201 today! I have hit the mark and am now satisfied with this bulk. I will just keep gaining as I can and then lose whatever fat I gain when I start cutting in three weeks. This has been the most successful bulk I have ever witnessed, let alone done. I am VERY happy and look much better.

I cannot wait to see what I look like at 5% with my newly formed LBM! I can still feel my lower ab veins and am holing probably 10-15 pounds of water. As soon as I switch to a controlled calorie diet, I am afraid of what I will look like!

Nationals 2008, here I come!

Also, no one will be able to diss my back or traps anymore. They are growing like Pee Wee Herman’s Shvantz while attending a peep show.

FLAWLESS DIET! I ate tuna packets and almonds all day at the aquarium. I have posted this, but here is what is up:

Marc Lobliner, Eight weeks into bulking starting at 160lbs and now at ~205lbs. I have logged every detail of this bulk and have been on a ZERO to few carbohydrate diet and have been doing cardio daily. This is the first picture that I have taken since my bulk and it was taken while training chest with my brother in his basement while visiting him in Illinois. This explains the children's toys and bad lighting.

To say I am pleased with the results is an understatement. The plan was to bulk clean and gain as much LBM with as little fat as possible. While I did gain some fat, I gained a lot of lean mass. I also enjoyed between one and four dirty cheat meals a week. Pizza and sushi rule!

Back home in NC. Time to tear this up and get some more results.



SUMMARY OF THESE TWO WEEKS

210 is here and it is gametime! In the next 12 weeks, I will cut back down to less than 5% bodyfat and then do this all over again. What a successful bulk: 50lbs in eight weeks! The GOAL: 195 onstage at the Nationals in November, 2008. Let’s do this!
 
Marc
Great progress! If you gained any fat at all it must be between your ears (lol) as I don’t see any. One question. Was there any muscle memory associated with this weight gain? Or is this an all time high for you? Props to ya.

This is an all time high at this bodyfat. I have weighed 295 before, but not at 6% bodyfat!

We will see how I look without any bloat and in contest shape again. Only time will tell....8-10 weeks to be exact!

10 x 3 AFTER heavy sets AND KILLER LEG PRESS was off the chain! It is diet time and now I am on my quest to see how much LBM I REALLY gained.

I have incorporated 10 x 3 into a new hybrid program and it seems to be working well. Experimentation is the key to constant gains!

Chuck is an awesome guy! We trained HARDCORE in a HARDCORE gym and got it DONE! We were on fire and tossing weight around like Britney Spears tosses her panties off. It was an unreal session! We then ate and rolled out like Jay Z in a red Cadillac. I LOVE training with new people and Chuck is now one of my few real friends—he is an AWESOME guy and an inspiration to train with and know.

And, Chuck is a huge freak as well. I respect huge freaks.

I took cardio off today and probably will cut cardio out for a while. I have been very busy and I have time to train, but the 30-45 minutes of cardio is cutting into Kami and Katie time and THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! I have been traveling for 3 of the last 4 weeks and I miss my baby. FAMILY FIRST! I miss Kambria and she needs Daddy time when I am not traveling. Thus, I will train and get huge and lean and cut calories a bit and NOT CHEAT AT ALL to make up for the lack of cardio. I would do anything for my baby, she is the best! I come home and she says, “Dadda beat me up!” I then throw her into the couch and tickle the heck out of her for a good 20-30 minutes. This is better than any cardio and I’d rather have a fat ass and do this than miss out on this AMAZING child. I really do love her.

I had to go to Wal Mart yesterday to buy more salmon packets for traveling and she pushed around the cart the whole time and did it for over an hour! She has a future in athletics with that fast twitch power.

My wife is still amazing and she is the most beautiful pregnant person ever. When I am not traveling (I am in a hotel ALONE right now), I just sit and put my hand on her belly and feel our little boy Thomas Harrison kick the living hell out of my wife. I actually yelled at her stomach and told him to calm down and kick slower, because Scivation doesn’t believe in HIIT while dieting and I know that Thomas is getting shredded and striated for the big contest in late March—when he pops out into my arms and into the world. We wouldn’t want him to lose lean mass.

I miss my family a TON. I am in HOTLANTA until tomorrow and I will be home around 9pm tomorrow night. I then fly out at 6am to Dallas on Monday and am there until Thursday LATE at night. I then leave for CALI on Monday of the next week. The good news is that my training and diet are actually AMAZING! I feel good, look good, but I am starting to wear out a bit.

I arrived at 8:30 am after a 6am flight and got situated, checked into the hotel, ate some packed chicken, almonds and green beans, and went to Gold’s! It was a great session and I broke some PRs (since I powerlifted)! I felt awesome and strong!

Diet is on point and I am eating as clean as someone can eat! I am actually getting leaner and being on point even while traveling like a maniac.

Tomorrow, I have a couple meetings and then I am back in the gym slamming some chest. YEAH BUDDY!

As for diet, I have frozen broccoli, green beans, chicken and pouch tuna. I also have Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide, peanut butter and Orange Xtend. Here is what I ate today while traveling:

Meal 1 (3am) Eggs
Meal 2 (7am) Tuna and almonds
Meal 3 (10am) Chicken, green beans, almonds
Meal 4 (PW, 1pm) Chicken Fajita Omelet and 8 egg whites (CLEAN)

What a wonderful day. Tomorrow, it is time to MURDER some back with my buddy Mike Bell (nattybber) in his awesome home gym. We will film some of it and take some pics of us getting our swole on.

Chest today was amazing and I am still cramping up. I have veins on my veins on my chest. I love this stuff!

As for sleep, I have decided that I am done with this four hour stuff. I will now get eight hours a night (when Kami lets me). I have restructured my schedule to make this happen. We will see how long it lasts. HAHA.

This trip gets an A+ on diet. I am getting super lean again and look to have the same condition at 202 as I did at 180 last year! YES! National time baby!

I trained as soon as I landed yesterday because I read an email on my Blackberry from a distributor that pissed me off and I had to blow off some steam before replying. Or else I would have unleashed the Xtend-Rage. I crushed shoulders and then worked out of my home office. I then played Mr. Mom from 6:30pm on because Katie went to a MILF Association meeting (just kidding, just some Mom’s chillin’ and grubbing. Grubbing? Yes, they are all pregnant. Them chicks can eat!).

Tonight, Ron G aka the Asian Disaster and his brother Kevin, both members of the NC Chapter of Team Scivation, are coming down to shoot a hardcore training video at 7pm. We will be slamming deadlifts and some hammies. It will be super intense because these guys are in it to win it! Both are National level bodybuilders and both are jacked. We will be sure to crush it for the homies and pour out a little Xtend for the homies that have passed away.

Tonight, Part One of the Scivation Hardcore Training Video Series will be complete. YEAH BUDDY!

Friday night was amazing! Ron’s Mom cooked up some sashimi, sukiyaki and gyozas we got our grub on! I didn’t eat much rice or carbs, but ate enough sukiyaki (beef) to fill up about ten of me! It was awesome and we all had a great time.

Kevin, Ron and I killed deadlifts Friday night and then came back and KILLED arms the next day. If we train together even once a month we will be ENORMOUS! Did I mention these freaks are national level NPC bodybuilders as well.

The deadlift video should be up today or tomorrow!

I just put an order in. Killer deal on the Xtend btw. I can now give the mega-doseing a go for a resonable price.

I'm stil sitting on a vasocharge so it'll def. be in my next order. I can't wait to try it out!

Another killer session at Gold’s Venice! I mixed it up and hit chest for the second time this week. I might switch it up and do seven days a week and instinctive training for a little bit to see what happens, but am unsure. I will see how I do this week and take it from there. The body is not a textbook and it is VERY smart and will adapt easily. Now might be a good time to throw it a curveball!

I am excited to come home tomorrow night and start next week fresh. Orange Xtend is now out there and Scivation is on fire. Keep your eyes open for more cool things from Scivation!

Legs are gone. I just kept going. It was nasty. Leg veins were popping like never before and I almost had to limp out of there. I decided to sprint PWO (Yes, I know we DO NOT recommend that), just to do it. Man, it felt pretty good!

My diet has been awesome and I cannot wait to weigh in this week. I am sure I have made great progress and I look much leaner. 5% here I come….again!

Thursday, Ernie, IFBB PRO Henderson Gordon and I crush chest and biceps. YEAH BUDDY!

I am looking forward to Christmas week and the extra TIME I will have with Kami and my beautiful wife. Last night, I was SO JETLAGGED after a redeye with no sleep and a day of work, I could only baby-bodyslam Kami for 20 or so minutes and then I had to sleep a bit on the couch. I then woke up, gave Kami her bath, and got more work done. I am now fully rested and back to 95%.

I weighed 195 this morning and my abs are deeply etched and IN. 5 more lbs and 5% is all mine! I am loving this!
