The bulk to 275 lbs continues! We’re not quite there yet, but for one month in, hitting 254 lbs. this week means we’re on the right track.
The last two weeks, I slightly increased my carbohydrate intake on training days to raise total calories.
See my weekly tracker here to keep up with my changes over time in one place!
This week, I’m not changing my macros again, but I did make some more changes to my drug amounts.
Week 4 Check In
Weigh In: 254.0 lbs
This is pretty great progress, up from 251.2 lbs last week, and my starting point of 237.6 lbs at the beginning of this bulk on 6/30.
Cookbook Giveaway! Can You Guess The Time Difference Between These Two Videos?
I’m giving away a free copy of my cookbook, High Protein Meals for Building Muscle, to the person with the closest guess for how much time is between these two videos. It’s important to take check in pictures and videos to document your progress, and I’m curious to hear your guesses for how far apart these were taken.
You guys are going to want to tune in to the next Bulk Vlog! I’m going to explain the difference between the two videos photos this week, and try to get you a full day of eating on the road as Ali and I make our way back to Florida at the end of the week.
Stay up to date! Follow along with my Road to 275 Bulk Vlogs on YouTube here! New videos drop every Friday.
Bulking Meals on Repeat
Last week, I shared my favorite cream of rice protein bowl I’ve been eating every single day. I use Vedge Nutrition plant-based protein powders (you can save 15% on your orders with code BODYBUILDINGVEGAN) and top my bowl with a high protein dessert from Green Bites Go (Get 22% off your Green Bites orders with code #BODYBUILDINGVEGAN)
I’m still enjoying these cream of rice bowls every darn day, but I’m sharing more variety from this week:
If you’re looking for more sweet meal ideas, protein pancakes always hit the spot!
I also put together some interesting savory meals, like instant mashed potatoes with veggies and Say Grace Protein Shreds (use code BODYBUILDINGVEGAN to get 10% off). Simple, and super macro friendly.
Hear me out with this next one. If you like split pea soup, this is like the BodybuildingVegan high protein version. I blend peas and nutritional yeast, then top that with Say Grace Protein Shreds and ketchup. Again, super simple, and can’t beat that it’s packed with 76.6 grams of protein!
Looking to make more enjoyable, high protein vegan meals like this? Buy my cookbook: Simple High Protein Meals for Building Muscle. With 30+ high-protein, macro-friendly vegan recipes, this book is built for athletes and anyone looking to fuel their body without the guesswork.
My PED Changes
As indicated in my bulk tracking sheet, this week, I pushed my testosterone up from 500mg a week to 750mg a week, and I’m keeping the primo where it’s at. The goal is to continue to get bigger. And before anyone asks, yes, you can be vegan and use steroids.
The reason for the change this week is, I wanted to raise my test dosage a little bit just to make sure that my estrogen wasn’t getting pushed down too much from the primo.
Outside of that change, I’m going to keep training hard in the gym. I’m really excited to see what I can do growth wise this week.
