Week 4 continuing procedure
Alec B -
Welcome back to my project. We’re now officially four weeks deep, and honestly, what once felt like a challenge is starting to feel routine. Hitting 3800 calories a day used to require some serious planning and stomach stretching, but now I find myself eating almost non-stop without even thinking about it. Whether it’s big greasy meals or handfuls of sugary snacks, I’m basically in a constant state of chewing.
One interesting development this week: my usual gym weights are starting to feel a bit lighter. It’s not a huge leap in strength yet, but I’m definitely noticing a difference—especially during leg workouts. Squats and leg press movements that used to be a grind are starting to feel smoother, like my body’s finally adapting to the calorie surplus in a useful way.
Next week will be the real test. At the end of Week 5, I’ll be maxing out again on my core lifts to see if this diet of chips, soda, and candy is actually translating into measurable strength gains. I’m both curious and slightly optimistic of what the results will be.
In the name of science and maybe a bit of self-preservation, I’ve also scheduled a blood work appointment. I’ll be checking key health markers to see what effect this junk-fueled diet is having on the inside. Results should be back by next week’s post.
A quick snack hack for this week was that I found this massive bag of cheese balls at the store for only $1.25 and it had a little over 1000 calories Naturally, I bought five. The goal is to eat one bag a day as a casual snack to help me coast through the calorie count.
That’s all for this week. See you next time for the blood work results and, hopefully, some solid max-out numbers where I will compare the differences and see what could have been the root of those changes. Let’s see if junk food really can fuel gains, or if I’ve just been turning into a human garbage disposal for nothing.
