So contest day I weighted in at 174.5 cutting from 205 . Pic on left was contest day. Pic on right 8 days later and 200 pounds. I did not wait to start the bulk I increased to 6000 Cals right away and still keeping it lean. I did binge for 2 days which left me retaining so much water I literally could not lift my arms and barely walk. Today I weighed myself at 210 when I woke up. My body is absorbing everything I throw at it. I am loving these gains. Only thing I am hating is the way the carbs are bloating me through the day. Wake up lean and go to bed looking 6 months pregnant. Hoping to be at least 250 by end of the year. Still dialing in the diet. Ground bison and beef will be main proteins this bulk.
I placed 5th in my contest.. the short guys dominated me so wanting to move up to heavier class.
