I've been on a new run for a couple weeks with some changes I dont always see. I try to learn and improve from everything I do and was hoping to get some feed back on my assumptions to make sure I'm on the right track.
When I made the decision to start lifting and dieting everything I read pointed me in the direction of lean bulking up to my goal weight and body fat. After a couple years of doing that every way I could think of I'm figuring out lean bulking isnt right for me.Dont get me wrong anything that was pure fat before I can flex solid now but just dont have the size I should in my opinion. Well for awhile now I've seen alot talk about eat eat eat and lift lift lift screw the programs so to speak so this run has been basicly just that with pretty good results so far . Heres were Im wanting the feed back.
This run is basicly xxx xxxx/xxx xxxx any days Im working out Im eating meat and carbs ,days Im not Im eating meat and fat, no more counting cals ,carbs ,fat ect, just f"%king eating till im full as often as I can, dont get me wrong I'm not slamming candy bars and burgers, I've been on diet long enough I have a very good idea of were Im at at all times and its clean eating .Same with working out no more program just days ,3 way split as many days a week as possible, no more set and rep counts just go as many sets as needed to hurt and some times then some, anyway you get the idea of what im doing.
In just a few weeks ive put on 8 pounds ,and just looking ,my gut that i always have to fight, isnt increasing nor gaining fat anywhere else ,but i can see the muscle gain which isnt normaly the case for me. I'm assuming that since before I started lifting I ate 5 to 6000 cals a day then dropped to 2400 to 3000 to get leaner I screwed up and made my body hold instead of gain so even though the last couple years hasnt been a waist it could have been better.
Also i'm assuming that if I keep going this way eventually my growth will force my body to put all its energy into maintaining my muscle and lean me out . Or will at some point I just get fat power lifter type thing happening.
Also to maintain steady though this run do you think I need to up dose in middle of run or just try to steadily increase food.
The main reason I have never took the current approach to a cycle is I dont want to be 350 lbs and cut I want to hit around a bulky 245 and cut and always thought thius way would push me way past my target, have I just been looking at it wrong or ?
Opinions would be very helpful and appreciated . Hopefully the above came off the way I meant it I have a horrible habit of meaning one thing and the world hearing something else, I swear at times I think I'm saying blue and the world is hearing black....lol any way this run is giving some good results finally and Id like to fully understand why and exactly the tru key difference from what I normaly do.
