Looks decent. What's your stats? That is an awful lot of powder to be drinking each day.

Am looking to put together a decent ON-CYCLE Bulking diet for my Test/Deca /Dbol cycle which kicks off in 3 weeks.....
At approx 70 cent per scoop i'm not too worried about washing down each meal with a shake..i think its a relatively cheap source of protein.

Wow that is a buttload of whey.


Even if it's whey sourced at a pretty low quality level, it's gonna be 23g per 1/3 cup scoop. (high quality isolate would be more like 28). Splitting the difference, and only counting complete protein sources, you're at like 358 grams of protein daily.

Unless your lbm is already 230 or better, I don't think you need that much protein to grow, even if you're running a cycle and hitting the iron really hard. Just my opinion of course, and they're like assholes.

1.5x your lbm in high quality complete protein grams

you should only have whey protein either coming off a long fast or immediately post workout. any other time it digests too rapidly and your body will not use it well and will shit a lot of it out. this means that a lot less protein gets to your muscles which means smaller gains. dump the whey protein at any other meal other than pw or first thing in the morning and replace it with chicken breast

In my opinion I think thats too much protein from powder. I do Muscle Replenisher for post workout, and only if I'm short on time to make a complete meal will I make a quick protein shake. I keep some RTD shakes at work if I need them, but you have 1 scoop with each meal, that can get hard on your body man.

Thanks Guys, i guess i'll drop a couple of the shakes in favour of more eggs and chicken !

Although ,i think i'm already addicted to gold standard choc mint whey ........ : )

you need solids in your diet for reasons other than muscle building. that being said you could add mixed berries, a small amount of veggie, eggs, milk, nuts or oils, and oats to all of these shakes and be perfectly fine from a muscle building stand point.

2 cups of milk and 2 egg whites is 22g of some of the best protein their is. then the oats, fruits/ veggies, and fats complete the meal. the idea would be smaller portions and more frequent meals

if ya like the shakes that much they wotn hurt

reall food is always better

hwoever i persoanly someitmes opt for shakes since its sometimes cheaper to have a shake, plus when bulking reall food is difficult to get in so opting for a shake makes getting those calories in easier

yeah bro its easier to adjust your macros in favour of protein with a shake without bumping carbs or fat...
