Hi,
I’ve lurked hear for about a year now. Every time I start up again I get DOMS and back off for a couple of weeks. Usually when I go for a week my nutrition doesn’t support my work.
I’m ready to start training again with both routine and nutrition planned out.
Background: Lifted for 1 year 3 years ago. Have 2 triathlons under my belt. It has been about 2 years since I’ve worked out.
My stats
Male Ectomorph
Age: 23
Height : 5’10"
Weight: 172lbs (Digital scale from Walgreens. Thought was broken so I put a 25lbs dumb bell on it read 25 lbs, I thought I was 155 before.)
BF:22% (Max muscle 7 point pinch n fold with that triangle thing.)
This might be counter to my strength goals but I enjoy triathlons and will start training for them after strength training becomes habit. (3-4months)
I would like feedback on my nutrition and workout plan. It’s designed to get my body ready for the hypertrophy phase (2-3 weeks from now). Thanks in advance.
doms really only happens if you havent done an exercise for a while (or new exercises) and really isnt a big deal. the only time i really minded doms was when i did calves work (leg presses using my feet instead of legs) then i walked like a jerk haha. otherwise its no big deal and ive had doms pretty much everywhere…
anyway, i think you should reduce the reps. i mean you are going for strength and mass right?
reduce the reps, increase the sets maybe and add weight
btw im not sure what half of those things are in your diet but it looks pretty good. not the best but its fine
