If you decide to start your journey of gaining muscle and going from skinny to buff then you will encounter things you will dislike or even hate! Gaining muscle is simple, but not easy. Every skinny guy in the world can come to this blog and find all he needs to gain muscle but only few of them will actually succeed. That’s the sad part! :( But I hope you and I will be exceptions.

Now, when you start training and gaining muscle you will (most likely) dislike these things:

1. Changing Your habits

Body Transformation Challenge continues. I love the training and it’s time for an update on routine I do. I am rereading great book “Practical Programming” by Mark Rippetoes and I’m loving it.

Eating is fine, I keep eating at least 5 times a day and drinking milk. Body looks improved in the mirror and I’m enjoying it too. With two months left of challenge I’m confident I will be at my heaviest weight ever after it finishes! ;)

Haven’t updated but been working out yesterday (lifting and incorporating new stuff, cardio – boxing and jumping rope). Will go to gym to do some cardio after every workout, since my stamina sucks now. And believe me, jumping rope is great for that, just look at the boxers, like Floyd Mayewhether and others, even M. Ali was “dancing” with it.

Day 22:

1 litre of milk + protein shake 840 cals
Chicken and salad
Can of beans 300 cals
Pistachios
Baked pudding (loads of it)
Ice cream 280 cals
4 Muesli bars 250 cals

Now I’m off to eat breakfast, then off to work later on!

Cheers,
Adrian

Chicken soup
2 peanut butter sandwiches (about) 400cals
Soup 200 cals
Protein shake 550 cals
2 sandwiches with chicken and ham 400cals
Pistachios 200 cals

Don’t know why but failed to get 3000 cals yesterday. Hmm…

Also had a light workout (4th already in total). Now taking weekend off from workout and back in the gym on Monday! :)

Cheers
