Training to eat is almost as important as training your body, I know I found it hard. Are you gaining the weight you want to lately?

_________________
My Log

Well, I'm aware of the fact that eating is the weakest part of my program. I started the nutritional program I'm currently using about 4 months ago and I've put on about 7kg of mass...It's almost as much as I've put on on my previous years of training, so on my scale that would be quite good I suppose, but I don't have any previous experience on proper mass building so I don't know whether that's good on any general scale. I don't know how fast I should be able to build mass... I weigh 78,5kg with my training gear on and I eat about ~4200 cal per day...I'm not entirely sure whether that's enough...

Also recently I've been working on setting up my own business and as I'm at the very beginning unfortunately I'm not making much money yet, so I'm having a hard time affording all the food and supplements that are required for building mass....

Top Tip: Buy in bulk. Get friendly with a store that sells whole foods, they can add a large sack of rice, beans or whatever to their usual order from the supplier at cut price, give them a little extra for their trouble of course. You will have enough food for a LONG time and it will be costing you pennies over the course of the year.

You seem to be doing great though, the random advice is just so i can feel like I am adding something to this place.

I'm traveling to Denmark for the Copenhagen Fashion Week, so I won't be posting this week...Will have to do some extra workouts next week...

Safe travels, Patrik!

Ok, I'm back from my travels! It's funny how I immediately get the feeling that I'm losing everything I've worked so hard for when I break my training routine even for just a few days, even tho it's probably not true. The trip was good nevertheless and perhaps even the break from training; I did many records today in my workout! Also I was the second runner up in the most important fashion design competition in northern europe!

Ok, so I trained my shoulders today.
