That’s right... but beginning in January, Operation Lean Bass commences

I’m excited to finish out and start a lean bulk. Haven’t really done hypertrophy work in years.

I gotta adjust my calories again. I shot up 2.8 pounds in two weeks and dropped my calories just about 700 on the week... and I’ve proceeded to drop .25 pounds for three weeks in a row.

Bulking weigh ins are funky

I’m having surgery soon and my doctor needs me to lose weight before he does the procedure so he sent me to a medically supervised doctor. They put me on this medication called phentermine to suppress my appetite while being on a very low calorie diet of like 700 calories. Started on Tuesday and have lost 10 pounds in just 3 days. This is the diet they gave me.

Bulking? Shoo I’ll be having a weekly ribeye.

Yeah, I'm gonna start fairly low and adjust. Thinking 2800.

Seems like I'm at a plateau a bit, or it could be that Friday night tends to be dinner night with the family & a cheat meal?

Planning to amp up exercising a bit to try and get the weight dropping again.

A whole week of work can be meaningless if you’re going nuts with a cheat day. Shouldn’t be any plateaus in 260s. Maybe cals aren’t low enough?

@nicksjuzunk what is your bulking routine nowadays.

You linked me a method in the last year I can’t remember.

Get the boy to do it.

Haven’t had a beer since the first week of this. Definitely was tempted today.

Had a few cocktails during this, but only 2-3 occasions.

I’ll get to it.

Not like you have anything better to do. Once a kid hits a week old, they’re pretty much self sufficient. Stop slacking.

Laying on me passed out right now. This is stupid but I underestimated how much time they require.

Not stupid at all. It’s impossible to be prepared for your first kid and to know what they need and how much they need from you. Enjoy the time with him snoozing on you. Nothing like it, and it passes quickly.
