Should i start seeing better gains in the upcoming 5 weeks now im in to PR`s?

Yes

... but eating is the key to that along with the new weight stimulous you're providing your body via new PR's

Thaks for the kind words CK The top part of my abs i can see coming on small amount but my lower stomach is taking a age to shift, it feels more like loose skin than fat although im sure there is fat in there aswell. Im not expecting much change whilst bulking for the next 5 weeks but i want to see a noticabale change in the following weeks after that.

Seperate note im fairly happy that im gaining weight yet still managing to trim down in places. Should i start seeing better gains in the upcoming 5 weeks now im in to PR`s?

Thanks Crossy

loose skin, loose skin!!! You want to see loose skin try having 3 kids and one step son, I'll show you loose skin LOL. (there is a visual for you LOL) Especially since i was 210lbs with all three! not proud but whatcha going to do??? I do feel that a lot of it has tightened up but there will always be a little reminder, unless I pay thousands of dollars to get it removed and I am not about to spend that kinds of money on me. enough about me though, even a small amount of difference in your pictures is worth celebrating cause it means what your doing is working!!!!

I think you may have a greater chance of your 'loose skin" to go away, I could be wrong though not the expert.

I am sorry to hear your not feeling well now, but the workout looks good, but take it easy if your not feeling well, blah, blah, blah, but you know I gotta say it, it's the mother in me!

Im sure your skin is lovely . I read a article on loose skin and apparently you lose the elasticity as you get older i think it starts to get worse after 30 so maybe i still got a chance of it going. I am hoping so as i seen it go somewhat already to what it was. If you dont mind me asking what are you at now CK? Your workouts look awesome and your one busy bee.

Sarge thanks bro i am trying to eat alot more its still sorta all over the place at the min although under control abit better than last week. Still playing about with the best times for me to eat etc. I felt so much better in the gym on sat morning i went about a hour after i had some oats and a bannana. So maybe that helped eating that before i went i normally just have a oat bar. Im actually excited when i go now as i know im getting PR`s by bench form is so much better than previous weeks so digging that aswell now.

lol...YES! Oats and a banana pre workout will have a much more positive impact on your training than a little dinky oat bar

As much as i don't like to micromanage meal timing and what's in it is important most of the time as you've experienced.

Well about a month and a half ago I was at 133 and I am 5'5 and 31 years old cause I was cutting for the comp. that never happened, now I am bulking and I am at 147 but it isn't like my before fat pictures LOL.

When I first joined this site that was how much I weighed, however it was alllll fat. Soo all in all it is all good and I am not complaining, like I said the skin left over is a good reminder of how things could still be.

I find especially now with bulking what I eat right before greatly effects my workouts. I usually will have oatmeal, skim milk, apple and another fruit with 2 eggs before I work out. Then I eat again right after my workout.

Well it looks like i will be trying to eat that an hour before i go and obviously still have my pre/post workout shake. Im just trying to do this as cleanly as possible and thats what im struggling with. Practice makes perfect i guess.
