Let the bulking begin! Pwr_Machine's Training Log

You really are a machine.
...chad...

That's a compliment. I've had friends call me "machine" in the past, kinda like a nickname that hasn't really stuck. I even have a t-shirt from a friend that has MACHINE across the front. If I could continue to train hard and remain injury free, I'll definately feel like a machine.

Workout 2 - 8/11/03 (Week 2)

Prior to beginning the workout, the gym owner commented on how I'm looking a little thicker. That's always a good feeling.

Machine Rows 95 x 12, 110 x 12, 125 x 12

My back tightened up quite a bit following the exercises above. I'll put some heat on it and see if a round or two of Skelaxin will help knock it out.

Week 1 - Calorie Intake

Below are my average calories, protein, fat, and carbs from week 1. The fat is a little high, but I eat a fair share of peanuts, olive oil, and BEEF!

Calories 4016
Protein 303.7
Fat 176.7
Carbs 314.0

After my first week of bulking, I weighed in at 228. I'm up 5 pounds!

My back is still tightening up even on my day of rest. I'll keep up with the Skelaxin and heat and see what happens. No big deal, just irritating.

5 pounds up! Nice work in a week, your body must have been like a dog on a leash wanting to grow! Should be some massive changes over the next 6 - 8 weeks...

I'm not sure when I'll get pics up. I have a few taken that have not been developed. I was planning on waiting til I get a good, solid training cycle in before I develop them. We'll see. I'm anxious.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I spent the previous training cycle trying to trim off some bodyfat. Now, I'm that dog on a leash wanting to grow. I'm really looking forward to some big gains this training cycle.
