Bulking start
1st September
166.1 lbs
7.4% (skinfold and parillo formula)
In between I had a mini-cut of 4 weeks and 1-2 weeks that I was sick.
Today
174.6 lbs
8.5% (skinfold and parillo formula)
If we look just at weight/bodyfat seems good results. Not great but fair enough.
I look at myself every day and I see no difference, that's why every 2 weeks I take body measurements and here comes the downside.
Chest: 41.2" -> 41.9"
Arms: 14.7" -> 15.1"
Thighs: 21.9" -> 22.4"
Calves: 14.8" -> 15.1"
Let's say it was just 16weeks of bulking (taking off the mini-cut and sickness), my measurements looks almost the same.. how come?
Of course I'm really stict with my diet and count every calorie, increasing them by 200 only when I hit a stuck point with my weight (usually every 2 weeks). Very stright with my training too going 4 times/week and working my ass off.
I'm afraid if I start cutting I'll back at September's size.. Already planning to have 10-12 weeks more of bulking but also don't want to become a fat ass (skin fold says 8.5% but in the mirror I think it's more an 11-12%).
