For the past 6 months, I’ve hit a plateau in my bulking.
I was so inconsistent with the bulk and started to slowly lose 0.5 lbs a week.
Until one day I got fed up.
But I decided to approach it logically instead of doing the “I’m gonna go so hard starting tmw” and then quit again.
Eating a lot of food is difficult.
Having food I like at my fingertips would make it easy to eat a lot.
If I put my favourite bulking foods in the fridge today that I can easily heat it up and eat tomorrow, I’m making it extremely easy for my future self to eat more.
Now my approach to bulking is not a matter of trying to use discipline to stuff my face but instead having my favourite foods prepared in the fridge because it makes it easy to put in the microwave and eat a high calorie meal I enjoy.
Now there’s no unnecessary friction of preparing meals or eating foods I don’t like. It’s just me and the task of eating a lot of my favourite food.
This doesn’t just apply to bulking. It applies to building or destroying any habit.
MAKE IT EASY FOR YOUR FUTURE SELF TO DO. Then you won’t have to rely on discipline and it will be natural.
May 20 I was 126.9 lbs (5’6 but still bad), June 10 I hit 134 and today I’m at 134.4. I will be 160 by the new year.
