Time to start again, this time lifting heavier, eating more, less cardio, more gains. I'm doing this to keep me on track, and confident. I would also like to be able to look back on this as a reference when I need to change things up.
Since it's winter I have a lot more time to spend inside lifting, and a lot less time outside burning calories. No, I am not bulking during the winter, than cutting in the summer, I'm doing a year round bulk, when I feel I'm gaining fat, I lower my calories. Cardio is cut out of this routine for a few months, than I will throw it in for health reasons, I don't want to weaken my heart...
Stats
Age: 16
Weight: 145 lbs
Height: 5'10
Goals
Monthly: At least 2 pounds a month.
End weight: 170lbs
I have a pretty solid routine, though I want to make a few touch ups, because I'm adding some new equipment over the next few months, so I'm going to leave my routine out of here for now.
Plan:
I made a big mistake with planning the time in which I would work out last time I started bulking. I LOVE to work out alone, with NO distractions at all. My family tends to bother me while I'm working out, and when I ask them to leave me alone untill I'm done, they get extremely offended, and bother me even more. So... I need to leave it to a time where I'm pretty much alone. My mom rarely works, so I've planned to work out at 5:30 am. Hell... I've always liked waking up early, I get some alone time before I have to work my ass off working out, and than at school.
I am doing an upper / lower body split.
Mon: upper + abs
Tues: Lower
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Upper
Fri: Lower + abs
this is what I have been most successful with, so I'm not changing up the days I work out. Nor will I change from my upper / lower split, I love it.
Calorie intake will depend on fat gain, or weight loss, I will start off with 2500, and than raise to after 2 weeks.
I will post my weight each week, and try and post each day.
