wow, good lifting, your numbers went up fast. I’m kinda at the point where you were when you started out. 18 years old, squat at 135 bench at 135 etc. haha.
What’s your diet like ? I feel like I would need to eat like a bear to get stronger, because I’m burning a lot calories with basketball.
Unfortunately 5/3/1 would kill me in-season, I might start next year doing it in the off season though.
Keep up the good work ![/quote]
Appreciate the support man. Just keep at it and you’ll definitely get stronger and it’ll help you in basketball as well.
Currently my diet isn’t anything specific, nor am I counting my calories / macroes anymore, because I have a school meal plan, and it is impossible for me to know all the calories and macronutrients in the foods I eat. However my diet is something like this usually:
8-9am Meal 1: Lots of whole eggs, some form of carbohydrate (potatoes, oatmeal, cereal, granola, toast etc.) Maybe some fruit juice or milk, depending on mood.
11am Meal 2: yogurt and nuts/seeds, or protein shake, or protein pancakes, anything I feel like making (usually around 500 calories)
1:30pm Meal 3: Cafeteria food, usually consists of white rice and lots of chicken and vegetables
Next meal depends on when I decide to lift, I’ll have some form of carbohydrate about 30 mins prior to going to the gym
After workout I drink a shake consisting of 2 scoops of whey, 1 cup of milk, and a handful of frozen blueberries.
8-9pm Meal 5: Either cafeteria food, or home made dinner, depends on how I feel. Consists of lots of meat, moderate carbs, vegetables
Before bed: I’ll eat peanut butter out of the jar, drink whole milk, eat cottage cheese… Anything really that’ll fill me up before bed but doesn’t contain too many carbohydrates.
That is just a very rough outline of my diet. The food changes all the time, depending on what is being served and such.
