As of now, I am more than a month in my 3 month bulking cycle in preparation for my first physique show scheduled on October 18th in Culver City/LA. With the guidance of my well accomplished NPC coach and owner of Jungle Fitness, Jon Jung, the plan is to have me to bulk from 138 pounds to 170/175 (the cut process I will discuss in a later post).
I have never been past 145 pounds and the thought of me being that big is hard for me to get mind around. I feel that my mental toughness will be the true test in this journey more over my physical strength. Clothes are not fitting anymore (I ripped 2 shirts taking them off already >_<), pants are super tight, and I have no more abs! It is honestly messing with my head on top of the fact that my social life is pretty limited due to my training and diet. No more nights of drinking with the boys, eating pizza with cookie dough oreos or afters ice cream! On the bright side, I am strong as hell!
The picture below was day 0, 5'6" 138 pounds. Today, I am 152.6 pounds and still climbing.
