About three weeks ago I decided that it was time to get huge.  So along with professional trainer/motivator I decided to take on this feat with a little help from well....lets just call it the medicine cabinet.  When trying to gain muscle mass in a short amount of time it requires you gain an extreme amount of weight.  My arrival weight on May 9th was about 187lbs my current weight is 200.5.  I am about half way through this loading phase and should top out around 210-212 in the next 3 weeks. 

At first I imagined this was going to be the hardest physical challenge I have ever put my body through.  What I didn't realize is that this was going to be the hardest mental challenge I have ever gone through.  For those of you on a diet and hating it imagine having to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours and consistently being stuffed and feeling tired because of it.  I wake up tired, I lift tired, and I sit at work tired for the vast part of every week.  From time to time I will get a shot of energy and get all fired up but this is very rare. 

Coming towards the end of week 3 I am noticing a a transformation under the layer of fat and my strength has increased drastically.  Basketball starts here in a week so that will be my true test to see if I have lost any flexibility.  3 more weeks of uneasyness just to reach a goal that I thought wasn't possible.  My hat is off to those of you who body build or maintain such a rigorous diet such as my brothers.
