The Boogie log!

[CohibaRobusto]

With that being said my ability to eat what it takes to grow is the hardest part for me personally. I just get full so fast when I am eating good calorie dense food. Any suggestions to boost my appetite will be much appreciated!

.

I wish I had some good advice, but I deal with the same issue. I think we probably have similar builds because you seem to be tall and relatively thin like me. So I have to eat a lot.

Only thing that helps me really is if I go a few hours without eating, I kind of remind myself that I better eat something because if I wait too long it'll be harder to hit my calorie goals.

It is definitely tough. I don't like it very much either. Picking up the weights is fun. Picking up the fork is a pain in the ass.

I like CJ's method. He makes sure he hits protein goal and uses carbs and fat however he needs to hit the calories. If it means eating ice cream in bed, that's what he does.

In the same boat. I would love to get to 225. Taking it one week at a time trying to put on a pound. Sitting at 198 in morning. Hitting 4300 calories a day just bumped up from 4000. Have my base diet down hitting my protein carbs and fat. It is no fun doing the eating part, but I know it’s so important. Keep at it man!!!

This is what I do too. Prioritize protein then whatever else it takes. Pretty sure I probably picked it up from CJ.

Salmon and rice works great for bulking, you can eat 1000 cals and be hungry an hour later it digests that quick

 

[Boogieman]

Thanks Trump, I will get some Salmon saw some at Costco the other day that looked good.

What are you using for dips? I need to get something for my home gym.

 

[CohibaRobusto]

Good job Boogie!

 

[Boogieman]

Jin, my wife bought me a dip/pull-up station, when I get back home I will get a pic. Its a solid unit, I have seen some cheap inexpensive ones but this is a good one. Only issue is it takes up about a 3'x4' space.

 

[Boogieman]

DL, awesome advice I have always found trying to keep track of every single calorie to be frustrating and time consuming! So much so that I just dont do it...I will try this method and let you all know how it goes. CJ eats his ice cream in bed...thats legit!

 

[Boogieman]

Rest day for me boys, I am trying this 4 day split, quite a common split...not sure about 3 days off, but will see how it goes!

Tomorrow back and biceps!

Rock on you monsters!!!!!

Rest is good. I have a hard time making myself do it. I always try to remember that the biggest dudes on here advocate it to no end.

Boogieman, do you have cables at home?

Doing 15lbs front cable raises 4x12 for 6 months completely changed the way my shoulders looked and felt.

I need to do more front raise work. It will help out my bench too.

No I do not but I do at the gym, I will work those in when able to get in there!!!

Side note did you watch the fights? Dammit I was rooting for McGregor...he handled it like a boss! But it was a good fight, no regrets.

Poirier fought well, go Merica!!!!!

McGregor will be back!

Here's a good explanation of how cable raises complement DB raises, to hit the target muscle through its full contractile range...
