Hey guys, This is my first post on the board even though I have been on here quite a bit the last few months. I have really decided to get myself back into shape. I am 27 years old 5'11" and currently weigh 268lbs and 24%BF. I have been lifting for many years (10 or so)and have what I considered a extremely good muscle base. I was a personal trainer for over a year and know a great deal about lifting and nutrition but I have to admit that this last year I have just not got into the gym and have eaten way to bad. I about a year and a half ago I was 225 and about 11% BF and felt I looked great (always could be leaner) but now I know it is going to take some work just to get back to there and then go further. Over the next 6 months I would like to get down to 215-225lbs. and under 7%bf. I can lean out really fast as I have done in the past but have always had a problem with my eating. When I was on I was on and would shred fast but when I was off it was horrible. I have really good genetics and if I eat right I can't help but get lean and add muscle. Since eating is my biggest key right now I have decided to try and eat 6 meals a day which break down as followed:
6:30am. Myoplex (original)
10:00am. Muscle Milk
12:00pm. Natural peanut butter sandwhich on 100%wheat or tuna/glass of milk (skim)
2:00pm. Muscle Milk (preworkout)
4:30pm. Myoplex (deluxe)
6:30pm. Muscle Milk
Supplements include: CLA, Flax seed oil, Omega3, multivitamin, calcium citrate, l-caritene, and hydroxycut hardcore (just 2 tablets about 1 hour before workout),
I am trying to be around 2200-2800 cals or so(I change it up) and If I am really hungry I eat celery or an apple but so far I have kept relatively satisfied and feel great (2days so far). My workouts have been great! I know that I can't keep on this routine all week so I allow myself to go out with my wife and have One bad meal a week. I plan on doing this for about 5 weeks and then phazing into more real foods. This is not permanent but I hope it will jump start me and help me get more motivated. So what do you guys think? How much can I expect to lose? Anyone tried anything similar? Any suggestions or changes that you would make? I appreciate any comments and advice. This is a great forum and I will keep you posted. I will also see if I can get some pics on here and keep a running log of my progress. Thanks!
