Alright so to start off Hi. I've been a member for quiet some time but never really post. I just lurk the forums and try to find answers to most of my questions through other threads that have already been answered.
I've been lifting for about 6 years now, but the last 3 have been very intense training. The reason i'm posting this thread is to get advice about my diet for my specific goals i'm trying to reach. I'll be posting up a SAMPLE diet followed by my working routine.
8 am BREAKFAST
4 eggs ( 2 whites, 2 whole)
1/2 cup oatmeal (quick oats)
1 banana
1 tble spoon of peanut butter
1030 am SNACK
assorted fruit (grapes, banana, apple, or orange)
(I'll have 2 of the above fruits in a small portion)
1 hand full of assorted nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts, and pisachios)
1230 pm LUNCH
6oz chicken breast
2 pieces of whole wheat bread
1 hand full of assorted nuts
4 pm SNACK
Piece of fruit
OR
1/2 cup oats (quick oats)
1 can of tuna
7 pm WORKOUT
9 pm Post workout shake
ON whey protein 2 scoops
1/2 cup oats
Thats about it for a sample at least. Minor tweeks here and there to adjust every day so it doesnt get boring.
My goal right now is to put on a little lean mass, but mainly cut. In the past i've put on big time gains in the gym with bulk diet and the help of some minor prohormones so i'm new to the cutting diet scene. I'm not too worried about my strength going too far down but mostly about my overall appearance. I don't want to sound corny but i'm trying to achieve the look of the spartan in the 300 movie
I've got the muscle from the gains before, Its just time for me to slowly cut off the fat.
My workouts consist of different intensity of workouts from week to week
I'll do high rep 90 second rest for about 2 weeks straight
then i'll switch it up and do 1 week of low weight 3 1/2 - 4 min rest.. just to kind of shock my muscles.
Monday - chest abs
Tuesday - shoulders tri
wednesday - back bi's abs
thursday - off
friday - legs abs
saturday - cardio abs
sunday - off
So far so good.. but i'd like to have an kind of input.. your opinions are greatly appreciated.
as for macro's and all that crap i'm not too sure of it. But if its needed to help out i'll figure it out.
I work in an office and sit infront of a computer all day (9 - 6) so take into account that i'm not very active throughout the day.
Any suggestions like: wakeing up and working out before work? workout before and after work? certain tweeks in my diet to help me achieve my goal? different workout routine?
Let me know thanks!
