Powerlifting diet (ATTN: newbies and powerlifterjay)

earthworm jim!!!

Raw eggs could lead to Salmonela (sp?) poisoning. Not good! Cook your eggs and the body will assimilate them much easier.

hmm i thought it was ok to consume raw egg whites that are pasturized...

Raw eggs really arent bad for you. The salmonella (sp?) is only in the yolk so if you are just drinking the whites you will be fine. And yes, the morning meal eggs you can drink. When I was trying to break into this diet I would drink the post workout meal for breakfast instead of the food meal just to get my body used to digesting that many nutrients. I have an insane metabolism so I have to eat a lot of food. It really isnt that much though. It is around 6000 calories and about 350 gm of protein which really isnt a lot. It is just a lot of food because it is all clean. Very little fat and sodium so you have to have a large quantity to get your nutrients. Anyway, for my stats. They really arent that impressive but since you asked here they are.

Bench Press 475x2
Squat 585x1
Deadlift 585x1
Military Press (Standing) 255x3
Height 6'3"
Weight 250 lbs.

I just started back to school and I take 20 hours of class and work 30 hours a week so I dont have much of a chance to get into the gym and really hammer the weights. But I make do with the progress I have been making. Anyway, feel free to post any questions or replys you guys might have. Like I said, I have only been into the powerlifting game for about 2 years but I was a power-bodybuilder (isnt that an oxy-moron?) for about 6 years so if anyone has any drug questions feel free to ask. I may not use them anymore, but I stay up to date on stuff. I train a few people and make their drug schedules so I feel pretty confident in giving advice on gear.

 

[t3c]

you are one big bitch hehe

i'm gonna try your diet for 2 weeks maybe, i'll post some results

 

[Deciever]

wow. Your big! I could eat that MAYBE over a 2 day span.

I have been using this diet for about 3 years. I first started using it when I was bodybuilding and due to some legal factors I had to go "clean" and I switched to powerlifting to get back my size and strength. For size and strength increases, this diet has worked better for me as a powerlifter than it ever did as a drug using bodybuilder. It is very plain and very boring but if you have the $ for the food and you need quality mass fast, I would put this up there with the best of them. And by the way, PowerLifterJay, I dont know if you remember me but my screenname used to be PwrLftnBear and I am still in the gym getting strong as hell thanks to you and GForce. Thanks again for your encouraging words when I first came to powerlifting a couple of years ago.

Meal 1:
18 egg whites
3 egg yolks
300 calories of oats

Meal 2:
1 pound of red meat
300 calories from potatoes

Meal 3:
1 pound of chicken
300 calories from pasta

Meal 4:
3 cans of tuna
300 calories from potatoes

Meal 5 (post-workout):
18 oz. of applejuice
1 cup of oats
12 egg whites
1 bananna
*toss it all in a blender for about 30 seconds
(and surprisingly this drink tastes very good but dont drink it if you are planing to tag your girl within the hour because it will give you a bad case of ass)


Meal 6:
1 pound of red meat
300 calories from potatoes

This is an insanely boring diet and will kick the shit out of your wallet if you don't watch for sales at the grocery store (Sam's produce dept. was God's gift to powerlifters). But if you can stomach it I assure you that you will get very big and very strong quickly. It doesnt leave a lot of room for deserts or beer but I am sure you will find that an occasional treat wont hurt at all and besides, if you do this whole diet I would be surprised if you have any extra room in your stomach for many sweets for the first few weeks. It also doesnt mention supplements. Use them as you choose. I left them out because I have found that most people look for the miracle supplement that will make them huge overnight and they fail because they forget the most important thing, A LOT OF FOOD!

What's your total nutrient breakdown for the day? Hell you eat a ton of protein.

 

[bmarhefka]

Sorry I havent gotten back to your question sooner. It was finals week and I have been busy as hell. Anyway, as for my nutrient breakdown. To be honest, I cant give it all to you. My calories fall between 5500 and 6000 depending on what cut of red meat I have and my protein is about 350 grams. The carbs I am not sure of. I use the diet pretty religiously as far as the meat and eggs go but the carbs I have to play day to day. If it is a light cycle day I eat all the carbs on the diet so I get a lot of blood pumped into my muscles for them to heal from my heavy cycle. But if I am training heavy I back down on the carbs. I know that is opposite of what you usually hear, but I have found that ALL types of carbs make me tired and if I am going for a new PR on the Military Press the last thing I want to be is drowsy. I also dont count fat grams. My body stores fat about as efficiently as a lizard's body does so fat is not a concern of mine. I consume what is naturally in the meat and I dont add any EFAs or anything like that. I had the worst build for powerlifting. I am tall, was ectomorphic when I started lifting, and I had the girth of a flagpole so I have had to change a lot of diet and training ideas around to fit my body. Hope that answered your question.
