MASS

Spedward Posts: 101 Joined: 2001/04/16	2001/05/03, 12:24 PM Ok...i seem to feel right now that i got eating right down to a science. the only problem is the fact that i have been running the past 8 weeks on a 2200 cal diet. it usially constist of about. 280 grams of protien, 200 grams of carbs - 300 on training days(which people tell me that is not enough carbs, but my body seems to run great on that so i'm fine with the low carbs.) and about 30 grams of fat. Now in about two weeks i'm going to start to try to put on some mass. right now i weight about 185 and i'm 5'11''. the body fat is about 8%, but i don;t pay attention to my bobyfat beacause in the past i noticed that all that matters to me is the fact that i feel good about how i look when i look in the mirror, so BF is kinda irrelivent to me. Anyhow, for the past two months...i have stayed at that weight, but y strenght has gone through the roof. i have not been doing any cardo but i have been doing my training with minimal rest between sets (90 sec at the most). i have my training planed out for the next 8 weeks already, so i'm good there. I want to try to put on about a pound a week AT THE MOST. i plan on throwing an extra chunk of meat in here and there, maybe add about 100 more carbs and also i'm going to start to supliment with flaxoil. i will no be taking creatine though. i think my muscles are pretty much saturated with the stuff at this point. any other advice....i never really went on a true mass program...i have always been kinda scared to lose my definition, but i think if i shoot for about a pound a week then i should be good....just shoot me some advise if you can. thanks

Most bodybuilders gain size/strength and then shave those extra cals to get their tone back as you probably know. But hey theres the addage that sometimes we have to take one step back to take two steps forward. It all depends on how much you want to gain in a given amount of time.
