My goal is to gain 1-2 lbs. of solid (Mostly Muscle) mass a week until I weigh 190 and do it by eating a diet that is mostly clean. Also I am in college so I am on a budget and a tight schedule as far as times when I can eat. I have been going steady with the routine I am in now for about 4 weeks now and I decided that it was time to start a log to chart my progress and hopefully get some good feedback/advice.
If this current plan works I estimate that it should take 18-36 weeks (4.5-9 months) to achieve my goal of weighing 190 without a huge increase in BF% (expect some increase). Right Now I estimate that my BF is around 9%.
So here is what I am at right now:
Weight: 154
Height: 6’
Max BP: 220
Max Squat: 265
Max DL: (will max soon)
My day to make weight is on Wednesday of each week. If I don’t make weight I am going to eat and drink until I do.
I dont have a camera (yet) but I am planning on buying one soon and posting pics.
