3 weeks into a bulking cycle. All but one day in a caloric surplus (averaging almost 400 calories up every day).

Intense workouts are keeping things in check though. Not squishy yet.

Started at 146lbs (sustained average at the beginning of the month) and am currently sitting at a solid average of 151. A definitive 5 POUND INCREASE in just 3 weeks (and not much is fat by what I can see or measure - only up .6% BF = <1lb)... not too shabby!

The incredible part is how much my lifting has improved! Not just the amount of weights I'm lifting though...  weights HAVE climbed faster and higher this month than what used to take two months previously!

But endurance is off the charts!! I used to be dead after 45-60 minutes at the gym. Now I'm doubling and even TRIPLING the time at the same intensity and killing it!

**** Any doubt that carbs don't improve exercise sessions or they make an active person fat is completely out the window!

The higher the carb intake, the better the performance output. Period. 💪 ****

So you are lifting heavy weights for 2.5-3 hours at a time?

That's awesome! I've noticed a distinct difference with how I feel when I upped my protein. I simply wasn't eating enough for the amount of PiYo I was doing. Reined in the PiYo by half, increased the grams of protein to minimum of 100, et voila. That seemed to do it.
