Bulking - Week 1 - Eat It

Status update, yo! As of this morning I was at about 168 lbs, putting me 5 lbs over my starting weight, and halfway to my goal of 173 lbs. The good news is that it's been a week-and-a-half so I'm technically ahead of schedule. The bad news is that I made the first 3 lbs in 4 days, and it's increasingly more difficult to put the mass on. This is in part due to the creatine I've been taking, but more on that when I get to supplements. For now, I'm gonna touch on the meat and potatoes of the whole 'get huge' project (Hint: Real meat and potatoes are involved).

New Challenge - Bulking

With New Years and subsequent resolutions still fresh in people's minds, the most common conundrum these resolutionaries choose to tackle is the ever-noble oft-neglected goal of getting into shape. What that particular shape is will vary from person to person, though usually a less round one, but one thing you don't hear is, "I don't want my body to change, it's perfect the way it is". While everybody should be comfortable in their own skin, everybody also wants some change, whether its lifting twice your own bodyweight, looking hot in that new bikini, or just being 'healthier', everybody wants more out of their body. Some of you with the best intentions for the New Year might already be reverting back into hibernation mode. I want you to hold on for at least another month, because the next challenge is central to this idea.
