Appreciate the greater detail.
Ok, so you’re a 250lb 5’10 athlete who wants to be even BIGGER. If that’s the case, you posted a daily diet of 1610 calories, of which you’re getting 257g of protein, meaning you have 582 calories remaining for “energy”. Assuming an even split of carbs and fats, that’d be about 73g of carbs and 32g of fat. This is the kind of diet I’d expect to see from a female figure competitor trying to cut down for competition.
I, personally, don’t count or track macros or calories, but for fun I’ve calculated my breakfast a month or so ago and I was taking down 1380 calories in that one meal alone. And I’m an inch shorter than you and about 70lbs lighter.
Going down the macro calculating route, there are LOTS of examples to follow. Here’s a classic
14x250 is 3500 calories. By that math, you’re consuming half of what you need to gain muscle.
Another set of guidelines
This one lays out protein, carbs and fats. 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, then .35g of fat per pound, and 4-5g of carbs per kg of bodyweight. So that’d be 250g of protein (1000 calories), 88g of fat (792 calories) and 455g of carbs (1820 calories), 3612 calories total.
All of THAT said, multiple folks (myself included) have urged the idea of getting bodyfat lower BEFORE using the drugs, as they’ll be more effective if you are leaner, which will change the nutritional approach, but if your goal IS to add size, those are some sample ideas of how much and what to eat.
The purpose of training is to grow bigger muscles and gain strength.
I don’t see much value in the squat workout there. Training that close to your max is a dandy way to peak strength in prep for some sort of competition, but size is built in submaximal ranges.
Going to failure on EVERY set is a surefire way to burn out and halt progress. Now, there is a possibility we mean different things when we say “to failure”. To me, to failure means, you attempt to do a rep and you FAIL in the attempt. Hence “to failure”.
In that regard, you’re telling me all of your squats are to failure. So, in that workout, you went to squat 365 and squatted until you failed. You let the bar crash onto the pins in the power rack, then unloaded the bar, racked the barbell, loaded the bar even heavier and then did another set where you let the bar crash onto the pins, and just kept repeating this process? Or are you training to near failure?
If true, real failure is being accomplished in the set, I don’t see the point to do more than 1, MAYBE 2 sets. In truth, if true failure is being accomplished, I don’t see HOW anyone can do more than 1 set. Here is me doing a set of deadlifts to failure
There was absolutely NO way I could do another set after that: I was smoked.
