I'd like to start by saying to thank you to Performax ( cubsfan815 R1balla) for the logging opportunity and best of luck to my fellow loggers ( FireTitan HokiePride).
I'll be using Massmax as part of a clean bulk. Diet will start at 3000 calories (+250 calories from maintenance). Macros will start at 20P(150g)/40C(300g)/40F(133g). I've had good luck with these calories/macros in the past, but will be adjusted as necessary to support the goal.
On this diet I'd expect to gain roughly 2lbs across 4 weeks. Normally on a +250 cal bulk I'll gain around 60% muscle and 40% fat. Which would give me 1.2lbs of muscle across 4 weeks.
I'll check my weight every Monday before I work out at lunch. I eat the same breakfast M-F and drink exactly a half gallon before I go workout, so I've found this weigh in time is actually more consistent than weighing when I wake up. The gym also has a handheld BF scale (OMRON). I know it isn't terribly accurate, but I've found it IS good at tracking relative progress when I have consistent hydration levels.
My realistic goal for Massmax is to simply help keep my appetite up and help with recovery. My "stretch goal" is that it helps me outperform my typical 60%muscle/40%fat ratio's when on a bulk. I'll reflect on both as I complete this log.
My lifting routine will be Monday-Friday. 3 days upper and 2 days lower. First sets each day will focus on power/strength, the remainder will by hypertrophy focused. I will alternate Chest/Arms and Back/Shoulder every other week as seen below.
