Built like a badass - On cycle started the test today

the light weight goes upto 70kg iam trying to get that. i was 53 kg a few weeks back - avatar pic- now iam 61 kg been there for 20days now but iam noticing that iam getting leaner and fuller at this weight so maybe iam shifting body composition a little bit.

i don't particularly like fullbody routines also but i need recovery because i have to do some sort of rowing CV on offdays . i really like push/pull splits or upper/lower.

Can you elaborate on your rowing schedule and how you train for that. Is it all outdoors or are there any ergo sessions?
A serious amount of cardio may impact your ability to gain significant weight.

currently iam in the off season so on my offdays from training its either a 6km in a pair boat , 30 mins on the ergo steady pace or the dirty dozen 500X12 with a minute rest between each 500m

hello mate, apologies for taking so long to get my ass in here!

diet looks good for protein but bit low on fruit/veg/efa's. veg and efa's can easily be added to any meal and even a couple protions fruit a day would be good (check the smoothies i make in my journal for a good MRP).  if your looking to bulk maybe add more carbs towards the end of the day.

to help bulking why not split your routine from whole body work. got to take my hat off to you though for all the work you do each session!!

im saying the above as someone who doesnt have any knowledge of what rowing training and diet involves so dont take any notice of my advice if its crap but if i was looking to bulk a bit thats what id do.

was wondering, are you an expat in Cairo? its somewhere ive though of going to work in future.

PS i thought hat russian bear drink mightve put some hairs on your chest!!

"You were promised violence and you are getting violence."

thnx for coming mate:D

u're right i need to up my fruit intake , i will take alook at ur recipies asap, efa's am trying to increase by adding more nuts and olive oil to my meals. me and carbs don't mix well if i add carbs regularly late in the day i get fat in a blink of the eye. occasionly though they are very helpful.

iam planning of starting a split along the lines of a push/pull/legs , i find fullbody wo hard but they increase my body's acceptance to sternous training , and they help immensly with my endurance.

no iam not an expat in cairo mate , iam an egyptian student. cairo is very nice place to live and work, last year i got an internship in british american tobacco and they paid me very well.  what's ur field of work?

the russian bear is really nice but the mct's in it , hurts alot when coming out.

notes: meal 5 was rediculous , i was invited in a party and i got so hungry downed these bad boys, felt guilty at first then i switched to the "****it am bulking" attitude lol. i seriously though if iam eating clean all the time no problem in throwing up some dirty stuff.
