12/6 Update
8 weeks at 500/week hasn’t been a “blow your doors off” difference from ~200, but I’ve felt good, dense as hell, and strong. Lifts have increased as good or better than expected and I’ve physically changed. I’m sitting at 230, up from around 225, waist size has been unchanged while pants and shirts have begun to feel quite snuggish, I can feel a bit of fatness in my face (may be in my imagination) and I’ve definitely added weight, but it doesn’t feel like a dramatic amount of fat and with the scale movement of 5-8lbs and the top end of my lifts moving well, it would indicate that it’s going well. 4 more weeks at 500 and then down to a cruise of 150
