A successful bulk can't be done without gaining fat, but you'll really start to notice when you make a lot of progress in the gym. I haven't been able to OHP more than 125 either.Yeah, believe me, I hear that. Being nearly 300 lbs myself a year and a half ago, even the slightest weight gain wigs me out. I'm at my most comfortable around 190-200. Currently I'm sitting at around 220 from trying to bulk during the winter
It took me a while this time to realize that I hit a plateau with my gains after my break about 2 weeks ago; I dropped 10% on all my compound lifts today and did pretty well (I haven't had a day where I "killed it" in a while, still waiting on that). I'll probably end up resetting my deadlift too since I was barely able to pull 325x4 last time I tried.
Spartan Santa, day 7/100Hoping to get back in step in the next week or two. Still need to work on sticking to my diet.
I know I can always lose it whenever and that it's beneficial, but it doesn't mean I have to be comfortable doing it is my motto. Anyways, got a good "early" morning run in. Gonna hit the weights hard next week and hopefully make some progress on a few lifts this week.
