Calling all vets, experts, and experienced people. I'm frustrated and need input!
Please guys give your input (meaning just don't browse and move on, I would really like your help!) 50 views and only 2 comments isnt going to help me.
Assumptions
1) Stats: 27 6’3” 245, 22.5% BF
2) not on juice and haven’t started juice, yet.
3) I know this has parts where it would be more appropriate in “workout” and “diet” sections, but I didn’t want to split it all up, and more people visit this section that those others combined
4) I appreciate all constructive criticism, as I am trying to learn and change things, so please don’t have or be an ass, as I admit I don’t know everything
Sup guys,
I need your help and advice, as I am currently very frustrated and need to throw out what I “think” I know and need to obviously change things up and learn new information, because I just had my BF % measured and it went up from 18% to 22.5%, when I thought it would have gone down a little and have been trying to get it down to the 15% -17% mark in order to do my first cycle. I have wanted to do my first cycle for a while now and have been researching stuff off this site. As far as supplements, I am currently using Lipostack (and that’s good stuff!)
I have been working out consistently this past year and have before that I have lifted 3-4 off and on during grad school. Currently this is my routine suggested by a fellow member on here (before this I used a couple different training methods like upper and lower splits, 5-day body part splits, ect.). I do cardio 20-40 minutes after any weight session.
Monday:
Bench , Row, Dip, Chin
Tuesday:
Squat, Deadlift, Power Shrug
Thursday:
Bench, Row, Push Press, BB Curl
Friday:
Squat , Good Morning, Calf Raises
As far as diet, there is some variance, but this was what I was currently doing before (as it obviously needs to change)
Breakfast: Bowl of cereal (Kashi crunch, which has protein and fiber, the best ratio I’ve seen as far as that is concerned), whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter or the good cholesterol butter stuff
Mid-morning: either a protein shake or protein bar
Lunch: 6 in subway sandwhich on whole wheat bread
Afternoon snack: protein bar or shake
Dinner: Protein (chicken or tuna) and veggies, and some good carbs
After-workout (if appropriate) workout shake with 2 scoops of protein
Yeah, I have a cheat meal a few times a week, whether it be fast food or a dessert, but I try to keep that to a minimum. I try to drink as much water as I can to flush things out.
What gives, what needs to change from this information provided. I am completely frustrated like I said, seems like I’ve just wasted this whole past year of dedication and training. Should I be concentrating more time on cardio and less on weights? I’d really appreciate your constructive help!!!
If you need more information, just ask.
