bigbassbrent's Journal, 20 June 2014

171.2 lbs
111/63 Blood Pressure
64 Pulse
100 Blood Glucose
12% Body Fat, Caliper readings 11, 20, 7 mm. *Last week I recorded 9%. This week I played around with the calipers and figured out ways to take my measurements which calculate my body fat closer to how I think I actually look.

I am trying to figure out what it take for me to gain a little muscle mass. I upped my daily calories to 2400 and I still lost weight. I am going to go one more week at 2400 and see how I end up. I must confess that ate over my 2400 calories several days last week . Yesterday after fishing I even had wataburger and ended the day with 3576 calories. I still haven’t gained weight from any of this…yet. Maybe something will show up tomorrow...

No weight training highlights this week. I took it easy and did a deload and only lifted light weights during my routines. Next week should be a good one.

I have a busy weekend coming up. I was off work yesterday and today. Yesterday I had a fun bass fishing trip with some friends. Tomorrow my GF and I have a tournament. I love keepin busy when I can but it keeps me from checking in with my FS friends. Hope you all have a good weekend!

If you want to gain muscle, you can't be afraid to gain a little fat. If youre worried about packing on too much fat during the process, cycle your calories. Use my last bulk/cut cycle as an example: I ate 3500 calories/day for 12 weeks and gained 9 lbs. I cycled down to 2300 cals/day for 4 weeks and then 2000 cals/day for the final 8. I ended up 2 lbs heavier than I started with a significant drop in bf% as you saw in my photo. I don't have calipers so I can't give numbers, but from the look of it I started at 170lbs. and somewhere around 16-18% bf and ended the 24 weeks at 172lbs and 14-16% bf. Id guess that I gained at least 6-8lbs. of lean mass in a 24 week period. Not sure if my results ease your worry or not, but I think that they should.
