VECTOR , Doggcrapp, Progressive Calories

pfresh said:
Calories are at 5050 now but unfortunately I have been out on the floor at work way more hustling around so I’m sure that my energy expenditure during the day has been way up because I have been running around a lot lately. Sorry I can’t control that variable.

You should mark this in your updates so its easier to keep track week to week for anyone following along
How are you breaking down your calories?
What are your %'s? etc
You should post your current meal plan and how it deviates from the past so people can learn from your experience.

This is why you log, so we see and understand how your plan was laid out and how it corresponds to the client/individual running the log

I will for sure do this for you guys. I am swamped with work stuff this week but will try and give lots of details for the weekend.
 
That’s a boatload of food lol

That’s a lot of poop to be holding if you’ve been gaining 2ish pounds a week to only 0.8lb. However, if your expenditure is higher from work I guess that could offset the increase.

Nice update

I cut back on the dairy and the bloat seemed to go away, I was really pounding the milk before. So I am eating a lot more meat now, other than that didn’t really change anything. My job has been a bit more physical lately though, probably burning a lot more calories during the day.

So calories have remained the same as before, or still ramping up, or are they down?

Ramping . Next week is the last week of ramping. I may end the log there. I may decide to change things up at that point, I haven’t decided what I am going to do yet .
 
Cardio day - Never a Fun Day !!
 
the boring cardio day:( I like to do cardio outside but sometimes you have no choice than to do it inside starring at the same thing for 45 minutes ha

It’s so cold outside here that when I got to work this morning and unlocked the door I thought it was still locked because it was frozen shut. Going to have to skip the outdoor cardio for now
 
Looking good brother, and what is the total increase in weight now? I can't remember where you started.
 
About 8 degrees here at 6:33 pm

I’m up about 13 pounds. I think that the gains would have been much cleaner had I taken a better approach and not increased calories like a mad man. The start of the log said I was ten and a half percent body fat but the week before that I was scanning closer to 11. So I’d say right now I’m up 3-3.5 percent body fat . I think if someone were to be less reckless and maybe aim to gain about half as much weight as I did, the gains would have been mostly muscle. I’d say ramp calories at half of what I did and start ramping later into the vector run, would work out a lot better in my opinion.

I think the best way to continue to gain is slow.
Sometimes you feel like you can add 25lbs and on that day you might be able to but your nervous system isnt ready and you will likely fall back and stall out. Slow increases like that give your body enough time to keep up and slowly grow.
Keep up the good work brother your killing this.

I seem to be making good gains and it’s nice to have six different workouts to go through, it keeps things interesting.

Yep I agree. I love a 6 day split because you can really hit each workout hard. It's nice because it doesn't feel like your doing the same routine over and over since it's a whole week split.
