Hi, new to the forum. Looking for some critique on my current training programme. Firstly though, a bit of info... I am looking to build muscle and bulk up, I have been training for 6 months now, during this time I have browsed through the forum for tips etc but now I am really getting into it I feel advice would be beneficial. I am currently weighing 13 stone 2 lb, which to you guys is..... 185lbs.
I am looking to make some good progress over winter. My diet is controlled but not strict. I tend to have 6-8 meals, I try to get a minimum of 150g of protein a day and over 3000 calories. I avoid eating fatty foods, my meals will be tuna sandwiches on brown bread, chicken and white rice, chicken and white pasta, pints of milk, fine oats, Powerbar muscle building drinks and finally I will ocassionaly eat fillets of cod with high protein beans. I will have one day at the weekend where I allow myself a takeaway or similar. Supplements.... I had been on creatine mono for 4 months before switching to kre-alkalyn of which I take two tablets before training, I keep well hydrated whilst having this. Post workout I have a 30g whey protein shake with milk accompanied with my largest meal of the day.
At the moment my workout consists of this...
