My Diet Plan (for upcoming HST cycle)

[Tom Treutlein]

I tried to throw in a bit more variety now. Less milk. Only at night to slow absorption along with some peanut butter and cottage cheese. Lots of carbs in the morning with some whey to get me going. Dry roasted, unsalted nuts in my 2nd fat meal. Meals 1, 3, and 6 are carbs. Meals 2 and 7 are fats. Meals 4 and 5 are pre/post-training, respectively. Meal 8 is protein only, besides some fat from peanut butter which shouldn't be a problem.

I'll be waking up at 7:45-8:00 AM every morning. Meals are spaced pretty evenly, and I tried to distribute protein nicely throughout the day. On non-training days, meals 4 and 5 will still exist, unless I decide to go out to lunch or something. Even though it's only whey, the meals will happen about an hour of one another anyway so I should be fine.

I'll probably be going to sleep late. Maybe 1-2 AM just because that's me. I'll try to get in at midnight and be done, so I get a solid 8 hours. I have the next 5 months off. Nothing. No work, no school. Don't ask. I might pick up a job a bit into the Summer, but for now it's strictly HST with a solid diet plan. I hope it's solid. You guys, let me know.

Sorry if the copy & paste is screwed up a bit. The subtotals for each meal are shown, then the grand total at the end. I'm 17, 14% bodyfat (a very rough estimate), 5'11.5", 177 lbs (give or take, water weight and a dial scale ), with 2 years of training experience on and off (I guess 6 months of solid training, 3 months of solid diet) so I hope this will work for me. Well, I know it will. I just hope it works well!

Okay I'm guessing no criticism is good criticism...or...something. Can someone just give me a yes or no to a simple - "is this good?" ?

[JKurz1]

what do you want in a reply and why the hell are some items doubled? Very confusing....

Wagon wheels?? How cute......nothing like processed pasta..........

 

[Tom Treutlein]

I doubled the items if I'm having 2 servings of them.

Wagon wheels are processed? What's so bad about them, and what pastas aren't and would be a better choice?

What I wanted in a reply was criticism for my diet, to know if it was a solid plan or not. I said that in my first post.

 

[juve]

can you exclude commercial names - like ANPB instead of Smucker's ANPB, because I didn't read ANPB part I took me a while to figure wtf you ralking about. Also wtf is wagon wheels??? and most importantly WTF is HST (don't hate please)??????

 

[bran987]

wagon wheels are like the little macaroni and cheese pastas that are shaped differently so kids will think they are having play-time during dinner.

they can also be shaped like dinosaurs!

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Haha, and HST is a training routine I was going to follow. It's between that and DC training. www.hypertrophy-specific.com is the link.

So, some criticism please?

Wagon wheels kick ass.

 

[bran987]

that is way too much to read... what kind of a routine is it in general?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Check the training methods sticky on the training boards, it's there. Basically, 3x a week training, fullbody, 1-2 sets per bodypart. The idea is training with high frequency, low-volume, not to failure so you can train more often and make gains. It's specefically made for size gains, and there's a ton of science behind it. Plus a great deal of results which suggest it's one of the best methods for gaining size. I may do DC though simply because I feel more satisfied after a session of his training than HST.
