I think that i am carrying a fair amount of fat and if i cut i think that i would notice a difference, i just keep telling myself that i am bulking and don't worry about the fat that will come off later. It is frustratingly slow but i keep plodding on.
I find my journal helps to keep me motivated. Good luck with your Journal and your goals.  |
It is a long hard road and I think that until you have something worth maintaining it will remain that way, although I wouldn't know because I've never been there.
I noticed at the beginning of your log you said you had slimmed down from 14 stone, I did the same, that change was very noticeable and rewarding, however trying to put on muscle is way harder and seems much less forgiving for errors and general slacking.
It's hard in this game to not compare yourself to others and sometimes reading their outrageous lifting claims and unbelievable 12 week transformations just demotivates (well it does me anyway), I guess the thing that we need to remember is that the only person we are competing against is ourselves...that is unless we agreed to a 100kg benching challenge!
I'll say it again, you're doing good mate, progressing well and on your way. Keep it up and I'll keep on reading.
Sorry for the ramble
