Get Strong or Die Trying

I clocked in at 201 this morning.  I'm about 14% though.  However the way I cycle my diet every 8 weeks I go from 11% to 14% then back down to 11%.  I put on a little over a pound a week on my high carb weeks, and the other 4 weeks are high protein weeks, and I put on a little under a pound a week, and lean out.  So it evens itself out.  I gain 8 pounds in 8 weeks, and have been for a while.

My avatar is a few months old, my arms are a little bigger now, but my lats really took off.

you kinda lost me on that one

Take a look at the other competition thread Manchild.  People wanted separate contests for the ones bulking, and the ones cutting.  Since all of us have an above average physique, it makes no difference if we're bulking or cutting for 6 months.

hmmm.  this looks interesting.  i think i want to partake.

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

I'm definately doing a clean bulk. What are you guys' plans?

Shut up and lift

Bulk.  If I start getting fat I'll do some cardio and clean up a little.  I'm not worried about it for half the time though since I do massive amounts of cardio every day.

i'm with rollingstone on this one.

it's going to be a DOWNRIGHT FILTHY bulk for me.  

i'm cruisin' at around 190 lbs right now.  10% BF  just over 16 inch biceps. 
My goal is to bulk up to 225, and get mid 17's on the biceps.  it's going to be GLORIOUS!

what kind of training techniques are ya'll gonna utilize during this competition?
(yes.. i know that gains are mainly dependent upon the diet, but i'm still curious)

i already know how i'm going to train

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

I dunno....you can definately gain more weight with a dirty bulk...but isn't this sport about being healthy?

Ah, to each his own gentlemen.

BTW, I am officially offering a spot to Bulkingup....he makes a valid point!

But no more exceptions!
Welcome!

My plan is to go to the gym at look at the weights. If I'm consistent, I should gain about 1.5lbs of lean muscle per week.

meh.. i'm young though.  i may not be able to run a mile without getting winded, but i'll be FLIPPING HUGE, and that's what i want.   i'll get back into shape rather quickly when i focus on cardiovascular activity in addition to a diet with a lowered fat/carb ratio

Thanks stock...I'm looking forward to a long winter bulk.
This little competition will make it that much more fun!
Thanks again!

Since the total is six, and Bulkingup makes seven, I added him in bold.  If someone gets injured, or scared and can't continue, he fills their spot.  I'll do the same with Soccerking.
