Honkey thank you for all the advice. Currently 5-6 days a week for the past year. To be honest with you, before that I was a couch potato. A regular drinker for 15 years & a smoker for 20 years. I quit the drinking and smoking after the separation and picked up my first year sober about two weeks ago.

Fitness had always been something I dreamed about & I had not even consider doing any sort of “extras” etc until I met a guy in the gym thats pretty hard core into lifting. He was the one that said a cycle would help me blow up rather quick as long as I continued training the same & ate properly. Thats when I started doing all the reading on it.

I will definitely implement what you said, to consistently put the weight on would you say aiming for 3000 calories a day would be right? Thanks again
