Current stats:

Sex : Male
Age : 23
Height : 6' 1"
Weight : 92kgs - 203 lbs
Body Fat : ~15% (???)
Chest : 44 ins
Waist : 32 ins

My 3 day training routine :-

M - Chest & triceps
T - REST
W - Back & biceps
T - REST
F - Shoulders & Legs
S - REST
S - REST

A 4 or 5 day Split may be better, Legs should stand alone in a bulking program, they are the foundation!

Here is a typical example of my daily intake :-

Meal 1 (7:30)

Protein drink (2 scoops protein power - 15/18oz skimmed milk - 1 tbs flax oil)
Bowl of cereal (skimmed milk)
Creatine (san nutrition V12)
1 Tribulus Terestris tablet
1 Multivitamin tablet

Too much sugar, milk at 12 grams per cup...cereal is not the best, consider slow cooking oatmeal

Meal 2 (10:00)

1 Banana
1 Apple

NOT A MEAL...no Protein and fat...how can this help repair and synthesize muscle tissue?

Meal 3 (12:30)

2 Large Chicken sandwiches (wholemeal or granary baps - no butter)
Protein Drink (2 scopps protein powder - 15/18oz skimmed milk)

More sugars (bread/milk)and you avoid fat, consider brown rice or sweet potato

Meal 4 (3:00)

1 Banana
1 Apple

NOT A MEAL...no Protein and fat...how can this help repair and synthesize muscle tissue?


Meal 5 (5:00)

Chicken salad - with lemon and cracked black pepper dressing

Add veggies and slow burning carb source

TRAINING

Meal 6 (7:00)

Chicken and rice - or - Chicken Baked Potatoe etc

I am trying to reach 210 lbs - but am struggeling to add those few extra lbs of lean muscle (not fat) - thus i need your help/advice ? Any advice would be very much appreciated ?

Apologies if I have missed anything ! Cheers !

Read this please:

Bulking w/ Slow Burners

DP ! - Thanks for the reply - your comments are much appreciated !

Firstly - My routine !

my norm is to train 4 days a week with a leg day, however, due to recent work and home commitments, i have had to cut back to the 3 day a week routine. Hopefully i will be able to get back into my norm 4 day routine next month.

I still train will a great deal of intensity though !

Secondly - My diet !

The problem i have is that while at work i dont have the time to prepare/eat those mid morning/afternoon meals due to work load - thus i eat banana's and apples etc because of there convenience and so i can eat them on the go !

However - after reading that thread - i have realised where i have been going wrong ! I should have my protein drinks mid morning/afternoon (with a banana) and increase the qty of whole foods in my other meals - why didnt i see this before - dooouuuugh !!!!!!

Many Thanks !

Also - Oatmeal - is there anything you can recommend to have with it - or something else in its place - as it is something which i am not very keen on to say the least

Any other recommendations ?

You could try Cream of rice or of wheat, although we are NOT fond of it/them..more sugars...and some people have wheat allergies and don't know it.....

You would find that cinnamon, peanut butter and or a low carb pancke syrup change oatmeal's taste so the you almost got from hatin' it, to cravin' it!

Good Luck!

Oh...and good observation on the mid morning and mid afternoon shakes

I Cant believe i didnt see that before what an idiot !!!

'i once was blind but now i see'

Cheers DP

Any other suggestions as to what i could mix with it ?
