Bulking Up.

I remember in October, after that hectic 3 weeks of school + work, how I went to the gym with Pek and all he said was.. TIPIS PE KAU. Lost quite a bit of weight then and I think I was at my lowest weight in awhile at 73kg.

Ever since then, I have been bulking, not too aggressively, but definitely some force-feeding went on. I called my meals, 'feeding time'. Worked out aggressively, ate aggressively as well.

And so, 10 weeks on since then..

Yesterday I drove Pek off to the airport, and we saw the weighing scales for the luggage. Decided to jump on one.

80kg. Like finally. I am happy because this is quality mass. Although I'd like a lower percentage of body fats, I think this is good for now. 'Phase 1' is complete. =)

Now its about maintaining this body weight of 80kg, while slowly cutting down on body fat percentage and getting more lean muscle gain. I guess this would take 2 months or so. I am not complaining about the BFPs, hell no. Getting a lot of strength gains as well.

You know you're doing some things right when people start approaching you in the locker room and start asking if they can train with you that day. Or when people start asking what programs you are using.

I am turning into a gym rat. Hahah. But that is my escape. That, and hanging out at CnC all by myself. My 2 escapes.

But 1 thing I still hate doing is the eating.

At 75kg, you eat +500 calories to bulk up. At 80kg, the maintenance level of your caloric intake has now included that +500. For MAINTENANCE. UGH.

What 80kg of mass looks like.
