Age: 26
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 80kg (176lbs)
BF: 8-10% approx
Training experience: Gymnast from 7yrs old til 17yrs old, track althlete from 17 to 25, and weight training only (and kickboxing) for the last 13months.
I train weights 5 days a week and kickbox twice a week. day 1 chest, day 2 shoulders, day 3 arms, day 4 back, day 5 kickboxing, day 6 legs, day 7 kickbox.
I'm not in love with your split. Shoulders the day after chest? You're probably overworking them, or at the very least short changing them.
My weight reps are 3-4sets being able to do no more than 6-8 reps on compound exercises and 12-14 on isolation exercises.
I personally would alternate reps high/low with compound exercises.
I eat 7-8 times a day which is usually:
4egg whites, 2 whole eggs with 2 slices wholemeal toast and whey with milk.
Oats would be a better choice for carbs.
Oatmeal with milk and whey
Whey what, protein powder? How about some real food here?
chicken with either wholemeal rice or pasta and veg
Decent meal
Protein shake
Unless this is PWO, eat real food here - 6-8oz lean protein and 40-50g complex carb
wholemeal bagle with peanut butter and a banana
Well this is a crap meal! No protein source whatsoever! Drop the entire meal and do another 6-8oz lean protein and 40-50g complex carb
Protein shake
Again, unless this is PWO, eat real food
Tuna or chicken
And? No carbs? no fats? no veggies?
Protein shake before bed.
Make sure it's casein, not whey. You could also do full fat cottage cheese, or a lean beef.
I also snack on almonds and fruit through the day and drink around 3-4lts of water per day.
I know you're looking to add weight, but be careful about snacking indiscriminantly or the bodyfat can easily creep up, especially mixing fats (nuts) and sugar (fruits).
With all that eating and limiting my cardio I'm still stuck at 80kgs.
