Guys and Gals…
I have been a avid reader of T-Nation for quite some time and have decided to join up on the forums for some options in my training and nutrition.
Background:
I am 32 years of age and stand at 6’ 7". I played football and basketball in High School and went on to play some College Basketball. I have 10-11 years gym experience, but never took the nutritional side seriously. I stopped working out when our first child was born back in 1999. I was still active, but not in the weight room.
I returned to the weight room in Dec. 2006 weighting in at 236 with a 36" waist and unknown BF%. Since then I have pretty much done it on my own…I bought the ABS Diet Book and patterned my diet after its advice. I do not have a before picture, but here are 2 taken about 1 month ago.
My 1RM on Bench went from 225 to 315 and now its at around 285-295 (Shoulder tendinitis slowed my down a bit) better now. Squat is 315(After my normal workout). I currently weigh 215 with 19% BF(so the scale says)…would like to see 225-230 with around 10-12% BF.
Nutrition: (Yesterday)
0630 - Protein(43g) shake with milk, 3eggs
0715 - 1 orange
1000 - cup of celery, 1 orange
1200 - chicken breast w/steamed vegs (peas, peppers, potatoes)
1415 - 1 orange
1600 - Pre-Workout Protein(30g) Shake with Milk
1730 - Post-Workout Protein(43g) Shake with Water
1900 - Turkey Burger(No Bun) w/ spinach salad w/cheese, 1whole tomato, celery
2130 - Protein(43g) shake with Milk, celery and natural peanut butter
Any nutrition advise would be appreciated. I want to take full advantage of the Advanced German Volume Training to get the 8-10 pounds of lean mass, but I know that nutrition is key and I will be the first to say I am not an expert on nutrition.
Thanks in advance…
