Alright, so, I've recent decided to go ahead and try to put on a little belly fat. I'd like to put on 10-15lbs (a time frame really isn't important to me, so it will come as it comes).
However, I'd like to do so without loosing any of my muscle mass or over all fitness (notice, I didn't say health--I have every intention of maintaining my level of health, however, if there are some small set back due to the fat gain, I can deal with that).
My plan is to, basically, maintain my level of activity and exercise. Currently, I do approximately 1000 abdominal reps a night (through 4 different exercises, and 3 sets of each--so, it's not really that hard to believe--for all of you skeptics), 150 push ups (broken into 3 sets of 50), and I do various other medium to high-weight (bench max is 275) lifting exercises 4 times a week at the gym, generally in high rep sets (15, 12, 10, 8, 6). Up to now, I run 1.5 miles three mornings a week.
So, in order to gain AND maintain this regime, I really don't plan on changing anything at all, except my caloric intake (obviously, it will be higher) and from where I'm getting those additional calories.
I'm 5'11", 170lbs, and 7% body fat (plus or minus 1%, I guess since I don't have highly accurate means of measuring this). And, I'd like to add 10-15lbs of fat. So, I'm going to increase my intake by about 400-600 calories a day (so, close to 3500-4000 calories a day), and I'm planning on getting them from, well, more or less junk food.
I was hoping to get some opinions on this plan. Whether or not it seems feasible, etc.
Thanks a ton for reading!
