The Bulking Phase 3

Bulking Phase 3

Bulking: To add weight to your body (fat and/or muscle) by supplying your body with an excess of calories from food. This is what I am currently doing. There are two phases to working out and eating: the “cut” or the “bulk.”

So far, I have been through two phases of bulking (a total of 16 weeks) and I am about to start my third and last phase of bulking before doing a cut.

I am excited about this next phase of bulking because I get to build more muscle, but I am also excited that I will be doing a cut after these next eight weeks. Bulking requires eating an excess amount of calories everyday. Not going to lie though, I am starting to feel fat. I am looking forward to seeing some definition in my body during the cutting phase.

These next eight weeks will be both mentally and physically tough, but I am always up for the challenge and can’t wait to see how my muscles grow! Check out my progression photos below. The pictures on the left are from when I first started and the pictures on the right are 16 weeks in.

P.S. I get all my workouts from the Michael Matthews Thinner, Leaner, Stronger book, which can be purchased Here or on Amazon.
