Mos Jeff's Bulking with Black HOLE Log

Update
Just a few notes before my log officially begins Monday. I have used the past week to accurately keep track of my macros through fitday for the first time, and as I mentioned, I am currently taking in an average of 3800-3900 calories per day, with an occasional day, or two where I ate 4000. The following is how I plan to increase my calories weekly, assuming the black hole does what is intended to do.
Week 1: 4000-4100
Week 2: 4200-4300
Week 3: 4400-4500
Week 4: 4600-4700
Any comments or suggestions on this plan? I don't want to increase the calories TOO much each week, to keep fat gains to a minimum, but if anyone thinks there should be greater increases each week feel free to let me know.
Also, pt or tank, I know you guys recommend starting at one pill, however, I have seriously been considering starting with the full dose of 3 pills, in order to get a full 30 days at the normal dose? do you see this being a problem?
Finally, my starting measurements should be posted tomorrow night.

I understand that -- I meant that if I were to just take one dose on day #1, I will have an odd # of pills left. In addition, from the people who have already starting take BH, all seem to feel little to no effects from just one pill.
Also, any input on my weekly calorie increases?Last edited by Mos Jeff; 07-23-2006, 02:41 PM.

Notes
Pretty good day today. The eating went smoothly and I had a real good workout, until the very end, in which I started to get a splitting headache and had to cut my dropset on the leg press short. I also intended on doing some leg extensions, but had to stop. This was seriously the worst headache I have ever experienced, and I have no idea what could have caused it so suddenly.
Took the initial dose (1 pill) of black hole 30-40 minutes before dinner, but did not feel any effects prior to eating. However, I did notice that I really didn't get full at all, and managed to finish my meal EASILY. Usually I struggle to finish everything on my plate, and end up feeling so full to the point where I feel like throwing up. I am defnitely looking forward to the full dose tomorrow, especially since I will be trying it with breakfast. I am also pretty pleased with the fact that I was able to get 4100 calories with basically no help from the Black Hole. Assuming Black Hole works, I am very optimistic for my increasing calories.Last edited by Mos Jeff; 07-24-2006, 10:27 PM.

Notes
I Took my first full dose of Black Hole today, before my first meal of the day. Unfortunately I felt absolutely no effects at all, which is strange considering just one pill helped me finish my dinner easier last night. Obviously I'm gonna have to experiment with taking it at different times, and figuring out which time works best, so tomorrow I will try the full dose before dinner to see if it's possible that I just respond to it better at night.
My workout did not go too well. As I hop on the bench to do my warm up set, that unbearable headache returned. I'm starting to think that I may have popped a blood vessel or something in my head. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? It doesn't feel like a normal headache -- instead it feels like something is crusihng your head from both sides. So, unfortunately this greatly effected the rest of my workout. After the initial pain in my head, it turned into a normal migraine so I managed to suck it up and work through it, but I do feel like I could have gone a little heavier on some of my lifts. I think I will switch days and make my off day tomorrow instead of Thursday. Sorry this is so long, end rant, til tomorrow...Last edited by Mos Jeff; 07-25-2006, 07:55 PM.

it's really strange bc its not like a typical headache. It seems to occur when I begin to strain, which is what makes me think it could have something to do with a blood vessel. The same exact thing happened to me a while ago, also doing leg presses, but with very heavy weight. This time the weight wasn't as heavy, but it was high volume. This is also why I don't really think it has anything to do with supplementation or stress, although I am somewhat stressed. Either way, like I mentioned in my last post, I'm taking today off and will give it a go tomorrow. If the problem continues then I will be seeing a doctor. Thanks for the input SCT, it's like a ghost town in this log. Update coming tonight...
