Dude…you don’t even need to bother tracking your food. Just stay away from empty calories, eat your cheeseburgers and peanut butter, drink your milk, and you’ll gain mass just fine. No one is an ectomorph on 4000-5000 kcals a day. Besids, who cares about love handles when you have a six-plate deadlift?

Counting my calories isn’t really a chore for me, and I tend do well on a fixed meal plan. Otherwise, I just feel more tempted to eat crap because I don’t know what my next meal is going to be

Carries and Lunges
Didn’t really think about this too much. Effectively, I took the 20kg dumbbells out to the parking lot, carried them for two laps (~50-70m) and then did bodyweight lunges for a third lap (~25-35m). I think I got three or four of these done in 12ish minutes, and good god did it burn out my legs.

Training Change
So school starts up tomorrow, and I’m realising I’m not going to have time for 4 sessions a week. As such, I’m moving from Boring But Strong: NTW to Full Body 17 from Forever. Looks like a tough template, but something doable.

- This isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, although this is only the first week of the first cycle. Granted, my technique did get a bit iffy on the 5x10 Bench, but it never became terrible. The squat widowmaker wasn’t too bad, felt more like cardio than anything else. Will go for 30 reps on Friday.
- Crazy chest pump from the Boring But Big work. I like it.

You better have made good use of the time i havent been able to lift, i’ll make my return and start out angling you sir. That picture of comparing pre and after gym was pretty juicy 
I’m weighing 75-76kg atm. The skinniest iv been in a year. Anyway you’re not even fat lol. I started off at about 68-70kg prior training and my highest was 83kg (chubba asf). embrace the bulk 
Edit: i actually was training when i was 70 kg, just messed around and didnt eat enough.

I’m more than happy going way up in weight, but I’ve just had a shit week of eating. The ‘best’ day of eating so far I still went 2000-3000 calories over, but from fruit and sushi instead of chocolate mint ice cream.
