    Hey everyone it’s been quite some time since I last updated my log so here is a quick update on what’s been going on with me.

    College is going great, just finished my first semester. I managed to get all my exams done in fist try now leaves me with pretty much 2 full weeks off until the next semester starts.

    Bodybuilding wise I’m still doing the same things as before, I thought managing studying and bodybuilding will be hard but it really isn’t.

    <font face=”inherit”>I’ve been maintaining my weight since November at around 102-103 kg, eating 5000cals on training days and 4500 on rest days as I wanted to see if I can still grow some muscle while just maintaining current </font>weight<font face=”inherit”> and training hard af. Progress in the gym has been awesome, I’m getting stronger and touching weights I have never touched before but it just isn’t the same as when I was pushing my </font>bodyweight<font face=”inherit”> up. I thought to myself I’m </font>definitely<font face=”inherit”> leaving gains on the table at this point as I </font>know<font face=”inherit”> pretty much zero muscle was </font>built in this 3 month period. I won’t to improve and I know “maingaining”just won’t cut it.

    It was definitely a new approach which I never tried before but I can confidently say that for myself pushing the bodyweight up is absolutely necessary. But I guess I had to try it once.

    So current plan right now is to push my weight up another 3kg and then do a clean up phase. I thought about just doing it now but my training is flying, my appetite is great, body fat is not too high and body is responding very well so I see no reason to stop.

    Currently training Upper-Lower-rest-repeat and I’m absolutely loving it. I’ve managed to find the right amount of volume to recover and progress the lifts. I also like hitting the legs more than once a week, I’m not gonna lie the sessions are hard but super fun.

    So that’s pretty much it. I will be logging the sessions daily from now on as the main priority right now is to just build as much tissue as possible.
