OK, I have basically given up on bulking for the time being as my body is refusing to put on weight no matter how much I eat. Fine, I'm OK with that...already have good size as it is, although I could be bigger. Best attribute is my thickness, which is extremely noticeable from the side, especially in my shoulders, upper back, traps and chest area...
That being said, I am doing another BP 3.0 run with the exception of doing Bench Press instead of Dips for chest because last week just to see where I was I ended up cranking out 5 or 6 reps at 225 lbs like it was nothing, which was more than I have put up on a flat bench since I tore my pec about 8 years ago, in fact haven't even attempted that weight(I got up to about 285 lbs on the decline). The funny thing is, while I am not gaining weight or even losing weight, I continue to get stronger. I am stronger now by far than I was even at 225 lbs.
Today was day 1 of Famine:
Squats(Warmup): 95 x 8/155 x 6/205 x 4/245 x 2
Squats: 245 x 6 x 6 x 6
Seated Cable Row: 200 x 6/220 x 6/240 x 6
1 Arm BB Row: 135 x 6 x 6 x 6
ChinUps: BW x 6/BW+20 x 6 x 6
Barbell Curls: 80 x 6
Incline DB Curls: 30DB x 6
Preacher Curls: 95 x 6
Overall not a bad workout...took in around 1500 cals or so, very little protein...mostly apples, potatoes, a little pasta and some fat...
