Stats today:
Height: 5'10
Weight: 160 lb
BF: 12%
I plan on doing my first (bulk) cycle around November. I aim to gain about 15 -20 pounds of solid muscle while keeping BF% as low as possible. I dont think this is the right forum to discuss what compounds would be suitable for these goals and I hope to focus just on the nutrition aspect here.
Most of the stuff I have read (and probably misunderstood) so far seems to suggest that in order to get up to 180 lbs I should strive for a clean 3000 - 4500 calories ED with most of them coming from protein (450 - 550 gms a day) and from carbs ( 500 -600 grams). I think I would like to keep my fats to just about enough to help maintain healthy joints and support cholesterol and heart functions. Fish Oils, Flax seed, Olive oil would be my main sources of 'clean' fats.
Now, keeping in mind that I am hoping for the mythical lean bulk, about would be training for hypertrophy using the principles of 5*5 routines, how will you answer the following questions:
Question 1
In combination with 50 mg Dbol ED and 500 mg TestE weekly, 550 gms of protein ED would be enough to:
A) Ensure proper recoveries.
B)Not only ensure proper recoveries but also replenish glycogen stores. If you want lean lower the carbs.
C) This question is wrong you dont know what the fudge you are talking about!!
D) ???
Question 2
How do nutrition shakes (in combination with multi vitamins, multi minerals and extra Aminos/BCAAs) stack up again real fork and knife meals:
A) They are supplements so use them to supplement your daily meals not in place of your meals.
B) Heck drink 10 of them shakes a day if you trust the product and can afford it. But make sure you get at least a solid breakfast, post work out meal and a real dinner.
C) Its just placebo effect those bottles are full of sugar water dont waste your money and go buy some steak you pansy!!
D)
Question 3
For my post workout shake, what if I mix 10gms of BCAAs, 10 gms of Glutamine, 10 gms of creatine and two scoops of Isopure zero carb to a bottle of GNC Mass XXX (nutritional facts in Image 17)?
A) Good idea. You will get 900 'clean' calories, 100 gram protein, 125 carbs and only 2 gm fats. Solid, you are a genius Boogey!
B) Well, that's a lot of nutrition to throw into the body at one time... even while on juice. You are taking like 5 shakes a day so spread out the powders. Make sure you get a nice meal within an hour after workout and restrict your Post-workout shake to ...(these numbers)...
C) Adding the creatine, glutaine etc is a good idea since body will be prime for uptake but change the drink to GatoradePro3 (image 18) because the carbs would be more reasonable.
D)???
Besides the shakes, my diet would consist mainly of white rice, chicken and steak along with oats, eggs and maybe some fat free milk.
This is my first post in the diet forum and while I have spent considerable time researching I understand this is an immensely complex subject and I am sure I missed a ton of stuff and I look forward to your advise.
Thanks.
