Great guy
Tells me he’s seen my likes before and I am a nutritionists worst nightmare. Well he didn’t give me quite the detailed plan in terms of food, but gives me General guidelines and workout notes, and I will visit him for tune ups every 6 weeks
For Nutrition:
Eat all the protein you could get your hands on all day long.
For Breakfast:
8 egg omlette + 1 whole wheat toast+ fresh orange Juice+ 2 Black Coffees
Supps: 2 Fish oil+ 2 Multi vits+ Iodine+ 3 HydroxyCut Hardcore
Snack 1:
2 Scoops whey+ 16Oz skimmed Milk
Lunch:
ALl the protein I could get (even if it has or is cooked with fat) and he gave me a 1 whole chicken or 1 pound of beef minimum + Green Salad + Apple+ 2 table spoons of rice}+ Black coffee
Snack 2:
2 Scoops of whey+2 dose Creatine+ 3 hydroxycut HC
2 tuna cans in brine with 1 whole wheat toast
Pre Workout
1 dose creatine+ 1 scoop of whey+ BCAA+ Black Coffee
During Workout
Isotonic drink+ 1 scoop whey
Post workout
2 dose creatine
I large strip of Beef Jerky
Dinner (4 hours before sleep)
2 tuna cans+ 1 whole wheat toast
For workout he told me to train like a power lifter but at the last set to go to 50% of what I was using and go for Reps till I can’t nudge the weight
For cardio he said that my currrent steady state (20 minuites to work and back) is ok but I need to add twice a week some uphill sprinting (10x30m)
He told me lift like an animal and anything that had a soul once eat until you puke, he tells me in 6 weeks I will get measured again, and he bets I will lose around 4-5% bf.
Also I begin to pay starting next visit (first visit is free)
So opinions are quite appreciated

I’d pretty much agree with most of what he’s said. Some of which I’ve already advised you - low carb diet (in other words do a high protein/moderate-high fat diet), doing HIIT/sprinting twice a week, focusing on good strength training to increase/maintain muscle mass (for a good metabolism). The only part I’d slightly “err” with is the drop the load to 50% and rep out - personally, I wouldn’t drop it THAT low, more like to 70% 1RM and rep out (typically, this would be about 20-25% less weight of what you were using). Other than getting nutrients into the muscles I see very little benefit from doing 20+ rep sets (typically 50% RM)…except for maybe legs.
I agree that you have a very robust frame (good for powerlifting) and should work with that in a kind of “power-building” fashion (focus on getting stronger and bigger - don’t keep swapping exercises, and don’t neglect muscle groups either). I didn’t say much about it before because you mentioned something about injuries/joint problems?
It’s also true that you should be expected to lose around 4-5% bf in 6 weeks - he’s actually playing it safe by saying that - if done correctly it wouldn’t be unusual to lose 6%+ especially in your first 6 weeks of intensive work/diet.
As regards being a nutritionist’s nightmare - have to agree there too
Simply because especially at first, you’ll just need to improve on the basics (sticking to a plan)…which is why he gave you an outline and not specific calorie intakes every day (in other words, “walk before you run”). To be honest, you can’t go wrong with a nutritionist at your side (and you will be ahead of most who have to learn the “hard way”), but at the same time I would have saved it until I really got stuck (like at the leaner stages) before I hired a nutritionist since at this stage you can get much leaner on just the basics which you can easily learn.[/quote]
Well i would agree with what you said, but the last set or so is more for tendon breakdown, this is a no brainer when it comes to lifting very heavy weight then repping out. its to build elasticity in the tendons and ligaments, also helps stretch muscle fascia.
But EBulk man i think post workout you would benefit better from whey than Jerky. its absorbed 6 times faster than straight meat.
