      Redemption: Scals Journey

      So I have been gone for about three months with no internet, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't training. Right now I'm down to about 206 pounds. I don't no BF %, but I can say that this is the leanest I have ever been. Stats looking like this:

      Chest: 48in
      Shoulders: 56in
      Arms: 17in
      Legs: 25in
      Calves: 15in (fuck)
      Neck: 18in
      Waist: 33.5in

      For those of you who followed my last journey, I was planning on competing in September but due to a serious illness, not to mention some lagging parts, and a left knee injury, I decided to hold off on that. I plan on competing this upcoming May. But first I need to put some more size on to my frame. This time I am not concerned with what the scale says, but rather what the mirror shows. I will be bulking until the new year, so I hope to be able to put between a 1/2 inch and an inch onto each body part (just not my waist lol).

      I will be doing a clean bulk, with max 3 cheat meals per week. The way that has worked for me in the past is carb cycling so I will continue to use what works. The plan is 350g of carbs on workout days and about 200 non workout days. Protein will be consistently 320g+.

      I haven't figured out specifics about the diet other than the food is going to be clean and that I will be eating 7 times per day. I just received all my supps that I will be using. The list includes:

      Pak, Omega, Real Gains, Ultra Whey, EAA Nitro, Nitro, Beta Ala9, SuperPump 250, Waximaize

      Training is going to be simple and basic. Machines and cables will be used sparingly, I'm focused on the DBs and BBs. I'm really not concerned with how heavy things are this go round. Heavy isn't a number, it's a feeling, and I finally understand that. I'm preparing a 5 day split as I type this and it's coming along quite well. I finally have a workout partner that understands why I do this shit. Curls are not for the girls. They're for me.

      I'm psyched for this off season. I feel that as long as I am injury free this will be the best one ever. Follow along, leave your comments and your criticisms. I love when people offer up their opinions, makes me a more well rounded individual.

      This will all begin this Sunday August 24th. I'm moving back to school and have tons of things to do over the course of this week so it's an off week going into what should be the best bulk ever.

      Thanks brother. I have used M-Stak a couple of times. I am considering using it again but not to start this bulk. I used it over the summer, stacked with cuts, to lean out and keep lean muscle.

      Ight three more days til the shit hits the fan. I put together a meal plan that looks like this:

      Workout Days
      #1 - 4 whole eggs & 4 whites, 1.5 cups of oats, 8oz skim milk
      #2 - Real Gains Shake (days of class mixed with water, no class with milk)
      #3 - 8oz chicken, 1.5 cups white rice
      #4 - 60g Protein Shake (Whey Pro, Gold Standard)
      #5 - 8-10oz of steak/ground beef, 2 sweet potatoes
      #6 - 8oz Tilapia/ 2 cans tuna, 1.5 cups white rice

      Non-Workout Days
      #1 - 4 whole eggs & 4 whites, 1.0 cups of oats, 8oz skim milk
      #2 - 1/2 Real Gains Shake & 1/2 Whey Protein (days of class mixed with water, no class with milk)
      #3 - 8oz chicken, 0.75 cups white rice
      #4 - 60g Protein Shake (Whey Pro, Gold Standard)
      #5 - 8-10oz of steak/ground beef, 1 sweet potato
      #6 - 8oz Tilapia/ 2 cans tuna, 0.75 cups white rice

      I plan on throwing in a few cheat meals per week. My favorite cheats are pizza (the Italian NYer I am), ice cream, pasta (not really a cheat but I can't just have a little bit), and Wendy's. I'm aiming for 2 cheat meals per week.

      Supps are looking like:
      Pak - w/ meal #1
      Omega - w/ meal #1
      SuperPump 250 - pre workout
      EAA Nitro - during workout
      Nitro - post workout
      Beta Ala9 - pre workout, before bed
      Uni-Liver - 3 w/ each meal

      I'm ready to roll. Gonna hit some light arms after work today just so I don't feel like a complete waste this week.

      Thanks guys. I've noticed that I tend to put on too much fat in the off season so I wanna really do this carb cycling right to see if that can put an end to excess fat during the bulk.

      Ight tomorrow is the start of the big bulk. Just got back from the supermarket and got all the essentials for the week. The split is looking like this:

      Sunday - Chest, Calves
      Monday - Back, Abs
      Tuesday - OFF
      Wednesday - Delts, Abs
      Thursday - Arms
      Friday - Legs
      Saturday - OFF

      I'm going to be doing 15 minutes of cardio after each workout as well.

      So today I got bored so I hit legs lightly today with my partner. Looked like this:

      Squats: 135 12x, 225 10x, 275 8x, 315 5x - Knee felt pretty good on these
      Leg Press: 2pps 15x, 4pps 15x, 6pps 10x, 8pps 8x
      Leg Extensions: 3x12
      Leg Curls: 3x12
      Standing Calves: 3x12
      Leg Press Calves: 3x15

      Nothing crazy just wanted to do something instead of sitting around all day.
      "I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't."

      Leave No Doubt

      You can be stronger than me, you can be bigger than me. But there's no fucking way you'll out work me.
