2010 Bulking

I've just competed in the BNBF Scottish natural bodybuilding competition and I placed 4th in my class. It's not the result I was hoping for but I'm pleased I placed at least. I will be taking a year out and training for the 2012 competition. From now until then I will be training to get much bigger, I'll post my training and diet here to keep track of how I'm doing!

* Shake = 400ml milk, 1 banana, 2 scoops weight gainer or whey protein, 1 scoop oats, 1 tbsp EFA oil or flax seed powder.
* Homemade protein bar = 3 cup oats, 4 cups whey protein, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 cup milk, 1 cup raisins and crushed almonds.

This is my plan, it will change due to how I'm feeling or how my day is going but I will try and maintain it as much as possible. I am sitting around 76kg at the moment which is way too light. I'm trying to bulk back up to 86kg in the next few months which is where I was sitting before I started cutting, but I hope to be a bit leaner this time. The ultimate goal is 200lbs (91kg) lean by the end of the year.
