Well after some thoughtful considerations, I have decided to start bulking with AD. So far the only time I have done AD is for cutting purpose but this time around I want to gain some weight while minimizing fat accumulation. Training wise, I will be training 6x/week (OTS BBB) MODOK inspired =) I will be eating via IF style. Now I know usually people don’t recommend bulking on IF and I agree with their points. I am only doing so because it fits my lifestyle perfectly and I have been doing it for nearly a year.If by any chance I feel like I need to eat more often due to the rigorous training then I will eat more, but until my body tells me that I will be keeping my 8hr meal window. Another reason is because I enjoy big meals. BIG meals…
In addition, I will be training fasted also. Been doing this for the past year as well and I find working out on empty stomach a lot more comfortable than with some substance in it. However, I do take pre-workout consiting of Xtend and also bring a bottle of that with me to sip on while working out. I find that extremely helpful and will never drop it!
Going high reps on chin-ups was never a strength of mine…3x12 next week fasho

Still feeling good so far. Let’s see how it goes a few days from now when more carbs are depleted. Fish was on sale today so got 2 fried fish…with skin on…mmmmmmmmmmm

Definitely take care of those!! I’ve been rolling my shoulder/outer pec with lacross ball and doing shoulder dislocation thing with the broomstick to keep my shoulder health and mobility up. Pressing this many times a week will definitely need extreme precautions.
Woke up feeling pretty good and refreshed this morning…full of energy.
