Whew! Thanks for noticing this! I was wondering how he had energy to get get out of bed! Lol. Rocket, not picking just watching out for you. Diet is the hard part of building the better body for sure.

As I said at the beginning of this log I train alone at home and I think I do a pretty good job of pushing myself, that being said, knowing I will be recording this every evening has push me to a new level, a few extra pounds an extra set, an extra Shake.............. Thanks folks of AM !!!

The Nasty Mass I believe is pushing my strength up a little already I can't wait till I get another week of it in !!
 
Strong OHPs Rocket! Nice job!
 
I agree. Strong OHP's! How's the rotator and shoulder doing?

Yeah, sometimes you have to force yourself to eat to keep the calories up. Spoonful of pb, couple tablespoons of dextrose, some condensed milk added to the shake, etc

Add some powdered PB to a chocolate protein shake for yummyness! But adding in some heavy whipping cream is sinfully delicious!
 
Shoulder as OK for pressing a barbell, I have a hard time stabilizing dumbbell so I just stay away from them or do them very light.

The peanut butter is a great idea, I lone peanut butter is it is also like a treat. I have been over weight my whole life and have worked very hard to live a fit life style, so I hope you can understand how hard it is for me to eat extra calories, I also have a hard time when I see the scale go up...Is it Muscle or Fat ??????????

I do appreciate all the help here it has motivated me even more !!! Thank you AM.
 
Agree with you Rocket. Most members here are still young studs and don't have the older lifter issues we experience (such as having a very hard time with losing excess fat in the stomach area.).

I'm one of those individuals that believe in nutrient timing. I schedule the bulk of my cals around my workout. I did a cut where I had my cals down around 1900. I hit a wall and couldn't lose anything. Granted, I had dropped my bf down to around 13-14%. I did a slow bulk increasing my cals. Jumped up to 200 but kept my bf the same. Unfortunately doing so increased my metabolism. I currently am 5'10" weigh 187(about 12% bf) and have to consume 3500 cals just to maintain. I'm 51 also.
The point I'm trying to make is sometimes you have to increase cals to lose weight. Just do it smartly. And you have to increase to gain muscle. Some things I do and don't:
Do - consume simple carbs, rice, veggies, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, dextrose
Don't - consume breads, much pasta, refined sugars, etc

I workout in the am, so I consume 2/3rds of my cals by 2pm. Dinner is usually about 700 cals and then I have a pre-bed shake. That's what I've found works for me. YMMV
 
turff49 --- Thanks!
 
No offense turff49 but dextrose is just a man made refined sugar. Rocket if you want to add carbs to a post workout shake my advice is to add fruit like bananas and pineapple and some white rice, even though white rice is refined I find it doesn't bloat me near as bad as brown rice or some of the other crappy carbs like maltodextrin or dextrose. Dextrose and maltodextrin are cheap man made carbs from corn, your body does not digest corn, don't believe me next time you eat corn tell me it don't come out the same way it went in.

No offense taken.
Dextrose(glucose) is good to take with your preworkout and amino's and or right after workout..it's absorbed directly into the bloodstream and gives your muscles the energy you need. If I'm not mistaken it comes from several different plants and not just corn. Personally I think it's a good source of carbs. It's not in the same category as cane sugar.
Bananas are a good source too but not everyone has a taste for them. Dextrose has no taste. There are several "glucose" products on the market.
 
Don't be scared rocket those extra lbs you see on the scale are a good thing :)

I have been trying to follow the advice I have been getting, my shoulder routine on Thursday was pretty much what was mapped out for me at the start of this log, My calories are up today and I have put on one pound every day so far on the Nasty Mass. I am keeping a close eye on my abs, I do fear "Getting Fat Again" but I also want to gain size. (Which at 56 years old is not easy) Once again thank you everyone for your help and taking this journey with me!

Nice job in here Rocket! As an older lifter myself I keep track of waist size as an indication of fat gain. At this age the fat goes straight to the waist!

I do feel the Nasty Mass kicking in. Strength is up, Lats are looking fuller chest feels harder. Hope to get to the gym tomorrow in the PM for some Cardio.
 
Up another pound this morning, Love the idea of adding muscle, but it is hard to watch the scale move up after working so hard to lose 25lbs of fat.

I heard that.

Easy remedy though: stay off the scale.

I never really use the scale unless I feel I'm losing weight. Get you some calipers and just check once a week. Do the calipers at the same locations and at the same time. Use a sharpie and mark the locations and then take a pic. Then you can go back and look at the pics to make sure you got the right location. After several times doing it, it will become routine and second nature. Weight can fluctuate. Mine as much as 6lbs over the course of a day depending on consumption, water, bowel movements, and workouts.

Had a great shoulder workout today, that is the most weight I have ever moved since I bought this machine, it is day 11 and the Nasty Mass is kicking in!! I'm up 5lbs and feel very hard!! Next week life and training should be back to normal.

This is the GOOD kind of weight to add on though! ;) The mirror is where I really judge myself. Of course, I'm one of those guys that no matter how much muscle I put on, I see myself as small.
 
Not Sure About Those Spider Crawls ??

When you have worked most of your life to keep weight off, it is hard to see it come back. I know it is the right kind of weight but still a little hard.

It is funny how we notice the changes in our bodies, as I was put on my Speed Stick Deodorant today, I was thinking my arm pits were never this deep and hard to get the deodorant into and that's when it hit me, Since I have been taking the Nasty Mass my lats have gotten much fuller, creating a very deep pit. A check in the Mirror and I do believe my lats are popping like never before!!!!! The rest of my body is definitely harder also. I think this is some Good Stuff!!

Tomorrow I am off to the NHRA Race at Maple Grove PA. Will be in Del Warsham's DHL/Red Line Oil Funny Car Pit ! Invalid Link Removed
 
I did spider crawls today. Crazy, crazy, painful burn. Trust me.
