Bulk Results

OK. Have seen lots of updates posted from other members recently so I thought I would drop mine into the mix.

This is the product of a 10 week bulk. Lifting 4x a week, cardio 2x a week.

Net result was a gain of 11.25 pounds, +1 inch on biceps, -1 inch of waist, dress shirt size 18.5. Waist shrinking was kind of surprising as I was really trying to go for purely for size; but, I have a really strong ectomorphic genetic predisposition even in the face of high caloric intake (4500 per day). Chest and arms are relatively lagging in my opinion so I will focus on them as I start to plan a new workout routine. Let me know what you guys think.

I agree with Gordon, you're made good, solid progress with your bulk. Kudos for bulking and also losing on your waist...difficult indeed.

Your pics are a great incentive for me. Thanks!

Definite Improvement

Great job Buffdoc - it's clear that the waist is more narrow and the shoulders are broader. Also, it looks to me that you have increased the size of your forearms considerably and I think I see some definition in your biceps that wasn't there in the before picture despite the increased size. That has to be a good sign! Do you know what your bodyfat % was before and after? I bet you have decreased even though your weight has increased.

Keep it up!

Totally hawt progress, 'Doc. I agree with Notbigenuff's observations, and I can't wait to see how your chest and arms will look after you're through with 'em.

thanks for the feedback. brent--i went for a HIT style training this time and it really worked well for me. Notbigenuff...good eye about the forearms, i have been getting alot of props over them recently and I don't even use an isolation training for them. i am going to go to a modified push/pull for the next 10 weeks or so and see what happens and also increase the cals to see if I can push up the weight a bit faster; however, i perfer lean mass gains over less quality weight any day.

Buffdoc, as impressive as these shots are, it seems to me that you have made enormous progress from a year ago!
I can only assume that your co-workers and patients must be making comments about those muscles bulging out all over!

great progress, buffdoc!

Buffdoc,
Just to echo everyone else. I noticed that in general you look harder and more on your way to 'chiseled' with more overall suggestions of shape and cuts, along with the hardness!


Keep up the good work!

Quick update. With all the media videos being posted figured I should throw one up too. This is from my camera so it is not exactly videocam quality but i think it is good enough. This is the result of a mini-cutting type diet routine, i will be going for absolute size in my next bulk. I am hosting these file at a cheap angelfire site so I am sure there will be band width limits--if somebody has extra space to host please let me know.

Please give me feedback.

Later,
buffdoc

Fantastic progress there mate! And at least you got the lighting levels right. As of today i've sacked my lighting engineer and camara man... oh feck! thats me!

BTW, what "stuff" have you been using?

Take care mate! And keep growing!

Unhappy What Happened?

After reading the positive feedback, I was psyched to see the results of your program. I get an error message saying that the posting didn't follow the terms of use for Angelfire!? Please advise if you're able to get it re-posted.

Hey Doc -- lookin' fabulous. I'm jealous of you, just as I'm jealous of most of the folks on the board. Your back looks incredible. But why no leg pics? Come on, hit me up

Thanks for the kudos. The lighting was purely accidental but I am glad that everybody thought it was OK. I have been getting messages with other members having difficulty assessing the anglefire page. My bud helped me get this hosted on Yahoo so it should now be good to go.

Ain't Technology Great?

Doc,

You look awesome! Your regimen certainly has paid off. Chest, back, & bis are all outstanding. Thanks for sharing with the group. Look out once you've finished your bulking!!

Just one word...

WOW!


Okay, a few more words as apparently the messager requires at least 10 characters - great progress. I'm especially impressed that you seem to have added size while increasing vascularity (no easy feat!).

Holy Cow!


BuffDoc, You look GREAT! Arms, pecs, tris, bis, lats (quick shot there in the turn) rhomboids and traps -- all bulging nicely!

Good job! Well Done!

Good luck with the bulking phase!
