Look out for the soybean oil in that peanut butter. That stuff will make you watch Ellen and do cardio to K.D. Lang! (not that there is anything wrong with that)
All these sugestions are good but I don’t think necassary…
Your trying to do a no holds barred bulk here so as long as your getting enough protien and tons of carbs I see no need to over analyze what your eating.
It sounds like your making progress… but if it were me with $500 on the line and not overly concerned about fat gain (your only talking 8 weeks anyway so not like your going to become obese) I would not be happy with 2lbs/week gain.
I say up your calorie intake, hopefully you have been keeping a eating log so you know how much you have been eating so you can add 500-1000 calories to that.
the diet manifesto has some bulking diets…
Update:
The 8 weeks is almost up. I’m currently tipping the scales anywhere from 183-185 lbs. By the looks of things, I’m pretty sure the $500 is in the bag, but you never know. I still have a 6-pack and I’ve noticed only a little fat gain on the love handles.
I’ve learned a ton in the last 8 weeks and I’m going to continue bulking until 200+ lbs. I’ve really cleaned my diet up after reading most of JB’s articles, although I’m still struggling to add fats to my diet.
I’m not celebrating yet, but T-Nation has really come through for me. Thanks for the help, i’ll post the results soon.
GREAT WORK!!
Even if you dont win seems as though you have made som,e great progress and learned a LOT that has helped clear up and mkae future goals easier to reach
