lucky them, i lose weight at 6 meals per day when i’m training alot[/quote]
yeah of course this is proven to be optimum but I’ve known people who have made gains just doing the 3 meals a day-I only do 4-5-. The whole 6 meals is more for weight loss anyways -helps metabolism a ton- but for the Op who just wants to concentrate on hypertrophy as long as he is getting enough protein and lifting hard should be fine.
You want something more insane than 20-rep squats? Here’s the 40-rep squat routine. I remember Kroc and Marunde do this thing. Marunde even supersetted them with tire flips (and then he died).
500x8, 405x8, 315x8, 225x8 and 135x8 all done as one continuous drop set.
Here’s Kroc doing it: 40 rep Squats - YouTube

That’s impossible for me because I have VERY LITTLE spare time as it is. Maybe your schedule was different. We practice from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, and school turns out at 3:00. That’s my WHOLE DAY spend at school. When I get home I eat a big meal then. But in the morning before school I drink a protein shake. VERY POOR diet right now but that’s the sacrifice I have to make. I doubt since you ate 5 meals that your time restraints weren’t as tight as mine. Trust me, if there were any other way, I would’ve found it by now. So how did you manage?[/quote]
First you didn’t mention breakfast which is the easiest meal to get in. Wake up twenty minutes earlier than you have and eat something or mix up a big shake.
Bring food with you to school, protein bars, tuna sandwiches, be creative. Eat some between meals and bring your own lunch.
Between school ending and practice beginning eat something again.
You mentioned dinner at around 7, but then nothing after that. If you go to bed at 11 try to eat something around 10-1030.
It takes some planning but it’s very possible to eat more than twice a day with your schedule.
Being short of time isn’t really an excuse in my book. If you’re really that hard pressed, boil 8 eggs in a pot and carry them around with you for 2-3 meals. They only take like 7 minutes to boil. Throw in a few pieces of fruit and all your macros are right there.
lol Now you guys are talkin. Maybe I’ll start packing sandwiches in my locker and eat them during PE, but that’s right after luch though but from your good advice I’ll figure something out. Plus with all the running we do in football, I’ll put a hold on my leg routine because like I said before, I lift light in weightlifting class because I’m still tired from previous practice. But you’ve given some great ideas. Thanks. Any more are appreciated.
