What am I doing right now?

Some of you guys who’ve checked out my blog before might be a ‘little’ freaked out to find out what i am doing right now.

Why?

Well, it just so happens that what I am doing is the complete opposite of what my blog has so far been about – WEIGHT GAIN!

To be honest, I have been on a weight gain cycle for the last three months, and have already put on 20 lbs of bulk (fat and muscle included).

Again, why would I want to do that? Well, it’s just that for a long time I have been on a kick to get big muscles (aren’t we all), and for a long time have been trying to juggle some fat loss and some muscle gain – basically tried to gain lean muscle while keeping fat stores down. How much time did I spend doing this? Almost 5 or so years.

So what have I learnt? That it is IMPOSSIBLE to do something like that, no matter how many muscle and fitness rags tell us that. Man, we just end up spinning our wheels in the air, thinking that we’re about to get somewhere. Hah…what a joke!

The real fact of the matter is that one must focus on one of the two, and decide what your end result is going to be. You see, if you don’t have a picture in your mind, then how will you know if you’ve got what you aimed for?

For those who want big muscles to go along with the low fat, there will HAVE to be a time when you will have to run a couple of bulking cycles, and first get the muscle you want, and then cut up.

If muscles are not important to you, then go the ‘gain lean muscle’ route, and check out www.turbulence-training.co.cc and sculpt what you got already.

As for me…I had to sit down and think hard about things, and I decided that I wanted to be at least 220 lbs of muscle, which translates to aroud 240 lbs total bodyweight at around 19%BF (which is where I am right now). Hence the bulking cycle.

Well, I hope someone finds this to be of help in clarifying your goals, coz that’s what it is all about – clarity of mind and purpose.

Cheers!
