Thanks BG for noticing my higher calories...I have REALLY been working hard on trying to get these higher AND keeping them high. I am SOOOO ready to get this bulking stage over with!! heehee
We might have to wait about a week on the pics though. As you can see by my weight above, I am experiencing major water retention right now!!

Try dropping your carbs down *just a little bit* for a day or two. It'll come off....on the other hand....that's part of bulking. Sucks, huh?!?!?!
As far as gaining size, it's hard to know if it's muscle, water or fat because we don't have any bf stats for you. I would say though that you're gains are pretty normal - going by calf & bi increases. Just keep those calories up! Doin' a GREAT job, IP!!!!!
Thanks SG!! I think that I am going to keep my calories up for now since it has taken me this long to finially get them up where they should be!! I think that the MAIN reason for the bloat is that lovely "time of the month"!! So I am not too worried about it yet!! heehee
