Progress Report... SIZE!!!

I have been on my current supplement cycle and lifting routine for the past 10 days. Just to recap, I am taking M5 preworkout, Cell-Drive during workout, Cell-Drive and Nectar Isolate immediately post workout, a Size shake 45 minutes later, and 1 or 2 more Size shakes throughout the day.

I get my weight and body fat tested on Monday afternoons. Last Monday, November 1st, I weighed 213.1 lbs with 13.7% body fat. Yesterday, November 8th, I weighed 218.0 lbs and was 15.0% body fat. Initially I was pretty impressed with myself, but after doing some math I realized that I had put on 3.5lbs of fat and only 1.5 lbs of muscle. Granted, I am trying to bulk up, but that is not necessarily the bulk I am trying to put on. I am not worried though. I went from doing a lot of cardio to doing none, and

I think I went a little bit overboard with the Size shakes.
One thing is for sure, JS Nitro Size shakes help you put on weight. I went through a bag in 1 week. All things considered, I had a great lifting week. I went up in most of my totals. And recovered very well from my workouts, which are pretty rigorous.

Today I squatted 405lbs 4times for my 5th set of 4 reps, which is something I have not done ever. My bench last week was depressingly low, but I realized that I hadn't benched heavy in over 4 weeks, and had worked shoulders the previous day. I thought I was close to 300lbs, but struggled to get 265 2x. I switched up my routine from last week, and should go into bench day pretty fresh. On standing straight barbell curl I did 2 sets 135lbs 4x, which impressed me. And my close grip bench press went up 10lbs to 205lbs for 4 reps. I deadlift only twice per month because it is pretty taxing on my lower back, but I did 405lbs 4x. I had planned on attempting 455lbs, but I wasn't really feeling it.

Overall, I am excited about the strength gains I have seen so far, but the ratio of fat-to-muscle that I put on is not what I was looking for. I am glad to gain strength, but can't put on that much fat.

The changes I am going to make are:
1. do only 1-1.5 Size shakes per day, and possibly try out a different weight gainer when I finish this bag.
2. do 15 minutes of long-slow-distance cardio before a few of my shorter workouts.

Getting bigger every day!
