6 weeks ago I told you my 12 week goal with a detailed plan.
Part of that plan was to use you to keep me honest.
As a reminder my 12 week goal was to gain 5# of muscle by the end of this 12 weeks.
After the first 4 weeks I managed to gain 2.5# with 2 of that being muscle.
Pretty happy with that considering fat gain was to be expected.
Calories started out at 3800/day and have risen to 4000/day giving me a nice ~400 calorie surplus.
It’s hasn’t been a perfect start to this process, but it has been a solid learning experience.
A cool byproduct to gaining muscle and eating a shit ton is feeling stronger than ever.
As far as workouts go, they’ve been the exact same as you do. For many of you, you’d like to get stronger or gain muscle.
Here’s the secret, EAT and LIFT.
Food can be your best friend, if you let it.
We’re halfway through this 12 weeks. Now is a great time to evaluate where you’re at and where you want to be.
It’s never too late to refocus, tweak your plan and get to work. Motivation will ALWAYS come and go.
Your focus and discipline NEED to remain constant if you’re serious about anything. Stay focused#tuesdaytwocents
