Bulking

It’s nearly impossible to grow muscle mass in a caloric deficit, so when one wants to make gains they must eat: LOTS! I have been looking to put on a couple pounds of lean muscle, so I have been eating a ton & lifting heavy. Above is a progress picture with a brief description of changes that I’ve made to my diet & workout routine.

 

Fall Bucketlist

It is Fall here in the United States, so I have compiled a list of my favorite Fall activities. It’s only the middle of October & I’ve almost checked everything off of my list. What are your favorite Fall things to do?

• Decorate your home with Fall themed decorations (leaf garlands, pinecones, burlap ribbon, wreaths, pumpkins, etc.
• Light Fall scented candles (my favorite is pumpkin vanilla)
• Drink some hot apple cider
• Go apple picking
• Make yummy desserts with said apples
• Go to a pumpkin patch
• Carve pumpkins
• Watch scary movies all cuddled up in blankets
• Go on a hayride
• Experience a haunted house
• Run/bike a trail and take in the beautiful changing leaves
• Rake leaves & then jump in the pile
• Take a walking tour of all the Halloween decorated houses in your neighborhood
