So...do you think the calorie increase is helping you increase your strength?

Scorpiogirl...HAA - I know I am sooo not getting enough calories but I am TRYING to get them in!!

Try some calorie dense food to easily up the cals - nuts are good -> peanuts, almonds, etc.

So...do you think the calorie increase is helping you increase your strength?

I definitely feel like I have A LOT more energy with the calorie increase which in turn definitely helps my ability to feel stronger at the gym!! I just have to keep my self motivated psychologically about the higher amount of calories!!

I was able to make all new 5RM records in all of my exercises (bent rows, bench press, deadlifts, squats and pullups) this past week using the 5x5 method. YEAH!!!

Hey jnuts, thanks for the suggestion...I noticed this concept last night...I wasn't even at 1000 calories by the end of the day so I popped in about 10 Macadamian nuts and wow I hit 1300 with no problem!!
