How much weight have you gained so far?

How much weight have you gained so far?

Not much at all really. Maybe 3 pounds. I was experimenting on seeing if I could minimize BF gain, but still pack on some muscle. I have definitely put on some muscle. Since it's right before summer right now too, I'm going to continue with the slower weight gain. I don't think I want to cut for summer ... I'd have to sacrifice my strength again. I'm not about to do that right now ...

Heh, could I use the 5X5 routine while cutting? I'm currently on Keto and have been using this routine for a couple weeks. My strength has already shot up the last 4 weeks of cutting.

 

[gettinlarger]

Westies, I'm not too sure about cutting. I don't think I would recommend the routine. It is based upon the fact that your strength will skyrocket, which contradicts all aspects of cutting.
