Another week of our Keto Bulking Workout to see if we can gain muscle mass during a bulking phase and a ketogenic diet. Then, we will do a cutting phase (macrocycle) with a keto diet too. Let’s start with the 8th Week of the Keto Bulking Workout Routine!

7th Week Review

A couple of weeks more and we have will stop to enjoy the holidays. Personally, I will be travelling to New York, a trip that I am very excited about. What are your plans for Christmas? Are you travelling too?

Back to work, last week I was very comfortable in the CrossFit box. I was full of energy, although I feel I reached a point of stagnation. As I have mentioned several times, I do not think CrossFit is the best way to gain muscle, but that is how things are for now.

Regardless, I try to do 2 days of pure hypertrophy to compensate for the two days of aerobic exercise. Above all, I do very intense routines with good weights and without using cable or machines.

…in this life, you have to adapt to the circumstances and just do your best…

During the week of rest, we will review the anthropometric measures to see how we are doing. However, I believe that doing CrossFit may have reduced some of my measures, we will see.

Weight change

Evidently, I keep playing 3-4 matches of paddle a week, that is my cardio.

Tomorrow, I will go to a private cardiologist to talk about my heart hypertrophy.

This week, I weigh 82.3g (I have gained 700g). Therefore, we keep on progressing in terms of weight. This gain is due to a change in the diet, I was hungry during the CrossFit sessions even though I was eating 3400kcal.

For now, I will change the amount of calories and start an extra hypercaloric diet (130% / 3800-3900 kcals, strict) without intermittent fasting. All in all, this will help me recover perfectly from the workouts, which are quite demanding for me. It has been a while since I did a metabolic workout routine, since I participated in the Spartans.

Glucose

This week has been quite unstable…

I have not used insulin for days, I ate bread and I fell into hypoglycemia due to dehydration. Other days, the glucose was out of control due to the high intake of peanuts and daily calories.

This week, I have an appointment with the endocrinologist and I hope he will finally prescribe me the Abbot Freestyle.

This device helps you monitor the glucose without having to pinch your fingers with each dose.
