Do you have pics from the start and now? How much have you progressed? What are your plans for next year?



I’ll definitely post up some before and after. Will be an odd before and after haha. More used to the cutting ones vs the bulk ones but I’m almost up 35 lbs now so will be cool to see still. My plans now are to cruise for awhile then cut. I was debating doing a show, but I think I decided against it. Not 100% yet on that.

Did legs today and will do
Chest tomorrow.

12/18 Legs/Calves (Bens Mass Gain Routine #2 - week #12) *did day early this week*

*6 minutes warm up on bike level 5*

Lying Leg Curls: warmup sets: 80x20, 80x20 ... working sets: 150x12, 155x10, 160x8, 165x6m (drop 110x10, drop 70x10 add weight 85x25 partials at the bottom. Only coming up about 2-3 inches) (keep toes pointed on as many reps as you can before curling them up - much harder this way so less weight than before)

Barbell Stiff Legged Deads: warmup sets: 45x20, 45x20 ... working sets: 155x10x2 (super slow, really flex glutes and hams on each rep) *did split squats this week*

Leg Press: warmups: start with 1 plate on each side and keeping adding 1 to each side until warmed up ... working sets: 765x10x3 (3 second negative then explode up on each rep, super deep and controlled reps)

*1 min fascia stretch on each quad*

Hack Squat: 430x10x3 (On the third set, use the same weight, but go down all the way and pause, then drive the weight back up hard. Keep TUT and dont lockout do not lock out. Do the 10 reps, then cut the weight in half and do 15 more reps)

*1 min fascia stretch on each quad, repeat twice*

Standing Calf Raises: 150x10x5

That would be good to see. Always interesting to see how far you have come. Pics are the best tool to use in this game as we often second guess ourselves. Keep going strong. I would hold off on a show until you are 100% ready. The issue with that is you need to hold the new mass for a long time so a show may not be on the cards for a few years. No point in dieting on new gains as you need to give your body time to adapt to that new weight otherwise it disappears and fast!

It’s looking more like its not going to happen. I feel like even though my end of cycle bloods I just got look great (other than cholesterol lol) I need to give my body some off time and maintain his. I’m shooting for 6-8 weeks min before cutting. And if I was gunna do this show I just wouldn’t have time. I also feel like doing a show was an old dream of mine back when I was single and the gym was my whole life. I wanted to be a trainer and all that stuff, now even if I won a show it’s kinda like “okay, what now” lol. Like I don’t see that I’d get much out of it and I know I can get in that kinda shape, so ya not like I’m someone trying to prove something to myself.

Well… my Blast is over, so here it is. My dreaded before and after lol. From 180 (lowest point after my cut) to 215.2 today (time between pics is 21 weeks and 3 days).

Can’t wait to cut. Now to try and maintain here the next 6 weeks before my cut blast. Christmas cookies may still help the gains ;)

215.4 today. Diet will remain the same this next week, but I am going to add back in cardio. 5x a week at 20 min. See what hat does for me. Then adjust the diet from there to try to keep at this weight. Or at least above 210 for the cruise.

Today is just puppy time and shopping with mom. Gunna look for some new gym clothes after using he same ones for 5 years lmao. Too fat for my cutoffs now, gotta save them for shredded season. [emoji23][emoji23]

Back session later. Walk with my puppy in the tundra. Life is good. Happy holidays.
