Well I've been doing a 3 day beginner workout for about 7 weeks now and feel comfortable in the gym and all the exercises in the program. I'm noticing reasonable progression with weights and starting to feel less and less sore. I've put on about 3 kilos, perhaps a little bit more but a lot of the weight has gone straight to my stomach. My arms and legs are mildly bigger but not really noticeable.
I'm looking to move onto a 4 day split to try and really get my goal on track, because despite putting on weight I feel like it's only because of my extra calorie intake and protein shakes.
Is this fairly standard for the beginnings of bulking up? I'm not impatient, I just want to make sure I'm sort of on the right track.
calorie surplus = weight gain
not sure how working out for an extra day is going to help, more details?
keep eating heaps and lifting heavy.
