Hello JSF, I have just completed about 5 months of consistent weight training. In January, I started a bulking cycle which lasted 8 weeks, during which I followed westside for skinny bastards. After that, I decided to cut some extra fat, following Stronglifts 5x5 for a month, and WS4SB again for another month. This brings me to today. I'm 5'7", 17 years old, 150lb, and I want to get big and strong. I'm aiming for a 10lb gain (obviously not all lean mass, but most of it). This is the summer its going to happen.
I'm thinking I'll eat about 3000 calories daily.
Breakfast:
2 eggs
2 tangerines
1 ww toast
1 tbsp. peanut butter
1 bowl of vegetables
1 cup green tea
Lunch:
1 apple
A handful of walnuts
1 WW bun
a large lean beef burger
lettuce and miracle whip
Snack:
1/2 can salmon
1 banana
1 cup vegetables
A handful of walnuts
Protein Shake
1 cup 1% milk
3/4 cup oats
3 scoops protein
1 tsp. coffee
1/2 tsp. hot chocolate
Dinner:
2 chicken breasts
1/2 bowl of kidney beans
2 tbsp. hummus
1/2 cup yogurt
1 cup romaine lettuce
Total: ~2700 calories which I'll increase to 3000 (obviously over a period of time since I'm currently eating only 2100ish because of my cut), 230g protein, 210g carbs, 100g fat
I will be supplementing my diet with whey (already mentioned), creatine (I've never tried this before), a multivitamin, and fish oil.
I'll generally follow Max-OT principles for my workout, which I'm hoping will bring both size and strength gains.
Day 1:
Squats – 4 x 4-6
SLDL – 3 x 4-6
Seated Calf Raises – 3 x 4-6
Overhead Press – 4 x 4-6
DB OH Press – 2 x 4-6
Abs
Day 2:
Bench Press – 4 x 4-6
Incline Bench – 2 x 4-6
Dips – 2 x 4-6
Close Grip Bench Press – 3 x 4-6
Skullcrushers – 2 x 4-6
Abs
Day 3:
Deadlifts – 4 x 4-6
Pull ups – 4 x 4-6
1 Arm DB Snatch – 3 x 4-6
Shrugs – 2 x 4-6
BB Curls – 3 x 4-6
Abs
Also, I might throw in an HIIT session weekly to keep the fat gain on the low.
How does it look?
