LOL! You gave me a good laugh.

Sell your bowflex, use the money to join a gym. Then eat more.

Don’t sell your bowflex. Be a humane person and do your little part to keep others from “bowflexing”. Instead buy a boat and use the bowflex as an anchor. Then sell your boat and use the money to build your own home gym. Then eat more.

[quote]- Eat between 60 and 100 grams of carbs per day

  • Eat no more than 3 eggs a day
  • Substitute beef and pork with chicken and fish
  • Avoid sugar - it contains empty calories; eat fruits and vegetables for carbs instead

WTF?

-you practically can’t bulk if you only eat 60-100 g carbs a day
-you can easily eat more than 3 eggs a day
-beef and pork isn’t going to kill you
-if you’re BULKING, WHY WOULD YOU AVOID EMPTY CALORIES?

Also, your lifting routine is crap. Bowflex is worthless, there are way too many useless exercises and not enough REAL exercises like squat, deadlift, bench and row, and finally, your split is stupid. How about you split your body like this:

Monday: total body
Wednesday: total body
Friday: total body

Or upper, lower, upper, lower?

You’re obviously a beginner, so why on earth would you copy some professional bodybuilder’s routine? You need to concentrate on building a strong foundation now and not worry about details.

Good luck.

Do people read ANYTHING on this site before posting?

Bowflex sucks, your diet sucks, and 6 sets of 6-10 reps with 30 sec rest is way too light for “bulking”.

Read the archives, damn it!!!
