anyone growing this summer?

[t3c]

I am.

dardenfest is the first and last time I will compete as a lightweight even if it means getting my ass kicked a few times as a HW teen.

last summer I gained 30lbs or so

this summer I don't intend to gain that much but a good amount

My current training schedual is pretty intense and I keep loosing weight. Currently i'm eatting anything that isnt nailed down. And before bed I have been drinking shakes that consist of:

icecream, whole milk, carnation instant breakfast (2 packs), protein shake, peanut butter OR raw cookie dough

i alternate between PB and cookie dough because I like to switch it up like that. I'm drinking a cookie dough one now and its making me pretty sick...I think i put too much this time LOL


what about you fellas?

I know louden and hammer are...anyone else?

No diets here - diets are not long term.
I'm doing a good job at keeping fat levels stable, now all I need is to burn more energy.
This is where sprints and intervals come in, plus some short walks

Interesting. I've always had best results from letting activity create a deficit rather than dieting - lost my first 65 pounds without dieting or knowing anything about nutrition.

Still, I'm watching what I eat this summer (no cookie dough shakes )- but trying to lose fat through pure calorie restriction has never gotten me anywhere - like you said, it's not a great long term strategy (not sustainable).

on topic: I'm adding some muscle mass this summer, but I'm also leaning out. started at 193 pounds, down to 184 now with minor but definite growth in the chest, arms, legs, traps and lats (everywhere I guess ). strength is up.

eating plenty on training days (3 days/week) and less on sedentary days. lean meat, oatmeal, olive and peanut oil(for frying), flatbreads, whey, veggies, beans, peanut butter, blue cheese . Gonna boost my activity levels after my upcoming deloading weeks to try and lose another 2-4% before the end of summer.

i'll let the spriting take care of my weight.

ps....... yeah my goal is to get to a 300lbs by next christmas.

 

[Backlash]

I've gained about 15 pounds over the last two months. Not sure where it has gone though - I can barely see any change thanks to my height and lanky-ass frame. Guess that just means I need more weight!

 

[JollyRogers]

this & next month will suck for me till i get some shakes, I have been nauty, drinking beer, been working out every 3 days this month, Im trying to find gear so I can hardwire myself so i can lay off the booze, and know that i cant drink..lol

 

[casualbb]

Started bulking today. I had a 7 oz. steak for breakfast. I'm like 160 now, I want to be 170 by the middle of august.

[jeremys]

you've all inspired me. i'll be at 275 but unfortunately i can't eat like crap (at least not all the time ) as i'm already pretty fat. yup.. A LOT of CLEAN food is going to be devoured. and chinese buffets are going to be cleared.

 

[cheesecake]

Planning on gaining some strength and loosing some body fat % this summer.

I just started WSB this week and I'm really happy with it so far. Can't wait to see what I look like around September.
