Brian's Summer Weight Gain Log

Gonna try to gain as much weight as I can before football starts in mid august. I went from being 184 at the beginning of my lacrosse season to 180 at the end of it. Prom was on the 18th a couple days after my lax season ended and i pulled an all nighter and that made my weight drop down to about 175 when i weighed myself yesterday. Weight gain has always been a struggle for me. I can eat anything and stay under 10% bf (not a bad thing). Well my first workout since lax is tonight and im hittin legs. Cant wait and ill keep everyone posted.
