole time.im a small guy, and i dont push much weight, so dont expect big numbers. i will be expecting strength gains over the 8 weeks, and size gains, but will not be weighing very often..oh and anyone who goes to unisport, feel free to introduce yourselves! im the skinny guy with all the tatts :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
