Flex's 1st BB comp.......

There's only 363 days left to uncrown Ronnie! Ha, ok, maybe not the big Mr. O......yet.

I plan on doing my first BB show next summer ('04). i want to be huge when i get there. I'm 6'1", 215lb, a tad under 10%bf.

I want to get up to 230, then be able to shred to 200. just started a few nice "supps" yesterday, so we'll see how huge i can get. I'm only gonna write my diet, and weight, its too much of a hassle to right down # of reps, sets, exer. etc.....I'm gonna try to get a hold of a dig. camera to post pics........

Any suggestions would be great as far as diet or advice or anything (i drink at least 1 gal of water/day, with meals and between, so i won't include that)............am i eating enough/correctly......anything!!!

Mon, Oct 27 weight 215 WO-back/chest/forearms

11am 2 med egg white, 1 med egg, 1 cup oats, 1 cup skim

the carbs, the carbs, carbs! where are the carbs man. you sre not eating enough, not even close. your meal frequency if a good rate but you need to judt about doubel those kcals, if not more! I bte i fyou total taht up you aren't even at 3k for tha day. with what you are running you should be working your weay over 6kcals IMO. You aren' tgonna gain with the "supps" unless you eat. Shit you should be out eating Big Macs and ice cream. OK not really but EAT. you can get away with being a litl emore lax so you can get in cals while on. that is the best part about it. the only source of carbs you are getting in the first half of the dsay is a cup of oats. Start working those cals up slowly. they need to be higher. and J'bo is right, more meat! instead of 4 oz of beef, eat double that, double up on the chicken breasts to. EFA's

count up your totals for each day bud, you will see that you need to bump them WAAAYYY up. remember you need to take advantage of thet fact that your body is always in an anabolic state! that's what is so great about it man. eat eat eat!

I don't mean to seem like I am harping on you bro but I think you need to be eating more, specifically post workout. All I see is a shake and some gatorade. For the first two hrs after your WO you should be eating as much as possible. YOu need to be eating something high on the glycemic index as well. If you wanna gain the weight that you say you do then it ain't gonna come from no where. It takes about 3k (roundabout number, I forget the specific number) cals just for a pound of muscle or something like that. you need to be stuffing yourself after training. The food is the most important part of that weight you wanna gain, trust me on that.

yeah bro without sounding too harsh

your diet looks like something i would put an old lady on who wants to lean up.

EAT BRO, EAT

FOR EXAMPLE IM 185 AND I EAT 15 EGG WHITES AND 3 YOLKS FOR BREAKFAST.
